Star Wars: Darth Maul Wishlist - 8 Things We'd Love To See
8. Co-Op Gameplay
Considering the fact that the last big co-op experience to feature the Star Wars licence was Lego Star Wars III, I think it's fair to say the feature is long overdue for a serious title. The most obvious choice for a co-op partner would of course be Maul's brother, Savage Opress, but old concept art seems to indicate that a red Twi'lek named 'Darth Talon' may be an ally of the apprentice in the run up to his involvement with the return of the Sith. Co-Op has always been something that tends to be omitted from Star Wars titles, even in places where it would make perfect sense to include it (I'm looking at you, Republic Commando), so something that allowed players to team up either online or on a couch would be very much appreciated. Out of the Shadows featured a rather intricate co-op combat system, so the possibility for it to flourish in a Maul-centred adventure is extremely high.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
