     After learning a young Jedi Padawan named Eldra Kaitis has fallen into the hands of a crime lord, Maul seizes an opportunity to test his skills against a real Jedi but also maybe turn someone else to the dark side.

       Bunn is melding versions of the Maul audiences have seen into one, from the attack-dog mentality of the character played by Ray Park in Phantom Menace— before he was sliced in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber and fell down a shaft to his apparent doom — to the cunning Maul seen in The Clone Warsand Rebels animated series.

        Bunn took a lot of inspiration from the big Maul fight scene in Phantom Menace, where Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and his Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) almost meditatively wait for their encounter while Maul paces.
