After watching Shadow Lord, yes, it is a very fitting end.

>>154819617
no all the Maul appearances after the Phantom Menace were retarded

He died fighting the man who bested him in the past. In cultures where dying in battle as a warrior is considered an honorable way to go, he had a much better death than others have.

>>154819617
He needed to die at some point. Getting punked at the moment of his revenge without a flashy fight is very fitting.
>"Look what I have risen above."
Maul's spent the last three decades endlessly seething about Kenobi. He never really grew as a person, he stagnated in his misery and hatred while Obi-Wan has learned to transcend it all. If anybody in the galaxy deserves to hate everything, it's Kenobi, but he doesn't. He's just the better man.

>>154820920
And what makes it kinda sad that Maul always had the choice to let go of his passion for revenge, but always chose to keep himself chained to it. Forever controlled by Sidious until his death.

>>154819617
Yeah. He's an irrelevant character who thinks he's still in the running to be big bad. Having Obi-Wan swat him down with zero effort is the perfect ending. The only problem is that Maul overstayed his welcome by almost 20 years.

>>154820920
From a certain point of view, Maul has been a formidable warrior that's spent his life skirmishing fiercely. By the time this happens he's a desperate and disgraced old man who's wasted his life, body and spirit in a fruitless search for power and vengeance, his adventure to Tatooine is now him grasping at straws for a goal he was never fated to achieve.
He's worn and tired, he has it in him to offer one more fabulous battle, so instead he's just put down like a dog, finally finding an end to a tragic lifetime of misery and pain. In the end Obi-Wan doesn't hate his nemesis but instead pities him, enough to offer a mercy killing and tending him in his last moments, being the only person able to grant him peace for the first and last time in Maul's life.

>>154820946
>Forever controlled by Sidious until his death.
*single tear* That's the good shit

>>154819696
fpbp
I was there when everyone turned on Lucasfilm because of this. Darth Maul should've stayed dead.

>>154820966
>he hasn't it in him to offer one more fabulous battle
Meant this actually

>>154820960
>>154820993
Nah, he's offered some of the most solid plotlines because of his return.

>>154819696
This. Any bullshit outside of Episodes I-VI are bullshit and gay and unworthy of attention.
>Anakin during the 3 year stint of Clone Wars had an apprentice who was never mentioned or acknowledged in the major events of his life. Was also absent.
Miss me with the faggot nerd shit.

>>154821082
the expanded universe especially

>>154821003
no one gives a shit because in the end it's all inconsequential when everything circles back to the exact events in the first star wars trilogy despite lucasfilm saying otherwise with its canon/legends bs

The only complaint I have is that I wish it happened in a different series.

>>154821306
it was made pretty obvious with the scene between maul and ahsoka on mandalore that they had both been abandoned by their social hierarchies and to some extent the force. it's actually good story telling because it means individuals can be victims of circumstances and there is determinism that constrains agency and freedom

Which of them are you MORE annoyed isn't dead-for-good yet?

>>154821447
honestly Ahsoka is mostly harmless when you look at the big picture, Maul on the other hand was most certainly dead after his sliced body was sent flailing down a shaft and shouldn't be getting any more stories after that

>>154821306
What a shitty argument

>>154819617
Bringing Maul back at all was stupid.

>>154821529
for real like how did he even keep his guts in during that fall?

>>154821553
Lightsabers cauterize wounds

>>154821491
>honestly Ahsoka is mostly harmless when you look at the big picture

I don't really know about that, it's kind of weird that she's this major part of Anakin's life and then she's not there, and not even mentioned, in Revenge Of The Sith.

>>154821082
The prequels are also gay bullshit.

>>154821589
Star Wars has had far more awkward retcons. Ahsoka is small potatoes.

star wars has always fucking sucked

>>154819792
George is kinda stupid. What does rule of 2 even mean? Only 2 sith at a time? in the whole galaxy? No wonder they lost.

>>154821589
You can ignore the existence of Ahsoka, like some people don't even acknowledge the prequels as Anakin's true history.
Darth Maul outliving everyone in the prequels and sharing air with Han Solo, when he should've died in the Phantom Menace, is honestly insane fanwank if it had not been Star Wars canon.

Imagine how different Star Wars could've been if Kenobi decapitated Maul instead.

>>154820966
Wasn't he a gang lord? Why the fuck did he care about a literal who living on fucking tattoine

>>154821082
Only a new hope is canon that faggot swamp muppet ruined star wars

>>154821447
Ahsoka outliving Yoda pisses me off more than just about everything else Filoni has put his name to.

>>154822326
The "apprentice always kills the master" idea sounded cool on paper but it just fucked the worldbuilding and plot potential of the Sith.

Then you have later writers pushing for "dark side acolytes" or "inquisitors" to bypass that bullshit rule and have more than two Sith characters.

Filoni now has a new toy to play with in case he needs to put Darth Maul aside.

>>154822471
To be fair, the EU found a decently-elegant solution to the problem: that the Rule of Two was an innovation on Darth Bane's part after he saw the clusterfuck of how the final Sith Empire ended.

This suggests that the Rule of Two is not hard-wired into the Sith's DNA and can be removed in future iterations of them as a faction.

>>154822488
That sort of solution is why Star Wars worldbuilding sucks. It's an eternal patchwork of trying to fix bad ideas instead of keeping things simple. Like current Disney shows trying to ignore the Sequel retardation while also sticking to it.

Rule of Two was the biggest worldbuilding mistake. Way worse than midichlorians, but people don't complain because it sounds cool.

>>154822549
Every franchise that has been touched by more than three or four writers is an "eternal patchwork." Most of what /co/ loves is an eternal patchwork at this point. What can you do except roll with the punches?

>>154821082
At this point don't consume any SW then. Why the fuck even join a discussion?

>>154823032
to call you a bitch ass faggot, that's why

>>154823131
To act like one seems more

>>154819617
This was the best ending he could've had, and they shouldn't have touched his character after this.

>>154821003
Meh. It'd be nice if he didn't have that Filoni plot armor to carry him into the Imperial Period

>>154822472
Talonfags gtfo

Reviving Maul was a mistake.

>>154822549
>Evil should just be one big happy family that totally doesn't backstab eachother and such!

You are a complete fucking retard of the highest caliber. Also Legacy undid the Rule of Two so you can shut the fuck up now.

I bet George realized what mistake he had committed with Maul's end, that he made sure future fan favorites like Jango, Dooku, and Grievous were going to be irreversibly dead.
