As Total Warrior mentioned: the lightsaber was just a blatant way to show viewers it was indeed Maul, and not just another criminal boss or w/e. Keep in mind, casual viewers(that is to say, those who've never watched any SW media outside the primary films) would have absolutely NO idea that Maul was 'resurrected', and running most of the criminal underworld in the timeframe Solo is set... As far as they are concerned, he died way back in TPM.

So as I'm sure you can imagine, his cameo has cause quite a bit of outrage across the interweb... People just don't understand why/how the dude is still randomly alive, and why/how he's in charge of all the baddies, lol. That said, I would imagine the episodes of TCW and Rebels that center around Maul will receive a spike in viewership in the next few weeks. /shrug
I bet they wish they didn't kill him now, or treat him like shit

Ah i thought the red mandalorian armor was from Deathwatch. But I guess it's from the old republic era. Pretty cool that his desk is a Sith tablet tho. thx for that!


yeah i guess that makes sense for Maul. Still trying to figure out the timeline though. Solo takes place like 8 years after ROTS. how the heck does maul still have control of the criminal underworld? does he still control mandalore also?

He also has a reconstructed Sith Holocron in his treasury:

After the events of Son of Dathomir(set just before RotS), Maul still controlled the Pykes, Black Sun, Dathomir, and Mandalore, and merged them all into a singular organization he called 'The Shadow Collective'.

In the Ahsoka novelization, Ahsoka confronted Maul on Mandalore just as Palpatine commenced Order 66. Maul escaped in the ensuing chaos, but ultimately lost Mandalore to the Empire.

Between the events of RotS and the Solo film, Maul has evidently gone back to his station as a boss in the criminal underworld, and reorganized the Shadow Collective into 'Crimson Dawn' -- and he evidently runs things from Dathomir. Unknown if Crimson Dawn is still an amalgamation of the Pykes, Black Sun, etc., but it is still a vast/powerful organization nonetheless.

Between the events of Solo and Rebels, Maul either lost(or flat-out abandoned) his position in the criminal underworld, and travelled to Malachor in order to obtain a weapon that would allow him to defeat Vader/Palpatine... And he remained stranded on the world for years(?), unable to unleash the 'Sith-super-weapon', until Ezra(and co.) ventured there in Season 2.

In the movie its mentioned the Crimson Dawn have a fragile alliance with the Pykes, so they at least are no longer in it.

Anyway, very intrigued to see where they go with this.

Very nice.. now i just have to wonder WHOSE holocron that is? Is that mentioned anywhere?

See thats the part of Mauls timeline i hope the fleshout. How did he lose his position? He seems to have massive power and authority in this movie, so i'm surprised if he;d just give that up. And how did he even know about the Sith temple on malachor? Assuming he may have studied ancient Sith texts and what not.?

I don’t understand why they released it when they did. Might have performed better if there was a single shred of hype, but how do you hype a film before infinity war? A month is not enough time to bring the hype from the ground up either...

All we know is that Dryden has a restored Holocron in his collection(that he is willing to sell.) No clue whose it is... Could be Maul's for all we know. /shrug

It is unlikely that Maul would just willingly give up his station without a fight. That said, he was clearly familiar with the Inquisitors and Vader during Rebels("I cannot defeat Vader alone", etc.), so I wouldn't be surprised if they had already fought at some point before Maul went to Malachor... That would explain why he was no longer running the criminal underworld in the Rebels era, and why he went into hiding/fled to Malachor in the first place.

No, it's because Maul had been there before:

The Darth Maul bit was obvious fanservice, but still it shows that Disney at least acknowledges their own canon. You would think they would be afraid to put someone like him in a movie, since the general audience (who these films are mainly aimed at) believed Maul died for real in Phantom Menace.
So in a way I am sort of impressed with Disney, eventhough their last few films haven't been that "great".

Yeah. That is why I didn't pay to get in.

Was really easy seeing as how the theater was over three quarters Empty.
