So recently it was revealed that a Darth Maul game was in the works before the Disney merger would see it cancelled. Game Informer did an article about it. I thought I should share this excerpt:
The next day, Red Fly finally met with George Lucas, but not before being told how to talk to him. Our source says they were told to never say "No" to him, or to say, "Yeah, that will be easy." They were also told not to mention Force Unleashed's protagonist, Starkiller. If he's referred to by George, it will be "that guy." The most important rule, much like not feeding a Mogwai after midnight, was "Don't tell George how the Force works."
Red Fly's representatives arrived at the meeting point early the next day, only to find Lucasarts employees rushing Force Unleashed artwork out of the conference room, and replacing it with other Star Wars artworks, including the placement of the Sideshow Collectibles statues of Darth Maul and Darth Talon to the table.
A friendly George Lucas entered the room and was eager to hear the pitch from Red Fly's creatives, "Before they could finish their spiel, Lucas cut them off, stood up, walked over to the statues, rotated them to be facing the same direction, pushed them together, and said 'They're friends!'"
"He wanted these characters to be friends, and to play off each other. He talked about the show Burn Notice as a reference point. He likened Darth Maul to Sonny from The Godfather and he likened Darth Talon to Lauren Bacall. He actually did an impersonation of her. It was supposedly the weirdest impersonation of a '40s actress going, 'Don't you know how to whistle? Put your lips together and blow.'"
