After 27 Years, Star Wars Finally Shows How Palpatine Trained Darth Maul

In episodes 7 and 8 of Shadow Lord, Maul and his crew are unexpectedly attacked by the Empire, putting him in a dangerous situation. He’s forced to fight two Inquisitors, Marrok and the one known as “Crow,” and nearly loses the battle. Though he manages to escape into some caves, Maul is wounded and confused, and begins to experience disturbing mental flashbacks. As he struggles to find his way out of a sandy tunnel, the lingering effects of his near-death experience in The Phantom Menace intensify, causing painful memories and fears about his former master to reappear as vivid, sand-filled visions.
