I haven't really followed the Star Wars animated series, so I had to look up how Maul has legs now
quote:
Darth Maul gets his legs back through a multi-stage process after being cut in half: he first survives by crawling to the junk planet Lotho Minor, builds crude, spider-like cybernetic legs from scrap, and is later found by his brother Savage Opress, who brings him to Mother Talzin on Dathomir, where she uses magic and droid parts to create more functional legs, eventually upgrading them to humanoid mechanical legs.
This video explains how Darth Maul's resurrection was portrayed in The Clone Wars:

It looks good, but are they trying to turn Maul into a sympathetic character?
Also, why is it so blurry?

Was it purely money why this was done as animated? Feel like this would have killed and appealed to a wider audience as live action.
I still find the fact he survived being cut in half and plummeting down the shaft to be offensive to the source material. Felt the same way about the sequel trilogy. It just completely cheapens the deaths/sacrifices of Qui-Gon and Anakin.

Kennedy leaving and Filoni staying means nothing will change

Maul's live action is limited to just a few scenes in The Phantom Menace and the ending of Solo.
Practically everything about him that we know comes from his animated appearances (Clone Wars and Rebels), so that is probably why.

It does, but it also doesn't mention that fact that Obi-Wan killed him in Rebels. Kind of an important tidbit about him that they just pretend didn't happen. and no he's not coming back from that death, as he accepted that death by Obi-Wan peacefully.

The biggest mistake of the prequels was killing off Maul in ep 1

One thing I liked about his character in the Clone Wars was that Maul always told the truth. Maul was abandoned by Sidious after TFA, so he tries to train his own apprentices to take Palps out. In the last arc of the clone wars, he basically tries to turn Ahsoka to his side by telling her that Palpatine is the secret Sith lord, that he's trying to turn Anakin to the dark side, and that he's about to kill all the jedi.
Maul is a weird inconsistent character driven by petty revenge. He wants to kill Kenobi for taking his legs, he wants to kill Palpatine for abandoning him. He takes over Mandalore for a time (he backs a coup against Kenobi's girlfriend thinking Obi Wan would rush in to save her), founds Crimson Dawn, dude has some crazy plot armor and a weird career path before Obi Wan finally kills him in a duel not long before the events of Episode 4 during the last season of rebels.

I disagree. The parts of Lucasfilm which Filoni was directly involved in is at least all watchable, some of it really really good. Filoni might have some silly childish stuff, but he also really understands Star Wars and has a deep love and appreciation for its characters and themes. Granted, Filoni's roots are in The Clone Wars, and Ahsoka Tano is his baby.

I was a college kid when TPM was released and love Maul. However, I think Maul surviving TPM and Sidious surviving ROTJ are both dumb as shite.

Yep, I loved this character. Criminally underused in the prequels.

He didn't have a character in Episode 1. He was just a cool looking goon with no lines.

A live action of him and his brother leading up to and including the battle with Palpatine would print money. Two of the better character story lines in all of Star Wars.
