Near the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story, we learn that the leader of Crimson Dawn is, in fact, Darth Maul! Those of you who are even remotely familiar with The Clone Wars and Rebels will be well aware that the villain actually survived the events of The Phantom Menace and has since got himself a pair of robotic legs and spent years plotting revenge against Obi-Wan Kenobi for what he did to him.
What exactly this scene means for the future is hard to say. Is Maul being positioned as the big bad of a Solo trilogy would definitely be interesting but it seems far more likely that we'll see him appear in that planned Obi-Wan Kenobi movie instead. However, it's also just as likely this was thrown in for fans!
Either way, we can now tell you who took on the role of the older looking Darth Maul. After playing him in The Phantom Menace way back in 1999, that was indeed Ray Park who returned here but the villain's voice wasn't provided by Peter Serafinowicz. Instead, it was Sam Witwer - who's played Maul in everything from animated TV shows to video games in recent years - and last voiced him in Rebels.
Needless to say, that's pretty damn cool and this cameo was a really shocking moment. What did you guys think? Do you think they made the right casting choice? Share your thoughts down below.
