Maul —Shadow Lord is giving us a new look at the antihero formerly known as Darth Maul. Stripped of the Darth title, he’s now just a humble crime lord trying to build an empire and possibly bring an apprentice, young Devon Izara, to the Dark Side. But if he’s not the villain of this show, then who is?
The answer, as it often is, is the Empire. Brander Lawson is trying to track down Maul without getting the Empire involved, but nevertheless, the powers that be have sent the Inquisitors to track down Maul and the two Jedi who were hiding out on Janix. It’s a common move for the Empire, but this time it’s a little different. This time, these lower-tier villains seem a lot more foreboding than before.
