His role would had been similar to his brief appearance in Solo as a crime lord. Plus he'd have an apprentice.
"Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comic books, as his apprentice. She was the new Darth Vader, and most of the action was with her. So these were the two main villains of the trilogy. Maul eventually becomes the godfather of crime in the universe because, as the Empire falls, he takes over."

That would have been stupid. But Lucas dropped the Maul aspect early on.

I wonder how people would have reacted to "Leia is the new chosen one." Will they cry like they did with Rey being "the new chosen one"? If he did make that trilogy with Leia as the chosen one, would they have done a Count Dooku and head swapped or would they make the fights like ANH Obi Wan vs Vader? And when will this have taken place? If she was the Chancellor, would she have a "Rey" to be the action proxy? I'm guessing this might have come out back in 2008. She would have been maybe 50 when they made the movie.
Then at the base of it, it kinda sounds like elements of what we got. Snoke is the Maul with Kylo as the Talon. The First Order is basically Crimson Dawn that's destabilizing the New Republic. And reading up on Talon, it does say that she evolved to Jedi Killer to Kylo Ren. She was supposed to seduce Han and Leia's son to the Dark Side. It looks like they just merged them into just being Han and Leia's son.

I think this idea could’ve had a lot of production problems. Anyone with the title of “Chosen One” in Star Wars is earmarked for intense, physical lightsaber battles. No disrespect to the late Carrie Fisher but I don’t think she would’ve been up to the demands of the role at that point in her life. Scenes with her would’ve been more CGI’ed than the prequels.

The potential for Darth Maul died when the character died in Episode 1. He should have been Palpatine's apprentice for the whole PT until Darth Vader emerged.

There seems to be a bunch of conflicting info on GL's original plan for the ST - previously it was revealed GL planned Luke to die in ep 8, after a new female protagonist seeks out a dissillusioned Luke, now we're hearing a different set of plans that were also for the ST. I'm not sure what to believe

I think that's yet another supposed version of GL's ST.

He died fighting Obi Wan in the show Rebels. That would qualify as a retcon. He was supposed to have died in TPM. The decision to bring him back was made over a decade later as a result of his popularity.

Darth Maul was never seen dead in TPM (1999). He was last seen cut in half, falling and looking very angry as he waved his arms.

Same with Han Solo. Ten years down the line they could retcon it to say he'd actually survived and had a whole lot of further exciting adventures - now coming to Disney+! - before dying in order to fit in with ROS. They could deepfake Harrison Ford's right on there so it would be perfect. It would also be canon. And it would also be utter crap.

A few well written animated episodes aside, bringing Darth Maul back to life was ridiculous under the circumstances that he died. Then again, so was the decision that Palpatine survived this...
