Maul – Shadow Lord: Season 1 Finale (Chapters 9–10: Strange Allies + The Dark Lord)

The thrilling conclusion to Maul - Shadow Lord is at hand—and it raises many questions about the Dark.

In the Maul Season 1 finale (Chapters 9–10, Strange Allies + The Dark Lord), our heroes are greatly diminished, and facing an impeccable foe. The shifting alliances we’ve tracked all season finally solidify, just as the sands in favorite characters’ hourglasses finally run out.

We discuss what it takes to be a Dark Lord of the Sith and how Maul stacks up, and parse Devon’s fall to the Dark. We also make predictions for Season 2, and sing a swan song to the Lawson boys.

This finale was emotional, fast, and brutal, and we hope to bring a thoughtful deep-dive into how we got here and what happens after the dust is settled.
