Bringing Maul back was one of the best decisions ever, as it actually builds obi wans character with their interactions. imagine seeing the guy who murdered your master, who you thought you already killed come back over and over again to continually torment you ever since you cut him in half.

Maul secretly found the key to Sith immortality, which is why he always comes back.

>>78012737
TCW had plenty of stupid ideas and moments, but Rebels just kind of sucks in general.

>>78012737
I am literally burning in hype.
I would love some sort of sad end for Maul, explaining how lonelly was he in his life and how Obi was the only thing close to a friend.

>>78013652

>>78013735
It's more that it's a contrived unnecessary interquel series to begin with that meshes somewhat poorly with the source films, not unlike TCW before it or Rogue One.

Making an anthology movie out of Obi-Wan's last duel with Maul doesn't make the context or premise any less stupid. Rebels is a fairly well-made action adventure cartoon. It just has a pervasively stupid premise with equally stupid characters. Sometimes less is more. The milking of Star Wars (and I would include, though to a lesser degree, the prequels themselves in this category) feels absurd to me.

Luke, did I ever tell you about pants? Pants were clothes that humanoids wore over their lower bodies. Some sentient species such as Ewoks and Wookiees did not wear pants, but most male Humans did. In some cases pants were culturally significant, as in the case of Corellian Bloodstripes, which were worn as a length of broken cloth piping down the outer seams of the recipient's pants. Ubese trackers such as Boushh were known to wear Shata leather pants, and Princess Leia Organa wore a pair of these when impersonating the bounty hunter.

It was great because you got to see how his Sith training paid off. He wasn't just a mute attack dog, he was an actual Sith, and we finally got to see him in action.

Luke, did I ever tell you about jukeboxes? A jukebox was a device that played music. At least some models were designed so that the user could insert jukebox tokens into the machine and then select from a catalog of songs. Jukeboxes were commonly found in cantinas throughout the galaxy.

>>78014251
>Disney why would you do this?
Disney isn't in control of this.

>>78014199
Why is it surprising? Maul was a puppet the show runners revived for the novelty, and because he was an empty red action scene of a character initially they shoehorned actual personality and motivations onto him.

It's not so much progression as the invention of an actual character, which is why reviving him was such an odd idea when divorced from the fanwankery.

Luke, did I ever tell you about churros? At the Star Tours terminal of Spaceport THX1138, droid security agent G2-4T mistook a passenger's churro for a lightsaber and asked that it be put away.

Wrong. The showrunners actually fought against the decision. It came straight from Lucas himself. Not even kidding.

>It's not so much progression as the invention of an actual character,
True, and its a good thing

>which is why reviving him was such an odd idea
Not true. He was a vital point in the show for two reasons;

A) Disrupting Mandalore causing another civil war, leading the Mandalorians to fall back into their old ways, repercussions still affecting the canon today, and probably forever.

B) Creating a rivalry and character drama for Obi-Wan that Lucas regretted not having in the movies.

It was literally just Lucas fixing what he believed was a mistake, and they turned it into something pretty damn enjoyable to watch.

Maul has been alive in Canon since about 2012, back when TCW was airing on Cartoon Network.

Thrawn is newly re-canonized, and is also getting his own novel, written by his creator Timophy Zahn, so Thrawn is also getting more content than he ever had in the non-canon EU, simply by having his own book, and actual screentime at all.

If Sion and Nihilus can exist because of dark side hatred, I'm willing to believe Maul can do. But only on the condition that Windu also survived.

>>78014093
Darth maul didn't get rescued, he just was alive for 12 year without eating or shitting or peeing.

>>78014155
>>78014090
Why dooku died then? Because they chopped his head? irrelevant, he can keep himself alive without a head because Durk Sud

>>78014519
>Windu comes back as a cyborg bad black motherfucker

All of my shekels

>tfw EU Maul was actually a good character

he went from mute Sith lackey to carving his own path almost supplanting Count Dooku and Sidious at one point.

>>78014552
The comics of him are pretty nice aswell.

>>78014525
A body can still be alive as long as the heart, lungs and brain are all still in tact and connected. Losing one is a definite death strike against anyone, fictional or not.

