Ideally, you have Maul as a building threat. Hint at him in the first movie. Have him be badass. Have him kill a major character or two. The heroes ultimately defeat him, but he escapes and lives to fight another day. Then you have him show up again in the next two movies, being most effective and badass in Episode II, and eventually being killed for good in Episode III. Instead of cranking out Dooku and Grevious to fill that role so they can sell a couple more toys, just have Maul play the second-in-command role for the entire trilogy, only dying shortly before Palps manages to seduce Anakin to the Dark Side. Could even try to salvage the scene from RotS where Anakin beheads Dooku, with Maul in that role and that scene being the pivotal moment of choice and not just a throwaway moment in the beginning of the film before he turns later.

Though if you want to keep that moment, I'd almost be more inclined to keep something like the "Mace stupidly going to arrest Palps" scene, then have Anakin take a more active role in protecting Palps. Ending with Anakin beheading Mace himself.

Maul's supposed to be the Vader of the movie. But he's basically Vader if Vader got a third of the screen-time, almost no dialogue, and then he died when Han shot his TIE Fighter in the end. He should have been more proactive, more vocal, and more of a long-term threat. Instead, he basically becomes a punchline.

wow, no wonder you hate it. you totally missed the point of the movie lol
