With Star Wars Celebration announcing that Darth Talon was going to be back in the Maul show, I wanted to have a go at redesigning her! Whilst her original is over-sexualised it's still iconic so I wanted to try to make it less ridiculous whislt still being recognisable! I took inspiration from her original design, concept art and leaked stuff from celebration! Xxxxxxx

With Maul: Shadow Lord set to debut next year, there’s so much story to tell, especially if they make this a multi season show, similar to Bad Batch, either three or perhaps four seasons. Because they need to tell how Maul got the galaxy's crime families and syndicates back under his control as well as ruling Crimson Dawn from the shadows through both Dryden Vos and for a time, Qi'ra. Showing how the Empire deploys Inquisitors after Maul, only for them to fall by his blade, earning him the nickname "The Shadow." But most importantly showing how Maul ended up being stranded on Malachor during the events of Rebels. Was he betrayed? Did he leave his Crimson Dawn syndicate to fend for itself? Or was his infatuation with revenge so great that he forsook those under his command so that he could attempt to activate the super weapon on Malachor?

Questions that I hope are answered in this show as well as other bits of content that are fleshed out. Here's what I want to see personally though.

Regaining control of the Galactic Underworld:

Remember, after Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir Issue 4, Black Sun and the Pyke Syndicate withdraw from Maul's Shadow Collective because the Separatist droid armies are attacking them simultaneously while Maul himself, alongside Mother Talzin fight Darth Sidious, Count Dooku, and General Grievous on Dathomir.

Then, during the events of Crimson Climb, by E.K. Johnston, which is focusing on Qi'ra's story, she, Dryden Vos and his enforcers attend a party where representatives of the Hutts, Pykes, Black Sun, and other crime syndicates are mingling. During this party, there's an attempted coup that takes place and one of these rebellious Black Sun criminals mentions the following to Dryden Vos "he keeps us under his boot, and you know it. Once we were great, all of us! And now we wait for instructions like academy cadets. Black Sun will be independent again!" Emphasis on "he," meaning Maul, who is in the shadows, playing the role of Sidious in this sense while he has figureheads like Dryden Vos to be the face of Crimson Dawn, when Maul is the one calling the shots.

The only reason Maul united these crime families together during the Clone Wars was to challenge Darth Sidious and exact revenge against his former master with the aid of Mother Talzin, this was revealed in the Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir comics. But now, with Maul: Shadow Lord starting a year after the Clone Wars, I'm curious how Maul is not only going to get these criminals back under his thumb, but also how he'll extort their resources to help him fund his operations in his futile quest for revenge against Sidious.

Rook Kast and Mandalorian enforcers:

So, if you caught the leaked trailer for Maul: Shadow Lord when it dropped, Rook Kast, one of Maul's top Mandalorian lieutenants, next to Gar Saxon, not only seems to have survived the Siege of Mandalore, but will be acting as Maul's personal enforcer for the first season of this new show. It’s unclear whether Rook was captured during the Siege of Mandalore, because I’d say a majority of, if not ALL of Maul's remaining Mandalorian Super Commandos, those who didn’t die, were captured. Gar Saxon among them, who Maul betrayed, and would then become Imperial Viceroy of Mandalore.

But clearly, Rook Kast and perhaps a small number of remaining Mandalorian Super Commandos still loyal to Maul either escaped the siege or escaped Republic/Imperial custody when Order 66 was given to find their Dathomiri master. Maybe Rook Kast was piloting the Kom'rk that would've picked up Maul in Sundari's rafters, but if that was her, she'd have a small crew of Mandalorian Super Commandos accompanying her. A Kom'rk-class fighter/transport could hold up to 24 Mandalorian commandos in its troop drop bay. So that may not be too much, but it's certainly enough for Maul to use these commandos as his personal grim reapers to get the crime syndicates back under his control.

