Ah Darth Maul, a.k.a. Darth NoPenis. I will never understand why so many people accept his absurd return after being cut in half. This for me is easily one of the worst creative decisions Lucas has ever made as far as ruining the suspension of disbelief for the world he created but then again, his clone wars cartoon is filled with ridiculous kiddy nonsense that i find insufferable. The way he came back is like it was an idea from a 5 year old, “And then…And then…he got spider legs and was found by his little brother and some witches use magic and gave him new legs!” SMH. And to think that they brought him back just to be cut down by Kenobi again! LOL. It’s pathetic. They could have done so much with this character and that’s all they could do?! Make him obsessed with Kenobi and lose to him again? YAWN. I would have loved to see him seek out revenge against Palpatine for abandoning him and basically making him into a expendable goon. Sure, Palpatine can’t die, but it would’ve been cool if he could go out as some kind of anti-hero striking against the Sith rather than a pathetic fool. I hate that last fight with Kenobi in rebels. If I want more Darth Maul, I will just read the novels, lockdown or shadow warrior or read some of the comics about what he was up to before Phantom Menace but all this ridiculous nonsense about him coming back running around with no lower torso…It’s just absurd. How does he digest food? Or go to the bathroom?
