    I hope they kill Maul off. I still find it silly they brought him back from the dead in a total fan boy way.

        If they kill Maul off I suppose we’ll get another version where it’s his legs running around with a robot upper half.

        Just as believable as a death star, or lightsabers… or any fudging thing else in StarWars.

          I can believe in the fantasy of huge space weapon and laserswords. A biped humanoid getting severed from the midriff down losing many of his essential body parts and yet is still kicking is a little more of a stretch even for this universe. Wants next sticking Dooku’s head on top of a robot because anything is possible in Star Wars lol.

            TUD used to whine about how this cartoon wasn’t more adult. He got mad when I pointed out the expectations for a 23 minute animated feature on a children’s network wasn’t going to satisfy his adult expectations.

            He then blocked me and has oddly enough never complained about the same topic again.

            He’s also a misogynistic asswipe. No loss having him block me. You’re welcome to do the same.

            If by stirring up trouble you mean discussing an opinion you posted on a open forum and handing you your ass when you were unable to validate the thought process behind it to begin with without resulting to lame insults.. Well yes, I’m here to stir up trouble.

            Anakin did not get cut in half. So since Star Wars is full of silliness how about another Sith Lord in Dooku coming back head attached to a robot? Or are you drawing a line with getting cut in half? If one Sith Lord can do it another can do right babe?

            Permalink

            First of all, someone else made the comment about Dooku. Stop trying to pass that off as your own witticism. It’s absolutely pathetic.

            Next. Anakin Skywalker came into contact with a lava flow that was so hot he burst into flame almost spontaneously and was scorched across his entire body. So badly in fact, and I know you may not know this so I’ll let you in on a secret, he couldn’t BREATHE anymore. That’s why he needed a suit and a respirator, it was impossible for him to breathe without the assistance of a machine or we would die.

            Yet, he survived until Palpatine came and picked him up.

            Now you may argue there’s been some discussion on how long it took Palpatine to get there, but with your average human being, brain death occurs after three minutes without air.

            I think Palpy took longer than that to reach Anakin on Mustafar.

            SO! Sith Lord cut in half survives using the Force? Silly. Sith Lord nearly burns to death and is unable to breathe on his own and uses the Force to preserve his life? Silly.

            Dooku coming back as a robot brain? Please see the B’omarr Monks of Tatooine, other wise known as the spider droid in Jabba’s Palace from Return of the Jedi.

            What the other more imaginative and intelligent poster said that you have repeated here to prove a point, which of course you said you weren’t arguing because it’s an opinion and apparently that would make one ignorant for doing so, is very silly. And already canon and very plausible.

            Learn something, son. Then try to argue with me.

            Have a nice day!

            Sidious didn’t arrive immediately, and the novelisation says it was only his hate for Obi-Wan that kept him alive. Same with Maul, it’s said his singular hatred for Obi-Wan kept him alive.

        Yes, as apposed to doing that with a new character and giving maul back story in something prior to TPM. It is a very large galaxy. He was cut in two and fell down a seemingly endless pit. I didn’t say he sucks, I just said it’s silly…and it is.

          The whole Universe is bizarre and silly. It’s part of the charm.

          Maul was the new Boba Fett. And even the hardest of the hardcore Prequel fanboys lament his immediate departure after his initial introduction.

          Lucas has a great looking character design he wasted.

            My stance is that Star Wars is filled with silly, from the top to the bottom. If having Maul survive being cut in half is too silly for you, may I direct you to a planet that was turned into a hyperspace weapon in Episode VII and shot super novas across the galaxy.

            Or Anakin Skywalker, who was lit on fire by a lava flow and burned nearly to death, but preserved his life through the Force. They took their cue with Maul from that.

            And you know, wtf, if you’re a Jedi you can come back as a ghost and talk to people. Because this is the epitome of realism.

            It’s Star Wars. Realism takes a far back seat. Physics does not apply. Mortality does not apply. It’s always been about exciting space adventures. They resurrected a character and gave him the story he was due.

            Why don’t we talk about flight characteristics of starfighters in the atmosphere while we’re here pissing back and forth about ‘realism’ in Star Wars.

            Really? Again, you’re talking about a film universe filled with outrageous silly things. It’s an excellent stance in a discussion when you try to whine about ‘realism’ in the Star Wars Universe.

            You could, you know, just said you didn’t care for Maul’s survival and left it at that, I would have never replied.

            But when your argument is realism, yes, I’m going to point out you’re complaining about something that doesn’t exist in the Star Wars universe.

