   Summary

   I have always been unsatisfied with how Maul has been treated as a character, ever since the beginning. I think that the way Maul's character has been utilized canonically has always been in conflict with his depiction, depth and potential. Even in canon he has one of the most transformative character arcs, both literally and figuratively. And yet, I've always been left wanting more for him, because to me he serves as somewhat of a litmus test for Star Wars as a mythological system — is this a story of hope?

   ⦿

   After all that has happened, is it possible to start over, and what would it take?
   Qi'ra thought she had made a choice from which there was no turning back, and arrived on Dathomir prepared to answer for it. But Maul's reaction was not one that she had expected.
