Zoom. Every single point the Plinkett review made were points actual Star Wars fans made since opening night of Episode 1 and every single criticism was warranted. I was 8 when TPM came out and even then (after being obsessed with the special edition tapes since ‘97) I knew it sucked. The Plinkett Review is literally how every real Star Wars fan felt about them constructed precisely and in detail.
This is psychologically what happens when a generation is exposed to “new thing” before “original thing”.
If it makes you feel better, TPM is the best smelling of the three landfills the prequels were.
>role in the movie
He’s not a homosexual, quite unlike OP.
No but seriously, Maul is a great character. >At last we will have our revenge
While you -can- read this as the revenge of the sith, Maul has no connection to them; they were destroyed thousands of years ago. So what caused young Maul to get into the Sith teachings?
The answer, obviously, ties together with the consistent anti-alien policies of the republic. The Jedi then perceive Maul as a demon for his beliefs, so he leans into that with black tattoos that accentuate his horns and make him appear even more satanic.
>Maul = We need a laser sword fight.
I can't deny that he comes off as very marketing-driven, but narratively he's there to show that the Sith are back after a thousand years and that the Republic's golden age is coming to an end. It's just rather inept like everything in the prequels. My point is that he doesn't have to be a deep character for the purpose he serves. Dooku being horribly underutilized would be a stronger criticism.
Maul is a glorified Boba Fett. That’s fine, but he’s a glorified Boba Fett in a shitty movie with a convoluted plot.
In the prequels, politics and the politics of war take center stage. It becomes less about the characters and more about the conflict leading to a story not worth following and countless characters who act only as plot devices for the politics of the world, not an epic journey. He represents nothing except “bad guy”. He doesn’t serve as a moral foil, he is merely a physical obstacle the hero’s have to overcome.
ALL characters are made to serve a story’s plot in some way, Maul just has absolutely no substance and was a lazily written villain.
you aren't funny
he fight good
He's a gay just like op
The dude in the first star wars with the double thingy with the... and he kills ummm
...
Done. Easy.
he has a double-bladed lightsaber
Silent, relentless, and cruel. An evil force of nature which pursues his enemies and will destroy them at all costs.
You're describing a Chimpanzee hunting a monkey.
Based
>Monk-like
Kek.
>role in the movie
Loyal apprentice, no nonsense, mission focused, understated (keeps a low profile), master of his craft.
>cruel
Where do we see that in the film?
>that bit where he is toying with obi wan while dangling
Star Wars Satan. A galaxy far far away was actually hell.
gay whisperer and Broadway dancer
Someone who triggers RLM watchers who cant form an original line of questioning lol

Plinkett just summarized complaints that already existed. Some of them were moronic, sure, but not all
boba fett of the prequel trilogy
>Phantomic
>Menacing
Religious zealot, hellbent on corrupting the apparent chosen one to his own faith in order to destroy the jedi
>you need to be this psychotic to like the prequels
It might help but the sole qualification is moronation.

intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor
He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
He was sheevs bussyboi
illegal alien attack space cops
cold blooded, stern, loyal
We’ve came up with new jokes since 2009, you should give them a whirl
>heavily tattooed satanist biker is gutted over losing his first fight to the chagrin of his adoptive grandfather
la criatura demonica
The guy who kills Qui-gon Jinn
A mostly silent, intimidating predator who is unrelenting & ruthless when it comes to pursuing the heroes. More of a malevolent force than a man.
The RLM boomers can suck it.

Describe Palpatine from the OT without doing those things. He's just a throwaway villain in service of the story.
The Emperor = We need a character that represents true evil to act as a common enemy to forward the son redeeming the father.
Maul = We need a laser sword fight.
One of those characters serves the story, the other is neon fluff.
Also “Palpatine” doesn’t exist in the OT newhomosexual, he’s simply “The Emperor”.

He is a Dathomirian. Anyone could guess which character you mean if you told them that.
