Gon Jin.

The story begins on the mysterious planet of Iridionia, where Luke is assigned to a
diplomatic mission.
He arrives at the planet’s royal palace, and is greeted by their leaders.
After discussing the details about the opening of a new trade route to the long isolated
outer rim, Luke along with R2-D2 return to their quarters while awaiting planned dinner
between the delegates.
While waiting, Luke decides to meditate on the balcony of his quarters, hoping to feel
direction from the force on how to best negotiate the trade deal.
While Luke was in a calm state of rest, R2 noticed a misty figure behind the two, quickly
alerting Luke.
Upon hearing R2’s call of distress, Luke quickly drew his lightsaber at the figure,
igniting its green blade.
The ghost of maul swung his double bladed lightsaber at Luke, hoping to impale him as
he did to Master Qui Gon Jin.
Luke fiercely fought back at the ghost of Maul, dodging and blocking anything that came
at him.
Luke eventually was able to conjure enough strength to force push Maul’s ghost back,
shocking him and causing him to dissolve away into the wind.
This left Luke and R2 shocked and puzzled at how the ghost of a long dead Sith Lord
could come back as a ghost.
It was a long known fact that the Sith were unable to manifest themselves as force ghosts
because of their severed connection to the light side of the force.
Having heard the loud commotion from Luke’s quarters, the palace guards rushed in to check
on the pair.
After explaining the strange ghostly figure to the guards, they gave their sincerest apologies,
remarking that Luke was not the first person to have been visited by the ghost.
The guards, along with almost everyone on Iridonia knew the true identity of the ghost
as he had once been part of their tribe.
They told Luke the story of how one of their own men left the planet to train in the arts
of the sith, eventually being killed in battle on Naboo.
According to legend on the planet, many citizens of the planet had experienced sightings of
the tortured and afflicted ghost of the fallen Sith Lord, Darth Maul.
The sightings of the mysterious ghost served as a painful reminder for the dark history
of the planet Iridonia.
Luke Skywalker placed all trade negotiations on hold so that he could investigate the ghost
and figure out its true origins.
He hopped in his speeder and sped towards an alleyway within the main city.
While travelling, the Ghost of Maul once again appeared in front of Luke, stopping in his
tracks.
Luke moved into the front of his speeder and began to fight the fierce ghost of Maul once
more.
He backflipped over the ghost of Maul, avoiding him for the time being and landing on the
street below.
The ghost vowed to have his revenge on Luke for managing to escape.
As he began to regain his bearing on the street, he closed his eyes and opened his mind to
the force, hoping it would guide him to the source of the phantom being.
He was guided to a massive stone structure which looked to have no way of entering.
Luke carefully walked around the structure, examining it for a possible way of getting
in.
On the verge of giving up, he placed his hand onto the stone bricks and fell into it.
It was a hologram.
Luke was surprised by this revelation and wondered what could be hiding inside.
As he lifted himself off of the ground, Luke was shocked to see a lab riddled with electrical
wiring and life support tanks as far as the eye could see.
His gaze was abruptly interrupted by a man wearing what looked to be a lab coat and glasses.
The man made it very clear to Luke that he was trespassing in the lab.
Despite this, the man had not had outside contact for many years and was very eager
to show off his life’s work.
The doctor quickly moved Luke to the central display of the lab, brimming with excitement
to tell what was inside.
He proclaimed that inside the tank, was the great champion of Iridonia.
Darth Maul.
Luke was extremely confused and looked at the tank wondering how this was all possible.
The doctor explained that the tank allowed the life essence of Darth Maul to live on
as a Solid State Hologram.
The doctor got carried away, telling Luke of the mighty tales of Maul - until his unfortunate
demise at the hands of Obi Wan Kenobi.
The doctor was stopped in his tracks by a worried Luke, who was concerned that keeping
a body artificially alive was a huge unnatural disturbance in the force.
The doctor arrogantly asked Luke, “and what do you know of the force?” in response to
this, Luke ignited the lightsaber.
This frightened the doctor, prompting him to run away from the laboratory.
Luke emptied the tank, killing the essence of Darth Maul once and for all and removing
the unnatural disturbance in the force…
At least for now.
Thats the story of how Luke Skywalker fought the ghost of Darth Maul.
