We know nothing of his alien physiology. He could be like a worm. There are now two mauls, one originally the top, the other bottom. They are probably lovers.

    Neither confirming or denying: that may be the plot line of the recent maul series on Disney+

    It’s also the plot in a couple of legends and canon books too.

    People like to bash the palpatine coming back, but it’s actually a well thought out storyline in the books. A lot of stuff gets lost between the books and the movies though, the whole episode 3 book has a totally different feel than the movie. A whole arc is missing about why he’s so mad to not get the rank of master.

    Palpatine was telling Anakin the Jedi masters had the secret to eternal life and it would save padme.

    We're talking about the two halves of Maul being lovers, right?

    Right?

    Hrmm I don’t think I’ve gotten to that story yet. But anything is possible.

    People bash Palpatine coming back because it was not well thought out in the movies. They could have set it up easily in the PT what with all the allusions to the Force being able to be used to influence life and death. Then you have two movies in ST to play with before a big reveal in the final film. But unfortunately all the trilogies were too disconnected from each other, with the ST being too disconnected within itself.

    Palpatine being back wasn't even revealed first in the movies, it was revealed in a Fortnite event of all places. Absolutely crazy choice of marketing.

    People want action, and there was enough politics too, adding in “plot armor” force transfer would be too much talking and not enough slicing.

    I get why it’s not there, most of the information IS there, just not spelled out, it’s even scrambled if you would.

    Machinery in the Star Wars universe seems to be aware to an extent. Why? What’s the threshold? If I just build a head is that enough? If I just build a torso, is that enough? What about Luke’s cybernetic arm? It seemed to act of its own volition on a couple of occasions.

    There’s an issue with cross pollination, too. Maul’s upper half was attached to a crawler droid and he thought he was some cave spider. 3PO’s head was on a battle droid body and he started developing a bloodlust for combat.
