There is little doubt that Ray Park's performance as Darth Maul was one of the best things about Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Not surprisingly, Sam Witwer looks up to Park and credits him as the main reason why Maul was brought back in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Witwer has taken over the voice work for Maul in The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Nevertheless, the actor told ComicBook.com that he places "a lot of the credit at Ray's feet."
Fans were somehow devastated when Darth Maul was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequels but the Sith Lord has such an enduring quality that he was brought back in the fourth season of The Clone Wars. Although people have been hoping that Witwer would play Maul in a live-action Star Wars film, he refuses to do so if Park is not involved.
It would be great to see Park return as one of the most iconic Star Wars villain in the future. Here's hoping Maul will have a major comeback in the big screen soon.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 7 will be available on the Disney streaming service in 2019.
