Last season on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it was revealed that Darth Maul survived being cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi at the end of Phantom Menace. Now, I’m not really keen on this idea. I think the dead should stay dead, especially in Star Wars. We’ve already had the Emperor returned to life (by form of clone inhibition) in at least 2 Star Wars comic books. So, having Darth Maul pop up again really seems to make the Star Wars universe like a comic book or soap opera, where nobody stays dead.
Also, it takes a really cool scene in an otherwise lame movie and diminishes it’s effect.
So, in this issue, we see what happens to Darth Maul after being sliced in half and we learn a little of both Maul and his brother, Opress’s motivations. Sadly, it does little to win me over either as it seems like Opress is more vengeful and Maul is now an opportunist.
It’s really making me wonder in last season’s return of the dark lord has caused Star Wars: The Clone Wars to jump the shark.
Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
