It did and while Maul recognized the location at the time, Ezra did not. I think one of the Ghost crew even told Ezra that there's a lot of plants out there with twin suns. Suddenly Ezra not only knows the name of the planet, but how to get there.
maybe he got the info throuh mauls mind with the holocron at the start of the show.
maul was already there.
but yeah, it needed to be explained.
I watched it again tonight. I'm still not sure why maul needed Ezra. Why was Ezra able to find Kenobi but maul was not?

the last bit would have been fan service too
if you go that route, i'd rather see him communicating with yoda planning out the future and their latest course of action
When they first fought Obi-Wan was still a Padawan. All he has been through made him change and grow. Maul OTOH with his mind set on revenge didn't grow and that's why he went out in 3 strikes, This was perfect.
Personally, there are different types of fan service. There's the kind that winks at the general audience. (like having Doctor evizan and Ponda Baba on Jeddha hours before it blows up) and then there's the kind that connects elements in the space opera. (saw gerrera's appearance. The ghost in the final battle)
I completely agree.Do we really want all this fan service though. Most of it is just to make a connection, in some way, to the OT as if thats what makes it Star Wars. Fair enough if it makes sense but not for the sake of it. All that is needed, IMO, is continuity of SW 'history' and no contradiction of what is already known (obviously I'm ignoring those created by the PT). All the 'fan service', Easter eggs and winks to the audience is distracting me from enjoying these films and tv shows more. Yeah, I like the detail in the background (like in ROTJ when Chewie pulls a rebel out of the fray by the scruff of his neck) but not when I'm constantly scanning the screen for some detail that points to another part of SW. Basically, Disney's obsession with the 'shared universe ' concept is stifling creativity. Just come up with something new then run it by Leeland Chee and Pablo Hidalgo for continuity and stop second guessing the fans.
Rant over.
Makes me wonder if Obi Wan could have killed Vader, but didn't because he knew Luke would have to.
Absolutely.Lucas said in an interview years ago (SW Insider maybe) that Obi Wan could have easily defeated Vader in ANH, but that was not his mission. He could help Luke better from the Force. I don't think they really explained the "I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine" thing in the movies. I guess appearing to you anywhere to talk is more powerful?
