    Peter was Darth Maul's voice in TPM.

    I hope Peter does the voice if this is true. Witwer is way too over-the-top as Maul. If Sam really is doing it maybe he will tone it down since he is not playing a literal cartoon villain.

    I disagree, Peter was good but Sam Witwer made Maul a real character. Yeah, he "over the top" but Maul was literally an insane, cut in half former Sith who was helming bent on revenge for being halved by Obi Wan and betrayed by Sidious.

    I think the real surprise reveal in Solo will be
    that Obi-Wan Kenobi is in it, because he seems to already know Chewbacca in ANH's cantina
    so there!

    He knows Chewie because Chewie told him who he is. This is called introducing yourself. :p

    Okay, so I didn't watch every episode of Rebels, so I'm looking for an expert to correct me. But isn't it pretty much explicitly stated that when Darth Maul tracks down Kenobi, that this is the first time they have seen each other since the prequels? And then he dies. So, there would be no room to introduce Maul into the Kenobi film as anything more than a cameo where he never actually meets him. It sounds like a great cross-connection between Solo and Kenobi movies but the timeline seems explicitly contradicted from what I know of Rebels. Unless Maul is just going to be "hunting around" for Kenobi but never finds him. Which would be fine as another background element in the story, still makes for a good connection between the entries, but from what I remember of Rebels they wouldn't be allowed to actually cross paths.

    You are correct, Rebels shows us the entirety of their post-Clone Wars interactions. I wonder if maybe they are considering a Maul movie which would focus on his attempts at operating as a crime lord before discovering Obi Wan is even alive (something he shouldn't be aware of). Personally I don't see any real way of having Maul in any movie set during the 19 years.

    Plus, Maul's has a beginning, middle and end. His story is complete.

    The only story of Maul's that we need is the Ahsoka/Rex siege of Mandalore Clone Wars arc that never got made that was to take place at the same time as the intro of RotS. We got a very brief glimpse of it in Ahsoka's book but not the whole thing. Another one thats not as necessary but would be cool is seeing young Maul be chosen by Palpatine and his early sith training. But that could be better for a Palpatine movie.

    I am a big Darth Maul/PT fan (as you all know,) but I am confused as to why this cameo exists at all? What can be the point in including Maul in this film and not Boba Fett?

    Why not Boba Fett, who has been in more films and has probably sold more toys than Maul over the years?

    I don't think a character has to do monologues about their evil plans to considered a "real character" Maul was the equivalent to a Star Wars Nazgul.

    In TPM Maul whispered two lines of dialogue and then just made faces and looked menacing. In The Clone Wars he was betrayed, left for dead went insane and was brought back by the revelation of his brother. He walked back from insanity in order to get his revenge on the man who halved him and the Sith who made him who he was. We learned about his family, his desires, and most importantly his personality. All of this was facilitated by the amazing performance of Sam Witwer. Without Witwer's Maul, the character just looks cool.
