A new Star Wars release, 'Maul: Shadow Lord', appears to be addressing a long-standing issue with the franchise's Sith villains. The release is said to be fixing a mistake made by George Lucas, with some outlets specifying that it relates to the character Darth Maul. The exact nature and timing of the mistake vary across reports, but it is described as a significant error that has been acknowledged and rectified after a number of years.
