I don't think Lucas would have mishandled him. ANYTHING other than looking awesome, flipping, killing and dying would have ruined him.

I think he looked like he was wearing 'MC Hammer' style pantaloons and flipped around like he was an acrobat in a circus.

^ Darth Maul on his first summer job before he got the tatts.

The only thing that was cool about Maul was the voice and there was precious little of that in TPM. There was probably more in the TV spots and trailers than in the actual film. I'd have liked Dooku to have been in all 3 which would have at least given the PT some kind of symmetry and emotional resonance.
