rookie question: is darth maul's red face supposed to be the result of a hideous accident, or...does he wake up every day and paint his face?
― ya'll are the ones who don't know things (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:53 (nine years ago) link
He doesn't paint it every day. Usually just a little touch-up in the mornings and then a shower and a repaint every third day or so.

Maul, the Dathomirian[3] Zabrak male[1] who would become the feared Darth Maul, was born on Dathomir[8] to Kycina, a Human Nightsister of Mother Talzin's coven and a Zabrak father who, by tradition, was murdered after Maul's conception.[1] By birth, Maul was a Nightbrother;[1] a clan of male Zabraks from Dathomir who served as warriors and slaves of the dominant Nightsisters.[13] Like the rest of his kin, Maul was subjected, shortly after birth, to an initiation ritual during which he was immersed in a "magic" oily bath, and covered head to toe in black and red tattoos.[1] Later stripped of his black Nightbrother markings, Maul was left solely red-skinned.[19] Agonizing Sith tattoos were applied personally by Darth Sidious in an attempt to cleanse Maul's mind[19] as well as demonstrating Maul's complete dedication to the dark side.[2]

I'd like to see the full range of facepainting options Maul tried out before he settled on one. Although I guess I'm assuming he actually did settle on one. Maybe the face we saw was just the one he chose for that day's outing.

he was tattooed twice lol

Presumably with the same tattoos.

did darth sidious personally apply the horns with gorilla glue as well, or was he born with them?

Wonder if there's a contradiction in the canon here. The red and black tattoos seem to be a generic Sith thing: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_tattoo

I remember going to my first comic book convention as a wee lad ( a "youngling"?) and wandering into the wrong room. Lo! I encountered Star Trek "filksinging". Shudder. Is there a SWequivalent?

srs question - is "filk" really just a Trek thing? I thought it was more generic than that.

it's mostly banter about whether or not JJ will bring back the OG star wars' heart and soul, i.e. incest

a Zabrak father who, by tradition, was murdered after Maul's conception.
this is positively the dumbest thing i've ever read in my entire life
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 22:48 (nine years ago) link
it seems like such a waste of a good Zabrak
― $0.00 Butter sauce only. No marinara. (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 22:49 (nine years ago) link
maybe it was many years after conception. it does not say 'immediately after'.
― $0.00 Butter sauce only. No marinara. (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 22:51 (nine years ago) link
but someone should have been murdered after Maul's conception is what I'm sayin
that tradition would quickly result in a declining population and eventual extinction, is the weird thing

i want to know more about this Zabrak universe. i would like to know the story of Darth Maul's father, just after his birth. like did he just walk around awaiting his murder or did he fight back? i hope that every father who gets murdered goes down in a 20 minute light saber battle

i imagine that in the Zabrak world that climactic fight scene music from TPM is constantly playing as people get murdered left and right. also in the Zabrak world men are always weeping as they have sex for some reason

I mean if the male reproduction rate is anything lower than 100% you're going to have an exponentially declining population

what is the point? u know preying mantises actually have kind of a reason for killing dad right? how do they even keep their population stable if they kill the dad right after a conception? is their infant mortality rate zero? so every darth maul couple can have at most 1 darth maul child who might get their junk chopped off by a lightsaber before they can even produce another darth maul embryo?
ok gd i underestimate this ridiculous thread many xps
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 22:55 (nine years ago) link
UNLESS
what if the Zabrak men father multiple babies? if there's even 15 minutes allowed before they get murdered, that's enough time to jump in the bushes with someone else
― ya'll are the ones who don't know things (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 22:57 (nine years ago) link
that must be it. otherwise you're right, the population would quickly crash. glad to have cleared that up!
