  • Did Maul need to have his robotic legs damaged 5000 times? We get the point.

To underline the subtextual point.

  • A few others already mentioned it, but the appearance of ‘Him’ was pointless.

Disagree. He does appear too much in stuff, but this time it makes sense if you’ve been following along with Maul’s arc and the parallels between the two of them being groomed by Palpatine, and what he represents to Maul and what Maul represents to him. Plus the Jedi master being taken out by inquisitors when Maul and Devon handle them just fine would not have felt the same.

Fantastic show imo, could have had more of the titular character, but I understand they needed to bring everyone in the audience more up to speed and get them to sympathize with Maul. I guess they didn’t want a repeat of the audience reaction to the Acolyte, where some of the audience “got” it and some didn’t.
