what if the PT came first?

I doubt they would show Anakin's transformation into Vader or have Yoda fighting at all. The ROTS would end with Anakin at the lava and Padme dieing. You would never see Anakin being suited or Sidious naming Anakin, Darth Vader to keep the suprise of the ESB. I guess. The PT and OT would be completely different.

It was David Prowse you fool! He said it on Xfm (london radio station) about last year, rubbishing the PT (he has a point).

And as David Prowse was technically Darth Vader (or one half arguably) it works. He said Darth Maul was rubbish. Darth Maul is/was rubbish. Deal with it.

Darth Maul wouldn't be as cool but maybe Jar Jar wouldn't be in the PT

maul, looks cool and all, but is still a descent sith, just beacause he was killed by obi wan doesnt mean he sucks 😗

No thats not the reason. He has little character and the character he does have is dull and boring. He lacks emotional depth and complication much like Greivous.

He is pretty much just eye candy, like most of TPM.

Ah.. I thought he was somewhat menacing and interesting.
But the Maul fans I just don't like. And they probably don't appreciate the sig wich is a good thing.

yessiree

Yes. A certain Jackstain a about 8 months back (havnt got a clue if hes still around, hopefully got banished) was the ture Maul fanboy. This was my weapon against him xD

maul is cool, but im not a fan.

He is cool. He's supposed to be cool. But being cool doesnt neccesarily mean a good character.

yep. if he wasnt supposed to be cool his face paint would be yellow and blue, or something to that effect.

Hmm. maybe. It's more the horns and the double bladed lightsaber really. Trying to create an interesting villain yet purely making the interesting parts physical.

I mean look at the Zabrak in the ANH cantina scene (I'm sure its a zabrak...) and look at Maul.

i dont understand.

Well in the OT Darth Vader had a great presence. The breathing, the suit, the voice...

In TPM Darth Maul is supposed to be one of the villains yet he lacks the presence of Vader. Of course, he is not meant to be as good and cool as Vader etc. but still he is not that interesting, even with a double bladed lightsaber.

As as his was the first in a Star Wars film it like Lucasfilm couldnt think of anything to kmake his character interesting so they just gave him a cheap piece of flashy euipment, like his starfighter and his swoopbike.

well, they prolly didnt wanna go into depth because hes only in 1 movie.

Look at Dooku? He barely gets more screentime than Maul and yet he is incredibly interesting...

well, that is also due to the books, and he was a past jedi master, that explains most of it.

No. Even without the books Dooku remains an interesting character. A gentlemanly dark lord of the sith? how charming. Although lucasfilm did try a kind of 'Maul' thing with his saber 😬

i agree.
