Also, what if the new power source was a fragment of the Star Forge from KOTOR? Then it gives some context of what it can actually do, and why the TF would want it (build an unstoppable droid army.)
Yes please!
As long as that part of it is explained in the movie. It would be cool to maintain that the reason the Feds need Maul is so that he can operate it with the dark side, or that he's somehow deceiving them so he can take it later.
