Originally posted by MendaxI think it was a way to show to those who didn’t recognize him, or weren’t sure it was him, that he is a sith. For instance my friend who watched the movie with me didn’t remember who he was at all (despite having watched EP1 years ago), but at least when he ignited his lightsaber he understood this guy wasn’t a random alien smuggler like he thought at first and asked me why there was a Sith that was not vader or Sidious on screen, so I reminded him about Maul
Did you guys notice any Easter eggs in Dryden's office? There were a lot of relics- figure some of them were there for a reason lol.as for Maul- i'm glad they used his voice from TCW and Rebels. it fits him nicely. What was with him randomly igniting the saber though?

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 hope you lackluster Star Wars fans are happy with yourselves who did not go support the film.

We shouldn't support shit. Your ticket is your vote if you don't buy it forces Disney to make better movies.
Originally posted by DarthSkywalker0I agree but this film wasn’t shit. It was decent to me and I do want Kennedy gone but there were lots of Star Wars duds for me but I still want the brand to thrive. I didn’t like attack of the clones but I got revenge of the Sith afterwards. I don’t like the weird announcements and lack of direction so I do hope that changes. But I still want more Star Wars and it’ll always depend on the director and the script. Leadership needs to change. Filoni.

Originally posted by DarthSkywalker0When I love a brand I will go to see it to judge for myself. Solo is decent and isn’t trash. I also felt the Last Jedi was amazing and lots of people disagreed with me. Only positive thing I’ll take from this is hopefully something happens to kennedy.
As long as Disney has the franchise, there will be more Star Wars. The question becomes what type of Star Wars do we want. If Disney creates a movie which is excellent, we should then go to the theater to support their product.
I enjoy the brand as much as anyone, but I'm not going to pay to see a film that I have absolutely NO interest in, like Solo. I have never wanted to see a film about a young Han Solo anymore than I've wanted to see a film about a young Indiana Jones... Some stories just don't need to be told, imho. /shrug
Regardless, Kathleen Kennedy needs to go away. That woman is the worst thing that's happened to the franchise since Kenobi's beard in AotC. 👇
