Maul has the most menacing look of any Star Wars villain, Vader included. He was cut in half despite earning only a few minutes of screen time, but people still talk about his terrifying horns and double-sided lightsaber to this day. General Grievous is certainly a standout from these films, but no prequel villain stuck with fans more than Darth Maul. Lucas introduced a great number of villains throughout the three prequel films, giving nearly all of them incredibly memorable character designs. The point I'm making here is that George Lucas looked at his lack of villains in the first three movies and more than made up for that in the prequel trilogy. Darth Sidious doesn't have a ton to do throughout those first three movies (and remains one of the characters actually made better by the prequels).

There might not be a movie villain more well-known than Darth Vader, but he's really the only memorable evil in the original trilogy. Here, go back and listen to "Duel of the Fates" again. Those grand operatic choruses are on a level all their own and it's impossible not to be entranced from the opening note.
It's fast-paced and high volume, creating an aura of suspense that helped make the entire sequence exciting. If you aren't familiar with the title, "Duel of the Fates" plays during the lightsaber duel between Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. But there isn't a better piece of music in all of Star Wars than this Phantom Menace banger. You don't often hear this track set as fans' ringtones, and not a lot of people will sing the tune in the car.
As iconic as his work has been throughout the franchise, however, none of it is quite as good as "Duel of the Fates". Even folks who aren't dedicated Star Wars fans can recognize the sounds of the opening crawl or the "Imperial March." It's safe to say that Star Wars wouldn't be Star Wars without the music of John Williams. John Williams' Star Wars scores are perhaps the most iconic themes in movie history.
