darth maul returning is so fucking stupid.

somebody at disney clearly really likes darth maul. they resurrected the guy after he literally got sliced in half at the belly button and fell thousands of feet into a pit. you dont get more dead than that! but no. you are telling me mace windu cant survive getting his hands cut off and falling out of a window? why not? if maul can survive being sliced in half, the far more powerful windu could survive something that happened to both luke and anakin. hell, why not bring dooku back? sure he got his head sliced off, but they could just attach it back with robot technology. is it stupid? duh, but so is bringing maul back to life just for fanboy service. everyone shits on bringing palpatine back, which yeah that is so so dumb, but so is bringing back maul for the same reason.

He had been alive in the "Clone Wars" TV show, which also seemed pretty stupid.

But hey, there he is in all this officially canonical shit, so I assume that his species can regenerate like a starfish or Deadpool. Pull of a starfish's leg or a lizard's tail and they'll grow a new one, blast Deadpool into a billion little pieces but leave his head, and he grows an entire new body. So I assume that Maul's species can grow new legs and a new wiener if they're sliced in half, because, well. What the hell else could it be.

The bottom half of his body is cybernetic. He didn’t grow anything back.

How do you know?

Because it's actually easier to believe that an alien species could regenerate like a starfish, than that the cybernetics people can replace all the vital organs that'd be lost if they had to discard everything from the waist on down.

I know because I have watched Clone Wars.

What the other guy said. He didn't regenerate.

That said, I thought he died again, and then the timeline doesn't even match up.

[–] specterkev (117) 3 years ago

He died just before a New Hope. Solo takes place before the point he died facing kenobi

[–] acidraindrop (3055) 3 years ago

ohhhh okay gotcha. I thought it was just a shameless inclusion.

[–] Pete314 (3040) 3 years ago

He died long before Luke was born. How old is Han supposed to be?

Wow clearly someone didn't know that Darth maul was revealed to be alive several years before this movie ever came out

[–] FFNogoodnik (775) 3 years ago

wow? How many people watched the clone wars? not as many as watched the films. So therefore it would make sense that there would be many people, including myself, who did not know anything about Clone Wars.

wow clearly someone didn't know that bringing him back in a stupid kids show is not the same as bringing him back in a $200 million studio blockbuster.

[–] Otter (24464) 3 years ago

"Clone Wars" is definitely not a stupid kids show. It's a stupid nerd's show!

No, it's not. It's actually pretty good, with some interesting plots and grownup themes, and apart from the stiff character animation it looks pretty spectacular. I missed a lot of episodes during its original run, and I've watched the whole shebang again on Disney Plus while home with the damn broken leg.

I had this as a plot hole

Although it was known that he was still alive well before this film. His appearance was stupid and the worst part of the film, especially when he pulls and starts his lightsaber for no purpose at all because he is a hologram.
