I like her because I am a big nerd who likes Phantasm

That's an extremely bad comparison, though? Darth Maul was just some rando who got chopped in half without ever doing anything important.

And yet he had a million toys, comics and a bunch of cartoon episodes dedicated to him, or him with robot legs.

Maul did get a storyline on Clone Wars later. He's apparently coming back for Rebels.

Did Qui-gon really do anything important either? Last I checked, the only essential things that happened in the first movie was a really rad handful of racing scenes and also picking up Anakin.

if you think about it, Maul was the only sith in the history of the franchise to successfully kill a jedi on screen

windu and the younglings were slain by a fellow jedi technically

vvvvv e: ffffff boy it's been a while since I've watched those movies when that one didn't come to mind at all :shepface:

I know it's just a name fans gave him, but I choose to believe that TR-8R didn't know who Finn was, and he just yells his own name before he fights people.

Darth Maul was voiced by Peter Serafinowicz and it's a crying shame prequels were so poorly received and the man didn't get more recognition.

Then again Maul survived being chopped in half and lucasfilm knows the internet likes the guy so he may very well be alive and will appear in some comic or something.

Neither Phasma not Boba Fett were played by Peter Serafinowicz. Advantage: Maul.

40k gets a lot of weird crossover fan art, at at least star wars makes sense since there's quite a few comparisons to be invited. An artist somewhere just liked the overlap of someone who loves melee and loyalty.

To be fair, the official Star Wars site had an article about the guy that says he was only wounded, so it was probably an official retcon in response to his popularity.
