10 Star Wars Fan Theories That Became Fact

Much like the instant fan-favourite but eventually dispatched Qui-Gon Jinn in Episode I, The Phantom Menace's primary antagonist in Darth Maul also became the subject of many a fan theory when it pertained to a much-wanted return post-Prequel-death.

Many of said theories consisted of folks believing that Maul could channel his anger and fury, combined with the Dark Side of the Force to stave off what appeared to be a rather definitive conclusion on the back of being chopped in two by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

And by the time The Clone Wars opted to bring back the all-round fan favourite Dathomirian, George Lucas appeared to have definitely been keeping up with fans' love and the theories centred around the character's fate, with his fierce hatred of Kenobi being a key factor in Maul clinging onto life in the years following on from his Naboo bisecting.

In making up for the cutting down of an instant hit of a personality seemingly far too soon for most, Lucas and co. were eventually able to forge arguably one of the most complex and gripping character arcs the Star Wars universe has played host to yet.
