Or u can get the box and give the stuff u don't want to a family member
yeah I get it Maul was scary when I was little but he grew on me :p
I never found him scary as a kid, I just thought he had a laughably stupid look to him, and was boring on top of that. I'm sorry to those who love him. I know he has a large fanbase (although I'll never understand why), but I always thought he (and Jar Jar) ruined TPM for me.
Imo Maul actually has the best story of any Star Wars character, unless you're into miraculous conception, midochlorian counts and hatred of sand (anakin.) While I'll admit that it's kind of out there to survive being sliced in half, the Clone Wars/Rebels did so much for his character. Seeing him as a revenge thirsty lunatic with mechanical legs, to seeing his home planet and the magic of the nightsisters, to the siege of mandalore (yet to be fully depicted, which I cannot freakin wait to see one day,) to seeing him get absolutely owned by palpatine, re-emerge as the old master, trying to turn Ezra dark, searching for "hope" (which is Obi Wan) to try to finally get his revenge...and I haven't even read the Maul comics. He is the best fleshed out character ever. I mean we just finally got to see Vader in absolute beast mode for 45 seconds in Rogue One...prior to that we'd never seen a great action scene with Vader, talk about wasted potential.
I think Rey, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, and maybe Ezra might end up more developed characters with more appealing stories, but right now imo Maul wears that crown.
