The Maul of the animated series has gained a lot of praise from fans who see more depth in the character as a result.

This has often sparked interesting debates among the fanbase. The best part of owning a lightsaber for personal use is the ability to pretend to be a Jedi or a Sith. But it can come at a price. A hefty but expensive one, to be exact.
