Concept Art and Trivia

In the finished episode, Asajj Ventress is in the Mos Eisley Cantina when she discovers that Savage Opress has a hefty price on his head. In the background are Embo, Sugi and Seripas. In the original script, she was to be in a bar on Florrum, frequented by Hondo Ohnaka’s pirates.

Among the bounties listed are: Nim Mindbend, a Siniteen, wanted dead for 120,000 credits for kidnapping, theft and murder; Omar Toggs, a Rodian, wanted dead or alive for 75,000 credits for racketeering and extortion; and Zug Tassik, a Trandoshan, wanted dead or alive for 800,000 for mass murder. Though the hunters say Savage is worth a million credits, his on-screen bounty only lists 550,000. His warrant lists “fleeing the scene of a crime.”

Maul’s cyborg form was first defined in illustrations by ILM concept artist Aaron McBride, developed for a 2005 graphic novel, Star Wars: Visionaries.

The Turtle Tank design was inspired by Dave Filoni’s pet turtle, Goji. Illustration by Dave Filoni.

For those wondering, the Turtle Tanker is not stranded in space without its cockpit/escape pod. There is a secondary command module in the ship. It’s where Maul sits at the end of the episode.
