This is a very important episode, that many will have overlooked. It’s a canon story, intended as a Clone Wars episode, but released as a comic instead after the Clone Wars got originally cancelled.
It is a vital and exciting step in the Mauldalore plotline, taking us from Maul’s capture to his location in the series finale, as we learn why Sidious chose to spare Maul, and we see the conclusion of Mother Talzin’s presence in the Clone Wars. Plus there’s Mandalorians, jetpacks, and lots of villain-on-villain action. It’s great.
Audio Comics and The Lore Master on Youtube have adapted the material from its original comic format into what they call an ‘Audio Comic’, turning it into fully voice acted visual story, dynamically showing the panels from the comic and including Star Wars sound effects and music, to give us the most accessible and enjoyable version of this canon story. They do this for almost every Star Wars comic out there, and it’s incredible work.
Though it’s a non-commercial fan release, I did ask for permission to include it in my edit, though they didn’t reply. This is fairly moot, however, because I’ve been unable to access the file in my editing software, so have been unable to give it the usual TCW:R trappings. Since the episode is freely available online, I’ve decided to skip trying to fix that right now, and instead chosen to focus on the next episodes. I’ll see what I can do about this sometime in the future.
Onwards to our season four finale, Yoda’s Quest!
