He clearly took that criticism aboard, though.
Yeah, hindsight, as I said.

To be fair, I'm influenced by the fact that I never gave two fucks about Maul as a kid.
Fairness has nothing to do with it. Doesn't matter if you or I thought Maul was fucking awesome or just some goon. The broader fanbase thought so and it should've been easy to predict.
Yeah, Greavious was cooler and the idiot killed him off just the same.

don't care about Star Wars. Never did. That's not at all what this is about. This is about Lucas creating awesome characters and killing them off immediately before they had their time and that he learned absolutely nothing from Boba Fett.
To go and do something with the character many years later isn't knowing what's up with trends. It's desperately trying to rectify a massive blunder that he'd repeat in the very same fucking project.
He gets zero credit for anything with Maul after the prequels. That's EU and he didn't write any of that.
Plus making Boba Fett the clonetrooper template was overcompensating and equally as retarded.
