The reveal set up Darth Maul to be a major presence in a “Solo” sequel, although the movie’s poor box office performance has squashed those plans for now. It’s presumed he’s the leader of the organization. The return of Darth Maul was teased in the “Star Wars” film franchise in “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” The villain was revealed to have not only survived the events of “The Phantom Menace” but also to have climbed the ladder of organized crime in the galaxy as the superior to Crimson Dawn syndicate boss Dryden Vos (Paul Bettany). So these were the two main villains of the trilogy.” “Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comic books, as his apprentice,” Lucas continues, “She was the new Darth Vader and most of the action was with her. Darth Maul would appear with “mechanical legs” and “become the godfather of crime in the universe because, as the Empire falls, he takes over.” Perhaps the biggest revelation is that Lucas intended to resurrect “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace” villain Darth Maul and turn him into the main antagonist of the trilogy. George Lucas provides new details about his original plan for the “ Star Wars” sequel trilogy in Taschen’s upcoming book “The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005” (via Polygon).

Whether your attachment style is secure, anxious, or avoidant determines how you function in intimate relationships. How Attachment Styles Affect Our Relationships Our beliefs and behaviors about intimacy fall into one of three diverse categories or “attachment styles”-secure, anxious, or avoidant. The fact that human attachment is an inescapable fact of biology gives rise to our differing methods of dealing with it. In prehistoric times, pairs of humans had a better chance of survival than any solo human, so genetic selection favored people who “attached”-or learned how to develop close bonds with others. Psychologists believe this brain wiring is an evolutionary adaptation. Our brains’ attachment systems create, monitor, and maintain our connections with the people who matter to us. But by understanding how attachment drives us, we can achieve less conflict and more harmony in our relationships.Īttached: The New Science of Adult Attachment is based on the premise that people are biologically driven to seek intimacy and closeness with a significant other. If two partners’ attachment responses fall on opposing ends of the spectrum, clashes are inevitable. Some people feel the attachment urge and automatically want to resist it or suppress it. Even though every human is wired with this urge for closeness, we respond to its pull in different ways. Many of the problems we face in our romantic relationships stem from our attachment systems, a mechanism in our brains that compels us to seek intimacy and closeness with a chosen partner-both physically and emotionally.
