The Clone Wars - Season Six?
Jayson:
Yep, not the series finale, just the Maul storyline.
Jesse James:
I'm in the minority but I hated the Maul arc...
I hated that he was alive. I hated that they brought him back to try breathing life into the toon... I hate it all. I felt it was just another sign of the show taking a path away from the actual Clone Wars to crowbar in more stuff. :-\ There's so much more to that era we basically missed because the toon just went away from its namesake. That'll always bug me.
Jayson:
I don't disagree. It was blatant property-whoring bringing Maul back, but if you could suspend disbelief/disgust enough, it was a well thought out path Maul took in the series - consorting with Talzin and the Mandalorians. It all culminated though in the murder of Satine, the defeat of Pre Vizsla and duel with Savage against Sidious. I loved every minute of it - the animation, the dialogue, the violence.
I'm still amazed that LFL went so far as to bring Maul back and didn't pay off that huge gamble with a proper animated conclusion. Sure the new comic series will fill in the blanks but I can't help but feel that anything pre-Disney acquisition is just viewed as a GL bastard child.
Jabba the Slug:
For me this is great news (being that I loved Maul's return, despite how ridiculous it sounded), but the biggest defeat for me will come around the time that I open those comic pages and imagine how every scene from those panels would have looked like in cartoon form on TV - I was practically sh***ing my pants during the Sidious vs. Maul & Savage duel, and now we're gonna miss out on what's practically going to be the biggest, most epic conclusion to TCW on TV? It just downright sucks. I can't even believe they wouldn't even make this a direct-to-DVD release, I mean, this is Darth freaking Maul!!!! We all know this guy HAS TO die at the end of the arc, right? I'm just in such disbelief by all of this.

My thoughts exactly, I just recently went back and re-watched those episodes and they really were among the best the show ever had to offer. Silly idea at its core, but very well-executed.
