Darth Maul is back (Officially)

[darthfoster]

We had a s chance to see the episode at the Pre-Screen event "Maul Returns" in San Fransisco/Presidio. It's definitely different than what I expect and actually really like it. Awesome episode :)

Ok who saw part 1 tonight? LOVED IT!! I wanna see part 2 now. If I don't I may go Darth Maul crazy.........

"Through victory my chains are broken...the chains...the chains are the easy part...it's what goes on in here that's hard...AHHHHHHHH....JEDI!!!!!!!"

I didn't like it. I would prefer to remember Darth Maul as the awesome [phantom] menacing Sith Lord that Ray Park portrayed him as...now hes reduced to a weak demented pathetic cyborg arachnid?

"Spider-Maul" is just... ...sad...

Oh and how did Obi-Wan even know his name anyway? I just saw TPM 3D yesterday so I'm quite certain that at no point did Maul ever say his name to QGJ or OWK and no one else ever said it to them...at one point QGJ suggests to the Council that he must be a Sith Lord because of his training and Yoda refers to him as a "Dark warrior" and at the end Yoda and Mace wonder if the Sith have returned whether he was the Master or the Apprentice but they clearly don't know his name. Maybe they could assume he was Darth-something but how would they know the second part was "Maul"?

On the knowing it was Darth Maul part, maybe they got the name out of the Viceroy? They were told the name by Sidious. But as for bringing him back to life, and the Clone Wars series as a whole... No thank you. George Lucas hasn't made a good movie since Return of the Jedi was finished, as far as I am concerned.

[Onli-Won Kanomi]

Your right that Sidious told the Neimodians the name "Darth Maul" but Nute Gunray also knew the name "Darth Sidious" yet even in AOTC [and maybe ROTS] the Jedi Council didn't know that name so clearly Gunray didnt give up Sidious' name so why would he give them Maul's? If he was plea-bargaining he'd rat out the bigger fish to get more favourable terms but if he'd done that then Yoda and Mace wouldnt be wondering which was the Master...and if he didnt rat on Sidious he wouldnt gain anything giving up Maul's name.

I'm not terribly happy with bringing Maul back but I could accept it if he wasn't made to look weak. Why? Just so Daddy's Little Girl's creation Oppress can seem more impressive? Yuk.

I am really disappointed with this...  I mean...  What the xxx was that?

That's not Darth Maul...  That's... something else, something worse than Jar Jar.

[Green Ranger]

That episode was for a lack of better words. Disappointing. Would have been better if he had been in solitude meditating and focusing in his rage CALMLY with an already layed out plan to take down Obi-wan. I don't foresee the next episode being any better.

I didn't mind it, it is a cartoon after all. A television series needs to adapt and be watchable by a variety of age dynamics. A Darth Maul with 2 robotic legs or 6.. does it really matter? I think it's a interesting spin on the character. Sure they could have gone in a different direction, but it is what it is. Enjoy it :)

anyone else notice it was written by katie lucas?

[Onli-Won Kanomi]

Not only noticed but noted Wedge.

More of my opinion on Katie's...um...'writing'...on the "Will Anakin's Padawan Die" thread.

I truly dread the thought that when George kicks the bucket SW may end up in Katie's 'creative' hands.  :(

I don't know... In the interview with Oprah he said he does not give his kids anything and has no plans to give them anything... If they want something they can work for it like he did....

[WEDGE ANTILLES]

ironic.    considering the hundreds of artists (thousands?)whose "work" he's actually referring to.    ::) (he didn't do it all by himself)

So very true  :-X

If it werent for his buddies loaning him the money, he wouldnt have been able to be where he is he today

Right...and he'll give Katie control of Star Wars in his will because of all his kids she is the one who "worked for it" most writing all of those Clone Wars episodes...and Katie will promptly turn Star Wars into magic-fantasy dreck with witches and wizards and spells and voodoo dolls and almost WORSE 'stuff' like spider-borg Sith Lords?

Spider-Maul,
Spider-Maul,
didn't die from a mile fall
Spins no webs,
has crazy laugh,
'cuz Obi-Wan cut him in half...

etc ad nauseum...

...ICK...Unca George must really HATE Star Wars a lot since he apparently wants to let Daddy's Little Girl's dimwitted hack-work DESTROY it...
