I don't read comics and will likely never open this set when I get my mitts on it, but can someone give me a quick rundown of how/why Maul got robotic legs and decided to "battle" Owen (I get the Luke thing - I guess)? Also - what's up with his lightsaber and unshaven horns?
Well, the story had Darth Maul surviving his little pitfall. If you recall from TPM, Maul lost his lower half. So like Lt. Dan, he got some new legs. If I recall this portion of the story, Maul attacks Luke to lure Obi-Wan out of hiding and exact revenge. Well, Owen doesn't like strangers (Maul) on his farm, so he attempts to blast him away. It didn't go too well for Owen, whose gun was cut to bits.
As for the long horns... if you had nothing below the waistline, would you really bother any longer? I know for me that I'd really let myself go... sweatpants, never leaving the couch, no showering, shaving, or brushing my teeth...
