Solo : A Star Wars Storywriters Lawrence and Jon Kasdan discuss Darth Maul ’s   unexpected cameo in the spinoff . Those well - poetize in franchise canyon know the former Sith Lordsurvived his brush with Obi - Wan Kenobi inThe Phantom Menace , but for a majority of passing audiences , Maul ’s appearance was nonetheless surprising .

Once the shock absorber of seeing Darth Maul on the full-grown projection screen again wore off , one of the prominent motion became why the originative team opt him for this finicky role .

In an consultation withUproxx , the film writer tinge on the Maul cameo , with Jon describing how it came to be :

" I was   really   passionate about him all the way through .   I sort of had planted the seeds early and I wanted it to be build up that way . And I wanted to cite sure forms of martial graphics that might contribute to it . And the presence of someone who was   so   terrifying in this crime world that you just had to know he was the guy rope who could insure someone like Dryden . So he was part of the DNA of the thing . ”

It search like Darth Maul was n’t a forced plot decimal point from Lucasfilm or the tale group ( which is n’t the means the studio apartment work anyway ) , which is a nice development . The sequence for certain has the flavour of something intentionally added to plant seeds for followups , so it ’ll be interesting to see what becomes of the annoyer . It ’s one of the threadsSololeaves dangling , and it could be resolved in any of the various mediums across canon . Qi’ra working with Darth Maul sounds like a compelling solidifying - up for a novel or comic bow , though withSolodoing firm numbers at the box office , perhaps Lucasfilm will employ the Maul shot as a springboardfor a sequel to Ron Howard ’s cinema .

If that were to hap , it would commit Lucasfilm in a fleck of a enigma . One of Han ’s most famous lines inA New Hopeis when he says he never ascertain any proof of the Force during his travel , intend a showdown with Darth Maul could negate that . Lawrence Kasdan said in the same interview he think Han was always a doubter up until his death ( which is debatable considering dialogue inThe Force Awakens ) , but perhaps there could be a fashion to pull it off . Maybe Han would push aside anything Maul does as a clump of"simple tricks and nonsense"and never intend twice about it .
