Lucasfilm Releases Promotional Pictures from The Secret ‘Solo’ Cameo (SPOILER)
If you’ve seen Solo: A Star Wars Story, then you know all about the secret cameo of a fan favorite character. But you haven’t seen everything…until now.
To promote the upcoming digital release of Solo this Friday, Forbes detailed the cameo of everyone’s favorite Sith Apprentice, Darth Maul. They even spoke with Ray Park, who revealed how he was approached to be in the film.
Best of all, the article included several promotional stills of Maul, featuring his robot legs!
According to the article, it appears Maul’s inclusion in the film came about the same time that Ron Howard took over the film.
“I found out last June/July when we were in Guatemala,” he tells me, a time which, unbeknownst to him, coincided with Howard stepping into the director’s chair. “I got the phone call from Lynne Hale from Lucasfilm. And it was really nice of her, because she said to me ‘Ray, we’re just calling to see if you would like to do it.’ And I went [inhales slowly] ‘Yeah. Do you want me on the plane now?’” He ended up filming in October, towards the end of production.

In the most recent episode of “The Star Wars Show” on YouTube, Sam Witwer, who provided the voice of Maul in “The Clone Wars” and “Rebels,” and now Solo, discusses his return to the role.
