Before Lucas nailed down the character of Darth Maul, he instructed Iain McCaig to brainstorm what a Sith Lord might look like. At first McCaig gave them large, organic-looking cloaks and bizarre, crusader-influenced helmets. He also tried a few female versions, for which Lucas instructed him to draw his worst nightmare. The first “Sith Witch” was so terrifying that Lucas asked McCaig to back off a bit and just draw his “second worst nightmare”.

Simultaneously, McCaig was also creating “evil senators”, and began experimenting with facial tattoos and scars, leading to the creation of Darth Maul. (The senators’ likenesses were based on previsualization/effects supervisor David Dozoretz, photographer Greg Gawlowski, and production designer Gavin Bocquet.)

The first image of Darth Maul nearly ended up in the trash. McCaig had been dissatisfied with a drawing (based on his own face), and angrily blotted ink all over it. The ink patterns reminded him of the tattoos he had created for the “evil senators”, and soon Darth Maul was born. At first the protrusions on top of Maul’s head were not horns, but feathers attached by coils of wire which cut into the flesh. These soft feathers, along with the touch of beauty McCaig added to the face, lend an element of seduction to the dark side.

first hunt [teaching and learning, @jedijune]

one of the things i love about the jedi is how they not only have their own distinct temple based culture, but how they also learn about and follow the traditions of their cultures of birth. here, shaak ti is teaching ahsoka tano on the plains of shili, so she can complete the akul hunt.

“The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.
And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.”
