Darth Maul concept art by Iain McCaig for THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999), a film that was apparently aimed at children.

Not many people realize Darth Maul actually has his own musical motif in the film: it’s not “Duel of the Fates”, but this eerie lone wolf howl you hear in “The Droid Invasion And The Appearance of Darth Maul” on the soundtrack at 3:20. A splendid little bit that you might not have noticed—but your brain did (as that review goes). I always feel THE PHANTOM MENACE could have been as good as any Star Wars film if only Lucas had collaborated more. It’s a first draft brimming with potential.
