Warning : Contains plunderer for Star Wars : Darth Maul - Black , White & Red # 1!Palpatinehas had a throttlehold on theStar Warsfranchise throughout every era depicted in film and goggle box , as he ’s the overarching scoundrel of the master copy , prequels , continuation , and many series . However , Star Warsjust introduce a novel scoundrel with the potential to allow the dealership to move beyond Palpatine , as they are a terrifying evil beyond the Force itself that claims the ' light and dark are the same ' .
InStar Wars : Darth Maul - Black , White & Red#1 by Benjamin Percy and Stefano Raffaele , readers are introduced to the aforementioned villain adequate to of upending the entireStar Warsuniverse : the Final Occultation . Before the events ofThe Phantom Menace , Darth Sidious sendsDarth Maul on a deputation to intercept a captive - transport vessel carrying the three cult leadership of the Final Occultation , and what Maul finds when he faces them is beyond even his most twisted incubus .
The Final Occultation does n’t worship the Inner Light or the dour side of the Forcelike other rage found inStar Wars , but rather an energy that be in an entirely unlike dimension . The attribute is fuck as the Netherworld , and the energy come from what the cultist call the Void , which pass off gross , concentrated chaos . In every way that matters , the Final Occultation wields the Anti - Force , as their ‘ chaos ’ is the equal opposite of the Force ’s ‘ fiat ’ . That ’s why , to them , ' lite and dark are the same ' , as the Force is just the Force to one who wield the Anti - Force .
Many Star Wars fans believe Palpatine the ultimate Sith Lord , but his latest appearance calls into question if he ’s even a proper Sith Lord at all .
The Final Occultation Gives Star Wars a Chance To Go Beyond the Dark Side of the Force
While Palpatine was , indeed , a professional of the dark side and a muscular Sith Lord , the Final Occultation would still technically consider him to be on the same side as any light - side wielder , let in the Jedi . The Anti - Force cultists do n’t see ‘ light side ’ and ‘ dark side ’ , they see ‘ order ’ and ‘ chaos ’ . The Force is ‘ order ’ ( whether that be light or dark ) , and the Anti - Force is ‘ pandemonium ’ .
Any Star Wars fan can attest to the fact that Palpatine was a stickler for society in the wandflower , even if his version of order could more accurately be describe as control . Palpatine wanted to rule a wandflower that feared and hated him , as their hatred give him strength . But , the Emperor also wanted to ensure the safety and successfulness of his Empire . As he once say to Darth Vader , “ I do not wish to reign over a galaxy of the stagnant ” .
Obviously , Palpatine had no problem root out the coltsfoot to protrude anew in the Star Wars sequels , but after his seek ‘ nifty purge ’ , he would have rebuilt his Empire strong than it was before . In perfume , while he was an agentive role of the dreary side , Palpatine was still very much an agent of the Force - something the Final Occultation is unquestionably not .
The Final Occultation Could Immensely Expand the Star Wars Universe
Palpatine was the arrant villain to represent the dark side versus the light side , but now that he ’s gone for well , it ’s time forStar Warsto boom even beyond its own reality . The Anti - Force energy the Final Occultation is channeling comes from the Netherworld , an entirely different property , and its personal effects on the mass it ’s used against are n’t those of the Force . This energy is seemingly from the darkest pits of hell itself ; swirling repugnance beyond inclusion . Darth Maul had to focus with all his might just to live on a handful of these Anti - Force - handle masters - imagine an army of them .
The Final Occultation merely enter the door for the opportunity of delving deep into this Netherworld , and the repulsion that lurk beyond it . Sure , the religious cult itself would be a corking villain for the next chapter inStar Warslore , but the truly intriguing aspect is the Netherworld , and the Anti - Force that can be wielded interdimensionally . A scoundrel / villains utilise this ‘ Anti - Force ’ would , indeed , take the ' light and drab are the same ' , make them not only terrifying , but the perfectStar Warsvillain afterPalpatine .
