Yes, they are tattoos (depending on who you ask). The franchise introduced one of its most notorious villains in Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999). Despite having limited lines and “dying” at the end of the same film he made his first appearance in, Darth Maul’s iconic double-edged red lightsaber, devilish horns, and tribal tattoos cemented the character in geek culture legend, and he has remained a fan favorite ever since. One person that was fond of the character was Dave Filoni, who felt compelled to bring him back to the franchise in the animated TV series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels.
