George Lucas’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:plans fo♛r a Star Wars sequel trilogy were pretty surprising🎉 – not least of the fact they would have ♒centred on the emergence of a new villain previously seen in the panels of a mid-‘00s comic book that was once part of the Extended Universe canon.

Darth Talon, whose first appearance came in 2006’s Star Wars: Legacy comic series, was going to form a partnership with a resurrec🥂ted Darth Maul in Lucas’s outline for Episodes 7-9, a trilogy that would have also seen Leia become Supreme Chancellor of the New Republic. The Darth Talon that Lucas intended to use would not have been the same as the one in the comics but would have been influenced by her (in other words, the story would have been very different). 

So, what would Darth Talon, Maul’s new apprentice, have looked like on the big screen? Thanks to some recently re-emerged concept art courtesy of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm creative art manager Phil Szost൲ak, 🍸we have a better idea.

So, Darth Talon is… female Darth Maul. Those twin lightsabers certainly show the apple doesn’t fall far froꦕm the Sith tree in terms of unorthodox fighting styles. The concept art also hints at ꩲher powers of seduction and feels a little out of place in the Star Wars universe.

Of course, Darth Talon didn’t make it into either the unmade sequel trilogy, but that character design was in the works for what eventually became 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo previously said (via ) that Darth Talon was originally conceived as a character that would seduce Han and Leia’s s🃏on over to the Dark Side, an idea that eventually morphed into Kylo Ren – the offspring of the Organa/Solo relationship – becoming a Sith.

Whaꦕt could have been. No Lucas-made Episode 7. No twin lightsabers. No Darth Talon. Boo. Instead, we all had🐷 to make do with shirtless Kylo Ren.
