9500 Sith Fury Class Interceptor: who is Darth Malgus?

The other little-known character from the next wave of Star Wars sets is Darth Malgus. This Sith Lord confronts Satele Shan on Aldeeran in the trailer Hope Game Star Wars The Old Republic will be delivered in the set 9500 Sith Fury Class Interceptor. 

Darth Malgus also makes his show in the very first and extremely excellent trailer for SWTOR: Disappointed. In this first trailer, he was not yet identified by name. He is also present in the third trailer of the game: Return.

Physically, we immediately think of Darth Vader and this is probably no coincidence. This video game character also seen in the paper comic Star Wars The Old Republic: Deceived, should gain momentum in the extended universe thanks to a certain charisma. He is everything a fan expects from a Sith Lord.

On the background side, it's complicated as usual with Star Wars ... Darth Malgus, formerly known as Veradun and whose wife, Eleena Daru, was a former Twi'lek slave, distinguished herself during the sack the Jedi Temple on Coruscant by killing Jedi Ven Zallow. Passed through the Sith Military Academy on his home planet Dromund Kaas, Darth Malgus also participated in the recapture of the planet Korriban. That's about it, from what we know about the character.

On the minifigure side, we can expect a nice silkscreen print on the face if LEGO retains the character seen in Disappointed. In the other two trailers they got rid of their mask / respirator / voice transformer, etc ... A dark outfit, a cape, a lightsaber and voila ....

The and 9500 Sith Fury Class Interceptor, despite belonging to the extended universe, should appeal to fans and collectors. The Sith hunter and Darth Malgus obviously remind us of Darth Vader and his Tie Advanced Starfighter. An emblematic villain, a beautiful vessel which respects the spirit of the machines of the saga and here is a set which should be a hit in 2012 ...
