Darth Maul wasn't a character, he was a plot device. He was a gargoyle, waiting for people (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | I think that the Gungan army held off to conserve ammunition. They knew that the tanks (oops! Errr... ATT's that is) were not the main threat to them because of their powerful shields, but the Battle Droids were. Why waste ammo on something that (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)
