That, and the battle with Maul has no weight to it, because we hardly know who he is. It doesn't matter. They could have been fighting a battle droid for all we cared, the character was so under developed. Compare the wight of that battle to the one in Empire.

Why did we need Maul all that developed, he was a pawn, and underling, he was there to be cool, look cool and then eat a light sabre. He was basically the Boba Fett of the movie. He did get to kill a Jedi Knight to show how developed as a Warrior he was.
We didn't need his back story, or him having long drawn out conversations with his Master.
We learned that he was going to be the face of the Sith's revenge revealed, we knew that he was well trained.
good enough for me, and I really liked the fight, and I like that Obi Maul segment after his master was killed, you could feel the blood lust radiating off of Maul as he paced behind the shield starring at Kenobi.
You felt the conflict in Obi as he looked at his masters body and he attacked with a fury.
Maul didn't need to be developed, he needed to be a threat, which we saw, and then he needed to die, which he did.
I'm sure that DS didn't even lose a nights sleep over the thought of Maul dying, he served his purpose like a porpoise
