Savage said that it was the Clone Wars, which by this time has engulfed pretty much anyone and everyone. But Maul could sense that the Force was out of balance.

“My hatred kept my spirit intact, even though my body was not,” he said. And he launched into a sprint across the still-smoldering Dathomiri terrain. Maul got the hang of his new legs pretty quickly, though.

The identity of the assassin who killed Qui-Gon Jinn might be something they’d ask him, don’t you think? Third, how does Darth Maul know Obi-Wan’s name? His master Darth Sidious was pulling all the strings behind the invasion of Naboo! You don’t think he would have told his apprentice the names of the two Jedi he needs to eliminate to achieve his goals? The Republic took Nute Gunray into custody following the Trade Federation’s defeat on Naboo and during the course of his trial, he, not being a particularly strong-willed soul, spilled the secrets behind everything that happened there. Second, how do the Jedi know Darth Maul’s name? Um…easy. But also, as I mentioned last week when Savage Opress first discovered Maul as a spider-creature in a cave on junk planet Lotho Minor, other Sith Lords like Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, and even Darth Vader, have used their hate to keep their physical selves intact, when by all reasoning they should have died. First, how did Maul survive being cut in half? See the epigraph from Palpatine that opened this recap.

Some nagging questions have popped up surrounding Maul’s return that need to be addressed. Before we dive deep into the canon-shattering revelations of “Revenge,” a bit of housekeeping is in order, first, for the more literal continuity-minded of you.
