Maybe I'm just too old (30), but I had exactly zero excitement while watching that preview. It seems like people get excited whenever anything SW related is "dark" and has characters striking cool poses with lightsabers (that Old Republic preview comes to mind).

I seem to recall the Clone Wars era being done to death before Revenge of the Sith was even released in theaters. This just looks like more of the same, except that events are getting SO big (Maul coming back to life) it just seems absurd that nobody will ever mention these events in RotS (not that I'm a big fan of that movie).

Maul could just as easily die before the events of Episode III. Just like Ashoka has to either disappear or die before the series is over.

It could all be "old news" by the time the events in the movie take place.
