Darth Maul's status: dead or alive?
First, sorry if I'm doing something wrong, because i'm from Argentina and most of the times I make editions here is to add the spanish Interlang. But I was seeing this article and I saw someone has eliminated Darth Maul's date of death from his infobox. Why has someone do that? Does it says in any CANON SOURCE that Darth Maul survived his duel against Obi-Wan Kenobi? All I see are rumors, but I haven't seen ANY canon source that says he's alive. I don't know if you have talked about this before, because I don't use to read articles' talks, but seriosuly, you should put his date of death again. At least until some canon source tells he is still alive, but before that, DARTH MAUL IS DEAD.Skenar 20px ( Discusión ) 06:35, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Please calm down; even though the retcon being made is rather large, there's no reason to speak so strongly. Several online articles relating to The Clone Wars have reported that Maul is no longer dead, but the canon source you're probably looking for is Star Wars: The Wrath of Darth Maul, which confirms he survived his duel with Kenobi.

 * I'm sorry if I appeared as if I was angry; I utilized capital letters to emphasize what I said, not to shout. So in that novel it says that Maul is still alive? And what do you mean with "even though the retcon being made is rather large"? You mean that there will have lots of things to fix with retcons?Skenar 20px ( Discusión ) 06:45, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I mean the fact that he is being brought back from being dead is a rather major change in canon. The book itself presents some of the plot from the upcoming episode "Brothers," which will feature Maul.  CC7567  (talk) 07:01, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, course if he should survive and escape in these upcoming episodes does that mean that the Old Wounds story might become canon? I mean i am just thinking that if Maul should survive, should that story that i mentioned be made canon. course it all depends on what will happen in the upcoming story arc starting with "Brothers". course from what i have seen on the darth maul page, it suggests that darth maul is suffering from amnesia and until we get more information, we just have wait and see. --CC-1990 20:48, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if the Clone Wars stopped changing the canon. It could have at the very least not rendered a bunch of sources non-canon by having Maul dead, and then later on revived. But it would have been best to not bring him back period imo. And I don't think Old Wounds will become canonical. In addition to Leland Chee stating it was non-canon, it has Darth Maul killing Watto before 0 BBY, when in Star Wars Galaxies Watto was still alive after the Battle of Yavin.

 * Yes, it would be nice if George Lucas would stop changing canon. Just because almost every writer in the franchise is more talented than you doesn't mean you should undo everything they contributed that made Star Wars great, George. Wookieepedia, do the right thing: leave Maul dead and consider TCW non-canon.

Darth Maul in The Clone Wars Season 5?
Where does it say that Maul is gonna be in season 5? I don't think that Lucas or anyone has confirmed about this. DragonSlayer2 14:25, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Darth Maul's Home world

The article states that Maul was born on Iradoina, however in Star Wars: Darth Plagusis Sidious recevis the very young infantfrom a nightsister. is there something I'm missing here? Wouldn't that back Maul's Home world Datmathoir instead? --Darthyoda1396 01:55, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Maul: Phantom Menaces appearance non-canon?
Maul has been established as being a Dathomiran-Zabrak hybrid (being the brother of Savage, and also suggested in the Darth Plagueis novel), and wouldn't this make the Star Wars Tales Comic, Phantom Menaces, non-canon. The comic also shows Zabraks as being hairless and red-skinned like Maul, but most non-Nightbrother Zabraks are haired with tan or brown skin. Finally, Maul, being alive in the Clone Wars (and not to mention, looking much like his appearance in Old Wounds), could not survive without the brain that supposedly was took off his person on Naboo. Therefore, the comic must be non-canon.


 * oh and, TPM overrides other Canon, it's a movie. Therefore it overrides comics, games, television, books, etc. (Darthyoda1396 02:52, March 1, 2012 (UTC))

OK.Let's just say this. So TCW has sure made a major pile of bantha fodder for us to sort through. Let's just adopt a wait-and-see attitude for the next few weeks, because as soon as we figure out a way to make everything fit... BANG... a stray blaster bolt from TCW will hit us you know where. so lets just wait, if Darth Maul could wait several year to get his fate sorted out, then we can wait a few weeks, and focus on the bigger problem: Sorting through the beautiful mess know as Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Darth Maul is Dead
I think this article should be moved back to say Darth Maul is dead since he clearly died in The Phantom Menace and TCW is lower canon than movie canon.
