We know nothing of his alien physiology. He could be like a worm. There are now two mauls, one originally the top, the other bottom. They are probably lovers.

To save money the Jedi Council contracted a new lightsaber manufacturing Jedi named Temu

So the whole "force ghost" thing requires much time spent meditating in the force. Yoda communed with force Qui Gon to learn it and gave instructions for Obiwan on how to train for it during his exile on Tatooine.

Having completed this meditation training, Qui Gon would have been at peace with dying. Similar to how Obiwan seemed to allow Vader to strike him down during their final duel; only to return through the force to Luke.

Perhaps part of the reason that this technique is not more wide spread is because it inherently weakens ones determination to survive.

The Sith cannot transcend death in this way. They must pour their power into clinging on to life.

Unpopular opinion here but I think Maul coming back after his defeat/death in Ep.1 was the dumbest thing in all of Star Wars lore. He was a lame villain from the beginning, and his miraculous return was not an improvement.

Jedi trust the Force. Its why they are forbidden from forming attachments. When someone dies, they must accept it, even themselves.

Maul refused to die. He refused accept the balance of life and death. He survived on the singular hatred for Obi-Wan and, Force be damned, he would have his revenge.

It's super rad, in my opinion. It makes both Maul and Qui-Gon better versions of what we were shown

Charlie Hopkinson has a series on YouTube of Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Anakin watching the movies/series. Every lightsaber death and "death" has Qui-Gon complaining again.

The light saber vaccine, of course

There were a lot of moments of the Obi-Wan series that I liked. The whole first episode was great, Ben surviving in his new life in the desert. Loved when he explained the Force to Leia, it felt very OT. Some great Anakin/Obi-Wan moments.

That said, I'm currently reading the Kenobi novel and I'm loving it so far. I think I much prefer it to the series.

There was once a woman, who almost survived a traumatic hemidemiseptomy, which otherwise is rarely done due to various reasons, mainly that it's rarely needed and needs an absolute strength of will from the recipient to avoid an immediate suicide.

I guess in a sci-fi setting like Star Wars, they have some robo-lower body for Darth Maul.

One of the animated series details how Darth Maul survived. He basically used the Force to cobble a bunch of junk together to serve as his legs. Not like he was gonna bleed out or anything; Lightsabers also cauterize the wounds they inflict.

somehow Qui-gon returned.

While Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were on Naboo, some elder Jedi mystic discovered the proper technique to survive lightsaber wounds. The information was not dispersed before Qui-Gon met his fate. Truly a dark irony. However, his death and the re-emergence of the Sith prompted the immediate training of this technique to the point that it became common knowledge even among the most green of padawans.

Or perhaps it’s better to think that maybe Qui-Gon learned this ability while in the Force and has now shared it from beyond the grave, a thing that saved so many Jedi yet could only happen as a result of Qui-Gon’s death.

A good question! For another time.

The dark side is a pathway to many abilities that some consider unnatural.
