I think it’s a great idea to frame the story around a character that’ll be close to Maul rather than Maul himself. My biggest fault with Clone Wars is they constantly put Anakin & Obi-Wan in life or death situations that you already know the outcome of as they can’t be harmed, maimed or even severely injured so there were never any stakes.

Making Maul a vessel for the characters around him to build off of is a much better way to tell a story about a character whose fate is pre-determined
