Darth Maul Theory

Posted By Scott on November 14, 1998

More commentary on the Darth Maul theory. If it ends up being true, it's a spoiler, so you'll have to highlight it to read it.

Now that we've heard one side of the theory thinking that Darth Maul might be a clone of Obi-Wan, it's time to hear the other side of the argument. Prequel Watch and several others have stated that the packaging we saw for the figures was prototype packaging. We've been able to confirm that the packaging is not a prototype, but rather the real thing. It's what you'll see on the shelves. So the question is whether or not the depiction of Maul was accurate on the cover. One of our informants said the paint marks on the face were accurate, but the facial features are different. They said, "While Darth Maul's face appears thinner and his ears bigger, this could all be a work of makeup artist." Jon Gyngell also noticed the same thing about the Prototype Figures revealed on Prequel Watch a while back.:

I thought I'd try to add a new perspective to this interesting idea. Do you remember the pics of the Kenner prequel toys from a while back, well if you compare the Obi-Wan and Maul figures, it looks like they are in *no way* the same. Totally different face shape, especially the chin. I know sometimes the Kenner figures can be a little inaccurate, but surely something as important as a clone would be seen in the figures too? Also, looking at the differences between the figures made me look again the Darth Maul pic. The chin seems too long to be Ewan's. Plus Ewan has a very large mole on his cheek which is not apparent on Maul (even if it was painted red, you would see the outline. Surely a clone would inherit moles?!). I also tried (*very* roughly) painting the whole of Maul's face red to get rid of the misleading black tatoos. Again, it doesn't look much like Ewan to me. What do you think?

The figures DO look a lot different, don't they? Some of you also recall a post we made a while back about Ewan and Liam Neseson dueling. You wondered if that was the scene between Qui-Gon and Maul. Well, actually, while it could be possible, you'll notice that the Obi-Wan action figure is called "Jedi Duel Obi-Wan". Is there a scene where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan have a sparring match? Possibly. So, the discussion continues. :)
