Is maul just gonna be a "forever character" in that this universe that's filled with trillions of beings is somehow intertwined with the same 20 characters?

if all we got of maul as a character was the 5 minutes of him in the phantom menace right before he supposedly dies and that's it, you would have the opinion he was a wasted character and massively under used and you'd be right
you're just here to give a contrarian opinion like a faggot troll, you literally don't care if the content is good or not, you're just here to troll and nitpick shit to death
kill yourself, nigger

Maybe. This is Star Wars it's a fantasy universe with chosen ones

How exactly does he survive being cut in half and falling into a plasma incineration chamber?

No in my opinion, maul was fine with just being in TPM.
It was bullshit then, when he got resurrected, and it's bullshit now, now that he's basically a "forever character". Filonifags run amok in the fandom.
>>
I watched the show and now I rewatched Episode I and II. How much of the Filoni Clone Wars Rebels shit should I eat? Obviously I want to learn more about Maul between Episode I and Shadow Lord but is Ashoka a character worth investing in? She looks hot in animations. Plus I want to see Anakin and Obi Wan fleshed out. But the Disney live action shows look painfully bad.

Disney and Kathleen Kennedy ruined Star Wars.

Rebels has a few fun moments and characters but it's buried under a lot of stupid shit

bullshit, you would have complained he was only in the movie for a split second and has no dialogue
you wanna know why I know that, because that's the fucking reason he's been featured over the years, the public complaint that he was a flash in the pan and not even worthy of including because he seemed so tacked on
again
kill yourself, you contrarian trolling nigger faggot

I see it too
>>
>>220575473
Clone wars is peak Star Wars. It is what we all wanted from the prequels and Ashoka is a cute little piece of jail bait from a more civilized time. Rebels is surprisingly good and has some really solid moments but it is more aimed at kids and sometimes it painfully reminds you of that fact. Still worth it for how kino it can get.
>>
>>220575473
Just look up some popular Clone Wars arcs online and watch those, you don't need to actually watch the whole series in order. I like the Mandalorian stuff and the Dathomir stuff, both of which eventually involves Darth Maul. The Mortis episodes are good too as are the ones on Umbara.
>>
>>220575420
True enough, but they went in the complete batshit opposite direction and made what was supposed to be a minor bad guy character in TPM to resurrecting him like three times and being having major influence over the plot and the two trilogies. It's hard to take seriously.
>>
>>220575473
90% of Rebels is just saturday morning kiddie shit. There's like 30 minutes of content that are actually worth watching which you can find on YouTube anyway.
>>
>>220575611
He only got resurrected one time and his entire arc is him realizing how irrelevant he truly is in the great scheme of things
>>
>>220574512
The animation and fights were impressive but plot-wise absolutely nothing happens. All story beats occur in the first and last episode. Everything in between is inconsequential. You can retell the 160 minutes of it in a single paragraph.
>>
>>220575094
He dies for real to Obi-Wan right before A New Hope.

Tearing down the good star wars content and elevating the worst, bashing Filoni while celebrating jew jew abrams and rian johnson's subversive shit
Filoni rehabed the franchise to the point people were excited and looked forward to more star wars media
It should be glaringly obvious to anyone at this point that this type of criticism isn't just about star wars, it's about tearing down western culture by ridiculing quality content and burying it under false criticism so the commie subversion can take over and that's what these trolls spend their days online doing arguing in favor of the soul crushing demoralization pretending that's the quality the public actually wants
It's obvious a lot of these threads are being run out of some kind of commie discord and it's not just about star wars but a broader subversion of all western media

Hard disagree, if you're not going to tell a story about the Sith Lord's apprentice, then that itself cheapens a jedi's journey and by larger extent Luke's journey to becoming a jedi
It's like fundamental to the entire world building and character exposition of the entire franchise, are you actually mentally deficient when it comes to thinking about these things
It's the most interesting things they could possibly put on the screen whether it be through animation or live action, do you even like star wars or are you just here to shit on anything remotely interesting the west produces and could possibly end up inspiring hope in a person

It's okay but I don't know how it works since Rebels already happened. Not Talon is just going to have to die or something.
>>
How stupid and bored do you have to be to consider watching nu wars?
>>
>>220574512
Nice visuals and animation, but the writing is very paper thin. It's just very boring and predictable, and you can see everything happening exactly as it does from a mile away. Reminder, that we don't even know the names of any of the Maul's gang, except Rook. None of them were even named once. No one got any character development. Characters barely even interact, they don't have anything interesting to say. Most of this show is what he said >>220575729
A lot of the characters are just cliches. Here's a cliche cop who got no time for family because of work. Here's a cliche Jedi Master, who's got no discernible character traits and spouts generic Jedi platitude one-liners, yet somehow hasn't said anything actually wise in the entire show. Here's the moody Jedi Padawan, designed to fall to the Dark Side, with no personality and barely any discernible motivations (also she's ugly as fuck, comical that this is supposed to be Darth Talon apparently). You don't even learn anything new about Maul in this entire show. For the first 7 episodes he feels like a background character who only aurafarms and kills people sometimes. Then you hit episode 8, which is supposed to be this deep character study, and... you learn absolutely nothing new about the character. We knew he hates Sidious and blames him for everything ever since 2014. This show had nothing new or interesting to say about its titular character.
The Clone Wars, and even fucking Rebels, had a lot more meaningful character interactions and development in a few episodes than the entire Maul show. People used to fucking TALK and have PERSONALITIES in television shows. Not anymore, it seems.
In the end, this show is just mid as fuck. It has nothing going for it. Much like 90% of Disney Star Wars.

Yesterday's threads why does everything need a 50 page wookiepedia essay, where's the mystery

Disney are cultural vandals who exploit others, they can't actually create new things themselves. Almost all of their beloved films are adaptations of novels and fairy tales.

seems weird

It's fine until Filoni can't keep it in his pants in the last episode and he has his Maul and Vader toy figures fight each other.

>"ugly not Talon" sperg posting his shit opinion again
Fuck off.

Dark Side of the Force, alien biology.

So that's why Maul's saber is different looking? Because he gave half of it to her and made a new half?
>>
The show is fine, but pointless.
You know it won't change the established status quo, because the sequel trilogy still has to happen. So what's the point of this series?
>>
cant wait to see that little pink slut become a darth talon knock off
>>
>>220579465
Unless they just ignore the ST or flat out retcon it. Both seem likely

Not happening in a million years. That would mean Disney throws the towel over the ST. And they would never admit defeat after they invested so much time and effort defending this trilogy on social media.

>>220575692
They can always retcon that into a clone of Maul. Vader fought and killed a Maul clone in the EU, and Obi-wan as well in another non-caon (to the EU) comic where robot legs Maul wanted to attack Owen's farm. Filoni is all about ripping off the EU.
>>
>>220579714
Somehow Maul has returned...again.
>>
>>220579714
And it won't matter, because the ST has to happen anyway and Maul would have to be eliminated to make way for Snoke and somehow returned Palpatine.
>>
>>220579764
Doesn't matter when just like the EU there are a million Sith out there. Hell I expect them to rip off Legacy any day now. I doubt they will ever do the Vong war.

>Shadow Lord

i had a book called Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. before all the Clone Wars revisions, he was a serious assassin or something, working with the Trade Federation.

it came with a bonus short story (previously a free ebook or something), where Darth Maul was a wacky quipster saying action one-liners and getting into scrapes. thinking up jokes in his internal monologue.

how does this happen, EUsisters?
>>
>>220581202
Filoni did it.
