Would be almost as bad as bringing back Darth Maul or Palpatine, but the precedent's been set at this point.

At least they did a great job with Maul's character after they brought him back. Really don't need to do more with Windu, though.

I'm not saying they do, I'm against Windu returning.

I'm also against introducing dumb shit into Star Wars canon that makes people think stuff like Windu coming back is feasible.

And this is always the response I see lol

So is it that people actually want the character back because they think it'd be a fun way to develop him more or is it just this cynical way to dump on other story shit in the franchise lol

I still can't believe they brought Maul back

Like, Palpatine was brought into a trainwreck series to try to salvage it with memes and nostalgia, but Maul was literally revived by popularity lmao.

And he became even more popular with his Clone Wars arc...!

At this point, why not? Disney has systematically killed off most of the survivors and brought back most of the deceased characters to yank the franchise's leash and say, "We're in charge."

What's the harm in bringing back one more?

I don't want any more resurrections.

Buuut I can totally see Windu being a disfigured, hate-filled hermit urging whoever to take revenge and wipe out the Sith or whatever.

But just because it could work doesn't mean they should do it. The character was squandered. It happens. Let him stay dead.

If the bad guys can use magic to come back from the dead, so can the good guys.

Obi-Wan was supposed to come back to life in Return of the Jedi. (At least so a movie trivia screen at a theater I went to said.)

When/how did Maul come back?

He was brought back in The Clone Wars series. I don't recall how much if any of the "how" was discussed within the show, but pulled from the Star Wars wiki:

However, through his hate and will to survive, Maul used the Force to grab an air vent as he was tumbling down the reactor shaft and eventually made it to a trash container.[17] A combination of his Nightsister magicks, Dathomirian physiology and Sith tenacity served to keep him tethered to life even as his sanity began to leave him.[31] Maul's shattered body was dumped on the junkyard world of Lotho Minor,[32] where he lived in the bowels of the planet. There he utilized discarded metal to fashion for himself a six-limbed apparatus that allowed him to walk again

His arc in TCW was actually great and the culmination is part of what made the last few episodes of the final season the best Star Wars film/show content ever, IMO. Then he had some great moments in Rebels, too.

Incredibly false equivalency. Boba Fett was killed off as a joke despite being popular even though he was given little to no development whatsoever. Mace on the other hand is a key figure in the prequels who serves his critical role in pushing Anakin to the dark side through his needless antagonism to Anakin, goes on to defeat Palpatine in a duel, and is the final catalyst in Anakins turn. Mace ultimately fulfilled an important role in SW and his death was the perfect way to end it.

Boba on the other hand was a glorified henchman who fans couldnt help but love, and ultimately got screwed over by George being so disconnected from his fans. Theres a clear difference between wanting Boba, a character that never got his due, to come back, and Mace, a character who was already critical to the story, to return for no reason other than to bring back SLJ.

Mace's death was so important, it would be a big insult to bring him back after that. But the character is great. The answer is live action Clone Wars content, cgi/makeup/Disney money magic. Bring in Sam Jackson, Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor

Pretty much. I want to see if they can handle any original ideas regarding Star Wars.

Yes. This. They can de-age them if they need to.

I still don't understand the love for Maul's story post-return. Pre-return sucked too. But when he comes back he just keeps losing over and over. TCW will build him up as a threat with a three episode arc only for Obi Wan Kenobi to show up in the last ten minutes, easily chop his arm off or something and dismantle his entire plan, then skip away. He added nothing to any overall plot and didn't serve development for any other character. He started to get good in Rebels as temptation for Ezra for like, three episodes. Then Ezra says no to him and he's back to milling about having no effect on anything.

I totally agree. John Boyega got shafted so hard on the sequel trilogy. They couldn't even let Rey be his white girlfriend.
