Yeah,
Maul should have escaped, battered and bruised by Obi Wan, but still having killed Qui Gon and creating the reason for Obi Wan to train Anakin.
Maul could basically slide into Darth Tyranus' role in the next two, and even Grievous. After 3 films, Obi Wan finally avenges Qui Gonn and kills Maul, only to return and find a corrupted Anakin.