Dooku not only had his head chopped off, his entire body was in the half of the Separatist cruiser that broke off in-atmosphere and dropped to Coruscant in a giant ball of flame.

>>78014436
>It came straight from Lucas himself.
Fair, but the gist of my point still stands. Its appeal is in novelty.
>and its a good thing.
Not really. It doesn't correct the blandness of Maul in TPM. It's just a contrivance that might as well have been a new character or something less goofy.

I'm not suggesting that Maul did not in fact alter the plot of the show. I'm suggesting his influence, insofar as it reflected his roots and role in TPM, has been minimal at best and awkward fanservice at worst. They've carried the premise as gracefully as one could expect (save for the fact he really should have swiftly died again in TCW), but it's nonetheless pablum. Even for Star Wars. Good fun at times sure, but the idea it's quality storytelling is absurd. Have some standards.

>>78014093
>>78014155
People survive if they get proper treatment even after losing all their limbs and having 3rd degree burns, people don't survive without kidneys, intestines and stomach, specially not for 10 years without a replacement.

It would make more sense for him to come back as a force ghost and possess someone, but turns out only Jedi can be force ghost, but sith can be immortal zombies except when they don't?

>>78014621
You don't know what Dathomirian-Zabrak biology is, anon. For all you know, the only organs Maul lost on Naboo was some skin and his dick.

>>78014247
Huh, who knew?

>>78014607
>A body can still be alive as long as the heart, lungs and brain are all still in tact and connected
Nope, you need nutrients to keep those organs alive, you need blood for that, and the blood has to be filtered by the kidneys or a similar organ. Maul didn't have any of that for 10 years, he even built himself legs that were actually yunk connected with the force (so he could levitate and do the same job?) no mechanism, engine or whatever

>>78014621
>People survive if they get proper treatment even after losing all their limbs and having 3rd degree burns
People don't survive after having their whole body incinerated and being abandoned there to rot for hours.
Nevermind the fact that the flames magically stopped by the time Sheev found him so he wasn't a pile of ash.

>>78014662
They're near humans that can mate with humans, similar biology is a must

Is Darth Maul, dare I say it, the greatest Sith?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgSI4lsWBoM

>>78014621
Dathomirian Zabraks are an already physically powerful race with a high tollerance to pain imbued by the dark force aura of the planet.
That plus the training with sidious and the fact that his wounds were cautherized by Obi's blade may have been enough to mantain him alive.
Eitherways in TPM maul is absolutelly ripped and when Savage finds him he is skin and bone and close to dying scavening in the ruins of the planet for some food.

>>78014742
They can have the same organs but that doesn't mean they are all in the same place within their bodies.

They actually do, is not impossible. People with 70%-80% and there's even a case of 98% their body with 3rd degree burns have survived (if you can call what comes next life).

Even if you think they don't survive is more credible than being 12 years without medical treatment without your lower body (including your organs).

Those two are just plain old Zabraks. They weren't from Dathomir like Maul. Also they didn't die from too much pain overload, they died from having their bodies stabbed with a burning light sword. Quite different.

>>78014755
Wouldn't you be pretty mad after all that?

>>78014609
It really just sounds like you're pissed that they revived a character that clearly died.

The fact is they made a non-character that was popular for being aesthetically pleasing into an actual character. It bothers you that this sort of populist thinking altered the importance of a bad character, I get it; it's just like how Boba Fett was meant to be nothing and then everybody needed to make him survive and turn him into something more interesting.

But his characterization is as legitimate as basically any in Star Wars, which is not saying much, but I don't see the problem. If you can get over the simple fact that he somehow lived, it makes perfect narrative sense that he WOULD be a character, he SHOULD have been one in the first place, and his place as one in those little 3D TV shows is for that reason plenty platable to introducing a new guy that we have zero relationship with thus far. We're never going to be able to CHANGE what happened in the first movie or somehow add new depth to that, you can't, there just wasn't enough there; nonetheless I can appreciate that his role was expanded in canon side material. Even if it is as a goat-legged half guy.

