Minifigure Background[]
The original Darth Maul variant had black legs and a black torso, with white printing to depict his Sith assassin robes. The figure came with a cloak and a black hood, and the head was mostly black, with red printing to depict his Sith tattoos. It appeared in the sets Star Wars 1, Lightsaber Duel, Sith Infiltrator (1999), and Sith Infiltrator (2007). The Darth Maul minifigure was redesigned for a release in 2011. This figure also had black legs and a black torso, with similar printing to the original variant, with a black cloak and hood as well. The most striking difference between the two variants was the head; this variant had more detailed printing and a new headpiece to depict his Zabrak horns instead of using a hood. It features in the set 7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator. This variant had bright red legs and a red torso with printing to mimic a Santa Claus costume for the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. The 2012 variant, again, had black legs but a red torso with printing to depict the Sith tattoos on his open chest. His head was similar to the 2011 variant with a menacing snarl, and it was released in the exclusive 5000062 Darth Maul set. A Clone Wars variant had exclusive, grey legs designed to mimic the mechanical ones given to him by the Nightsister Mother Talzin. His torso was red, with printing similar to the previous variant to depict his Sith tattoos. His head was red and black, with printing to depict his tattoos, but had larger eyes to depict his appearance in the Clone Wars TV series. It features in the set Mandalorian Speeder. In 2015, Maul had gained another redesign on his face that mostly changed his eyes, though everything else had stayed the same. In 2021, in the Duel on Mandalore set, Darth Maul had kept the same face, though he has a different expression, and now he has his tunic slightly open, revealing his tattooed chest along with it. Finally, in the 2024 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, he lost his pupils for purely yellow eyes, though he regained the fully clothed tunic that he's had since 2013.

Video Game Background[]
In 32 BBY, Darth Maul was sent to kill the Jedi by Viceroy Nute Gunray and Rune Haako on the Blockade of Naboo after Queen Amidala escaped. Darth Maul battled Qui-Gon Jinn on Tatooine to kill Padmé Amidala and young Anakin Skywalker. But Qui-Gon managed to escape the Sith Lord. Qui-Gon Jinn then spoke with the Jedi Council to find out that the Sith lords had returned from a thousand years. Maul later dueled him and his padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo. Maul killed Qui-Gon Jinn, but in the end, Obi-Wan cut him in two halves and he fell into the reactor pit. None of his role in the show Star Wars: The Clone Wars makes it into the third entry of the Lego Star Wars series, Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars.
No levels in Story Mode have ever had Darth Maul as one of the playable characters, though he actually is one of the only characters to have a level named after him, where he of course is fought at Naboo in Lego Star Wars: The Video Game and The Complete Saga.
Other Media[]
In Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out! movie, Darth Maul plays the role of Darth Vader's rival, as they both fight for Emperor Palpatine's apprenticeship several times throughout the film. He doesn't have much screen time, though towards the end of the movie, while Vader was hunting down Luke Skywalker, Maul was actually put in charge of building the second Death Star, and he made it look like himself, which he thought was "awesome", though Palpatine hated it. Soon Vader accidentally crashes into the "Darth Star" and the debris hit the Star Destroyer's view-ports that ejects Maul into space, much to everyone's happiness, and ending Maul's role in the film.
He appears briefly in The Yoda Chronicles as well as Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales.
