    I honestly feel like the reason Maul was SOOO larger than life WAS his lack of lines spoken, causing the mystery to feel captivating and intimidating

      Great point. Perfect sith trait to have..just pure evil, that look on his face throughout the movie says it all. You completely understand his thoughts & intentions without needing him speaking lines

It's why Maul was cut from 'The Clone Wars' after
      Serafinowicz had recorded dialogue. Interestingly under Disney it's the other way round, with Park welcomed back while Serafinowicz is in the cold. (Although mostly due to contracts, unless the time he played an unfrozen zombie Walt upset them.)

    The secret of Darth Maul's success was Ray Park's obvious martial arts ability and his intensity whenever he was on screen. Ray Park seethed and paced. He embodied the Sith's reliance on strong emotions to power them. As menacing as Darth Vader was in his armor, Darth Maul's facial expressions and body language were the most intimidating things to me. Ray Park doesn't get enough credit for the acting he did as Darth Maul. There's a reason why his fighting scenes are considered legendary even over 20 years later.

      I don't know why this is such a popular opinion. Maul had no character going for him, he was just the muscle to Sidious' brains, so to speak. It would've been boring to see Maul pretend to be anything more than this fearsome Sith Warrior. Which is why when they did bring him back in clone wars for fan service they pretty much ruined what gravitas he held in the movie. Maul's not supposed to have a backstory. Like Yoda, the mystery behind him is what makes him cool.
      Dooku by contrast is the kind of character where backstory would've been much appreciated since he is a complex figure. He's a former Jedi and was Qui-Gon's master. He truly believes in joining the Separatist cause for the good of the galaxy. He wants Obi-Wan to learn what he sees is the truth. He's a conflicted character, and spending more time fleshing him out would've done more to enrich the prequels.

    I had kind of a split reaction to Darth Maul. On one hand, I saw a lot of advertising before Phantom Menace was released, and he looked like he was gonna be an elaborate new villain, like a really big deal. On the other hand, though, when I saw the movie, I was disappointed to see he had little to no dialogue, and I felt like it was kind of a wasted opportunity to get to know him better, especially since he was around for only one movie. Though some say that his silence makes him more intimidating and mysterious, which I can kinda see, but for me personally, I like my characters speaking more, especially if they have a lot of buildup to them.
    I'm so glad, though, that Maul got a lot more attention in following Star Wars media, he deserved it. And holy hell, they did a damn good job with him! The ways he survived and dealt in his own way with what happened afterward were very believable. And he actually turned out to be a pretty sympathetic character, again, in his own way. There were a lot of things he did that were terrible, so he was still solidly a villain, but man, was his life sad! He could never really win against his enemies, he never really had the approval of his master, and his life was completely wrecked at the end. Talk about getting chewed up and spat back out.
    It was interesting, and honestly a relief, to see that at the end, Obi-Wan seemed to show him some compassion in Star Wars Rebels. The way he held Maul as he was dying was really quite touching, and intriguing. It makes me think, if they weren't so pitted against each other being Jedi and Sith, what would they have been like towards each other in everyday life? Despite everything Obi-Wan suffered because of Maul, Maul's most hated enemy ends up showing him mercy at the end, and caring enough to be there for him in his last moments when no one else would or could be.
    Also, I love what Ray Park brought to the role. He is very physically fit to do a lot of Maul's acrobatic moves. Though I thought it was kinda funny that his voice turned out to be too soft. LOL Park seems like a really nice and funny guy in real life, too, I watched his Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim a few years ago talking with James Arnold Taylor, and he looked like a ton of fun to be around.
    And of course, Sam Witwer is always fun, I first heard him when he voiced the Son in Clone Wars. He does a pitch perfect imitation of Palpatine, too, and he was perfect for Darth Maul as well. He also seems like a friendly and funny guy in real life. :) I also appreciate that he had his own dedication to the character to bring him more to life, and he did a great job. :D

    Ray Park did all of his own fighting and stunts including all of the flips, butterfly twists through the air etc. If you see Darth Maul, it was Ray Park. No stunt double unlike Ewan and Liam who were heavily doubled. Ray was a champion martial artist and gymnast. Aside from crazy presence and aura, he had such a beautiful and acrobatic martial arts style that it makes it even more amazing to see it with brutality together with the stylish killing methods

      There were so many potentially excellent villains in the prequels, Maul, Dooku and Grievous are all very interesting characters.

Each one of those characters could easily get a full movie and still have plenty of story left.

      The fact we see so little of them slowly allows them to become fan favorites, maybe more-so than if they had been in every film ?.
      One thing that is certain though, regardless of them being killed off, is their coolness level. Even General Grievous, Dooku, Jango Fett....so many baddass characters that don't really last long. Yet we got more than we wanted of Jar Jar etc.

    • @keithbeckett1349
      @keithbeckett1349 7 лет назад +6

      But we don't exactly like them due to their killcount etc, I mean...how many people do we really see Darth Vader kill ? we know he can...but he doesnt just go about killing people...he has intimidation and respect, I guess its about whats implied by the character, not exactly what we see them do.
      Just as we know Vader is a beast who could take on pretty much anyone and win, Boba Fett is a bounty hunter...he has an awesome set of armour with cool weapons, so we can only imagine who he has taken out or 'hunted' down throughout his career.
      i think what it comes down to mostly, with Fett atleast, is hes just cool...simple as that for allot of people. His identity is mysterious also which can make him interesting to some people (even though we technically know who he is and what he looks like now due to the prequels, Jango Fett, clones etc etc but for many years nobody really knew as he was never unmasked)

When I left the theater on opening night there wasnt a single person who wasnt yelling and screaming and cheering... well except for me and my roommates. Nobody really noticed Jar Jar. I remember being in the apt hearing late night tv night after night making fun of Jar Jar Binks and I knew exactly what was going to happen. I saw all of this 18 years ago. I saw people acting like they hated the Phantom Menace from the beginning when they really didnt. They just gave into peer pressure. I didnt. I just made fun of people for being weak minded and allowing a stranger to tell them what is cool and what isnt. David Letterman is an idiot. He was never funny. Yet thousands of people let him dictate what President should be voted for, made fun of and harrassed. Ill never understand it.

      I like the prequels, they successfully expand on the creative world of Star Wars and give us amazing lightsaber fights and locations, even if the storyline isn’t that good sometimes.

      I completely agree with you; Darth Maul's death in Rebels was horrible -- the kids show should've stayed away from Maul. For one, Obi-wan is too old. lol I am surprised that his arthritis and chronic back pain didn't act up during his duel.

    • @MikhaelAhava
      @MikhaelAhava 7 лет назад +4

      Dammit, y'all not getting the point, the duel is more symbolic than epic [as seen in the video about samurai, he does not want to fight]. Besides that, you can see Obi Wan tricked Maul into thinking he's using Ataru then Maul did the same trick as he did on Qui Gon, this time Obi Wan is prepared.
      It shows a lot of their character as time went by.
