>>717581893 (OP)I was 8 when The Phantom Menace came out, and indeed, I thought he was the coolest shit. Nowadays, I just can't understand why Filoni, or whatever that dude who's obsessed with the prequel era is named, is so obsessed with him. To me, Maul perfectly represents the sad state of modern Star Wars: a franchise obsessed with specific iconography, that's in the hands of a dude who suffers from arrested development.
