Savage Opress is still on the quest for his long - lost brother , Darth Maul , he was sent on by Mother Talzin , but with each day he becomes stronger and more uncontrollable . As a result , Count Dooku informs General Grievous of Opress ' growing power , while Asajj Ventress and Anakin Skywalker also sense something is amiss , concerning both of their respective companions , Latts Razzi and Ahsoka Tano . Meanwhile , while Opress is on the run from authorities after an altercation at a local diner on Stobar , he finds faint clues about Maul ' s whereabouts in the dust clinging to an assortment of cargo crates and , after tracing their origin back to a freighter which had recently visited Lotho Minor , he forces the captain to take him there . Skywalker , meanwhile , visited the same diner shortly after the altercation , resulting in a standoff where the diner ' s owner , Loubo , tried to defend the diner with a frying pan before the misunderstanding was cleared up . Once they have arrived and Opress has pinpointed Maul ' s location in the local junk lands , he callously ditches the captain for flying past the location where Opress ' s pendant glowed , and proceeds to search for his brother . The amulet Mother Talzin has given him to track Maul soon fails , but a resident Anacondan named Morley offers his guidance . Dodging the place ' s indigenous hazards – Refuse incinerator droid s , a band of hostile Junker s and a deluge of acid rain – they arrive at a lodge where Opress ' amulet flares back to life , indicating that Maul is nearby . But at this very moment Morley betrays Opress , plunging him down a chute into the junk land ’ s underworld where his " master " would deal with Opress . Down in the tunnels beneath the junk , Opress is stalked and attacked by a spider - like creature who is eventually revealed to be an emaciated and deranged Maul , transformed into a centauroid half - spider cyborg . Morley takes this inopportune moment to reappear , asking for " leftovers " , and under Opress ' tight grip reveals that while he did exploit Maul for his own gain , it was not him who had turned him into a cyborg or left him in his current insane state , before he is choked to death . When Opress talks to him , Maul tells him in between his mad ravings about how he was reduced to this pitiful state and that he seeks revenge on the Jedi , especially the one who did this to him . However , Opress ' quest , and the menace it presents , has not gone unnoticed by the strongest Force wielders in the galaxy , and Yoda has no choice but to reveal to Obi - Wan Kenobi that an old enemy has come back from the dead to haunt him once more .
