I think this is one of my favorite looks of any Star Wars character, and I also think, due to this, he has remained popular despite Darth Maul seemingly being killed off in the first movie in which he appeared, The Phantom Menace. Subsequently, he has been revived and appeared in animation and live action again, and people rejoiced! From a photography standpoint, the red and black really catch the eye and make this minifigure one of the more interesting ones to capture. His dark robes also add some appeal, and in the future I am hoping to actually do a lightsaber spinning stop-motion short movie with him and have already started some test shots to see how this would work.
