Original lineart under the cut

Working on some Maul content again because I need to!

EXCUSE ME MAUL??? NOT YOUR JUYO-LOVIN' ASS USING MOTHERFUCKING OBI-WAN'S BELOVED SORESU TO PROTECT THIS KID

Devon inheriting the remaining original half of Maul's lightsaber is one of the best bits of lightsaber symbolism we've had in years, to wit:

Devon, finally reaching her breaking point, giving fully into rage and immediately being disarmed of her Jedi lightsaber by her Imperial opponent, offered a Sith lightsaber to replace it with. Not pushed into her hands, but left for her to summon herself—because however few options she has left, however much the forces around her have stripped them away from her, it is ultimately her choice to go down that path.

Maul making a calculated sacrifice, offering up a part of himself—earlier in the season he left the rebuilt half out for her to take temporarily, a wary showing of his hand; now he's giving her the remaining half of his original blade for good. In practical terms because its shorter length makes it more suited to her now than him, but also because in turning her this way he is inherently making himself vulnerable with her in a way he is not prepared for.

Devon and Maul, sharing what was once two halves of the same blade, adapting to their losses by becoming codependent on each other, trying imperfectly to fill the voids left behind.

Devon, the padawan who fell from the TPM Obi-Wan scenario, claiming the mantle of Darth Maul and adopting the blade that killed Qui-Gon Jinn as her own. The Jedi has inherited the JediKiller3000, and the cycle continues.

i mean they have a lot to bond over!