        You do not have to have 100 lines of a dialogue to qualify as character. Maul’s whole personality was he was a silent hunter who preferred fighting his enemies to talking to him. He was animalistic in many ways and I loved that about him. Now he runs his mouth and twirls his mustache and very much belongs in the cartoon world he resides in now. As silly as bringing him back was, his utter personality change bothered me more.

          “Maul’s whole personality was he was a silent hunter who preferred fighting his enemies to talking to him. He was animalistic in many ways and I loved that about him.”

          No offense, but I think you’ve just *invented* a personality for Maul that wasn’t there in the first place. Not only did he not have any lines in TPM, he didn’t have any character moments. He just stood and ran and did stuff. He was a walking lightsaber. That’s it. He didn’t HAVE a personality or a character to begin with imo.

            isn’t much of a personality. How interesting is that, really? It’s cool to look at, but it’s not actually a CHARACTER to be invest in? Why should we actually CARE about Maul in TPM when he has no personality?

            First assassin is what his job was i never said that was his character. He was hunting Jedi and the Queen so why being the hunter he is waste time talking to them? You say I am the one who invented a personality and that is obviously not the case. Filoni did in order to “fix” him.

            Yes, Filoni did “invent” a personalty (as in he wrote it). But when I say that you “invented” a personality for him, I mean that you’re creating a personality in your brain that Maul never actually had. It’s revisionist history, in my opinion.

    This series have a problem when the season climax needs to be starred by TCW characters instead of Rebels characters. It already happened with Ashoka vs Vader. TCW should have never been cancelled.

        It’s not terribly smart to use “Space Aladdin” in a derogatory way when the main character of the movie that started the whole franchise is, basically, Space Wart (Wart/Arthur from ‘the Sword in the Stone’).

      I think there are likely folks at Disney who agree it shouldn’t have been cancelled. Unfortunately, there are boring reasons behind it. Notably the cost per episode and the tangled licensing between Lucasfilm and Cartoon Network (Disney would obviously want the show on their own channels). It doesn’t make the decision any less maddening, just providing context.

    I feel they have let us down a bit on Maul by painting him as obsessed with little more than Kenobi. The guy was a trained Sith Lord and all we get now is his “revenge at all costs” plot. I would like to have had more depth to the character, but I feel I am getting bored with him. I hope Obi-Wan takes him out for good.

      “I feel they have let us down a bit on Maul by painting him as obsessed with little more than Kenobi.”

      I completely agree with you, although I’m still not convinced, that he is out for revenge. He could have easily killed Obi-wan twice before during TCW, but he didn’t. In fact Maul said this, when he had him unarmed and surrounded: “I NEVER planned on killing you, but I will make you share my pain, Kenobi.”

      Filoni and co stated several times, that Maul’s main motivation now is to build a legacy, to leave something behind (that is why he wants Ezra as his apprentice). I just don’t see, how the whole revenge stuff fits into this. Against Sidious and Vader? Sure! But who cares about a broken man on an insignificant planet.

      Now, I’m sure they can execute the “killing Kenobi” story in a compelling way, but I do hope, that they came up with something more interesting.

      But these are just my thoughts, so who cares?

      “The guy was a trained Sith Lord…”

      Hmmm…that’s highly debatable. For all we know, he was merely one of several pawns that Palpatine used, granting them the title of “Darth” just to squeeze as much out of them as possible. As far as I can tell, Palpatine was the last, fully trained Sith Lord. The rest were just lackeys used to get the job that he needed done, done.

      Besides, getting cut in half and tossed away like garbage tends to do things to ones psyche…or so I would think. 😉

            Ya, after maul had bested Kenobi he got cocky, let his gaurd down, and that led to him getting chopped in half. Nothing besides fan speculation implies that he wasn’t a fully trained sith lord

            Most canon material seems to suggest that he was trained as more of a weapon than a true Sith apprentice.

            Which Canon material are you referring to?

          • March 12, 2017 at 7:27 am

            Canon character guides, comics, supplementary material, Wookieepedia (which Lucasfilm endorses), the like.

