Last week the official site revealed the full list of voice talent who would be attached to the audiobook edition of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Stories of Light and Dark anthology from Disney Books. Sam Witwer was part of that most impressive list as he reprises his iconic role as the sinister voice behind Maul (click here for recent comments from Witwer on how he approached crafting Maul’s voice) from The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.
StarWars.com gives us a taste of Witwer’s performance today with an exclusive audiobook excerpt taken from his “Dark Vengeance” segment. Give it a listen at the provided source link.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Stories of Light and Dark checks in at 384 pages and can be pre-ordered from Disney Books at this link. The book will be released on August 25.
“At last we will have revenge.”
Maul’s words in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace echo throughout his life as a Sith and beyond. In StarWars.com’s exclusive audiobook excerpt of “Dark Vengeance” by Rebecca Roanhorse, taken from Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Stories of Light and Dark, an older Maul recounts his tale of survival and quest for revenge against Obi-Wan Kenobi. An adaptation of the classic The Clone Wars episode “Brothers,” Sam Witwer returns to the role of Maul once more with a menacing performance.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Stories of Light and Dark, coming August 25, promises to be a beautiful tribute to the recently-completed animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The anthology will collect 11 stories by 11 authors — Lou Anders, Preeti Chhibber, Zoraida Córdova, Jason Fry, Rebecca Roanhorse, Greg Van Eekhout, Tom Angleberger, E. Anne Convery, Sarah Beth Durst, Yoon Ha Lee, and Anne Ursu — including 10 retellings of memorable episodes and arcs and one original Nightsisters-based story.
