I never liked the story of Maul surviving, only to be killed by Owen either. The only Maul spin-off that I enjoyed (though I can't remember where it is located) was when Maul tracked down Vader to join forces with him (or something to that effect). Vader kills Maul by stabbing himself with his lightsaber which impaled Maul, killing him. I would accept that spin-off as a suitable death for Darth Maul, but I can't accept Owen killing him.

To me EU stories bringing back people are really horrible. I can deal with and usually enjoy stories involving characters from the series or waht led up to the series but brining people back to life is just stupid. There is no doubt to me that Darth Maul should have survived in the PT but that doesnt mean we shoudl bring him back just to kill him again.

Not for the first time, either!

So, Darth Maul is so inept he can't even kill a 9 year old kid?

Well, he wasn't after the kid actually... so that is why he didn't kill him. He was after the Jedi. But if he really wanted to go after the kid, he would have made more of an effort to get him.

Maul was defeated by a Padawan Learner. Nuff said. He wasn't fit to live on.

How can you argue he wasn't intentionally trying to take out Anakin? He had the whole desert to use as his vector to the Jedi's ship...and he deliberately takes the ONE path that would require him to run Anakin over. He could have taken any approach he wanted, yet, chose the one that would have killed Anakin...He may not have been trying to kill Anakin as part of his mission parameters, but he certainly was at least trying to do it for fun. When you have the entire open desert in front of you, and you choose to take the one direct line that requires you to run over someone else, and you don't adjust your course, you are trying to intentionally take them out, period.

The reason might that it's more dramatic to have the main villain bearing down on this innocent little moppet rather than just pulling up and drawing his lightsaber.
It makes Maul seem a little deadlier.

"The shortest distance between to points or locations is a straight line."
If Maul wanted to get to the Queen's transport asap... he headed straight for the ship and whoever got in his way was just collateral damage and no doubt ignored. Anyone notice the direction his speeder was headed once he made it through the bluffs? He made a b-line for the ship, the Queen and the Jedi. The kid was an afterthought. Though I believe Maul would have realized what he felt from the kid after the fact. Maul tends to be single minded.

Quite  Besides what would he see in an apparent useless little womprat raggamuffin (sue me I'm old school lol)?

I wonder I Maul was able to sense the Force potential in Anakin? I know the Jedi Council could when he was before them..

I doubt it. Qui-Gon didn't sense anything initially.
