Por um tempo, não se sabia se Maul e Savage sobreviveram ou não ao acidente do ônibus espacial em "Revival". Palpatine reprimiu tentativas de confirmar suas mortes argumentando que isso desperdiçaria recursos da República. Yoda concordou, prometendo que os Jedi iriam atrás de Maul se ele se revelasse novamente.
Em "The Lawless", os Jedi não sabiam de sua presença em Mandalore e não puderam ajudar com a situação devido à neutralidade de Mandalore.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.
Mundi: Without involvement from the Separatists, this is an internal affair for the Mandalorians. I'm afraid we cannot help.
