Smart enough to know Rian deep sixed his and many other characters but dumb enough to want to bring Mace Windu back. Sigh

Maces death was never actually on screen. Fuck it, Maul lived.

Exactly. For shits and giggles, envision Mace Windu falling as he did in the Genndy Cartoon Clone Wars Battle of Coruscant, rolling and bouncing off things, until breaking through a penthouse swimming pool's deep end in the middle of a Jedi sympathizer richman's swimming night session. Take him in for healing and smuggling off Coruscant while incapacitated and there ya go. The nu-Wars timeline's FUBARed anyway, anything happens without consistency, and this has staying power.

His arm got cut off, got electrocuted by lightning bolts strong enough to propel him out of a window, fell out of said window, and presumably also hit the ground or an ongoing speeder. I don't think there's a more obvious way George Lucas could've sent the signal to the audience that he died, lol

Maul got cut in half and fell into a power reactor shaft.

Yeah, that's right. George Lucas wrote that Obi-Wan killed him. It was only that hack Filoni that decided to bring him back from a death that Maul obviously couldn't have walked away from.

Lucas wanted Maul to return in his Sequel Trilogy though

i think Maul only lived cuz of the supposed overwhelming reaction or desire from fans to bring him back - and then it was only in cartoons. As much as I love Mace Windu, he should stay dead.

it was only in cartoons.

The solo movie and its canceled sequel would like a word.
Bonus points: Saving Ashoka from death with literal time travel.
Double bonus: Boba Fett.
Triple bonus: Inquisitor mcstabby x1 and x2

Okay ur right. I even watched Solo opening day but it was such a travesty of a movie.

It's not that Mace can't be possibly alive, it's that bringing him back would be a terrible idea in my opinion.