No you didn't. Tell me more about this

>>78014961
>The fact is they made a non-character that was popular for being aesthetically pleasing into an actual character. It bothers you that this sort of populist thinking altered the importance of a bad character, I get it
No, my issue is with the idea that it's an example of particularly smooth or interesting character "progression." By its very nature it isn't that whatsoever (there was hardly anywhere to build off and progress from) and its context being such a contrivance makes it hard to justify the invention. The plotlines Maul has been part of in TCW and Rebels have, for the most part, been solid. Does that really justify his revival, let alone qualify as quality character *progression*? I say no.

I agree that his characterization now is pretty good. That's not really my point of contention and never was, though.

>>78015175
>what is it with western animators and giving asian characters dyed hair. do they hate asian features or something?
Have you not seen a single anime ever? ASIAN people hate asian features, every other "asian" character has bright colored hair.

Sabine has dyed hair because Mandalorian culture boils down to two things; They're violent, and they're artistic. Obviously a Mandalorian tween girl will lean towards the artsy side of her culture.

western Asian characters look like Asa Akira with a dye streak

>>78015291
>Have you not seen a single anime ever?
Not in the slightless, average Japanese dislikes anime and manga, they only watch it when they're young teenagers and never look back when they grow
>ASIAN people hate asian features
Not really, there's something called Yamato Nadeshiko and they're crazy for it.

Also, most of their bright colored characters aren't even asian in the setting, see Edward and Alphonse, see Naruto (who isn't Asian by the setting he's in) in comparation to Sasuke (who is Asian in the setting). You also forget that they have to do that to differenciate one character from another because Asians tend to have similar hair color (from jet black to dark brown). Again, that doesn't mean they hate their Asian features, and again, try not to use manga as how they envision themselves or did you see how western cartoons portray their characters? does that mean we want to be talking shapeshifting dogs, and other crazy shit?

>>78015175

They all look the same, so they have to give the important asian characters some distinctive features.

Fuck off it should be the son of Pre-Vizla or someone equally edgy/badass. The mandalorians are the equivalent of space spartans and this little shit is going to be their leader?

fuck you disney, fucking SJWs ruin everything

>>78014418
>Is Disney actually trying to ruin this franchise or what?
The opposite. By putting this dumb shit in cartoons they ensure that it never reaches the movies and hurts the franchise among normal people.

>officially, it was always non-canon
Is not that easy, back then there was like G,T,C,S y N types of canon, 3 of them were like "canon canon" though George could change something whenever he felt it (see the "only a light saber can stop a light saber" even when then MagnaGuards in EIII have eletrostaffs that stop lightsabers) and the rest were "non canon", a lot of EU was under the first three

>>78016555
> a lot of EU was under the first three
No EU was under G, and that's why it was never canon nor did George consider EU canon, though he did take elements from EU and put them in the movie, making them canon.

>>78016450
>how do you know his bioligy is exactly like a humans?
Because it's said in the new canon (as was in the old) they're something called New Humans, they can mate with humans, they have pretty much our biology but for minor aesthetic changes.

No, Maul is obvious CGI go watch the prequels. He obviously gets cut in half at the end- you can't be cut in half in movies unless you are a CGI character. It's illegal to kill your actors in movies you know. I wouldn't expect someone as dumb as you to know that though.

I have perfect 20/20 vision, an IQ of 230 and I'm well trained in 14 different types of sword combat including styles from medieval europe, japan, the middle east and many others. I can tell you for a fact that maul's swordplay does not match his character or build in the movies- he is much to flourishing and refined for someone characterized as a brute beast. its obvious for anyone as intelligent as me to analyze his movement patterns and discern that he was just a CGI character, and since I have the sharpest memory (and sword) among probably all of the people of this planet, I specifically remember him being a different species of blue alien when I watched the phantom menace in the theatre.

Does this answer your question to satisfaction?

>>78016445
>The mandalorians are the equivalent of space spartans and this little shit is going to be their leader?
That's the death guard, mandalorians are pacifists faggets since forever, say bye bye to the conquering beasts ruled by Space Genghis that were in the old EU.

>>78016591
A lot of EU enters in C canon (known as continuity canon), sure it wasn't G canon (movies only and nothing else) but still was pretty canon, see clone wars show.

>>78016591
the point of EU was to create continuity within itself, not to rise to movie status.

it was nice when it happened occasionally, but that wasn't the point.

the point was shared universe between vidya / books / comics.

and the system wasn't too stupid either. definitely better than EVERYTHING IS SAME LEVEL OF CANON we have now.