          • March 12, 2017 at 7:53 pm
            Permalink

            Ya.. nothing in those suggest what you’re saying either. The only Canon comics he’s in is son of dathomir and the new one they just created, and neither of those support your claim. Character guides always refer to him as a Darth, not just a force user trained in the dark side like the Inquisitors. As for wookieepedia, if you have to refer to that then you’re really stretching it. Regardless, let’s look at what wookieepedia says:

            “Sidious eventually abandoned Talzin, despite promising to make her his apprentice, and instead took Maul once he realized the boy’s potential.[8] Once under Sidious’ tutelage, Maul began training as his Sith apprentice.[1]

            For years, Maul was trained to become a weapon of the Sith. He became an acrobatic warrior, one trained to be relentless against his enemies, and learned to use a dual-bladed lightsaber. His Sith training made Maul long for revenge against the Jedi Order,[1] which had defeated the Sith a millennium earlier.[11] With his master, Maul hoped to destroy the Jedi and restore the Sith to galactic power.[1]”

            The only thing you keep referencing is that it says that he was trained to become a weapon of the sith, which doesn’t prove your point. What about being a weapon implies that his training was incomplete or that he isn’t a real darth? Sith apprentices are always used as weapons to do their master’s bidding. Maul is the only apprentice of sidious that had trained to become a sith Lord since his childhood; his entire life was spent training in the dark side. Being called a weapon doesn’t add or subtract anything from him being a true Darth.

            Permalink

            Well, we do know that Darth Sidious basically planned to let him get killed from the beginning, and we know that he at least viewed his training as disingenuous.

            Forgive me for coming to a conclusion, but it’s not that large of a jump, really.

          • March 12, 2017 at 8:49 pm
            Permalink

            Ayayai. No, that’s yet another fabricated statement. Why would sidious invest more than a decade of training for maul and yet plan to let him get killed? He was shocked and disappointed when he found out that maul had supposedly been killed. As for Maul’s training being disingenuous, he never said that either. Maul says in Rebels, “there was a time when my power was almost absolute”. That’s not a statement made by someone who thinks that his training was incomplete or partial.

          • March 12, 2017 at 9:01 pm
            Permalink

            Yeah, but he also says that the Sith used him, and betrayed him and blah blah blah. While that’s true of any Sith apprenitce, don’t be surprised if someone interprets that differently than you do.

            Still doesn’t change the fact that he was a real darth, and that his training was legit. That’s all I’m arguing.

            Has it occured to you that he character no doubt argues that from his own perspective, rather than one of universal fact? As far as Palaptine was concerned he was dead until he showed up again in TCW. Of course Maul would say he’s been betrayed if he comes back and finds that another apprentice has taken his place.

          Yep…in Palpatine’s eyes, I certainly am. Through the veil of the canon material out there now, one could argue as much.

      i that kenobi has become maul’s white whale. as he descends further into madness maul feels he only has his revenge left to him. i mean, maul lost his spot as right hand to the most powerful man in the galaxy, then he lost his legs, his brother and his mind. makes sense for me that his obsession with the one he thinks started this chain of events would consume him.

      The guy was indeed a trained Sith Lord, and petty revenge schemes is totally their thing, if you want to call being cut in half and left for dead a petty grievance.

    Disagree with me all you want, but i truly love what they did with Maul (overall). Between TCW and Rebels, i like the way his character has become. Sure, if he didn’t get cut in half by Kenobi he would likely still be the way he was, but if you truly don’t see why he is the way he is that’s not an issue on the storytelling group.

    Why does he care about Kenobi so much and not Vader/Palpy? Well..Duh, Maul and Kenobi were almost mirror images of each other. Both young apprentices, Light and Dark. That destroyed Mauls destiny, sureeee Palpy killed his brother and left him to rot but in Mauls mind this all stems from his halving heh. I also kinda think that Maul has plans beyond this, obviously. He wants Ezra as an apprentice which so i feel that he thinks once he deals with the person who took his potential from him, he can and his new apprentice can move on and take out the sith.

    Just saying…if you can factor in every element of his story you should be able to see why he is how he is.

            Exactly. Ezra would of been a far more interesting character finding his own path in using the force, more so if his lack of control or ability to listen caused Kanan’s death. Kanan now appears spent in the show and Ezra is getting dull.

    the obi wan revenge arc makes no sense for maul’s character because of this reason:
    in the clone wars, maul had the opportunity to kill kenobi but chose to kill his love interest satine instead because he knew that this would hurt kenobi more than anything else. he already got his revenge. he let kenobi live so that satine’s death could constantly haunt him and make him suffer.
    so now all of a sudden maul wants to kill him? makes no sense, considering he already had the opportunity.
    would of made a lot more sense for his character to try to go after vader and palpatine, maybe with ezra as his apprentice.

I was pointing out that with that logic, he should have been able to track down Luke during that 4 year gap between ANH and ESB. But clearly what you MEANT to say was that you hope that Vader end sup killing everyone, and I agree that that would be cool.
