When producers told Sam Witwer that Maul would draw his double-bladed lightsaber in the Solo: A Star Wars Story cameo, he immediately flagged a continuity problem—Maul had already lost that weapon years earlier in the timeline. Witwer offered two canonically accurate alternatives: the Darksaber (implying he defeated Pre Vizsla) or an Inquisitor-style saber (implying the Empire was hunting him). His intervention preserved the character's integrity in what could have been a franchise-breaking retcon.
