Who do you think was the best villain to come out of the Star Wars Prequels and why?
While obviously Palpatine/Sidious was the real main villian in the trilogy, I've always loved Darth Maul the most and the fact that he barely spoke any lines and got killed off by Obi-Wan Kenobi as a Padawan at the end of The Phantom Menace is what makes him so much cooler. He was so mysterious and was basically the Boba Fett of the Prequels, except Darth Maul actually did some shit and kick some serious ass unlike the later.
The Clone Wars series ruined him in my opinion by bringing him back to life and giving him an actual character. For one, there is no way he could have actually survived that actual fall especially after we literally some him get his body cut in half by Obi-Wan. It just felt so tacked on and was nothing but a bunch of bad fan service.
But enough about Darth Maul, who do you think was the best villain of the Prequels?

Where are Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, and Director Krennic from "ROGUE ONE" ?
That was also a "STAR WARS" Prequel as well.

Palpetine. I have many gripes with the prequels, but it was always a joy to see Palpetine and him being completely evil. I know many people don't like the idea of the politics plot from the prequels, but I think that with better writing it could've been a fantastic plot.

I like Palps! He is ranked and considered as one of the best movie villains ever. Why?
- He has a brilliantly written plan, slowly scheming himself up to the top by manipulating and playing everybody, and ultimately making them destroy themselves, enemies and allies: The Republic, The Jedi, The Trade/Business fed, his lackeys (Dooku, Grievous etc), the senators (padme/Jar Jar), the senate. Best political allegory every in Si Fi movies.
- He WINS which is so seldom with villains, alas (can't think one genre film where this happens)
- He is a perfectly likeable guy with a Mona Lisa smile and good story teller (Opera Scene)
Apart from that, I like them all but they all stand in Palp's shadow for being - brilliantly designed - standard villains, my favorite would be Jango Fett because he was more a father and human than a cartoon villain, then Dooku.

Sheeve Palpatine is a Top 3 bad guy: Joker, Vader, Palpatine. But I have a soft spot for Jango & Maul too.
