It’s complicated to pinpoint exactly where Darth Maul fits into the Star Wars timeline. Though he appeared to die in The Phantom Menace, he was brought back during The Clone Wars and has since shown up in various Star Wars projects set during the Empire’s rule, like Solo: A Star Wars Story and Rebels.
