Technically, I didn’t really miss the movie. It’s still in some theaters, and I could go watch it if I wanted to. But it’s dubbed into Spanish – and I’ll be damned if I have to listen to the one or two lines Darth Maul has in the entire movie and feel like I’m watching SPACE ZORRO.
Of course, I’m well aware that Maul appears later on in several forms, like cloned and “oh-hey-look-they-brought-me-back-to-life”. It’s almost like the guys realized they didn’t truly have a surplus of awesome characters so they decided that maybe it wouldn’t be such a good idea to kill off the really awesome ones they did have. It’s like they’ve got a bad case of superhero comic book writer syndrome.
Oh well, guess I’l have to wait until it’s released on BluRay (or whatever we’re using in the future) and 3D televisions are not just good but affordable.
So probably never.
Good hunting;

I could not agree more with the sentiment given in the comic. Tho it should be Annie on the floor as well… And / or Jar Jar to certain extent.
*SPOILER*
Actually, Darth Maul didn’t die. Aided with the dark side and consumed by his rage and hatred toward kenobi, he managed to survive. He even got cloned and his clone faced Darth Vader claiming that Vader wasn’t a true sith and didn’t hold enough power to defeate him.
After facing Obi Van Kenobi, Darth Maul was only half the man he used to be.
If he showed up in later installments, he must have pulled his stuff back together.
It really pissed me off that Lucas killed the most awesome sith lord.
Died or not – he was best fighter in six episodesand and lost a fight unfairly, because hero must survive (writes are unfair, not Kenobi).
Jedi danced as he wished, he lured them where he wanted…
yay! darth maul gets the girl!
Hello,
Long time reader here. I loved this strip, and couldn’t help but think of a video BelatedMedia posted on Youtube. It’s called What if “Episode One was Good”. I’m not saying it was a bad movie, but this guy makes a really good point (or a dozen really good ones) that would have made the movie truly epic. One of the better points is NOT killing Maul.
