Savage Opress is a Star Wars: The Clone Wars Minifigure that is scheduled for release in June 2011. Savage Opress (also along with the newer Darth Maul,) will have a new head mould with small "horns" on his head, unlike the printed horns on previous Darth Maul minifigures.

Background

Savage Opress was an apprentice of Count Dooku, after Darth Sidious considered Asajj Ventress too powerful to be trusted. Created to be a great warrior, Savage was altered by the Nightsisters following a plan by Ventress to exact revenge on Count Dooku. He was a Nightbrother and the brother of Feral and Darth Maul. Like his brothers, he was a Zabrak. In the television series, after Asajj Ventress chose him to kill Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku), he was mutated into a ferocious monster. As a test to see his reliability, Svage was then ordered to kill Feral, and did so with only a moment's hesitation. Shortly after he was given an enchanted blade by the Nightsisters to use as a weapon. As part of the plan, he was sent to Dooku's home planet and was then donated to Tyranus as a new apprentice, under the guise of being a complimentary gift from Mother Talzin, the leader of the Nightsisters.

In reality, Opress was implanted as a sleeper agent with the intention of killing Tyranus, a vehicle for Ventress' desire for vengeance. Mentally conditioned to obey Ventress, to the point of mindlessly killing his own brother Feral at her command, Opress nevertheless became an ally to Tyranus, singlehandedly killing two Jedi and a squadron of clone troopers on Devaron. Following several sessions of brutal Sith training, Opress was deployed on a botched mission to abduct King Katuunko of Toydaria, which ended in his accidental murder. When the time came for Ventress to carry out her plot to kill Tyranus, Opress' hatred for both of his masters broke his brainwashing and allowed him to act independently.

A subsequent battle with Tyranus, Ventress and the Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the latter being the man who had killed Darth Maul on Naboo, left Opress wounded. Limping off to Dathomir, Opress turned to Mother Talzin for help. She claimed to Opress that he had a brother who was in exile in the Outer Rim. Talzin offered Opress a talisman that would lead him to his brother, Darth Maul, who was supposedly killed by Ob-Wan at the Battle of Naboo, but survived, and so Opress embarked on a personal journey to confirm that his brother was alive and to receive his help in destroying both Dooku and Ventress.
