What if Revan Awakened in The Clone Wars and Trained Maul
What if Revan Awakened in The Clone Wars and Trained Maul? Let’s explore the depths of it in the video.
Darth Maul sits shackled to the wall, his body battered and cut up, his face sunken by weeks of torment. His only reprieve now is that the droids in charge of his suffering have left to gather new work tools.
Maul uses the opportunity well. He takes a few deep breaths to try and manage the pain and to let the anger flow through him and strengthen him. The fire churns in his stomach and glows brightly despite the Separatists’ attempts to break him. Outside his cell, the distant hum of machinery and the metallic clank of droids patrolling the halls.
However, this shatters with the sharp crack of blaster fire. Robotic voices cry out amidst the blaster fire, reporting an intruder and calling for backup before the sound of exploding machinery now fills the air. Maul lifts his head, yellow eyes gleaming faintly in the dim light as a single sound remains, metallic feet on the ground.
The door opens and a droid appears, brandishing a blaster. But this is one he doesn’t recognize.
HK-47: Statement: Terminating hostiles. Efficiency levels are satisfactory. Addendum: I do so enjoy the sound of screaming inferior droids, almost as much as I love the screams of meatbags.
He glances over to Maul shackled to the wall and tilts his head.
HK-47: Query: Are you the unfortunate organic referred to as Darth Maul?”
Maul: Who sent you?
HK-47: Statement: My master, naturally. Though, after seeing you in this pathetic state, I question his judgment. Observation: You appear… inferior. However, his orders were quite clear.
He fires at the chains on the wall and Maul drops to his feet. Pushing himself upright, Maul sees the droid hand him his saberstaff.
HK-47: Advisory: You will refrain from dying before I deliver you. My master would find that… irritating. This weapon should prevent that. Now, can you walk?
Maul: I’ll walk.
HK-47: Observation: Admirable. Stubbornness often compensates for weakness among organics.
By the time they escape, several droids are already rushing to reinforce their fallen comrades, firing blaster rounds at them. HK-47 gladly returns fire, cutting through the weaker battle droids while Maul deflects their attack. Even weakened, he manages to use the Force to shove those droids aside and allow the two to hurry to the docking bay.
Despite being only a single droid, HK-47 proves an excellent rescuer, having come packed with explosives, EMP rounds, and an assortment of blasters, allowing them to deal with different types of droids.
They reach the docking bay, where a sleek starship waits. HK-47 gestures toward the ramp.
HK-47: Statement: Welcome aboard. Try not to bleed on the floors. My master has a penchant for cleanliness.”
Maul ascends the ramp and slumps on the passenger seat. HK-47 follows just as the ramp closes behind them and the ship takes off. Once they are safely out of range from the droid defenses, a figure appears from the cockpit. He gestures for his droid to take over as he sits in front of Maul.
The figure’s presence is undeniable, radiating power and calm that makes even Palpatine’s energy seem small. Maul finds himself shrinking back and looking at him cautiously.
He pulls his hood down, revealing a set of blood-red Mandalorian armor. At first, Maul thinks that it is one of his warriors, but the armor seems different and his presence is too imposing.
Maul: Who are you?
Revan: I am Revan, and I have been waiting for you.
The name sends a shiver down Maul’s spine. He has heard of Revan from Jedi, Sith, and Mandalorian alike and while some see him as a hero and others a traitor, one thing they all agree on is he has power beyond anything any living Force user.
Maul: What do you want from me?
Revan: Well, it seems we find ourselves in similar positions. Both of us are without allies and as I have just recently awoken and wish to learn more about the state of the galaxy, I thought it was ideal to speak to you. I can feel the darkness in the galaxy, it grows stronger every day. Some of it is clinging to you. It’s not your own, not all of it at least.
Maul: My master.
Revan: Ahh. And answer me this one thing. Is your master responsible for…all of this?
Maul: He is.
Revan: Alright then. It seems like he is my enemy then. I left this galaxy in peace and I am not about to let it fall into darkness again. However, as I said I need allies. Perhaps you could be useful. Together, we can destroy your master and the empire he seeks to build.”
Maul glares at him, uncertain how to take all of this. A part of him can hardly believe what he’s hearing. But there is a glimmer of hope as Revan holds out his hand. After a long moment, he takes it and Revan helps him to his feet.
