I found this Youtube video that describes the fate of Darth Maul after his last appearance in the Clone Wars cartoons. It claims to be canon, although no source is cited, and I cannot be sure if the video title is the name of the source.

Can someone verify for me whether this really is what it says it is, and whether it's genuinely part of the Star Wars canon?

  • Yes it's canon. Yes it's dumb. – Valorum Jan 05 '16 at 01:10
  • @Richard Do you have a specific name for the source? – thegreatjedi Jan 05 '16 at 01:11

    Can you add a description of exactly what you mean by "this fate"? A question should be answerable solely on the basis of the text it includes, without reference to links or videos. – Wad Cheber Jan 05 '16 at 01:14
  • But my question is asking whether this video is legit, and where the material shown is from. If I don't link to the video, how do I ask that? – thegreatjedi Jan 05 '16 at 01:17
  • What happens to Darth Maul in the clip? That's what "this fate" seems to mean. – Wad Cheber Jan 05 '16 at 01:18
  • Does the clip show him marrying an Ewok? Being eaten by a polar bear? Selling his lightsaber to support a drug habit? Setting himself on fire while deep-frying a turkey? – Wad Cheber Jan 05 '16 at 01:19

    I'm not willing to sit through a 15 minute video I'm not interested in just so I can decide whether or not I want to answer the question, and many people would be equally unwilling to sit through it for that purpose. You need to edit the question so we know what you mean by "this fate" without reference to the video. "This video shows Darth Maul being dropped into a woodchipper - is this his canonical fate?" or whatever. – Wad Cheber Jan 05 '16 at 01:25
  • Note - I voted to close as "Unclear what you're asking", not as a duplicate. – Wad Cheber Jan 05 '16 at 01:26

    I thought it was perfectly clear what he was asking. He's asking "is this video canon". Since it's a series of screencaps for 'Son of Dathomir', the answer is "*yes, and that's already been covered in an earlier answer*". – Valorum Jan 05 '16 at 01:28
  • I've made quite a big edit to make it more searchable for future reference. If you feel I've gone too far, press the edit button and roll it back – Valorum Jan 05 '16 at 01:39
  • I just read that comic by pausing the video countless times. Well, it's awesome, but in the end Maul escaped. – user931 Jan 05 '16 at 05:28

That video is just posting a series of panels from the comic Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir (for example, compare the middle image from this review of issue 1 to the one seen at 0:27 in the video) which is indeed part of the new Disney canon. And as Richard pointed out in a comment, this facebook post from Dave Filoni, supervising director of the Clone Wars series, mentions the story was originally going to be used in episodes of that show, but when that show was canceled they turned it into a comic.
