@Luke:  ST? Really?  I don't even know you anymore.

The only ST item in my house is a communicator pin.  It would require a new thread to list everything in my house that is SW.  I have nor will I ever attend a trek convention nor would I dress up.  I am soon to apply to the RL as Jedi night Kamin Ressik.(subtle nod to STNG with the name) ;)

As for the topic of maul.  I would much rather him be cloned.....sigh.....than return from near death.  I just hate is when writers kill off characters to get the drama and higher ratings only to yank the rug from under you and later say they lived.  :-\
For the record I wouldn't really be happy with a bunch of DM clones running around.

It seems likely that, judging by the presence of long horns on his head in the short glimpse that we have of him in the presentation of Clone Wars Season 4, it will either be a Visionaries-style cyborg Darth Maul or a somehow (how??) regenerated but aging Maul (I do not know if it is only a faulty impression caused by the rendering of his traits in 3D animation, but his face seems to be gaunt and slightly elongated):



You can find a clear capture of his head and face here:

http://fashionnaction.blogspot.com/2011/10/its-all-about-maul-star-wars-episode-i.html

Anyway, there are only three possibilities: 1/Darth Maul returning as a cyborg ("he is more machine than Zabrak now"  ::) :-\  hum! ) ; 2/Darth Maul being revived as a clone of the original; 3/ Darth Maul as a ghost emanating from  the darkest planes of the Netherworld of the Force, and being summoned by the Night Sisters or other malicious force-practitioners (remember that he is first seen through a kind of strange crystal ball/sphere...).

Not sure if im happy about him resurfacing. Dont get me wrong Maul is one of, if not the coolest SW character, Im just hoping his personality is at least similar to what its like in TPM. Focused, intense and lets his actions speak for himself.

Pretty sure this will be the one chance that Lucas will have to show Sidious' love for Cloning. Take it to the bank

Well if this is any indicator I do not think I will approve of the Darth Maul return.

They seem to have turned the silent, deadly, mysterious sith into a psychotic maniac, why must they change what already worked? This feels like a dumbed down version of Maul from TPM.

i don't know.. I was disapointed with tpm for killing him off so quick. no back story on the character no insight into the personality of this particular sith. i am kind of excited to finally get this. and that preview, the anger displayed is kind of what i imagined and expected. now I really want to know what drives it. what darkness lies in his past? what pushed him over the proverbial edge? i mean aside from Obi, lol. I would like to see the rise of darth maul, and how he came to be.

they break the rule in the Darth Plagueis story... Sidious is training Maul while he is the apprentice of Plagueis...

Also 5 seasons has always been the plan... 100 episodes is the line that needs to be crossed for all the TV rerun rights and payouts to kick in...

There's usually a sith in training before there is only 2. There are a lot of sith in training character in the cw. I guess you can only count dooku and sidious as sith. Sidious refers to opress and ventress as 'assassins' a lot during the series.

Those assassins aren't Sith those are 'Dark Jedi'. The Rule Of Two doesnt prevent Sith from using henchmen [or in Ventress case henchwitch er henchwoman] or even using Force-using henchmen or training them as Dooku did Ventress it just means they are not true Sith, not inducted into the deeper Mysteries of the Sith Order [no need-to-know] and have no claim of succession to Sith 'titles' if their Lord was killed. Thus there is no advantage for a Dark Jedi underling to try to assassinate their Sith master since they can't replace them - this helps keep them loyal or at least removes one incentive for betrayal. A Dark Jedi might hope that if they showed particular competency skill and success and were loyal and useful they might be considered for Sith training if an opening arose but it would be a slim hope...not one any smart person would think worth going up against a fully trained Sith Lord for.
To DREAM the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. To FIGHT the unbeatable foe. To BEAR with unbearable sorrow. To RUN where the brave dare not go. To RIGHT the unrightable wrong. To LOVE, PURE AND CHASTE, FROM AFAR [-sigh-]. To TRY, when your arms are too weary; to REACH the unreachable Star!... This is my Quest; To follow that Star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far...

The way I see it, Darth Maul died in TPM.  And Boba Fett died in ROTJ.  The only reason Lucas is resurrecting the character is because he knows fans love him and wants to justify selling products with Darth Maul's face all over them.  I personally never understood why people loved Fett or Maul so much.  They had cool costumes/ weapons which explains why so many people costume as them, but that's about all.  Not much in the way of character development in the films.

There are some subtle new visual clues of what Darth Maul will look like when he "comes back" in the new season of Clone Wars, and.....it seems that it is the cyborg option that is favored: it is neither a clone nor a ghost, he is older, mentally insane, he has the long gloves and the minerva that are those visible in Old Wounds, and I think that you can have a brief glimpse of his cyborg half (hips and legs) if you pause at the right time during the video presentation.
