I reckon Maul's appearance in saga was nothing short of perfect. He had a few lines, a killer personality and agenda and died after an epic duel and I cannot imagine him in ep 2. Christopher lee played his character extremely well. He had the perfect personality to carry out the plot of ep 2 - leading war etc.
If I could change PT:
TPM:
- Replace Jar Jar with someone who is funny yet not spazzy and a royal pain in the ass.
- Make the battle droids less cheesy - oh oh - [the droidekas were fine though]
- Theres a limit to how much I can critisise Jake Llyod as its hard for any child to play a part perfectly but he wa annoying as hell - his lines could do with a brush up. In fact just kae him older to make it less dodgy [Padme etc.] and for room for a better actor [I think Daniel Logan would have done better]
- Viceroy Gunray and his ugly friend were OK only the Chinese accents were not really suited to them.
- Instead of all this save the queen and gungan city s**t have it so Ani has already been found and it starts with him being tested
- For GOD's sake when the epic Maul duel happens just get rid of those bloody scenes in between - I don't want to see gobsmacked little Ani trying a spinning trick and Jar Jar stomping on a droid and saying "Meesa no have a bommer!"
AOTC:
Reaplce Hayden with someone who can act and doesn't look so perfect - like the perfect teeth and hollywood appearance. Its so unrealistic when his son is an average looking Mark Hamill. I know Lucas wanted him to be a total whining teenager and a total wuss when it comes to beautiful woman but I BEG TO DIFFER! I'll make it so that this Ani is far more mature and seems like nothing could break him yet we can still sense his deep resentment of being held-back etc.
- When it comes to love relationship something even slightly similar to Solo and Leia would be good. Cuz that method seems to wrok better in real life as a pose to Ani being a foot-kissing doormat to Padme [which is VERY unattractive]. AOTC has if anything been a bad influence on men.
- Make the jedi more powerful - that Arena scene with all those jedi was great but it made the jedi so weak
- Make Kenobi and Ani more like brothers than slapstick buddies - something that can be further expanded in Ep3. Han Solo and Luke's relationship is vaguely what I'm talking about
- Get to the point quicker - maybe have the Clone Wars start earlier
- Have Asajj Ventress in it as well to increase the lightsaber action it could be a link to ROTJ - a battle in the forest - I think it could really work- maybe have Kit Fisto dueling too so we can relate to him dying at Palp's hands in ep 3
ROTS:
- First of all the opening scenes were good overall plotwise but those droids NEED to go - they are even worse than in last films. Is this like some super attempt to make it as childfriendly as possible - even giving Droidekas dumb voices!
- More screen time for Dooku definetly
- I'd have the babies born earlier and I would'nt have Palps being so nice to Ani - I'd make him ensnare him earlier and become more and more crueler as film goes on
- I'd make General Grievous less spazzy and stupid - I'd make him exactly like Clone Wars - scary voice not dumb voice - and much tougher.
- Make Kenobi and Ani's relationship even stronger - like brothers. I mena can you imagine Han Solo and Luke argueing to point of death - it would be truly painful [assuming Han was a jedi too]
- Make Ani more frightening and unpredictable - it is clear from early on in film that Padme and him are having trouble - not any of this romantic tittle tattle we see in ROTS. Though still have some romance yeh
- Make it more believable Palps going from classy elegant chancellor to the cloaked monster we see in ROTJ. That means we see Palps more cruel when he is not got his faced messed up. And make his lightsaber duels faster - when he kills 3 jedi - make it faster than the eye can see! And make Yoda versus Palps longer! Oh and while were at it remove that pathetic giggling during the Palps/Yoda confrontation and battle of wills
In final Ani Kenobi duel remove those stupid fly by droids that take attention off battle

I liked Dooku alot better than Maul to be honest. He had more character. Christopher Lee is an astonishing actor. Ray Park is a martial arts guy. His fighting may be superb, but it just wouldn't be right for me to take him over Lee.
Despite how cool Maul is, his character does not need to live for more than 1 Movie, he was just supposed to mark the beginning of the sith conquest.
What I will do
-Changes the writing of all 3 films, so it isn't a bunch of crap
Episode 1-
-Jar-Jar is in the movie, but not obnoxious and stupid as hell
-No little Anakin, his lines suck
-More battle scenes, more Jedi, Maul kills more people
Episode 2-
-Completely re-done
-No Yoda fight scene
-Count Dooku gets much more coolness, like he did in ROTS before his whimpering death
-Jango Fett does not exist, the Clones are of someone else, Boba Fett's character lives untouched by Lucas
-No crap dialogue
-Anakin isn't a little bas****
Episode 3-
-Better Dialogue
-Dooku lasts somewhat longer, doesn't die stupidly
-Grievous gets a cooler seen
-Less CGI, more plot
1. The Geonosis battle would have been longer
2. In ROTS, show a lot more Jedi being killed
3. Yoda and Sidious battle a lot longer (with lightsabers)
4. The Jedi with Mace put up a better fight
5. Jar Jar Binks never shows up in AOTC or ROTS. Possibly killed by droids
6. Attack on Jedi Temple shown in detail
7. Anakin gets angry and slices Padme open in his rage, to find that the babies pop out of the cut. Obi-Wan fights to defend them, and eventually wins.
8. Give Plo Koon, Aayla Secura, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, or the rest of any other characters that kept on popping up lines. It's boring just looking at them!!!!
9. Less love scenes with Anakin and Padme. What a bore
10. Grievous should have fought better.
I could go on for a few more, but I'm bored

its the same reason boba fett is so cool, because of the mystery. its one of those characters that couldve evolved throughout the story. he couldve turned into such an in-depth character.
actually jar jar binks started the clone wars technically :P

it would have been cool if eps 1 and 2 had dooku as the supposed master and maul as just some thug that the sith just trained and used, same as grevous.
it would have preserved if not broadened the mistery of palpatine, as we would clearly see a supposed master and apprentice.
face it, as cool a warrior as maul was, he did not fit the bill to be a sith. all he really seemed to be was a mindless hitman.
But to be serious... she didn't look so healthy during ROTS. I mean, c'mon. She's supposed to look attractive, not like some scrawny frizzled haired freak. If I wanted to see that, I would send 50 volts into Nicole Richie.
