Star Wars: Darth Maul Wishlist - 8 Things We'd Love To See
4. The Creation Of Maul's Infamous Sabre
This is a bit of a no-brainer, but any game tackling Maul's origins simply has to depict the moment he first brandishes those two crimson blades. When audiences first got a glimpse of the horned assassin in the Phantom Menace's first trailer they had no clue who he was, but they all simultaneously lost it when they saw his weapon of choice make its appearance. The moment players get to wield Maul's sabres for the first time has to be equally as intimidating and fearsome as it was when it featured back in Episode I's finale, so making the warrior as fearful and as powerful as possible has to be a priority if the project is resurrected.
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.
