In short, the Force/sheer will/hate/anger kept Maul alive after being bisected in The Phantom Menace. He was then scooped up with trash and sent to a garbage planet, where he used scrap to make himself a spider-like set of legs. Drider-Maul was pretty feral and insane, but was eventually taken to Dathomir (his homeworld) where his mother, a powerful Nightsister Force witch, used the Force to restore his mind and outfitted him with a pair of humanoid cybernetic legs. After that, Maul took over various crime syndicates around the galaxy, and ultimately threw in with the Death Watch faction of Mandalorians and took over Mandalore. In one of the last battles of the Clone Wars, the Republic helped Mandalorians take back their planet. Ahsoka captured Maul, but he escaped in the chaos of Order 66. I believe this series takes place about a year after Revenge of the Sith and Maul has reconnected with remnants of the Death Watch Mandalorians and is rebuilding his power base with the underworld.I also roll my eyes at Maul's survival, but he has turned out to be such a great character in Clone Wars and Rebels that I give them a pass on it.</blockquote>
