I saw that it was a story possibility for Maul to kill Kanan, and I’m glad they didn’t do that. Most of Kanan’s best moments with Ezra come in season 3 or 4 I think. It’s been 2 years, so I think it’s ok not to hide this as a spoiler - I think his actual death was perfect and far more impactful than it could have been otherwise. We see the rest of the Ghost crew struggling to move on without Kanan, and that’s touching to see, but if that went on for two whole seasons I think it would really have dragged the show down.
