The Big Picture Star Wars’ new series, The Acolyte, aims to impress on all levels — even the most ambitious. Dafne Keen teased to Entertainment Weekly that the lightsaber fights in the new series were meant to challenge the likes of Darth Maul . The Sith apprentice made his live-action debut in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and immediately became an icon.
The Logan actor is no stranger to the physical components of acting and reveled in the challenge. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, being able to pick up a lightsaber as a new character, Jecki Lon, was a dream come true. But two decades and some change gave Maul time to marinate and become the figure that he is. The Acolyte will have to do some heavy lifting to beat the fan-favorite moment.
The Zabrak effectively only has two lines of dialogue in the film, but spawned immense love from the fandom. He has gone on to be voiced by Sam Witwer in Dave Filoni’sStar Wars animated series, constantly plagued with vengeful thoughts towards Obi-Wan for chopping off his legs. In recent years, Maul has almost become a sympathetic figure. Filoni finalized his character arc in the best way possible in Star Wars: Rebels.
