Also this Darth Maul thing implies that the movies aren't shy about referencing events that only occurred in Clone Wars or Rebels (in this case, Maul's survival). Meaning characters like Ezra and Ahsoka are free game to show up.

People that only watch the movies are going to be so confused.

[up] I dunno, Maul coming back was fairly big news, and Rebels only furthered his presence.

I guess another potential worry I would have is how Maul thinks about being a crime boss, cause iirc h was pretty singularly motivated by a desire to kill Palpatine

This is more evidence that Maul is without a doubt the most popular/awesome character of the entire prequel trilogy right?

[up] I'd say it's a mix of being popular/awesome and his original appearance feeling wasted in terms of potential.

[up][up][up]That is actually a problem addressed-the underworld signed up for Rape, Pillage, and Burn, but they got chewed up as Cannon Fodder for what they view as a blood feud-a big part of the reason they leave.

[up][up][up] No, it just shows that Filoni worked on both and has his pet characters.

[up][up][up][up] The vast majority of movie-goers have neither seen, nor heard of either of those shows. Heck, most Star Wars fans only have a passing knowledge of them (the extent that they exist, mostly). Trust me, there's gonna be a lot of confused people when it comes to Darth Maul. Assuming he exist.

[up] Why do so many people seem to think that being used a lot by the writers is enough to make a character a Creator's Pet? They need to be hated by the fanbase too.

Oh God! Natural light!

Especially since he's not even working on the movie.

What kind of bullshit is that?

[up] Yeah, ya have to be widely hated to qualify for one.

[up][up][up]Very true. However, assuming the cameo is real (and it's looking more likely by the second), it shows that Lucasfilm doesn't care if people are confused.

Name's a bit misleading in that regard.

Except he did work on the film; he was head visual consultant and assisted during the writing stage. Guy's been teasing on his twitter that he "left something personal in the film" for months now. Assuming Maul is in fact in the film, I think we can guess what he's referring to.

Though you're correct, I did use that term incorrectly. Creator's Favorite would be more appropriate.

Yeah can we double check that we're properly tagging our spoilers? I'm sure there are some people who don't want this spoiled.

I legit have no idea what that is. I'm assuming it's Darth Plagueis. Yes, yes, I'm sure that it's Darth Plagueis.

[up][up]It's supposedly Darth Maul. Which, if this is a real image, going by the other leaks that accompanied it means that he's the man behind the man of the whole movie.

So, so far it seems the general consensus is So Okay, It's Average. Which isn't a consensus I ever expected a Star Wars movie to have. >.>
