"Revenge" marks the end of the fourth season of the animated television show Star Wars: The Clone Wars, serving as its twenty-second and concluding episode. It wraps up a four-part narrative arc centered around the destiny of Asajj Ventress, the Nightsisters, and a pair of Nightbrothers, a storyline that unfolded across the preceding episodes: "Massacre," "Bounty," and "Brothers." Its initial broadcast occurred on March 14 in France via W9, preceding its official debut on Cartoon Network on March 16, 2012. The subsequent episode in chronological order is "A War on Two Fronts," which is the second episode of Season Five's.
Maul and Savage Opress, having reunited, journey back to Dathomir. There, Mother Talzin guides the brothers to her village, where she utilizes magicks to remove Maul's spider-like cybernetics, replacing them with new cybernetic legs and restoring his mental stability. Fully healed and reborn, Maul reflects on his survival, marked by abandonment, oblivion, and despair, sustained only by his burning hatred. Sensing an imbalance in the Force, Maul learns from Savage about the ongoing Clone Wars. Enraged that the conflict began without him, Maul feels deprived of his destiny to transcend his role as a mere Sith apprentice to the "most powerful being in the galaxy." Despite Savage's belief in a fresh start, the brothers conspire to exact Maul's revenge upon Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi responsible for his downfall.
To lure Kenobi, Maul and Opress descend upon a village on Raydonia, massacring its inhabitants and transmitting a hologram message to the Jedi Temple, daring Obi-Wan to confront them. Despite Mace Windu's suggestion of deploying a Jedi task force, Obi-Wan insists on facing them alone to atone for his past actions. As Windu voices his concerns, Yoda enigmatically suggests that Obi-Wan will have company – simultaneously, in a certain place on Tatooine, Asajj Ventress discovers a bounty on Savage Opress and sets out to claim it.
Arriving at the Raydonian village, Obi-Wan is swiftly overpowered by Maul and Opress, who imprison him aboard their hijacked freighter with the intention of torturing him to death. However, just before their departure, Ventress lands on the planet, locates their ship, and sneaks aboard. Confronting the brothers, she provokes them by deriding Savage as a beast, causing them to abandon the unconscious Obi-Wan in pursuit of her. Ventress then aids Obi-Wan, awakening him and providing him with one of her lightsabers for self-defense upon Maul and Opress's return. The unlikely duo collaborates to fight the brothers, but are ultimately overwhelmed and narrowly escape by ejecting the ship's cockpit, leaving Maul and Opress stranded. Despite this setback, Maul remains confident that the Jedi will pursue him once more, paving the way for his eventual revenge.
"Revenge" marked the second instance in the series where the opening logo was rendered in red, deviating from the customary yellow. The previous episode had also employed this red logo initially, coinciding with Darth Maul's return.
According to information revealed in a behind-the-scenes segment on StarWars.com, the turtle tanker does possess a secondary control pod, preventing the brothers from being stranded, as Maul is seen within it as the episode concludes.
The design of Maul in this episode is inspired by the comic book Old Wounds.
