V11LLAIN QUIZ: DARTH MAUL
Hands down the coolest villain of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace is Darth Maul. (Unless you were a big fan of the Trade Federation’s Viceroy Nute Gunray, a name you probably haven’t thought of in decades.) Maul was fast, lethal, stylistic, had a doubled-bladed red lightsaber, and looked like he escaped from Hell’s Balanciaga catalog. How well do you know Darth Maul? These 11 questions will see.
1. Darth Maul’s distinctive head spikes are natural: he’s of a race of aliens called what?
2. How many horns does he have? (Note: remember the two coming out of him temples, as well as the ones around his crown.)
3. There are only ever two Siths, a master and an apprentice. Darth Maul was the apprentice; who was his master?
4. Sith take on names: Darth Vader is famously really Anakin Skywalker. Has Maul’s real name ever been revealed?
5. The actor who played Darth Maul, Ray Park, went on to play which villain in 2000’s X-Men movie.
6. Park’s Scottish accent wasn’t considered menacing enough for the role. Which deep-voiced UK comedy legend was brought in to dub the lines?
7. What’s the name of the stirring piece of music (written by John Williams) the accompanies Maul’s lightsaber fight? (It was also a working title of Star Wars Episode IX.)
8. Which Jedi did Darth Maul kill?
9. And then which Jedi cut Darth Maul in half?
10. Many of the stories about Darth Maul, and thus what we know about him, were wiped clean in 2014 when what company bought Star Wars and all of Lucasfilm?
11. Maul reappeared, with some dynamite robolegs, in the post-credit scene of which recent Star Wars film?
