Given that Darth Maul's hasty, underwhelming death in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace is often cited as one of the film's biggest flaws, it's fitting that the licensed video game actually allows players to replicate that all-too-brief showdown.

Unsurprisingly Darth Maul serves as the game's final boss, with the player controlling Obi-Wan as he seeks to avenge his fallen Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

There are numerous ways to win the fight, most commonly battering him in a lightsaber duel or hammering him with a flurry of proton torpedoes, but there is an altogether easier and more hilarious method.

If you're quick, you can spam your force-push powers a few times to shove Maul into the bottomless pit in the middle of the room, wrapping the entire fight up in less time than it takes to have a sip of coffee.

Granted it doesn't always work 100%, as Maul may end up flipping away from danger, but if you're quick off the mark, you've got a good chance to end this thing in record time.
