>>211697778You are absolutely correct, btw. And I expect the other anon to bring up some irrelevant fanfic EU slop as an argument. Which is, of course, irrelevant. Maul was not disposable. He was the only true Sith Lord besides Palpatine, who had been trained since birth. And he was not expendable. More so, Lucas explained in the interviews many times, that the purpose of Count Dooku was to show that Sidious had to compromise and pick someone up from the Jedi, because he did not have the time to train another Sith Lord, like he did with Maul.
