Once again, we will pass on the ship of this set which I do not particularly appreciate.

Side minifigs, there are good and much less good.

The minifig star of this set is Darth Maul. He looks great with his thorns on his skull.
The face is well stylized, we can guess the Sith, no doubt about it.
 
I would have liked the torso to be a bit more dressy, and let's go crazy, that the legs were also printed.
 
Note that the thorn top is removable and that the traditional Darth Maul hood is provided.
The other minifigure that highlights this set is the famous Captain Panaka. The dressing is consistent, the colors are homogeneous, the face as well.
 
The cap seems a little too cartoonish to me, I would have liked it more angular, less "soft hat". But despite everything this minifigure is a success.
Let's move on to what annoys: padme.
I don't quite know what the intention was with this retro looking minifigure and colors.
The face is appallingly silly, the hair is a "brown" color, and the black legs / blue and gray tunic ensemble is miserable and in bad taste.
 
In short, this is not the time that Natalie Portman can be proud of her plastic representation. Qui Gon Jinn is equally distressing, with his mustached biker side, beard collar and slicked back hair.
