Anakin and Maul never fought or even met one another during Clone Wars. There was an episode where Obi-Wan and Anakin went to Dathomir upon Savage's rise, but never did Anakin encounter Maul, only Obi-Wan. Maul did have a plan in the Siege of Mandalore to have Obi-Wan come, expecting him to bring Anakin, as Maul had a vision Palpatine would groom Anakin to be his apprentice, so Maul would kill Anakin, denying Sidious his apprentice. This would fail Episode 3 and the Siege of Mandalore happened side by side. While Daki and Devon are talking, Maul is muttering to himself "No, no, no" "It can't be" cause he's realizing Palpatine's plan worked and is fighting Anakin so (as of right now) this is the only canon time these two have interacted
What an incredible series, and a great finale. I honestly feel sorry for Mandalorian and Grogu coming out the same month as this, unless it's equally as spectacular. In case you're wondering why Vader doesn't speak, according to Dave Filoni, it's because Vader's locked in on killing them and doesn't care about them enough even to taunt them. Real-world though - James Earl Jones sadly passed away, Disney saw the anger towards AI Vader in Fortnite and assumed they wouldn't get away with it, and they haven't recast the role yet.
Adam, No Anakin never faced Maul during the CW. Maul fought Obi, Sidius, Ventress, Ahsoka and one other Jedi I can’t remember her name. Anakin knew he was alive though.
I hope we don't see Devon redeemed. I would like to see a more pragmatic Dark Side user who uses their emotions from a dark place but striving to do the greater good. I would love to see Devon become a more nuanced version of Darth Talon. Lucas liked Talon so much from the comics he wanted to re-imagine her as an apprentice of a resurrected Maul. She would then have been used as the antagonist facing Luke in the the sequels. It looks like Filoni and crew are using Lucas' rough outline as inspiration.
I'm really glad that we're getting another Jedi to Sith corruption arc, at least the elements of one. The last real one that we got was Anakin to Vader. In light of Adam talking about how Maul gets abandoned on Malachor, that makes complete sense. I also wonder if Qi'ra helps Devon to achieve that.
Don't see the dad die and saw Maul push Daki into Vader. Dad shows up tells Devon Maul did it Devon abandons Maul.
The thing is, I don't feel like that would ruin things for Maul. He'll just encourage her to embrace her hatred to become stronger, like every other sith.
