Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir

👆 Whoever wrote these comics, I hope will do other Clone Wars works with Grievous. This display of him is sweet.
And, did you expect anything different from Maul? He thought his little Shadow Collective could surpass the Rule of Two.
There is no reason to make fun of Kenobi. 😐 He lost every female person he knew/loved. I swear they put her in it just for Kenobi to cry.

Also Dooku didn't get mind ****ed he is defying Sidious on his own will (likely just to see who's gonna come out on top).

Read more carefully, Dooku is deceiving Maul. Notice how he releases Grievous without Maul noticing?

That was before he joined Darth Maul, though I do agree it is more then it seems.

Oh I saw that. But I fully believe Dooku is playing both sides.

Also badass grievous moment #3 "Those of you who can still stand return to your master and tell him to send more men" fingers covered in blood...then "ah how convenient" all my lols. All I can need now is him trolling Nute Gunray next issue lol.

In Dooku's defense, he watched Palpatine tell Maul he didn't give a **** if they executed him and Grievous.

Grievous has to fight possessed Dooku next issue now...

I mean the penalty for failure is death among the Sith. Also "10,000 Jedi Knights will try and fall" was a great line.

And lol at Palpatine chastising Windu as though he were his Sith apprentice.

Can anyone else explain to me what the hell Palpatine was thinking saying that about Dooku and Grievous? If they weren't in RotS, Maul might have executed them on the spot. And then what? Palpatine lost his apprentice/ the public view of the Separatist and then it's main tactician and Jedi killer. You can't really replace them.

It was also a bad move considering if Dooku wanted he could just **** Palpatine over with one transmission to the Jedi.

Well, if you remember in TCW, Barriss choked out someone from leaking information despite not even seeing them at all. I can picture Palpatine definitely doing the same if his life and the Sith depended on it. Though, I think Dooku has enough respect (as seen in his final moments in ROTS) to not have such revenge. He would have to face the wrath of all the ancients in the afterlife. 😉

Dooku's turn had to be believable.

I feel sorry for Obi-Wan. Why do he always have to lose a person dear to him? That sucks... -.-

No he needs to die.

If he needs to die he should die in animation seen as it was an animation that resurrected him. Because fact is hardly 1% of the audience who watched the animation are going to be reading this comic book. So to 99% of TCW Viewers Maul is still alive. So when that audience are later wondering about his fate and are just told "oh he was killed in a comic book" that would be terrible.

They made the decision to resurrect the main villain (and highlight) of Episode I in animation form. They should at least respect the character and fans of the animation enough to finalize his fate in further animation.

One of the best things about this reboot is that we can finally have a clean cohesive timeline, without random dark siders and Jedi survivors running around the galaxy during the Imperial era. During the days of the Empire, their is the Emperor and Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Kanan, the Inquisitor, a few other Inquisitors, and possibly Ahsoka and Ventress. We don't need or want anymore.

If Maul is still alive, he'll be locked up or trapped somewhere. Because there's no way Maul is free to havoc without it being noticed in the SW Universe. But the new animation could have a special episode at some point where he's found and his fate is finally sealed. Heck even a recap from someone's memory would be better than just killing him in a comic book.

And in the case of Darth Maul his fate is more important than Ashoka's or Ventress's. Would you like both of them to be killed off in a comic book as well?

No, because that just would just be a major disservice to both characters and to fans of TCW Animation.

It creates a contradiction in the original series. The Force and those who use it is supposed to be obscure enough that Luke would be completely befuddled about the Force and who the Jedi are.

Luke had heard of Jedi and may have been aware they had some kind of special abilities. He just had not of the Force. Whilst Han Solo had heard of the Force but didn't believe in it. Vader's troops were all seeing the Force in action on a regular basis. But still the majority of the Universe should just hear rumors but not actually see the Force in action.

Either way this contradiction will exist with or without Darth Maul showing up for 1 episode given we are getting a whole series based on Jedi Rebel Kanan and Darth Vader's Inquisitor.

Who the hell wouldn't? She was about to kill Dooku from across the Galaxy broseph.

because something like that is totally beyond palpatine's power, amirite?

Palpatine wasn't resurrected.

Palpatine was the Phantom Menace, not Maul.

Palpatine is the main villain of everything ever, bro.

I always interpreted the ''Phantom Menace'' as the Sith as a whole, not Palpatine specifically.

His character description explicitly refers to him as a phantom menace. You'll note that the first and third episode titles in each trilogy refers to he who will influence Anakin the greatest: Palpatine in the prequels and Luke in the originals.

Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, Sidious was in fact Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace.

Yeah but he was a creepy old man. I was talking about the true bad ass of TPM. The one everyone was talking about when they walked out, and the one everyone dressed up as the next Halloween. That wasn't the creepy old man.
