Darth Maul returns.

Spring 2012 Darth Maul will appear on the clone wars, sickly and skinnier than ever.
Kind of annoying that it takes away Obi-wan's achievement of being the first to kill a sith lord in a thousand years, but i'm still looking forward to it.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Although he can returned in the comics, I dunno if this is considered canon or not but he returned with metal legs and tried to kill Luke (or someone) but kenobi defeated him and Owen shot his brains out. Was set obviously between Ep 3 and 4?
Far from canon.
It's from Star Wars: Visionaries. It was just a collection of short stories from concept artists who worked on the prequels. They would conceive a concept drawing and write from there. The Darth Maul story is a major "what-if".

Preview of Maul's return. Looks like his time in exile has made him a bit crazy...
I guess they based his look on the infinities story line where he survises and attacks Obi-Wan on Tatooine:

I'm not sure about the year, but it's part of the Star Wars Visionaries comic(s), which was some sort of 'what if scenario'. It was hardly meant as canon, but I can imagine it's just another step on the road of recycling pre-existing EU material (the Zygerian arc, the battle between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren and so on).
They will have to make it convincing.
IMO his survival should be to do with either Nightsister magic, or something related to what Sidious told Anakin about how the Force can be used to stop people from dying.
That would be cool. What will be really bad is if he's just been stitched up with Mechanical legs like in that Visionary comic.
Anyway we'll find out in a few weeks. Im pretty excited so Im hoping Il stay that way while watching it and not crying instead!

I would agree but in Darth Maul Shadow Hunter iirc he's more versed in the lightsaber and assassin kind of skills. So I doubt he could do a trick of that level with the force. I'm not saying hes terrible at it just not as well trained as some.
I just meant that as the method of him being alive/resurrected. I didn't say it will be all down to him performing the miracle himself.
Like I also mentioned Nightsister magic could be involved.
Im just hoping anyway. He's probably gna show up with Metal legs and arms, and everyone shouting "OH COME ON!!"

I dont think he will show up in the next episode.
Probably not till the last 2.. Can tell by the names "Brothers" and "Revenge"..
But I think I wnt watch any of them now until all 4 are out so I can watch them together.
Might avoid these boards for a month so I dnt get spoilers Lol
