I don't like it, but hey, it's EU tradition. Darth Maul is just one among many, like: Palpatine, Boba Fett, Durge, Ventress, etc... If people accepted all of them, why not accept Maul? If they didn't, then why even care?
"The decision to continue Darth Maul's story was something that came directly from George, and we all agreed that his return needed to be unique, unexpected and revenge filled. We don't know what his outcome will be, and as a fan -- that's exciting."
That's funny because Lucas specifically stated he had him cut in half in order to make sure fans couldn't find a way to bring him back. That still didn't stop fans and it looks like it now didn't stop George.

lets just retcon the OT and have Anakin use the force to re-grow his limbs and heal his burnt flesh, then we can CGI Hayden in to the 2017 special special edition

Following the current trends and the way things are going in Star Wars, this sounds disturbingly possible.
I don't see what the problem is... it's just more EU stuff... even if it did "come from George" my strict interpretation of Star Wars canon is if it's not in the 6 movies, it's not canon... therefore I'd only ever really get uppity over stuff that goes on with the 6 movies.
Clone Wars is Clone Wars, just a fun little side trip for folks who like Saturday morning toons, no biggie.

I have a similar structure. Everything out of the 6 movies is secondary canon, where I can pick which stories belong to my personal canon.
Though I agree with both Lynk and Alexrd (I do something similar to you), doesn't change the fact its a monumentally crap idea. I'm not going to get stressy or anything over it, but still think its a bad idea.
I would be fine with crap retcons if they didn't affect future merchandise. It's entropy at work!
What's next? Malak in a jar in ToR?
Palpatine fighting Cade Skywalker?
Ahsoka as Anakin's illegitimate half-sister?
Where will the line be drawn?
I, for one, approve of the Ewoks. They're a fine representation of the primitive natives doing better in their own environment than the invading white man.
Take that, Avatar.

Sadly I can actually see GL giving the okay for those so long as there is credits - err money to be made
Is it really so hard to come up with something new? It doesn't even have to rock and it may even suck down the road, what would matter to me is that they'd actually have tried.
yea me too, at least it was infinities time-line, or one shot comics not included in canon. Now Darth Maul survives being cut in half and falling down a mile deep shaft.
Maybe he is a Clone? that would be acceptable (crap, as I dislike cloning force sensitives) but more acceptable than surviving said fate.

I don't think it is that unbelievable considering Luke fell down a similar shaft (possibly longer shaft) and survived:
"Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, Revan… and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone."
