There's a cheer inside the Los Angeles IMAX theater before the sneak preview of the first 25 minutes of The Mandalorian and Grogu even begins. The Star Wars fans in the audience of this May the Fourth event recognized a special guest's hat. Dave Filoni, cowboy hat-wearing head of Lucasfilm, has made an appearance, promising the audience that we’re in for "one heck of a ride."

But it’s not the ride you might have been expecting.

When it comes to last-minute travel, you want every decision to feel easy — and it all starts with making the right decision on your hotel stay. If you’re dreaming of putting up your OOO message and skipping town now, look no further.

OUTRIGGER Waikiki Paradise Hotel is your entry point to Waikiki’s pristine beaches and lively energy. Inspired by a lush paradise garden, this resort is the ideal home base for an ultra-relaxing trip. The hotel has taken care to weave the local culture into its design and programming; guest rooms and suites feature artwork by prominent Hawaii-based artists, and every Friday, guests can join the staff for a traditional lei-making experience.

In 1999, when The Phantom Menace was released, Darth Maul was positioned, at least briefly, to be the successor to Darth Vader. But after Obi-Wan Kenobi seemingly sent Maul to join the Force at the end of Episode I, Maul’s career as the next Vader was, seemingly, at an end. This meant that Maul and Vader never got to face each other in a lightsaber duel — that is, until 2001. In a non-canon comic book anthology series called Star Wars: Tales, Maul and Vader were pitted against each other in a kind of Dark Side test devised by Sidious. This duel happened in Tales #9 from Dark Horse Comics, and both then and now, this fight has never really depicted a true canonical showdown between the two Darths.

But that’s changed. In the finale of Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord, a canonical fight between Darth Vader and Maul has finally happened, and it's epic.
