Platinum Star Wars Darth Maul Fountain Pen
The Platinum Star Wars fountain pen collection was released in 2019 to coincide with the final chapter in the third trilogy of Star Wars films. The Platinum Star Wars Darth Maul is a limited edition fountain pen designed in collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, with only 500 units produced exclusively for the Japanese market. Inspired by one of the most fearsome villains in the Star Wars universe, this pen captures the intensity, darkness, and raw power of the Sith.
Its glossy black resin body is decorated with bold red patterns that evoke Darth Maul’s iconic facial and body tattoos. These high-contrast graphics wrap around the barrel and cap, delivering a visually striking and aggressive design that mirrors the character’s presence.
Design and Concept
The central ring on the cap is engraved with the STAR WARS logo and seamlessly integrated into the gunmetal-tone hardware. All metal accents, including the clip, feature a dark ruthenium finish that enhances the pen’s powerful and stealthy look.
The 14K gold nib, coated in ruthenium, is laser-engraved with the Galactic Empire emblem and the words “GALACTIC EMPIRE.” Only available in Fine (F) nib size, it combines reliable performance with unmistakable visual identity.
Functionality and Filling System
Equipped with Platinum’s patented Slip & Seal mechanism, this pen prevents ink from drying out even after months of disuse. It supports both Platinum ink cartridges and bottled inks via the included converter, ensuring effortless, smooth writing from the first stroke.
Box Contents
This edition includes a Platinum converter, a complimentary Inktraveler ink bottle, a blotter card featuring Darth Maul’s face, and a special presentation box decorated with the official Star Wars logo. (Images are for reference only; actual product may vary slightly).
