Original generated cover art — not a reproduction of any published cover
Four issues adapted from unproduced Clone Wars scripts, covering Maul’s war with Darth Sidious — and the only Dark Horse Star Wars comic that Lucasfilm placed in the current canon.
Four issues from May to August 2014, written by Jeremy Barlow from unproduced Clone Wars story material developed with George Lucas, with art by Juan Frigeri and covers by Chris Scalf. Because those scripts were Lucas-approved show material, Lucasfilm treats the miniseries as canon — the only Dark Horse Star Wars comic in that position, and it is catalogued as Legends material as well.
This run is in the catalogue but has not been written up. Everything above is verified publication data; there is no opinion here yet, and a placeholder review would be worse than none.
The arc breakdown and issue list below are the useful part for now.
