Ok as a YouTuber I wish to make a animation that features darth maul and Vader am I allowed to use the original design or do I have to majorly alter
<p>Am I able to use the original maul design can I minorly alter it or do I have to majorly change his design</p>

<p>Copyright includes the exclusive right to create derivative works. So &quot;majorly changing&quot; the design will not get you around any accusations of copyright infringement. What you would have to do is to create a design from scratch.</p>
<p>And as Trish said, I don't know who owns the originals, but if it is Disney, they <em>will</em> sue you and it will cost you much more money than you can afford. Whether they win their case or not.</p>
