Star Wars: Animated Origins – Maul Art by Dave Filoni
PABLO HIDALGO: “So we brought some Maul art from back in the very beginning of his inclusion in Clone Wars and I thought, ‘Now that we’ve closed the book on the character, so to speak, if we could go back in time to when George dropped the bomb on you that he was gonna bring Maul back from the dead.
“And what I really want to stress is the fact that we only would have ever done something like if it came from George. Because none of us would ever consider touching a character like that, who–”
DAVE FILONI: "Not one who was cut in half, no.“
PABLO HIDALGO: "Yeah.”
INTERVIEWER: "Well, now take us back there, though. Now was that like a, ‘I need to sit you all down and tell you something serious.’ or was it like a quick comment on the way to the kitchen, ‘Maul’s coming back.’“
DAVE FILONI: "Yeah, it was…. We would be in a story meeting and he would often say stuff like, ‘I’ve got an idea and you’re gonna love it.’ And I was always like, ‘Ohhhhhh, that so seldom lines up.’ And then he said, you know, ‘We’re gonna bring Darth Maul back.’ And I said, ‘Really?’ Because one of the things I really loved about The Phantom Menace was that he made him cut in half.
“And I thought, ‘That’s so smart! Because that kind of ends the debate, not like Boba going into the Sarlacc endless debate. It’s over, he’s cut in half!’ And [George]’s like, ‘No, he’s coming back.’ And I was like, ‘Well, how does that work?’ And he goes, ‘I don’t know, you’ll figure it out.’”
LISTEN, I WILL FIGHT YOU THAT GEORGE LUCAS IS THE GODDAMNED BEST.

Last night I had a dream that I was invited to some kind of sith or empire dinner party and after I got there I ended up wandering into the kitchen and Palpatine was straight up cooking a chicken with force lightning
The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be…unnatural.
imagine one day spidey is held up by the new york city police department, and he’s expecting the same old bullshit of “this stupid spider menace vigilante blah blah blah” like the cops in queens always say to him, but instead he’s met with a 30 year old brooklyn cop who is less concerned with peter being a vigilante, and is more concerned with peter’s powers. he won’t stop asking peter about his spider powers, how they work, how he got them, how he would rate them on a scale of “cool” to “toit”
and finally peter gets a word in edgewise and is like “not that this isn’t refreshing compared to the way the police usually treat me, but what kinda cop are you again??” and the cop is like “i’m actually a detective, jake peralta from the 99th precinct. anyways can you summon an army of spiders or is that just a rumor?? oh my god can you talk to them, can you ask the spiders if they like die hard??”
Everyone in Infinity Wars gonna be complaining about how hard these last few years have been for them until Thor rolls up with no hair, no hammer, and one eye.
Don’t forget “my planet had to be destroyed to keep my sister from killing like the whole universe so now me and all my people are refugees. But hey, Loki’s back, that’s good news!”
Peter(raises his hand in the back): “…My homecoming date‘s dad turned out to be my arch nemesis and a building fell on me!“
Thor (smiles and gives a thumbs-up): “Good for you! (aside, to Tony)…Who is that person? Do we know him or did he just show up?”
Peter Q(Walks up out of nowhere): My dad turned out to be a sadistic dark God who killed my mother and tried to turn me into a living battery.
Thor: I like you. (hands over an oversized mug of ale)
You don’t get to ask questions after the nonsense you pulled on Knowhere.
This whole scene gets 800% funnier when you realize they’re having this talk in Peter’s dad’s basement.
You know arguments just as ridiculous have gone on down there before.
When they need to argue they go to Yondu’s basement
Need to let of some steam? Okay, go down to the basement, do some discussing, yell quietly as not to disturb dad Captain, and if you need to brawl it out, just don’t break any important parts.
