The Star Wars prequel trilogy added many colorful new characters to the ongoing saga in a galaxy far, far away. In The Phantom Menace, the terrifying Sith assassin Darth Maul made his debut, threatening to dispatch Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi before they could free Naboo from the Trade Federation's forces.
Darth Maul took on both Jedi himself, and even after Obi-Wan slashed him in half, the stubborn Maul arose once again to torment the galaxy's heroes years later. A stylish villain like Darth Maul calls for awesome cosplay, and these cosplayers have answered the call of the Dark Side.
10 The Silent Warrior
Cosplayer tronix_cosplay clearly put a lot of effort into this Darth Maul outfit, and it paid off in all kinds of ways. It should be noted that despite his fearsome lightsaber skills and assassination training, Darth Maul isn't the type to boast. He's deadly silent.
This cosplayer captures Darth Maul's quiet intimidation well, with the eerie, dim lighting and how Maul's stern glare and his fully-lit lightsaber blade do the talking for him. This is the last thing his victims ever see.
9 Partners In Crime, Sith Edition
Solo: A Star Wars Story introduced viewers to Qira, a crafty and street-wise young woman with ties to Han Solo himself. But what Han doesn't know is that Qira is also linked to Darth Maul, who is skirting in the galaxy's shadows. He's definitely been to Dathomir, at least.
Cosplayer makingyourownmagic brings an intense Darth Maul who has cheated death and is ready for another round with the galaxy's light-side defenders, and he can count on Qira to back him up. Watch out, Skywalkers.
8 The Skull Sith Lord
Many villains are known for their skull motifs since the human skull is a universal symbol of death. Darth Maul would rather kill his victims and move on, but once in a while, some fear tactics may help soften up a formidable foe before moving in for the kill.
That's what capuchinocosplay's Darth Maul seems to be thinking, and when this Sith assassin couldn't get any scarier, he added some dazzling white teeth to frighten his enemies. That stormtrooper must be terrified.
7 Darth Maul On An Alien Shore
Like Darth Maul, a Sith assassin will explore every corner of the known galaxy, carrying out one gruesome execution after another on Darth Sidious's orders. Darth Maul has seen countless worlds, but not as a tourist. He's all business.
Cosplayer todd_slingerland depicts the famed Zabrak assassin on the eerie evening shores of a faraway planet, and he's got stylish boots with straps to hike along rugged terrain before finding his victim. Someone's about to meet a bad end under the moonlight.
6 Darth Maul, Sith Samurai
Ever since the beginning, the Star Wars franchise has borrowed a few visual elements from Japanese film and culture, such as the robes worn by Jedi Knights and the Sith alike, not to mention the seven lightsaber's names forms. So, cosplayer perletricks took things to the next level with Samurai Maul.
Darth Maul looks quite comfortable in shiny but chilling samurai armor, complete with the traditional horns and fangs of Japanese ogres and demons and a green chest plate for some contrast with the red, black, and silver. The result is remarkable.
5 Darth Maul, Enraged
Cosplayer shesgotthelooksthatkill decided to add a new twist to Darth Maul and allow him to grow his hair out to looks a bit more like a glam metal rock star. The new-look suits Darth Maul well, and that long hair would whip all around as Maul engages in mortal combat.
Darth Maul is normally ice-cold during a mission, but this time, someone must have angered him because Darth Maul has an "I'll kill you and enjoy it" look on his face. That's the face of someone who can't wait to torment their foes.
4 Arm Wrestling Of The Fates
When Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon faced Darth Maul, the song that played was titled "Duel of the Fates," and now, that music is playing once again, even if the contest isn't quite so bloody. Who isn't up for an arm-wrestling match fueled by the Force?
Darth Maul lost to Obi-Wan once, but he won't lose again, and his biceps will prove it. Cosplayer realpoolky has a great sense of humor, depicting this scary skull-headed Darth Maul challenging Obi-Wan to a contest like this.
3 North Pole Darth Maul
'Tis the season in a galaxy far, far away, and whether someone has been naughty or nice, Darth Maul has foreseen it. In the Force, of course. He's ready to sling some presents this holiday season, and he takes this duty very seriously.
Cosplayer justllew elegantly combines the holiday spirit with Darth Maul's trademark black and red, giving Maul a Sith robe-inspired Santa coat, complete with white trim to contrast with the dark pants and gloves. It's a dazzling visual effect.
2 The Desert Sith Lord
Tatooine may be a hot, dry, and sandy place baking under two suns, but Darth Maul feels excellent, going around in a black robe while in the prowl for Queen Amidala. Once his spy droids rooted out the heroes' location, Darth Maul swooped in for the kill.
Cosplayer mauler_cosplay brought this Sith assassin to life in true style, elegantly capturing Maul's first lightsaber fight, right there on the boiling Tatooine dunes. He's about to give Qui-Gon the fight of his life, and there shall be no mercy.
1 Sith Lady Maul
The gender-bent Darth Maul has arrived, and she's looking good. Villains such as Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, and Kylo Ren dominate the Star Wars movie, but in the overall lore, many powerful women have turned to the Dark Side as well, and this time, Maul is counted among them.
Cosplayer ireene.mv_art strikes an elegant but vicious pose, showing off lady Maul's finely honed skills and stylish black leather boots at the same time. Her long, dark hair and calm, ice-cold eyes help round out this Sith lady just right.
