Maul – Shadow Lord: Season 1 Premiere

He’s out for revenge, and he doesn’t care who he takes down with him.

The Maul – Shadow Lord Season 1 premiere plunges us into the gritty, abstracted cityscape of Janix, where Maul is unraveling at the edges. In our recap of “Chapter 1: The Dark Revenge” and “Chapter 2: Sinister Schemes,” we talk through the differences between Janix and Coruscant, and how the moody, macabre styling of this show reflect Maul’s twisted headspace. 

We also discuss our two Jedi on the run, ego death among the Sith, and cheeky chaotic evil droids.
