From Paul to Maul

It's amazing enough to consider that within mere days of moving on from his year-long obsession with "The Beatles" and "The Imagination Movers", Carter has already embraced "Star Wars" with the enthusiasm that I did when I was nearly FOUR times his age! A true iconoclast, though, Carter hasn't gone for the optimism of Luke, the cynicism of Han, or the grace of Obi-Wan--rather, he's fallen completely for the short-live Episode One villain "Darth Maul", a character whose original design was so frightening that George Lucas himself briefly considered NOT using in the film.
