The great villain of the Star Wars trilogy was once Darth Maul

Before JJ Abrams made Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015, George Lucas had his own plans for a Star Wars sequel trilogy that never came to fruition. Instead, he sold his Lucasfilm company to Disney. Now, we've learned a bit more about what Lucas had in mind, thanks to an excerpt from an interview with the new Star Wars Archives book released earlier this week, as noted by r/StarWarsLeaks. "Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comics, as his apprentice," the passage reads. "She was the new Darth Vader, and most of the action was with her. So those were the two main villains of the trilogy. Maul eventually becomes the godfather of crime in the universe because, as the "Empire fall, take control." The main storyline of Lucas's proposed trilogy, according to the excerpt, was Leia trying to take back the Republic while fending off this growing criminal threat. Meanwhile, many remnants of the Empire formed their own groups in different planets. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker attempts to rebuild the Jedi. There are only a few paragraphs of details, but this is how the three films were originally intended to end. "By the end of the trilogy, Luke would have rebuilt much of the Jedi and we would have the renewal of the New Republic, with Leia, Senator Organa, becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything. So she ended up being the one." These passages are apparently based on new material from interviews with Lucas himself. Once Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney, JJ Abrams and writer Lawrence Kasdan ended up taking the trilogy in their own direction. Darth Talon is no longer a part of Star Wars continuity, as far as we know, but the character wasn't created until 2006, so Lucas clearly spent some time thinking about how she might turn out. roll out after the release of the prequels. Talon's art was also included in an art book for The Force Awakens. It was also previously revealed that the plan was for Talon to corrupt Leia and Han Solo's son; in the end, Kylo Ren's journey in the movies ended up being quite different.

Mutilated reality

Few things are as controversial in modern pop culture as the direction of the Star Wars sequel films: it's easy to get carried away with the simulation settings that surround the movies. Skywalker's rise ended up being the subject of intense discussion when plans for the earlier version of the film, Duel of the Fates, leaked online in the form of concept art and script leaks. Our advice? Try not to think too much about all the times Star Wars has been bad and watch The Mandalorian instead.
