Conflicting sources
Many fans wondered if we could see, in the series, the return of Darth Maul, Kenobi’s longtime enemy. Well, according to a new report from THR, Darth Maul will not appear in the series. However, it is also revealed that everything had been prepared for his return to the screen. Ray Parkwho played Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and Solo: A Star Wars Story, was preparing to return.
However, creative changes to the series resulted in the removal (quite simply) of the role of Darth Maul. For their part, representatives of Lucasfilm have denied any plans to include the character in the series, but the sources of THR claim the opposite. Either way, we won’t see Darth Maul within the next Star Wars series.
