​

Darth Maul, with replacement bionic legs attached to his upper torso, seeks out the Lars homestead to find and avenge himself upon Obi-Wan Kenobi. Upon his arrival he is met by Owen Lars, whom he swiftly disarms. Obi-Wan surprises his hunter by leaping from underneath the sand. Former Jedi and former Sith fight it out, and during the fight Maul loses an arm, and after that the duel continues

until Kenobi catches Maul offguard, his deactivated lightsaber positioned beside his defenseless opponent's head. Kenobi is then assailed by the memories of losses he has suffered in the past and

is thus tempted by the dark side to ignite his weapon and, in vengeance, kill the Zabrak instantly. Before he can act upon (or perhaps even make) a fateful choice, Lars shoots Maul in the head with his recovered blaster rifle. Kenobi says he will take the corpse and burn it in the Dune Sea. Owen, thinking of the safety of his

ward, young Luke Skywalker, tells Kenobi never again to return to

the Lars homestead, fearing his presence might attract further unwanted attention.
