Maul Shadow Lord Eps 7 & 8 Live Deep Dive: The Emperor Wants Him Dead and We Have Thoughts
from Star Wars Time · host Star Wars
Matt and Nick sat down live for a full deep dive on Shadow Lord chapters 7 and 8, "Call to Oblivion" and "The Creeping Fear." These are the best two episodes of the season so far, and they deliver on nearly every front -- action, character work, lore connections, and a psychological breakdown sequence for Maul that reframes his entire arc in the most compelling way the character has ever been handled on screen.The show covers personal reviews of both episodes, top moments, easter eggs and lore references including Savage Opress, the Duel of the Fates audio callback, the Revenge of the Sith title connection, and the arrival of the Eleventh Brother. The big debate centers on Maul's lifelong abuse at the hands of Sidious and whether that makes him a more purely tragic figure than Anakin Skywalker. Also on the table: episode 7 dialogue that points pretty firmly to who Marrok was reporting to at the end of episode 6, and what the Crimson Dawn name drop at the end of episode 8 means for the finale.Listen and subscribe on Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/starwarstimeshow Subscribe on YouTube: YouTube.com/Starwarstimeshow
