This should have been the end of Maul. He was a one-dimensional character and added nothing at all to the story.
I was on board with Solo, in spite of its weak story and poor acting, until his reveal. It was a one & done film for me at that point. It’s shocking to me that they’re still trying to make him relevant to the brand 27 years later.
it’s obvious that the team making star wars realized that George screwed up by not making Maul the Darth Vader of the prequels and not taking advantage of a character that everyone thought was cool and badass, so they retconned his death to insert him in all of these other properties in an attempt to make up for it. Problem is that it doesnt change the main issues: Maul having no impact on anything movie wise and the prequels having no central villain.
