Maul – Shadow Lord: Chapters 7–8 (The Creeping Fear + Call to Oblivion)

For the first time, we get to look through Maul’s eyes. He sees the galaxy darkly.

In “Call to Oblivion” and “The Creeping Fear” (Maul – Shadow Lord, Chapters 7–8) we dive into thorny thoughts on brothers, Inquisitors, and Maul’s deep-seated pain. We parse Devon and Daki’s ties, and why they were paired together as Master and Padawan. And we talk through the mechanics of Mandalorian betrayal.

This episode is also a masterclass in reparenting your inner child—so big kudos to Maul (not as big as the kudos for Spybot, who is simply and atrociously the best).
