What do you get when you cross the Star Wars characters Darth Maul and R2 D2? Uh... Darth D2? It is perhaps not the best designed R2 unit papercraft around, but the idea behind it is pretty amusing nonetheless. Kim Lang, who designed this Sith droid in 2009 also designed a normal R2D2 papercraft to be its companion. Both templates may be found here on Lang's website, 365characters.net. Lang's goal in starting 365characters was to create one fictional character or creature every day for a year. The project is scheduled to be completed in May 2010.

Artist Randy Martinez has re-envisioned the masks of four Star Wars villains as if they were Mexican wrestlers. These fanciful Lucha Libre masks include General Grievous, Darth Vader, Darth Maul and Boba Fett. Each one of these printable masks is available here at the kids section of starwars.com.

Illustration student Richard Sullivan was given an assignment at school to create a custom Cubee using a known character and this Darth Maul was the result. Why didn't I have these kind of assignments in school? ^^ The final template is three pages and includes two different Maul heads, two capes, a double light saber, and a Sith Speeder. The pages of the template are available at Richard's DeviantART page here, here and here.

DeviantART user "Cyberdrone" has taken the free blank Cubeecraft template and created a collection of 30 custom Star Wars papercraft toys. As far as I know, each of these is an original creation which has not been posted in the official Cubeecraft gallery. Some of the other characters available but not pictured above include Count Dooku, Ashoka Tano, Kit Fisto, IG-88, Jango Fett, Mace Windu, Darth Nihilus, a Jawa, and a gonk droid. Templates for these and many more can be found here.

When I did my first pizza paper toy I really hadn't planned on doing any other ones, but shortly after I finished my first design I came across another unusual pizza I just had to do. Could it be the beginnings of a pizza papertoy series? Time will tell. ;)

In the US in 1999 just before Star Wars: Episode 1 was released, Pizza Hut participated in a massive advertising campaign to promote the movie. Part of the campaign involved pizza boxes that featured nine different characters from Episode 1. One of the characters on the large size pizza boxes was none other than Darth Maul. This papertoy is a miniature replica of that box. The first pizza papertoy had a supreme pizza. This one has a pepperoni pizza. The template info is as follows:
