I still think a white lightsabre would be cool.

And as far as being 'in tune' with the Star Wars genre is concerned, I actually quite liked Darth Maul.

      Yeah he was badass. The sabre fight from that movie is still my favourite I think from the prequels.

[Stormkeeper]

Would have been nice if he'd said more than five words throughout the entire movie.

Yea. For the record, he's my favorite 'hero' in SW Battlefront 2.

Nothing beats mowing down a horde of clones with a single sweep.

Considering some of the dialogue, that may have been what saved him

Seriously though, the point in the Palace, when the door opens and Maul is standing there behind it, waiting for the Jedi was the only point in the 3 movies where I felt that 'this is going to be good' tingle.

[Galemp]

Or none at all... he's almost a Badass Mute but not quite.

Hell yes. Nothing beats clearing the entire corridor in the Jedi Temple with a single saber throw, either.

Seriously though, the point in the Palace, when the door opens and Maul is standing there behind it, waiting for the Jedi was the only point in the 3 movies where I felt that 'this is going to be good' tingle.

Yep. Best part of the movie, imo.

Darth Maul is the single character that wasn't a f***** pussy in the prequels and was actually able to fight. Good thing you killed him off Lucas.

At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have our revenge.

Seriously, I don't think you can expect the movie's fight coordinator to act...he was the fight coordinator, right?

[Topgun]

I think so, but he also acts in other movies (x-men for example, he played The Toad).

[StarSlayer]

Lack of great villains was probably one of the major (among many) shortcomings of the prequels, Maul was probably the only suitable one and they killed him off in the first go.  Droid army? lame, AARP jedi? lame  Cowardly Guts bag? lame.  Plus you couldn't invest in any of them either they had so little screen time, we had Vader for all 3 of the originals.

[Mongoose]

I think so, but he also acts in other movies (x-men for example, he played The Toad).

I only found out about that when some DVD on TV airing of X-Men mentioned that the one scene in the Statue of Liberty was an homage to his Darth Maul lightsaber.  Come to think of it, Toad had almost as few lines in that movie as Maul did in Episode I.

It may have been a choice...maybe George didn't want to a great villain other than Darth Vader...

[Wobble73]

Are you all forgetting the one villain in all the films? The Emperor?

[Mobius]

That wasn't a pure villain like Dark Vader...he was more like a "behind the frontline" operative...

[Titan]

more like a big raisin

[General Battuta]

I don't think you're saying quite what you mean to say. He was more of a pure villain than Vader. Nothing about him was redeeming, except possibly the argument that he was trying to unify the galaxy in preparation for the Vong invasion.

[Topgun]

Vong is BS anyways.

[StarSlayer]

ugh Vong, destroyer of my interest in the Expanded Universe.

[Titan]

too bad a rule states that all SW novels and comics are canon

[Flipside]

The best bad-guy from the books was Thrawn imho, I was kind of hoping he would be making a cameo appearance in the prequels.
