Star Wars Episode I : The Phantom Menace: Darth Maul (Ray Parks)

Comments for death : Star Wars Episode I : The Phantom Menace: Darth Maul (Ray Parks).

this is definetly my favorite deth of all time

meh. A plastic cgi death in a plastic cgi movie.

I wished Darth Maul would have lasted longer. He is infinitely more of a threatening villain than any of the old dudes they have in the other two movies. Of course, even if he did last longer, he would have had an even more disappointing death, so I guess it was better to get it out of the way first.

I agree he deserved to be in it for longer. Considering the amount of time they spent pissing around and not really getting anything accomplished in the second movie, they could have definitely gotten rid of Dooku and replaced him with Maul and then had him team up with Greivous in the third film.

Just throwing my two cents in: although I liked Darth Maul, I disagree that Count Dooku should be done away with. General Grievous added almost nothing to Revenge of the Sith; he was just in it to sell more toys.

I'm aware that he was also in the much-ballyhooed Clone Wars cartoon series, but regardless, he's a totally pointless character within the confines of the film. It would've made infinitely more sense to keep Dooku alive a lot longer and do away with the Grievous character altogether.

I agree with Kooshmeister, i think General Grievous added very little to the final film, apart from to showcase how difficult an opponent he will be in the "revenge of the sith" computer game.

I would have like to have seen Dooku's role expanded, partly because i like Christopher Lee and also because more could have been made of the parallels between Dooku and Anakin (i.e. both betrayed the jedi for the sith).

That said i did enjoy Darth Maul's dancing fighting style, although his death was bordering on the ridiculous IMO. He could easily have chopped Obi Wan in two as Obi Wan performed that somersault manoeuvre, but instead we are led to believe Darth Maul watches passively until it is too late....

Would this fall under Hacked? Maul was, after all, HACKED in half.

Slashed through seems to make more sense.

p.s. It appears "Darth" is a legitimate word in the spell-check.

Bit of a typo - Ray Parks? Ewen McGregor?
