Though he was only in a few minutes of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul has actually had more screen time in total than Darth Vader, the most iconic villain in the entire franchise. Star Wars has a somewhat bad reputation for creating cool-looking and interesting villains only to kill them off within a few minutes. It happened first with Boba Fett in the original trilogy of Star Wars movies, Darth Maul in the prequels, and again with Captain Phasma in the sequels. Sometimes, as was the case with both Boba Fett and Maul, those villains get a second chance years later.
