Right, hence my last statement, "Maybe they made it work."

They, more than anyone, know about it.
After the Mandolorian mess, I don't trust them to respect what was once thought as true. I'm sorry, call me OCD, but until this series every EU writer respected each other's fiction. There weren't any conflicting plotlines (aside from Infinities, but those were written with the purpose of being conflicting), even if the stories weren't all that great. You're not going to change my mind on this.

I'm not sure how a still picture of him can prove that he's alive. He could be and couldn't be. Nobody knows for sure.
Savage: "But, all of my kin are dead."
Talzia: "No, there is another. He is in exile in the Outer Rim."
I'm pretty sure that's a definite "Whoever is pictured in the crystal ball knows alot about the Dark Side and is very much alive.". So you're right, it may not be Darth Maul. They might have made a totally new Iridonian with Sith tatoos who used to be a Sith. Way to be original.

How can you ask for them to clear this up if the episodes have not aired yet? You can't judge them until we see end of the story. Then we can discuss if it makes sense or not. Not when we don't know anything about it.
One statement saying, "No, we didn't screw over any pre-existing canon, so stop worrying, you silly fanboys, just wait until the episode airs to see how clever we are," would set aside any doubts. However, no such statement has been made, so us silly fanboys worry.
