Hm. I don't remember the darksaber being mentioned in the novel. The novel did mention Maul using a lightsaber, though. /shrug
I think their lightsaber battle could very well culminate with Ahsoka 'capturing' Maul, only for Maul to escape soon after when Order 66 is commenced and the battle goes sideways. /shrug
In the time between SoD and Solo, Maul lost *some* control over the crime syndicates, but he was still a HUGE player in the criminal underworld. In the time between Solo and Rebels, however, he'd lost *all* control over the crime syndicates, and ended up stranded on Malachor. I'd definitely like to get some backstory on the latter... Wtf happened to him? Very doubtful that he just gave up all that power willingly. /shrug

^ My Ahsoka Novel has disappeared from my IBooks and isnt available presently, so cant check.
Perhaps Maul was just stranded for a very long time? But youre right, wouldn’t make sense why he wouldnt go straight back to his crime syndicate. So something must have happened.
^ Yeah something must have happened. Im guessing something along the lines of the Empire wanting to form closer ties to the Underworld, and stamping Maul out. As they were hunting him in Rebels.
Apprarently they brought Ray Park back for motion capture for the Maul duel scenes. Surely they didn't spend that much money to get Ray Park back only to have him be wrecked by Ahsoka?
I mean, continuity wise, she really shouldnt be winning, or Maul would be very stupid to so confidently betray both Ahsoka and Kanan in Rebels. Plus his line - Running AGAIN Lady Tano- suggests she fled from him the first time.
But we shall see if Filoni gives 2 craps about that.
why not just complete the show the way feloni intended? Clone Wars is by far the most loved thing disney has off al their material. What benefit is there, commercial or otherwise, to an abridged conclusion?
why not just do all the original scripts? Son of Dathomir, Dark Disciple, Ahsoka's rebellion, the LOE inspiration

So I might be the minority in thinking this, but now that a lot of time has passed. Does anyone else feel different about TCW and how it holds up?
I mean don't get me wrong, some arcs were done well. But I feel like those were few and far between and a lot of the action and battles. I wasn't feeling them, again some exceptions, but really the most notable one being the 501st vs Pong Krell.
Perhaps the final season will be different who knows. It's just, re-thinking about TCW I didn't feel the WARS part of it ya know?
I mean yeah it is, speaking of the animation looking back on it. I realize that I don’t really like it. But then I only just realized this after seeing Rebels and the first episodes of Resistance, wasn’t big on the animation there either.
I mean it’s not bad I guess, just not my cup of tea.
I personally really enjoyed my weekly Clone Wars. To the point where I didnt really need a new Trilogy, especially not if Lucas continued to do animations set in different time periods.
Even loved the first season of Rebels, and enjoyed the second season. Then that show just lost the plot. And Resistance... just... eww.
Yeah I felt 6 movies were enough, why people wanted more...no clue, then look what happened...talk about being shot in the foot. All other aspects were doing fine. I just felt like TCW was too small in battle scope to focus on character arcs, which is fine don't get me wrong but there's a huge war going on ya know? They could do both.
This isn't to say I didn't enjoy it at the time, so who knows maybe the final season will change my perspective again.
I think TCW was great because it added SO much depth to not only the characters themselves, but the entire mythos. Obviously some arcs were much better than others, but you're going to get that with any show, I guess. I have a feeling S7 is going to be pretty dark, so I'm expecting good things from it as well. /shrug
Where Rebels is concerned, it obviously started off a LOT stronger than it ended. But as a whole, I liked it more than I disliked it.
Resistance is a steaming pile of crap, though. How it was renewed for another season I have no clue.
