4. Darth Maul In... The Search For More Than Two Lines Of Dialogue
As with Mace Windu, is there really a character here? On the other side of the debate, few characters with, like, three lines of dialog have made more of an impression on the geek community. Star Wars nerds eat this guy up - as the recent Clone Wars episodes and nearly 15 years of bad tattoos have proven. And he's a great movie monster - as good as Freddy or Jason. Maul isn't a mustache-twirling villain. He's the Star Wars version of The Terminator. Don't give him an origin story, don't show us a young man turned to the dark side, and certainly don't give him a chance at redemption. Like The Phantom Menace, he shows up fully formed and ready to lightsaber anything in his path. It wouldn't be my first choice for a spin-off film, but it's on the top of a lot of wishlists. And please, Disney, give the guy some dialog. You know, complete sentences and everything.

And of course he can speak Bocce - it's like a second language to him.
