Darth Maul or Boba Fett?

Easily Darth Maul.
He killed a Jedi Master in his first appearance, then came back later and was even more powerful and dangerous to the point he conquered planets and Palpatine himself dealt with him.

Maul was amazing in Clone Wars and Rebels. A truly creepy and intimidating presence, and in a wholly different way than simply looking menacing like he did in Phantom Menace. He was intelligent, cruel, deceptive, and well spoken... all the things a good villain should have.
Maul has had the good fortune of having a lot of enjoyable content written for him over the years.
Boba hasn't gotten quite as much action.

Not a big fan of either. Even Phasma has more depth if we're just talking their cinematic appearances.

I actually wanted to include Phasma to have every trilogy here but even though I think she's a cool villain in the EU she's probably not getting another chance after TLJ.
Maul isnt? Boba has more development than Maul which isnt much anyways.

Are we talking just movies or are you including the expanded universe?
Phasma literally doesn't do anything, though. She's all shiny and shit but she's one dimensional and a coward. At least Maul looked cool, reinvented lightsaber combat and actually killed someone.
That's just from their movie appearances, too.
Boba was in 3 movies. Maul was in 1. We know more about Boba in those films than we do Maul.
Honestly a Top 3 name in history along with Cypher Raige and Kale Breckin.

Once again I will say the worst part of TLJ is removing the scene of her final fight with Finn. Does both characters a service and is probably the one time her personality established in the extended universe shows up in the movies.
No, Maul is the symbiosis of a skilled stuntman and a skilled makeup team. His lightsaber is an action figure.
Bobba Fett is the lamest piece of crap character in SW history. I dont like how he is idolized due to being so lame. Oh he has a nice look. Ok I guess it's ok to shove him in prequels just cause he looks cool.
I feel the same of the new shiny trooper from TFA. No real story, always 'fails' doing things and at the end, dies a lame death. How lazy can you get.

I never really got the hype about Maul, even in the Clone Wars. His whole grudge against Obi-Wan felt tired and drawn out.

Where's my General Grievous poll option?
If I had to choose from the two though, Maul brings the best theme with him so I guess that's all the edge he needs, plus he's more fun to play as in Battlefront.

Fett. I dont give a shit about the cartoons.
Im kinda getting back into BF2 and....did they nerf the fuck out of Maul? He used to clean house before, now it seems like he hardly does much damage.

That she was a ruthless survivor never came across at all.
I would've liked her character much more if she admitted she didn't care about the First Order or their ideals, but was simply working for them because surviving is all that matters. Betraying them, too, doesn't matter because if she has to choose between her own life or the lives of billions she'd choose herself every time.
What she did in The Force Awakens would've then been pragmatism, not cowardice, and Finn ultimately defeating her because he finally began to put others before himself would have been such a good character defining moment for them both.
I haven't played since that clone wars drop, but he was definitely nerfed at one point, dude was crazy ridiculous.
Just checking because I know he used to be OP as fuck. You could load up on those dash moves and escape almost any shitty situation.
Also, I think Fett is more fun to play in BF 2. Its pretty entertaining to watch saber users get frustrated as you kite them around the map.
Maul was much better utilised than Fett.
Boba Fett underused in the OT, Grevious in the PT, Phasma in the ST.
Grevious was such a beast in CW, i hate how badly he was wasted in the films.Where's my General Grievous poll option?

So I binged all of the non-prequel SW films this past week (for the first time). I am beyond puzzled at Boba Fett. What exactly does he do/say that's cool haha? His armor is pretty sick, so I guess there's that...

Even if you compare the films Maul wins this considering he has the best fight out of the entire series and the best theme as well. While Fett just stood around for two movies only had 3 lines and flies around for three seconds before being *accidentally* sent into the Sarlac pit and dies.
And he had spider legs for a little while.
It's been awhile since I watched it but didn't he only have those legs for like... half an episode if even that? Like Savage finds him like that but the next scene has him with more normal legs.
He was cool without having to say anything. He also spoke to Vader without fear.
