Old Wounds

"Old Wounds" is a thirteen-page non-canon Legends comic written and drawn by Aaron McBride. The comic was created for the 2005 anthology Star Wars: Visionaries, which included stories from concept artists who had worked on the prequel trilogy film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The comic follows the Sith Lord Darth Maul, who has gained metallic legs following his apparent death at the end of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace and seeks revenge on the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. In 16 BBY, Maul tracks him down to the Lars homestead on the planet Tatooine, where Kenobi reveals himself after Maul threatens Owen and Beru Lars, and their nephew Luke Skywalker. Kenobi engages Maul in a duel but hesitates to make the killing move. Owen shoots Maul instead, and Kenobi takes his body away, with Owen instructing him not to return to their farm.

"Old Wounds" references a variety of events and characters from the prequel trilogy, and Maul's survival would later be referenced in several works by author Abel G. Peña. McBride's cyborg design of Maul would later form the basis of the character's appearance in the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which debuted in the 2011 season four episode "Revenge." In canon, Maul and Kenobi would also have a duel on Tatooine during the Imperial Era, ending in Maul's death.
