    I loved the entire arc of Maul's story! Yes, at first it was "WTF you mean he's alive?!" The spider-thing was an ... odd... choice. His mental state, though, I think was perfect to start out with. He would be pretty nuts after waking up from that experience! Then everything Maul went through... made me think he turned in to the "prophet" of Star Wars, foreshadowing what was going to happen and trying to find his place in it, yet dreading where it was going.
