    I knew from the moment of his defeat in that first prequel that he was gonna come back with robot legs. No one believed me.

    Then it actually happened. I felt ten feet tall. I shouted with triumph.

    I remember having that exact argument with somebody. I declared victory after Revenge of the Sith. I mean, it was a done deal, he was gone and not coming back unless Disney bought the franchise and wanted to squeeze every last drop of blood out of it, and what's the odds of THAT happening.

    Any blood-squeezing can be laid at the feet of Lucasfilm, not Disney. Maul was brought back in the Clone Wars cartoon, it predates the buyout by half a year.

    Long time reader, first time poster and I do this to ask two questions that this has put in my head:

    1) has anyone realised that this is the half that can have kids and-
    2) do the two halves even like each other anymore? (I know what my bottom half would do left to his own devices...)

    I am frankly disappointed that this comic didn't devote an entire chat bubble to Darth Mauls genitals. Does Darth Maul have a 2 cock configuration, cloaca, or retractable ovipositor situation?

    The leg half would clearly be the good half. Freed of it's oppressive torso, it can now do what it wants. Just go for strolls. I mean like looong strolls. All day. Multi-day. Non-stop. Non. Stop. Strolls.
    Some sith attaches some killer robot torso to it. But the legs won't cooperate. They just stroll off preventing the evil robot upper part from doing anything malevolent.

    The Jedi always did preach against attachment.

    Without the Star Wars stuff this could also be a reference to Peter Molyneux and his dev teams.

    That was apparently inspired by Lucas having a case of bronchitis around that time.

    Heck, I'm pretty sure it was in the novels even before that.

    Gabe's observation is raising some serious points with serious implications.
    would the being with the bottom half be able to use the force?
    would he consider himself Darth Maul when he doesn't have Darth Maul's brain?
