Darth Maul should never have died. In my opinion it should have went like this:
Darth Maul kills Qui Gon and flees Obi Wan
He returns in ATOC and fights along side Dooku against Anakin and Obi
Finally, Maul, Dooku, Greivious, Vader and Sidious should have had a final show down against Plo Koon, Mace, Ki Adi, Obi and Yoda.
Jedi loose, Yoda and Obi escape. Leaving the sith. Vader and Sidious then betray the rest and kill Maul, Dooku and Greivious.
But off course looking at the story now i'm way off.
So, in my opinion. No, he shouldn't have died.

One of the main difficulties with the PT is that it's purpose is to further the storyline to where the OT begins - because of this Lucas can't have too many villains running around only to abruptly kill them all off in the last minutes of Episode III to fit ANH. I think Maul's death had to happen to make way for Dooku and Palpatine/Sidious, plus Vader of course.

well if (of course he already died) he died,then he should of died some other way.he did die a pathetic way.have to admit.because what obi did was very slowly push himself up then sliced down in the middle of maul.he could have blocked it.

Nope. Id have rather had Maul remain Sideous' apprentice until Anakin could take him out. Dooku does nothing for me.
On another note do the banners in this part of the baords (TPM) never change?

Darth Maul was impressive. But I think he did all he could do. It was important to see how the great Obi-Wan Kenobi that we knew from the Original Trilogy became a Jedi Knight and so Maul was used for that purpose, I think.

I think the fact that people so badly want more Darth Maul shows how succesful Lucas was in creating the character. If he'd survived and ended up in AOTC then maybe he wouldnt be much of a fan favourite.

I love Darth Maul but I like the idea of him dying in that it parallels what happens in Episode IV. I can't take credit for this following illustration because I saw it in another thread on another board, so whoever thought this up, thanks!
Episode I - Darth Maul dies leaving Sidious by himself.
Episode IV - Obi-wan dies leaving Luke by himself.
Episode II - Dooku is now Sidious' apprentice.
Episode V - Yoda is now Luke's master.
Episode III - No spoilers here, but come on, we all know what happens.
Episode VI - Yoda dies, leaving Luke and Leia as the last Jedi.
In the prequel trilogy, Sidious keeps losing his apprentices and in the classic trilogy, Luke keeps losing his masters. It's also funny to see the "rule of two" unofficially being used by the Jedi to defeat the Sith, the same way the Sith used it to defeat the Jedi.

Yes, he should've died. He fulfilled the functions for which he was created. There was no need to keep him around.
TPM: "Darth Maul needed depth. We should've been told about his motivations, his backstory, etc."
AOTC: "Giving Boba Fett a backstory totally ruins his mystique. He was so much cooler when we knew nothing about him."
