John tells us about this cool new code with a Star Wars twist in a skateboarding game:

I figure you guys already know about this, but I haven't seen any headlines, but... I beat Tony Hawk 3 with all goals complete with create-a-skater, and text jumped out saying "DARTH MAUL UNLOCKED." Yup, everyone's favorite, horned Sith Apprentice is a skater in Tony Hawk 3. He has a manual where he spins his lightsaber, a grind where he does that sideways flip he did while duking it out with Obi Wan, and he has a "grab" trick where he spins his hover board using the Force. He looks cool as hell, too. And check out the skateshop guy.

UPDATE

Out of curiosity, I asked the guys at LucasArts if they knew about this. Here's the response, from Tom Sarris:

Yes, the inclusion of Darth Maul in Tony Hawk 3 as a bonus playable character was approved by LucasArts. We thought it would be something players would get a kick out of.
