I haven't ever watched any of those cartoons but bringing him back after he gets cut in half and dumped down that shaft may be the dumbest thing I've heard since the word midichlorian.

They were catering to massive fan appeal of the character. They did it as tastefully as possible. Considering all the other totally unrealistic stuff that goes on in the Star Wars universe, we can't say it wouldn't be possible.

That being said, watch the show. I was fairly hardcore against it. It looked like a cartoon designed for pre-teens. In some aspects, especially near the beginning it is. But the show is actually pretty brilliant. It fills in so many unexplained gaps between 2 and 3 such as depicting how Palpatine is able to eventually usurp the republic by subtly manipulating the people and government, the slow fall of Anakin into darkness, the creation of the clone army, the order 66 conspiracy with the clones, and so much more. The show gets progressively darker and less kid friendly as it goes on too.

Skipping the show because of its outward appearance is a mistake lol.

Also the cartoon roleplay Anakin better than the movies :)

How is anything in Star Wars dumb?
Lol theirs aliens, (the force), lightsabers, giant bugs, flying cars, a wookie, etc...
And surviving being cut in half is impossible?

Yeah. I find it.... "selective" when people randomly choose weird things in a Space opera as too much Space opera. I mean: people cry foul for Maul (a forve user who can almost fly and is fast enough to deflect láser weapons) surviving being cut by half, but they drool with Boba surviving the freaking Sarlacc. Or Han Solo being drowned in carbonite. And so on.

I would give Maul a chance to res in the game, just like Boba. Because why not

I always thought Maul had so much potential in the first movie and was so neglected. I would have loved if they had made the movie more about him and why he hated the Jedi instead of just having him be a light saber fight and two lines. He really could have been most interesting character. Instead it was about some sort of inexplicable taxation of outlying planetary trade routes and an equally inexplicable invasion because ostensibly some Chinese sounding aliens didn't want to pay taxes? And then subsequent problems dealing with bureaucracy of various delegates getting a quorum to stop said tax invasion? I mean WTF?

I may try to check out the cartoon something I could watch with my kid anyways.

A lot of that is explained in the cartoon. It was orchestrated by Palpatine and essentially has to do with destabilizing the republic and instilling an intense fear into republic citizens causing them to become more reliant on and trusting of the government.

Besides clearly depicting the rise of Maul from the dead, The Clone Wars also gives us answers to a TON of questions none of the movies even address. All 6 seasons are honestly under the "must watch" category if you really are a Star Wars fan who enjoys their universe & truly wants more of it that's good.

George Lucas himself approved & even created new stuff & characters for the Clone Wars(like Hondo Ohnaka), etc. So it's easy to watch with or without kids(if you have them) and really not only exciting but it also has great Star Wars music & graphics. Missing it is a shame for any fan.

I dont think maul is dead to this date. Which would leave him the only standing sith?

Maybe we will see him again in the new movies

If they buffed his speed they would have to Tine down his skills. Which I am okay with.

It would be so wildly cool to see Darth Maul show up in a future Episode of the movies since they have accepted as canon that he survived his battle with Obi Wan Kenobi & was taken prisoner by Darth Sidious near the end of the Clone Wars.
He is truly the last Sith standing(as was mentioned above) & unless he's dead or locked in a dark prison in a deep hole somewhere, he deserves to have his storyline finished. Either in Rebels or in theaters. I'd like to know what happened to him & see some of his future versions in the game.

Maul will also make an appearance in Star Wars Rebels this season which takes place about 4-5 years before Episide IV. Looking forward to that!

I liked Clone Wars better than Rebels - but season 2 of Rebels is really impressing me.
