I don't see Maul as a forgotten villian or character, but rather he served his purpose in the story, because he killed Qui-Gon, which led to Anakin becoming Obi-Wan's apprentice.
Secondly, Maul's death was the chain reaction that led to Palpatine having to find another apprentice. If Maul had killed Obi-Wan as well, then Anakin most likely would never have become a Jedi.
Lastly, when I see and hear the title of Episode 3, "Revenge of the Sith", I always think of Maul, because though he had few lines, the most important line he said pointed to events of Episode 3, as if a prophecy.
Maul: "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi, at last we will have our revenge"!

I think Darth Maul is remembered well for what he is: a cool design, and nothing more. There is essentially nothing to his character, so he will be remembered in the same fashion TIE Interceptors or X-Wings will be, as cool production designs. Anything beyond that is simply EU or fanfic filling painting over a blank canvas in a person's mind. The general public is going to input their own back story or fairy tales involving Maul, so they will only remember him for his looks, just like any other tool or mechanical contraption in SW.

forgotten, are you out of your mind? He is quite possibly the most popular character thus far in the pre trilogy. Dude is talked about all the time.
For the record, Maul is one of my favorite characters in SW. Probly my 2nd favorite after Mace Windu.
Another thing, i dont think GL expected Maul to become so popular. I think that if GL were to remake TPM, maul would have substantially more airtime.

Maul is definitely NOT forgotten!!! All of my friends love maul, and I must say that I'm obsessed with ep. I
The dual between Qui-gon, & Obi-wan vs. Darth Maul has been the best lightsaber battle in the entire SW series. Of course, DM didn't play a very big part in SW, but if he had killed obi-wan, there would be no anakin.

HEY! Darth OWNS!!! Dooku is an long-faced old man that doesn't look cool. Emp and Maul are the best 2 sith. I don't count Vader cuz he never truly was a sith. he had constant flashbacks whenever an event happened to him when he was young. he had guilt and felt remorse whenever he did something evil. it would show if his face wasn't covered up, which probably symbolizes a truly great man trying to be evil, like the phantom of the opera.

How could Darth Maul possibly be forgotten? He is by far the coolest Sith (other than Vader) with the red and black tattoos to go along with those yellow eyes. His dark side abilities were awesome; he fought two Jedi at once and nearly won.

Maul will always be remembered for his fight with obi and qui-gon, but its a shame that more of his character wasnt revealed because me and most people I talked to really liked him

Maul was one of the few things that made TPM bearable. He rocks! The reason he’s not mentioned or seen in AOTC or ROTS is…um…let’s see…HE’S DEAD!!!
