Just curious - what do you guys like about Darth Maul? I know a lot of people like him, and say he's the best thing in Ep 1, so I'm curious what it is about him that people like.

(and I know, being the best thing in Ep 1 might not mean much...)

I think The best thing about Darth Maul as it was our first look at something different...

There was no Vader and Vader had huge intuition with the force...

Darth Maul although he had force powers was a lesser being than Vader who very much relied on a combination of technology and skill and force powers.. And he looked quite scary and he had a double light sabre staff.

He had a bit of uniqueness design quality about him and he was portrayed very much like a henchman tracker and hunter.

Darth Maul was like the Boba Fett of the PT but not only this he was a very talented Martial artist and athlete and he played the part well to boot amongst a lot of drab crap he was something that stood out as ok well that was good.

Adywan should hire him to do more on TPM he lives in the UK or is from the UK, I reckon he would be up for it personally. He seemed like a good bloke
