Animated cartoon was too anime. The characters were good, but it was just bleh. CGI has better apperance, and duration, but the characters aren't too great. For example, General Grivieous in the animated ones killed a bunch of Jedi like a badass. In the Clone Wars, I believe he only killed one Jedi and one fat Tradoshan and a few gungans. But he always runs away and loses.

Only characters I like in the new CGI series is Ventress, who beheads, stabs and force chokes alot of people. And Savage Opress, who does the same. Oh and Dooku, who pulled off a Magneto and made a pirate shoot his own friend using the Dark Side. Cad Bane earned a nice spot, since he snaps necks and does many things that is not for children. Everyone else is meh. I don't even bother watching the Jedi/Republic scenes, which is half the entire show.

Didn't George Lucas resign from lucasarts?

However, Maul survived through his hate and will to live, and hatred against Kenobi, he reached out with the Force and grabbed an air vent. He somehow escaped from Naboo and arrived tohttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lotho_Minor in order to escape his master's anger for Maul's failure. Maul acquired a six-legged http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cybernetics apparatus to replace his lost lower body, and stayed in the caves of the planet. For over ten years, Maul's memories were lost and he was in state of near-madness, eating only the little animals that came to the cave, but the only thing he remembered was Obi-Wan Kenobi and how he took his legs.http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Maul#cite_note-The_Wrath_of_Darth_Maul-2
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mother_(title) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Talzin, the leader of the Nightsisters, was the only one who knew that Darth Maul was alive and in http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Exile_(punishment)somewhere in the Outer Rim. Around http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/21_BBY, over ten years after Maul's defeat, she gave a http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nightsister_talisman to his brother, Savage Opress, to find him again. Opress left, promising Talzin that he would return.http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Maul#cite_note-Witches_of_the_Mist-3 Opress found Maul on Lotho Minor with the help of Nightsister talisman that contained Maul's blood, but Maul attacked Opress and defeated him. Opress introduced himself as Maul's brother, but as Maul had not been aware of his kinship to Opress prior to losing his memories, he thus did not recognize his long-lost brother. Opress presented Maul with the talisman from Talzin, and subsequently reclaimed fragments of his lost memories, and the former Sith Lord was brought back to Dathomir to be treated by Mother Talzin.http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Maul#cite_note-The_Wrath_of_Darth_Maul-2

He later meets his end against Darth Vader.

Because Darth Maul is the sole reason for anyone to ever watch the Phantom Menace more than once.

If they're going to bring back an awesome character who has a slim chance at ever surviving, then where is Boba Fett?

Or at least Aayla Secura, at least she got big boobies.

I honestly have very little interest in watching this show, but as a proud Star Wars nerd I will say that of Darth Sidious' apprentices, Darth Maul had the most potential to become a great Sith Master. Jedi just don't make good Sith. Its not something you become, its something you are born for.

I would agree. The whole Darth Vader thing is different from Darth Maul. As a Sith, Vader just could not cut it. He did not have the passion for the Sith Order; Vader was tricked into becoming a Sith. He did not embrace its ways like Sidious and Maul did.

Witness Maul's line in the Phantom Menace; "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge!" This is someone who knows what he's talking about. he knows what side he's on, no hesitation or regrets here.

Its obvious he does not want revenge on the Jedi for stealing his candy when he was a baby; Maul wants revenge because of the oppression the Sith suffered under the Jedi; the complete repression of their beliefs and the extermination of their way of life.

When Maul fought, he fought for the Sith Order not for himself. Thousands of years of hatred, rage and suffering as his legacy and with the entire future of the Sith Order are at stake from Maul's point of view.

Now witness Vader's line when he becomes a Sith; "What have I done, what have I done..." Yeah, i don't think he really gets it...

Vader only became a sith to learn a sith force technique to save his wife. When Vader fights its for some petty slight he feels has been done to his person (padme cheating on him with Obi-Wan).

Basically: Darth Maul spends his free time training, scheming how to kill Jed, and anyone else who gets in the way of the Sith, and plans for galactic domination and the entire destruction of an aeons old galactic ruling body (The Old Republic). Darth Vader spends his free time rolling on the grass with Padme. It does not take a genius to figure out who will win in a confrontation between the two.

It's not that. Where's the dramatic tension? The good guys always win. Why do I care? It's like knowing your garbageman comes and goes every day. It's a boring tedious thing that really isn't fun to watch. Now if your a little less sure if he's going to arrive, or there's a strike, or someone dies and there's garbage everywhere. Well damn did we just turn a boring situation into something more interesting. A conflict a hero has to overcome! See what I'm saying? It's just sloppy, boring, and uninspired writing. What happened to shows like Cyber Six, Batman Beyond, or other good cartoons? You know where bad things sometimes did have to happen to the good guys to make the eventual come back that much sweeter. Or where they had other ways of making us care. Hell even something like Fairly Odd Parents has more dramatic tension than Star Wars Clone Wars and it's a damn comedy! Not a bad cartoon either.

They brought Boba Fett back in the tie-in books and comics and stuff. Try telling a hardcoe Star Wars fan that Boba died in Return of the Jedi. Just bring a plastic sheet to protect you from the ensuing typhoon of nerd-rage spittle that will be directed your way.

I cannot see what is so special about Darth Maul. He almost does not say a word in the entire movie. The audience doesn′t really get to know his intentions aside from kicking jedi butt. He has no character whatsoever. The same happens for all characters in the prequels.
Perhaps i′m not as good fan as I used too.

Apparently there was a http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Duel_on_Kalakar_Six between Darth Vader and a resurrected/cloned/whatever Darth Maul. Near-suicidal self-loathing apparently goes a long way in deciding duels.

That aside, Darth Maul is still awesome.
