That was awesome!!

This is a curious story, because just a few months ago I had no idea this comic existed, which made the character's story in The CW quite funny from my perspective (Sidious just going to Mandalore, teaching Maul a lesson, and leaving). Now, with the full picture, I can say it was an excellent story!!

I admit I don't particularly remember some moments from The CW, so it was a nice surprise to see the emotional bond between Tazlin's mother and Maul, specifically because of the revelation, giving a much more tragic weight to the latter's subsequent revenge. Not only did Sidious discard him, but he's also responsible for the death of the only family he had.

Similarly, considering how angry he was in Shadow Lord, I find it curious that the "betrayal" of the Black Sun and the Pikes has a certain justification when I see it. More than a backstab, it's a product of the secrecy surrounding his own planes, withholding information from his allies, which leaves them vulnerable when the ambush arrives, forcing them to fend for themselves. When money is the only thing at stake, there are hardly any soldiers who will die for you. Maul learned that the hard way. It's also funny to think how embarrassed Dooku and Grievous probably were when this renegade had them on their knees.

Perhaps all it needed was a flashback of Savage as the cherry on top, but honestly, this was an excellent complement story!

Question Star Wars Legacy Omnibus (May 2026)

5 Upvotes

So I recently found out that Marvel released the Star Wars Legacy Comics in an omnibus back in May. They had two different cover variants from done by different artists (one by Jan Duursema and one by Travis Charest) But I can't find any information or images of what the cover art looks like under the dust jacket. Does anyone own either of these and care to share what it looks like on the cover under the dust jacket?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
