This sounds as George Lucasy as hell. I do love his crazy ideas, but this would’ve made a really bizarre movie trilogy. Bringing Maul back as a crime lord works well in TCW, because it makes sense as a side threat in that era, but it would’ve been a really weird move for the sequel trilogy. I know everyone mocks the ‘rhyming’ thing, but even the ST we got ‘rhymes’ more with the OT and ST than Leia the politician vs. Maul the crimelord (and his EU-cribbed apprentice) would’ve. The only reason I possibly can think of that I would’ve preferred seeing these movies over the VII-IX that Lucasfilm did make is that Lucas would’ve used it as an opportunity to push the boundaries of modern digital filmmaking, since that was always his passion. Maybe we’d have seen something like The Volume years earlier. I wouldn’t mind seeing some of these ideas repurposed though.
