North America $474,544,677 movie minutiaeDarth Maul only speaks a total of three lines spending almost all of his screen time either listening, walking or standing quietly, or fighting. Interesting is that Maul actually has a very memorable, intense monologue about fear that was used in TV spots but never actually made it into the final movie. Furthermore, Peter Serafinowicz has stated in an interview that he actually recorded much more dialogue for Maul that never ended up in the film.
George Lucas made a similar deal as he did with STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (1977). Lucas and Twentieth Century Fox agreed that he would forego his salary as a director, provided he owns the entire negative of the final cut of the film, as well as ancillary rights of all toys and commercial tie-ins.
The Droid killed by Jar Jar Binks at the end, has serial number 1138 on his back. THX 1138 (1971) was Lucas' first film and starred Robert Duvall. related movies |
