I’m playing with the idea of removing Darth Maul from every scene after Tattooine until he shows up for the duel. I think it’s kind of a neat idea to sort of forget about him for a while and then those doors open. It makes him showing up a bit more epic. All he does in the other scenes is stand behind Nute Gunray anyway.
You could just cut those scenes all together. That’s what I did for my (vanity and amateurish) edit. They kind of diminish Sidious as well.
