Man this is just getting more twisted and out of hand imho.
You said. Like I mentioned before, this Maul arc is too weird and far fetched for me. Surviving the Sarlacc is cutting it close, but come on, getting sliced in half AMD wind up alive on a completely different planet? Besides, Palpatine had Dooku, Grievous and was steadily wrapping Anakin around his finger.
The moment I really thought "oh dear", was when Maul was putting on his deranged Gollum act.
Furthermore, Obi-Wan was acting like a wuss against Maul and Savage. I'd expected him to put up more of a fight.
