I just simply don't care about Star Wars anymore. What that means is that nothing outside of the UOT or some of the 90s EU material interests me. The franchise is so bloated and worn out.

That's not to say that current SW material can't be interesting or well done. I hear good things about CW, but to be honest it all kind of sounds silly. "Savage Oppress"? Why not just name a character, "Bad Guy"?

Then there's the whole resurrecting Darth Maul thing that times with the 3D TPM release. An obvious stunt to rope in more people who didn't like the prequels yet can't turn away completely.

I digress.

One of the Dark Horse comics resurrected Maul several years ago, so the idea isn't all that new.

As there has been a feeling among some fans Maul was killed off way too soon, (there were even rumors Grievous was Maul) it was inevitable they'd find a way to bring him back.
