Ett tag var det okänt huruvida Maul och Savage överlevde sin flygkrasch i "Revival". Palpatine undertryckte försök att bekräfta deras dödsfall genom att argumentera för att det skulle slösa bort Republikens resurser. Yoda gick överens och lovade att Jedi kommer att gå efter Maul om han avslöjar sig själv igen.
Palpatine: I think we have closure on this matter, master Kenobi.
Kenobi: I disagree, Chancellor. Everything we've learned from this is that the Sith are persistent. They will not die.
Palpatine: I understand your reservations, Master Kenobi, but I am afraid we can no longer allow this personal matter of yours to be a Republic concern. It does not appear this Darth Maul is a direct threat to the Republic. We need to redirect your efforts to the cause at hand: Stopping Count Dooku and thus ending the Clone Wars.
Kenobi: Maul was trying to build an army of pirates.
Palpatine: So let him. Let him play with the rabble. They're just petty crooks. It is of no relevance to the Senate compared to the Separatist threat.
...
Yoda: A personal matter this is for you. Clouded your judgment may be. In time, if he lives, reveal himself again Maul will. And then swiftly we shall act.
I "The Lawless" var Jedi inte medveten om hans närvaro på Mandalore och kunde inte hjälpa till med situationen på grund av Mandalores neutralitet.
Mundi: Without involvement from the Separatists, this is an internal affair for the Mandalorians. I'm afraid we cannot help.
