Well he didn't do nothing. He was the only hunter who made it to Bespin tracking Han, and he had the guts to speak to Vader as an equal. He was quite the fearsome character in Ep V. That was ruined in Ep VI mind you, but Ep VI ruined a lot of stuff.Yeah EP V started his hype train, but then EP VI just crashed it.
Why all the Boba Fett hate? Calling him overrated is way too harsh, man, come on... You're right about Starkiller though. And Maul, well, he fulfilled his purpose perfectly in TPM, he was always just muscle for Sidious, and that's it. He was never an intellectual and a strong political figure like Dooku, or a promising young "Chosen One" like Vader. Disney have decided to give him a little more personality, by adding more aspects into his game, and IMO have ruined the character somewhat. He was always perfect as a silent cold-blooded assassin, he didn't really need much else. And it was always more interesting to me personally, how he became Sidious's apprentice in the first place. An EU novel Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, which serves as a prequel to TPM encompasses Maul's personality and role in the SW Universe better than anything Disney have done. And he is much more menacing and dangerous in the EU as well. Maul didn't have to get involved in politics and have ambitions of his own, that just wasn't him. And he should've died in TPM (he is considered dead since TPM in the EU/Legends lore, as far as I know). I'm not even starting on the fact that they took Kenobi's well-earned frag away from him by making Maul survive all that. Justice is served now, I suppose, but still. I would say that Maul wasn't overrated for what he was. But Disney hape overblown his premise and made him into something he was never meant to be. So I'm 50/50 with you on that one.I mean I'm not giving Boba Fett any hate, he's actually one of my favorite characters... If you include all the stuff that's been written about him. If you're just talking about the movies then he's overrated, EP V hypes him up, but EP VI just ruined him lol. But if you include all the comics and books (maybe I think there are books about him haven't read any) Then he's a good character.
Excuse my blasphemy but him, Boba Fett, and Starkiller from TFU are all over rated characters.
Boba Fett literally did little to nothing and was thrown into a monster's pit due to a blind man randomly waving things.
I don't know. One the one hand, I feel there should have been more. On the other hand, it harkened to a fight along the lines of the samurai battles in Kurosawa films. I liked that Maul tried the same trick he pulled on Qui-Gon, only Kenobi was completely prepared (similar to how on Mustafar Anakin tried to use the same trick Kenobi did against Maul only to get shut down).Yeah and also people are forgetting that Obi-Wan had become super powerful due to his training during his exile. Of course he's going to kill Maul in one blow.
It was very anticlimactic. I personally would have liked it to be a bit longer, with Maul being smarter with his attacks. I actually prefer the fancy stuff but to each their own. I personally didn't see anything wrong with Maul surviving TPM either. People often forget alot of the EU was easily more ridiculous than Maul surviving Naboo.Yeah I do find EU to have ridiculous things and just not good don't get me wrong, I'm just saying Maul coming back was a bit stupid. Excuse my blasphemy but him, Boba Fett, and Starkiller from TFU are all over rated characters. Maul was only made to be a "cool villain" because of the theme dual of fates. Boba Fett literally did little to nothing and was thrown into a monster's pit due to a blind man randomly waving things. Starkiller was just a poorly written character created to make a quick buck.
