Maul – Shadow Lord: Chapters 3–4 (Whispers in the Unknown + Pride and Vengeance)

Maul is the king of rhetoric, the master gaslighter, and the sensei of spin. He’s also, like, usually right?

In this week’s episodes, “Whispers in the Unknown” and “Pride and Vengeance” (Maul – Shadow Lord: Chapters 2–3) we talk through Maul’s masterful messaging and how his most seductive ideas are also closest to the truth. We also discuss Master Daki’s unshakable faith in his Jedi training, Devon’s extremely shaky Padawan foundation, and Lawson’s three terrible family dynamics.

This is a special episode: Not just a celebration of May the 4th, but also our 5-year anniversary as a podcast! Thank you so much for being on the ride.