>>78016748
Yea, but George gave no real fucks about anything but his movies, and made it pretty clear that everything else is a "parallel universe" to him.

>>78016673
yeah well now they're making it even worse. A little girl is about to be leader of mandalore what a fucking joke

Actually then slowly changed that, seems like you stopped watching CW around season 2, turns out Mandalorians were the conquering beast of the old EU, though not anymore the Mongolian like (Mongols adopted anyone who wanted to join their Empire while Mandalorians are now a pure race and only accept other Mandalorians in their ranks).

Pic related is canon depiction of the battle on the planet Gernika painted by the Master Jedi Pik As Oh.

>is also getting his own novel, written by his creator Timophy Zahn

pls be true

>>78016785
Not TCW. TCW was his and was given the tank of T-canon, second highest form of canon

>>78016824
If you'd watched the show, you'd know the Mandalorians are anything but pacifists

>>78016881
I don't care that they have women for warriors I care that a stupid little ebic meme XDDD GURRLLL POWWRRR shit with raimbow hair and stupid retarded ass hippy armor has the darksaber and is becoming leader of mandalore

It's absolutely true, google it

>>78016881
I don't mind women warriors, I do mind quirky and spiffy special snowflake mary sue multicolored hair paint artists as their leader

>>78016912
That's something TCW fans tell themselves, but he just made the cartoon to keep the franchise going. He didn't consider it on the level of movies either, which is why they made it T rather than G.

And his involvement is overstated, he didn't write a damn thing nor read the scripts, just threw ideas at the writers and approved/vetoed what they did. And this is from the writers themselves.

>>78016884
Also canonized: Whills

Is this canon or a joke?
I just can't tell anymore.

>>78014621

that's where your argument fails. You presume Zabrak biology is exactly like human biology just because he has a human actor portray him. Darth Maul's species might have redundant organs and super coagulating. He might even be a hivemind colony of microscopic xenomorphs for all we know.

>>78016914
No, anon.
There were 2 factions.
The Satyne supporters which believed in a neutral status of peace and non-violence digressing from their warmonger past.

And then there was the mandalorians who lived on the satellite moon of the planet named Death Watch, being Pre Vizsla the head of the organization.
They enforced, or tried to, a resurface of Mandalore's past as a warrior culture.

>>78016914
what? they only had rogue military faction led by Vizla, the general populace was under Duchess pacifist regime.

>>78016971
Yep. They could have convinced me to watch the show purely for the mandalore storyline- if the character wasn't pure leftist garbage

actually fine as an idea, especially useful for vidya settings

also the ending was kinda anti-climatic if I recall correctly? he was killed by his own bodyguard or something like that?

>>78017279
I don't really focus on Sabine but the whole crew.
Clone Wars featured actual characters previously created by Lucasarts in different stories that made us know more about them.
>kit fisto
>plo koon

Characters you'd only knew about if you have been reading the wikies.
In Rebels, though, they seem to have forced a group of le ebin cartoon characters with no relevance whatsoever interacting with the actual characters of SW.

Let me put it into easier terms, CW was a good series and Rebels feels like a MMORPG where you customize your character in the SW universe.

Should I read the Thrawn trilogy books or comics?

>>78014621
That's not even considering the fact he fell into a bottomless pit, he should have gone splat.

>>78017390
see >>78017062
When TCW writers wanted to introduce a weapon like the magnaguard's staff George went all autismo and said only lightsabers can stop lightsabers and anything beyond that is non canon shit (he didn't say shit though, that was to add more dramatism to the sentence), so technically they stopped being canon till George sold SW to Disney

different anon with "opinion" on Rebels.

to give some property "that Star Wars feel", each new entry introduces new millennium falcon with new crew.

(I only noticed it in KOTOR first, but it wasn't as often back then, because EU re-used the movie characters).

But now, you are asking me to
> Here's the new "crew" of rag-tag funky characters (and a droid) - TFA
> Here's the new "crew" of rag-tag funky characters (and a droid) - R1

Mandalorian where powerful conqueror in the Legends and in the official canon.

They used to be a third faction at the same level of the Jedis, Sith and Republic during the old republic time.

They could fight sith and jedi even without the connection to the force.
