actually durcell that is pretty bad ass too. I could take that one as well. Darth Maul was suich a good character I have a hard time believing lucas came up with him.

A good... cartoon. Not in any way a good "character".

For a "character", we get to know waay to little of his actual character. But what we actually get is no idea what he's doing on Tattoine (is he supposed to track the ship? or the Queen/Jedi? or just scare them), and a lot of stupid stuff that doesn't make sense - why does he send out a bunch of search droids into the city, in hope they find the passengers whose identity he doesn't know, so they lead him to the ship he's just tracked to this site of the planet, instead of surveilling the SHIP which he'd just tracked, or at the very least, sending out the droids to find the GIANT SHIP IN THE DESERT?

Even if he just wanted to scare them for some reason, so they can get to Coruscant - the droid thing doesn't make sense.

A good CHARACTER doesn't make stupid, nonsensical stuff in an idiot plot. Darth Maul is a dumb, chaotic person, and has no character - all he has is his charismatic appearence. He's a CARTOON. And a damn good one for what he is.

I was going to give him some slack and laud his tactical genius in swordfighting but no - his biggest feat was luring away Qui-Gon into a trap, and that only worked because Qui-Gon acted so self-confident and dumb. That, and Maul was obviously surprised by the force fields, so did he REALLY know where he's going? But hey, could've been acting.
