Lars....well, he's just going to nag Maul to death about moisture vaporators.

Next exclusive should be something like Ewoks vs Gungans.

That 2-pack is actually based on a short story in the Star Wars: Visionairies comic series. You can read a basic summary here of that story ("Old Wounds") as well as the rest of the series. It wasn't just some dumb marketing gimmick dreamed up by Hasbro or Lucasfilm. It was a dumb marketing gimmick dreamed up by the writer and Dark Horse Comics.

The upshot is the story is actually pretty good and fits established continuity.
