/sw/ - Star Wars★

it was a bit disappointing tbh. at the same time, it was totally in the obi-wan style of fucking shit up with just one swing.

5/10 wish it had lasted longer and stayed more faithful to the comic.

>bring Darth Maul back from the dead just to have him be killed by the same guy already killed him

>effectively making his rebirth pointless and literally nothing more than a way for them to avoid creating new characters and doing anything original

BRAVO, DISNEY!

I'm assuming it's down his chest

>>1686

normally i'd jump on that train as well, but old wounds predates disney. the only thing original here is ezra, the lack of crazy cybernetic legs, overgrown horns and uncle owen.

Maul's story went on a little long. I prefer Obi-Wan getting the kill shot than any of the Jedi originating in the cartoons, though I guess they missed a chance for a Vader duel inspired by another good comic.

I hope Sam Witwier gets some Sheev time considering that they renewed this show for a 4th season.

IIRC they avoided Vader vs. Maul because they thought that was too much fanservice

>>1689

Or to original, its pretty much verbatim from the Expanded Universe comics. They're just lazy in the stories they create or Disney doesn't leave any freedom, probably that one.

>>1689

"Too much fanservice" strikes me as specious considering how many nostalgic callbacks Rebels has used. I suppose they might be trying to take things more in their own direction as the series goes on, but I don't think Rebels is meant to last indefinitely like Clone Wars.

>>1691

When you see Obi-Wan cradling his body there's smoke coming from his chest. As for why we can't see it, because Disney

Qui-Gon lays in Obi-Wan's arms, slain by Darth Maul. He tells his padawan to train Anakin because he is the chosen one.

Maul lays in Obi-Wan's arms, killed (again) by his old foe. He asks if the chosen one truly exists and dies happy, knowing the Sith that betrayed him will be destroyed once and for all.

That was decent pottery

shoulder down chest, across heart with the tip of the blade.

He pretty much vivisected him.

>>1687

Old Wounds was Star Wars tales, it wasn't anymore canon than Skippy the Jedi Droid.

chest kill confirmed

>Maul charges, delivering two attacks that Kenobi blocks, then goes to stun his opponent with a blow from his hilt. It’s the same move he used on Qui-Gon in The Phantom Menace, but it doesn’t work here. Whether it’s because he’s seen it before, or he’s a better sword fighter now, or both, Kenobi slices through the hilt --- and Maul’s chest.
