Filoni brought Ray Park back for motion capture because, in his words, 'when we see Maul fighting it's going to be really Maul fighting.' The argument is that audiences subconsciously register physical authenticity, and the original performer carries muscle memory the audience has already absorbed. A new actor could fight well, but it wouldn't read as Maul to viewers who had watched Park for years.
