Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The Clone Wars will return, did you hear?
(Of course you heard.) In addition to “The Siege of Mandalore,” we’re also seeing 1313 and Maul (mo-capped by Ray Park and with Solo design inspirations.)
Here’s the panel:
And here’s just the trailer:
StarWars.com has a first look at 30 of the official store’s sure-to-be-many-more-than-that exclusives, with the highlight being a $30 Darth Maul plush that comes with three interchangable legs, because why wouldn’t he? There’s also plush convorees, lothwolves, and gorgs that are also puppets, plus the expected variety of t-shirts and other wearables.
But my other pick is this Death Star “succulent planter,” because it’s just so very random.
Lucasfilm releases our first official photos of Solo’s Maul, and Ray Park talks about returning to his most famous role (and dropping hints on Instagram), in Forbes.

Marvel’s next Star Wars miniseries to feature Darth Maul. Written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Luke Ross, it will be set before The Phantom Menace.
The third season of Rebels continues with Saturday’s ‘The Holocrons of Fate,’ featuring Darth Maul, a hostage situation, and some sort of ancient artifact.
I’m sure that’ll go well!
The episode airs on Disney XD Saturday, October 1, at 8:30 p.m., ET/PT.
Rebels wraps up their second season tonight – and deals with some old Clone Wars business – with tonight’s one-hour ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’. IGN has an interview with Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg and Ashley Eckstein where they address the return (again) of Darth Maul, Darth Vader and Ahsoka. Eckstein also chats on StarWars.com.
Fans who don’t want to be spoiled on Twitter should probably mute the hashtag #StarWarsRebels.
Rebels begins at 9:00 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on Disney XD. And yes, there will be a season three, probably beginning in the fall.
The second season of Rebels wraps up next Wednesday with the one-hour ‘Twilight of the Apprentice,’ bringing Darth Maul in, Darth Vader back, and all sorts of dark side shenanigans.

Comic review: Legacy #18 wraps up the conflict between the Imperial Knights and the Sith and Darth Wredd, with Ania Solo and her friends caught up in the middle. Jawajames gives it a big thumbs-up for staying true to the characters and giving us a big epic Star Wars battle.
And if you missed it last week, Jawajames also reviewed Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir #4, the finale of this storyline — this would have been a fantastic episode arc of The Clone Wars, and it’s great to see it in comic form.
