Maul’s story left off with the comic Son of Dathomir. What has he
been up to since then? “Following the Clone War, Maul has had it tough,”
co-executive producer Henry Gilroy explains. “Really he had to go into
hiding if he wanted to survive.”
There was much debate about whether Maul should return at all in
Star Wars Rebels. Executive producer Dave Filoni points out, “So many
people invested time into Clone Wars, in that story and that character
and it was unresolved.”
How has Maul changed? Andi asks Sam Witwer, voice of the Sith
himself. “He has a level of sincerity now, that he maybe didn’t have
before.”
“Maul is obsessed with legacy. He’s come to the realization that
he’s the last of his particular kind,” Pablo Hidalgo adds. “We had an
earlier version of the script where Ahsoka asked Maul who Vader is, and
his response is simply, 'Who I should have been,’” Henry Gilroy
explains.
We also get more details on Kanan's unfortunate fate from show creators and voice of Kanan Jarrus, Freddie Prinze Jr.
In this week’s fan question segment, Andi asks our resident coffee
connoisseur Pablo Hidalgo about the difference between a Jedi that’s
fallen to the dark side and a Sith. We also find out the species of our
newest Inquisitor.
Enjoy!
