What makes Darth Maul so cool?

I am in total agreement with you.I hate Darth Maul with a passion.He WAS the biggest piece of cheese next to Jar Jar Binks.He was a horrible villain.Totally stupid and not at all a believeable looking villian like darth vader was.He looked like one of those wrestlers out of WWF.Him and Jar jar Binks were stupid and ruined that movie more than anything else.

how good he fights is kewl! He flips and jumps and the dual sided lightsaber rocks! The face paint is mysterious. It kinda gives him a rebellious look, like a tattoo. He seems like a biker dude, who does his own thing. I hated that he died in ep1! He needed to survive all 3 prequels. It would have generated more fan base, and filled GL's pockets a bit more.

First of all he has a very cool lightsaber and second of all he has a creppy voice and third and last of all he is just cool!JM

the way he fightswith all that jumpin

he fights like a beast

The judgments of those who thinks he's cheesy are pretty no sense.
Ray Park with his high level skill in martial arts transform the final showdown in Episode I in an epic battle.He flip, leap, slash and show his own against two Jedi.2.
And he was an apprentice, like Obi Wan, but he defeat a Master.Maul's look and his voice make him looking like a demon, a beast.When he was separated from Qui Gonn from the laser door, QG starts to relax and focus himself on the battle, Maul provokes him, smiling with a bastard face and walking forward and back like an animal in a cage.

Maul is a baddass character either way you look at it, double-blade lightsaber, awsome face tattoo, and frickin horns! But he was almost even more baddass with his cloak up than down. And I think of his identity more of a mystery then non-existent.

Yes it sux that he died in episode I, I would have liked him to go all the way through to episode III - either way I agree with Creechuur, it was appropriate that Obi-Wan is the one who killed Maul.

Jedi90 - I have one question - how in the hell is Darth Maul an "unoriginal" character? Lucas knows nobody will EVER top Vader and he's not worried about that.

Darth Maul vs Darth Vader would be cool – but never would have happened even if Maul survived. Maul vs Yoda, now that would be exciting, they both have the jumping, spinning fighting tactic, and was somewhat likely to happen.

💃 K... I wanna know your opinions on why Darth Maul is the shit.

His lightsavor for startes and his cool face!jm 🙂

The coolest thing about Maul is his confidence and style.

What i liked about Maul was that he was very no nonsense get the job done kinda character. He only speaks once and what he says is basically his mantra in life, "I am a sith and i will have revenge agaisnt jedi" You can probably see him walking around thinking that to himself day and night. He is a soldier.
Also I would argue maybe one of the best fighters with a saber in the star wars world. He is very young mind you and not even fully developed in his powers yet he is fighting both Qui Gon ( who is very good) AND his apprentice??? For all intensive purposes he won too, but his confidence became his over confidence and he let down his gurad to early and Obi pulled out a awesome force move seemingly out of nowhere and dispatched Maul.
I think Maul was awesome. So many characters have so much to say, its realistic that one might find more solice in taking action more than speaking words.

As for the vs. segments of this post. I rate Maul a little higher on the fighting ability than most of you I think. I think for instance he would give both vader and dooku a run for their money though i don't know who would win with Dooku and Maul but i must admit i am pretty sure vader would win.

When I saw Episode 1 I missed when he was killed and I thought he would be an ongoing villan and I gotta say I was disapointed... 🙁

did you see how he killed qui gon? there was enjoyment in his acts, ya he is full with pure rage

sarumon!!! thats all i see when i see dukuu or how ever u sdpell it im rally drunk 💃

Spelling: Saruman. Dooku.

You are right, Saraman was played by the same person as dooku as well.

Personally, I dislike Darth Maul. Mostly because of idiots who go on about 'OMg!!1 Lyk Drth Maul wld pwn evr1s @ss!' and his bland voice. Maul is only good against two or less Jedi, a three or more is way too many for him.

Does Darth Maul ever say anything n the movie? I don't remember...

I think the reason everyone likes him is because hes a very dark, mysterious, sith lord who looks cool and fights well also

again Darth Maul sucks as a villain because of reasons already mentioned.
