Darth Maul - New Extreme Willpower Feat in Canon

Maul feels the pain of a thousand lightsaber wounds and the suffering of a thousand Sith.

Context?

Also the comic seems to confirm that Palpatine's appearance in the PT was a mask, given he looks shriveled and old here and it's set well before 32 BBY.

So is it a Force vision, or is Sidious putting this into his head to manipulate him?

Also, not sure if it is to be taken literally. "...the burn of a thousand cuts... the deaths of a thousand Sith..." seems like a figure of speech or hyperbole.

I think it's similiar to how Revan relived the genocide of Cathar when touching the Mandalorian mask.

I imagine Palpatine is involved in it though. He might have initiated a Sith ritual with the ashes as the base.

Yeah, notice him waving his hands and smiling as Maul experiences the vision. Sidious definitely had something to do with it.

Feat aside I'm very much looking forward to learning more about this Sith Empire.

The comic shows Jedi striking down Maul over and over. It seems literal.

Literal in the sense that he experienced the pain of multiple Sith, but "the burn of a thousand cuts" seems more like a figure of speech than him literally receiving exactly a thousand cuts - no more, no less.

Given how I imagine Palpatine was conducting it, a literal number isn't that big of a stretch.

Regardless, Maul literally feeling the pain of roughly a thousand lightsaber wounds seems to be what's going on.

Eh, maybe. It's a good feat regardless.

This series also shows Maul was lying to him and pushing his own agenda behind Palpatine. He was always his own man and he stewed for battling the Jedi.

Maybe we will get a new imagining of Darth Bane, this time done by someone more competent than Drew. That would be awesome.

If they do a Canon Bane novel, I imagine they'd get Drew to do it.

Not sure if he'd agree, tbh.

He'd do anything for money.