Rook really is Maul's ride or die, has been the moment he won the Darksaber from Pre Vizsla, so it'll be interesting to see where her story takes her in this show. Will she die in devotion to Maul? Will survive and become the Armorer we see in the Mandalorian? Or will she drift into the void of space? We'll see. Hopefully, Rook and the Mandalorians still working alongside Maul will have a huge impact, since they’re some of Maul's last true allies in the galaxy. Also, it’s unclear whether they even know Maul BETRAYED Gar Saxon during the Siege of Mandalore, because Rook is shown briefly fighting Bo-Katan, and that’s the last we see her, so I hope this show reveals if Rook and the Mandalorians accompanying her knew Maul betrayed Saxon and the rest of their forces or not. Hopefully this is revealed. But I’m excited to see more of Rook Kast and Mandalorian Super Commandos causing chaos in the name of Maul!

Post traumatic stress:

Of course, Maul has to be experiencing A LOT of ptsd, especially now that he's living in a galaxy where his former master wants him dead, still coming to terms that Savage Opress and Mother Talzin were killed right before his eyes, and stuck in this cycle of trying to exact his revenge, only to fail again and again. This is a guy that didn't choose evil, but he was brought into the cold embrace of it and was nothing but an instrument of evil until he was no longer deemed useful and then watched as his former master take away the only two people he seemed to love and tear down his criminal empire.

I hope we see flashbacks of these scenes, or even nightmares. Maul is a tortured being, and these two losses will have undoubtedly weighed heavily on his heart and mind. Yes, he has allies, but not like Savage and Talzin, they were his FAMILY, and Sidious took them from him, just like he took away his Shadow Collective.

This is perhaps one of the many reasons to sympathize with Maul, because no matter what he does and how much achieves, he's destined to fail.

Boogeyman of the Inquisitorious & possible fight with Darth Vader:

So, thanks to Rebels, Maul has been nicknamed "The Shadow" and with it confirmed that the Inquisitor Marrok will be in this show, whether Maul kills him or not is yet to be seen, but I just love the idea of Maul being a boogeyman among the Imperial Inquisitors, because they are an absolute JOKE against someone like Maul. We know he kills multiple Inquisitors in Rebels and an Inquisitor to forge his new lightsaber around the events of Solo, whether the pieces that were acquired to forge his new lightsaber are from Marrok are yet to be seen.

Against Darth Vader, however, Maul would not survive such an encounter. In Rebels, Twilight of the Apprentice part I, Maul says "I cannot defeat Vader alone," that implies he fought him in the past and barely survived the encounter. Where he fought him alongside his new apprentice in this show who may or may not be Darth Talon, is yet to be determined. But if we get Maul vs Darth Vader in this show, this will be a sight to BEHOLD!

Training Twi'lek female who might be Talon and Qi'ra:

This show is heavily inspired by George Lucas' sequel trilogy idea where Maul is essentially the godfather of all crime and he trains a new apprentice that would've been Darth Talon and essentially the new Darth Vader. However, during this show, this new apprentice of Maul's whether she's Talon or not, will play a big role, and it would be incredibly stupid to kill her off so soon, she better stick around long enough for us to learn whether she's former Jedi or such someone with Force sensitivity and was never trained. And like I said earlier, if we see Maul vs Darth Vader, this new apprentice has to play a role in that fight, whether she’s dies is yet to be seen, hopefully not.

If this show has multiple seasons, hopefully we'll see Maul eventually taking Qi'ra under his wing too, as he summons her to Dathomir after Solo. It's unclear if she betrays him and leaves him stranded on Malachor or not, but this is one of those questions I hope we get an answer to, because it would make sense why Maul is alone during Rebels. The image here is from the Crimson Reign issue 1 comic, Maul clearly had a plan to exact revenge against Sidious, but of course, he died on Tatooine by Obi-Wan to see this plan come to fruition himself, so hopefully we'll get better insight of Maul's ultimate endgame to exact revenge against his former master in this new show.

Anyway, I'm rambling at this point. Nonetheless, I cannot wait for Maul: Shadow Lord to come out!
