Guys image if Darth Maul was the main villain in the Prequels. In the second film he would recover from his injury and have a robotic lower half, only alive due to pure hate, like Anakin later on. Then he would try to track Obiwan down. He could learn more force powers and develop into a wiser Sith. He then learn about Obiwan’s young apprentice, Anakin, and with Darth Sidious orders he would murder Anakin’s mother, causing hate and fear to grow in Anakin. In Darth Mauls mind he would be getting redemption but in actually he would be playing a pawn to Palpatine. We could learn more about his backstory. He could have a similar birth story as Anakin but born to a Sith controlled world and found by Palpatine. Like a death match fighting tournament instead of a pod race. Darth Maul looks like the devil but would grow to be less evil through the two movies as Anakin slowly turns into the monster he feared. It would have more symbolism as it would ask the question “what makes someone evil the marking on the outside or the person within”.
