We mentioned just now that Maul did eventually die for realsies, but how did that happen?

Well, that depends on who you ask.

In Star Wars Rebels, Maul confronts an older Obi-Wan in the desert on Tatooine. After it becomes clear that his adversary knows of the existence of Luke Skywalker, Kenobi cuts him down after a short duel.

However, if you go by the Star Wars Visionaries story Old Wounds, Maul meets his maker under slightly different circumstances.

He still goes to Tatooine to confront Obi-Wan, only this time he does it at the Lars family farm. After a much longer fight, Maul gets shot in the head by Luke's Uncle Owen.

In both cases, the Jedi shows some respect to his fallen foe. In Rebels, he reassures Maul that Luke is the Chosen One, while in the comics he gives him a proper funeral.

As nice as this sounds, it will likely bring little comfort to Maul, as Obi-Wan was involved in his death on three separate occasions.

Come on, Kenobi, what did he ever do to you? Oh yeah, quite a lot actually...
