Clone Warsonce again proves that it’s the ideal venue for Darth Maul

One of the things that Clone Wars does especially well is to break characters who were ill developed in the prequel trilogy . And , after a lackluster performance in the time of year opener , Darth Maul has become an exciting character to watch as he and Savage continue their renegade Sith human action . Last episode , Maul and his fresh Death Watch ally rifle on a fling through the galactic underworld , forcing every crime syndicate to join their new Shadow Collective . This week , things slow up down just slenderly as they enact the next stage of their design : take over Mandalore .

We open on the multispecies Shadow Collective as Maul and Death Watch loss leader Pre Vizsla talk over their plan to usurp the Mandalorian Duchess Satine and instal Vizsla in her place . It ’s a skillful , uncomplicated architectural plan : Maul ’s newfangled criminal friend will assail various targets in the system , sewing chaos and give away the pacifist Satine ’s weakness . Then Death Watch will swoop up in to arrest Maul and company , win the will of the masses .

And it goes off without a hitch . There ’s something really skillful about the public confrontations between Vizsla and Satine . Yes , Vizsla ’s plot is underhand , but he ’s no fool when it make out to discreetness . He approaches Satine as an intellectual equal , sedately telling her that her philosophy has failed and that he will turn up that the old warrior way are respectable for Mandalore ’s security . For the rice beer of brevity , the Mandalorian public is depict as mercurial , ready to through their lot behind Death Watch from the moment they come along on the tantrum . But I do care we had a luck to see lifespan from the perspective of Mandalore ’s civilian stratum . Do old warrior housing become voguish when the tide of popularity turns toward Death Watch ? Do people enroll in education classes ? Are there lively debates between Satine ’s stalwart and the Death Watch jock , and do they stop in slugfest ?

Once last Watch fake taking into custody Maul , Savage , and their friend , Vizsla quickly deposes Satine , enshroud her away in a jail cell ( much to the amusement of Satine ’s own prisoner , former Prime Minister Almec , whom Satine imprisoned for putrescence ) . He tells the masses that Satine has fly and installs himself as Prime Minister . Of naturally , now that Vizsla has what he wants , he no longer necessitate the Shadow Collective , and imprisons Maul and party for literal .

And of course , Maul outflank Vizsla . To his credit , Vizsla is the graceful warrior to the end , let loose the words , “ Only the hard shall reign , ” before Maul decollate him with his own sword . ( Incidentally , we ’re having a very beheading - punishing arc . ) With that , Bo - Katan is now the central figure of Death Watch , which is what we ’ve been waiting for . Pre Vizsla ’s reliable believer schtick is great and feels veritable , but he lack Bo - Katan ’s fire . And jailor honor , Bo - Katan rounds up her own band of stalwart and battles her manner out of the throne way , leaving Maul and Almec to reign over Madalore , at least for the time being . Today Mandalore , tomorrow the galaxy ? We ’ll have to wait and see what ’s next for Maul , but things wo n’t be any easy for him with the bristled Bo - Katan ready to jab his side .
