  • The Star Wars Darth Maul game from Red Fly Studio titled Battle of the Sith Lords was set to release in the early 2010s, but never made it. The Darth Maul game had working lightsaber combat, force powers, Mandalorians, and Darth Maul's speeder bike gameplay. Red Fly had also previously worked on The Force Unleashed 2, and were in talks with LucasArts. So why did this new Star Wars game get cancelled? And could a Darth Maul game possibly release in the future?

      LucasFilm/Arts made some big mistakes and a lot of games have sadly been killed off forever almost arbitrarily.
      It's gotten worse than ever under Disney and giving EA total exclusivity - thankfully that is no longer the case, but FECK ME! We could've had 20 Star Wars games under EA had they decided to truly milk it and Disney had given the many studios more freedom with story - I'd have loved the LEGENDS canon had been expanded more and more in games, like 3-6 games, and 14 games to date fitting the Disney narrative - even if it is a bit forced. Like the awful 'sequel trilogy' they're demanding us to love, which... isn't working very well.
      Such a total waste. EA and Disney had so many games cancelled, and we only got 3 real games. Battlefront 1, 2 and Fallen Order.
      Such a waste! So many possible games will never ever see the light of day...

Not to mention it seems like every decision that was made that cause Disney Star Wars to be incredibly hated was due to Kathleen Kennedy who was the person who George left in charge not Disney. Also even with that idea of a George's sequels it seems like he just stole Red Fly's work and make that their sequel. Even if he wanted to sell it to spend more time with his family he didn't seem to make sure it was in good hands first before selling the company to Disney who was only Star Wars project they worked on was Star Tours. He basically set Disney and Lucasfilm to fail.

      'Did you ever hear The Tragedy of 1313? I thought not. It is not a story the the community would tell you. It's an old gaming legend. 1313 was a dark game of Lucasarts, so beautiful and so story driven, he could have been possible to use it to influence the the community that Lucasarts can create good games... they had such a knowledge of next gen technology that some say it could even keep the company they cared about from dying. The dark side of business is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. It was so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing their parent company Lucasfilm, which eventually, of course, they did. Unfortunately, George sold everything they knew to Disney, then killed Lucasarts at 99% complete with 1313. It's ironic he could have almost save Lucasarts from death, but not from Disney.'

Seriously with the way our Fandom is you know that's far from impossible. There's nothing wrong with enjoying force unleashed or the sequels or enjoying neither or enjoying one.

    That’s... Soul crushing. It sounds like that studio was incredibly good at what it did, but too small to be taken seriously by larger partners like Lucasarts: They had everything well underway, then they got told to change it, they miraculously managed, only to get told to change it again; time came to show what they’d done and the same people who told them to effectively start over tell them that it’s not fluid enough. They get tired of the indecisiveness their partner is displaying, so go looking for a strong, solid game plan from the big boss; only to realise that he has next to no interest in what they’d envisioned or created up to that point and is at this point severely disconnected from the larger narrative in the universe he himself had created... Damnit, it’s literally the story of a talented group getting screwed over by the ones who hired them not knowing what the hell they wanted.

    I worked as an artist for this game. It was a dream project for me personally. When they shut down the project because of the Disney Merger it was over before it even began. Everytime a company gets bought out, redundancies in their portfolios get thrown out. We are all just a number to these corporations. I dont buy or subscribe to any Disney related properties anymore. Their greed is overwhelming and nothing they do is for the good of people. Its just all about $$$.

      Not entirely but I can see what they mean but that's kind of missing the context. Anakin doesn't "cRieS" at all after he turned on Mace Windu but I can see what they're talking about it's just that there was more nuanced things happening that wasn't overtly clear to the audience.

      People and myself have ALWAYS taken Star Wars seriously, it's just that other lucas doesn't always take it AS seriously as other people hopped. It's how we get jokey characters like Jar jar and Ewoks at times and Lucas continuously saying "star wars is for kids" when that's CLEARLY not true at all. Star Wars is a FANTASTIC franchise and at it's best when it's taking itself seriously but it can only reach it's best when the right people are helming it.

    I think there biggest over look is what Darth Maul was originally trained to be. An Assassin. I bet if they ran the new engine. But made it like star wars meets Assassin's Creed style keeping in mind maul was meant to be an assassin. Theyd have more success. Cover his training/background as early game. Then make the middle him pulling off key assassinations that Palpatine would use to set the stage for the war he was planning. And then make the end tie into the events of phantom menace. Malls defeated by obi wan and we know the rest from there.

    Nowadays for Star Wars, Maul has been shoehorned into nearly everything, Rebels, Solo and now the new Clone Wars Season so i feel it after the newer Clone Wars season is done they should continue working on this game and hopefully it is secretly in the works as Maul as a character is more hyped than before so i believe now is a perfect time to drop in a game about him.

    • @Gadget-Walkmen
      @Gadget-Walkmen Рік тому

      Not really at all as I REALLY wished George didn't bring maul back AT ALL for the sequel trilogy in the slightest. Rebels gave Maul a PERFECT ending with his final fight with Obi-wan cutting him down and maul dying right there and then to perfectly close off his character ending with his enemy with prequel era stuff perfectly closing off as the originally trilogy begins. That was WAY more fitting and perfect for Maul's character with his conflict with Obi-wan for decades on end than whatever plan that George thought up of for him bringing him back for his sequel trilogy. It's for the best that Maul was brought back to flesh up out to give him more character and depth which he got a MASSIVE ton of and became one of the best characters in Star Wars due to Clone Wars and Rebels but he REALLY shouldn't have came back AT ALL for the "sequel trilogy" in the slightest, he should have just made just NEW villains that NOT Darth Maul at all. I'm fine with Darth Talon being one of them but NOT Darth Maul coming back, it's just unnecessary for him to come back.
