At least we can rest easy knowing that concept art was eventually repurposed for the Nightsisters, and there's no way anyone could ever sexualize a tribe of leather-clad magical goth lesbian amazons with spiky chain whips.

(also, imagine saying "maul is the hottest non-human" as if Kit Fisto doesn't even exist)

Ok, but all they did is paint a hot guy like The Crow, give him a badass lightsaber, and put horns on his head. If they'd cast Gary Busey as Maul it would be a different story. A much more horrifying story.
Fun fact: he's sometimes named Toadimus Toadster or something equally ridiculous, but at the time of that movie, his real name was Mortimer Toynbee, which is how I picked this username. Most people who have any guesses at all think it's from the toynbee tiles, which are cool but which I hadn't heard of (and maybe weren't a thing) when picking this name.
The vast majority of human conceptions are accidental. Stands to reason that the higher the rate of such "accidents", the more likely a group of data was to reflect a, shall we say, historical tendency? Exploited for generations, no doubt; the fact remains: it tracks.

I mean, look at Ventress. She went from "I can fix her" villain to being relatively well-adjusted (for a star wars character)

That concept art looks like a back-up singer for Korn.

Wasn't he (edit: Darth Maul) the same guy who played The Toad?

I've always thought that the Maul we got was cartoonishly evil looking.
