the CW is for the younger generation.   when most of us saw darth maul getting cut in half in TPM we said "lame CGI" -- when a toddler sees it, he's horrified -- he looks up with big brown eyes and says .." did he REALLY die, daddy?"   

for these people, we have "cartoons" that show how darth maul survived and became something ridiculous and borderline "funny" -- so now we can say to our horrified children "...no, son.  he didn't REALLY die.  watch the cartoon.   he survived being cut in half and being thrown down a bottomless pit -- he can survive anything -- he's just like Wile.E.Coyote"

and they buy it ;)

Just my 2c but I like how mail came back, the fact that he a brother and stuff no, but if you read the book about mauls apprenticeship it is conceivable he could survive~remember a lightener caaturises the wound~and he survived some pretty intense stuff before~what I don't like was sateen~where did she come from?!either bant or siri should have been obis interest~

I think the purpose of Obi's relationship with Sateen was partly to show how much of an arrogant self-righteous SNOB that Obi-Wan became during the CW era...it also adds subtext to the whole insidious [pun intended] suspicions Palpatine tried to plant in Anakin's mind that Obi-Wan and Padme were having an affair [the reason for Ani's "Your WITH HIM now" rant in ROTS and made clearer as part of Palpatine's deceptions in the novelization]] if Anakin knows because of Obi's relationship with Duchess Sateen that Obi likes to 'date UP' and thinks that he is good enough for Royalty...something that Anakin coming from 'humble' background as a former slave had a bit of an inferiority-complex doubts about Padme which Palpatine/Sidious could use against him, and did.

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...

Now that I see it that way you have a very good point~

Oh another this I liked was that we got to see palpatiene duel the way he's supposed to!awesomely! Unlike the pathetic movie cg and old fart swinging~

Well this very topic is whats up at Disney/LF, as discussions are now up as to what in the EU is to become an official piece of the canon whilst the chop be thrown out the window as Disney/LF make the jump to the true unification of those wonderful tales from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

April 29 update:
its official, the six films, clone wars series, and all star wars properties moving forward after and including rebels, will be canon.

I'm very late to the party but I've been watching clone wars for the first time via a netflix binge watch.

A lot of people are questioning how Maul could survive his injury and fall.  I'd like to point out he isn't human, so why are we holding him to human standards when it comes to survivability?  You can cut an earth worm in half and the part with the head will survive, for example.  Also, like someone else pointed out, the heat from the lightsaber would cauterize the wound, improving chances of survival.

Also, they let Luke survive a fall like that (in Ep. V), granted... he was nearly whole when he fell (sans a hand). So maybe that is where the logic came from.

Hopefully they won't use the same plot device of falling down a chasm and surviving with Palpatine in episode VII. Plus the chasm he fell down was subsequently destroyed along with the rest of the deathstar II, kinda making a bit of an impossible stretch that he'd survive. Plus Maul didn't explode into blue energy when he fell either, and nor did Luke.

Maybe... lol... BUT.... Windu did get ZAPPED with like thirty-five gabillion volts of Force eccentricity so maybe he was knocked out at the time he fell out the window and hit a hovertrain going 300 mph and it would have been 'splat' for him. After all, he didn't have any Annakorn apprentices flying a jet car underneath to save him.

I can see that.
however, If you compare the two (Skywalker and Windu) one was a seasoned Master and one was a barely trained Padawan.
I just don't see how, unless he was unconscious. I believe He would have been able to survive.

Well, I've always fantasized at hearing an old man Windu tale, the old hermit who lives in the bowels and refuse of Imperial Coruscant, playing basically a Robin Hood role for the people of the under-city.

BTW, with TCW becoming canon, is the micro-series accounted for also? As we never got the 7th and 8th seasons of TCW, I like to bookend Vol. 1 at the front of the series following AOTC, with Vol. 2 following the Lost Missions into ROTS (even though vol. 2's opening scenes pre-dates the Battle of Christophsis, it soon goes through a timeline transition to the waning weeks of the Clone Wars right before ROTS).

I don't consider the "second" clone wars series canon,one simple reason Darth Maul alive? wtf, if he could live after getting sliced into two then qui gon jinn could of survived from a stab wound,ohh now lets give him a brother and make him a force sensitive as well,come on, i thought they could do better than that  :(

also how can people hate the prequels when they should be hating on the clone wars(2),not even my little sister could watch it and she loved anakin
I agreed..
