Maul: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

This week, James brings us everything we need to know about Maul. April 6th is the release of the first 2 episodes of the Maul TV Series, Maul: Shadow Lord. Before that comes out, we wanted you to know all about the man himself in this deep dive into what made him who he is. We break down Maul’s origins, his training under Darth Sidious, and how his apparent death became the beginning of something far more interesting. From his rise to power on Mandalore to his role as a criminal mastermind, we explore how Maul transformed from a tool of the Sith into a character driven by revenge, survival, and ultimately purpose. We also discuss his relationships with key figures like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Savage Opress, and Emperor Palpatine, and how those rivalries shaped his destiny. Plus, we debate: is Maul truly a Sith, or something else entirely? Whether you're a longtime fan or just rediscovering Maul’s story, this episode covers it all—his best moments, his most brutal fights, and the legacy he leaves behind. Grab your double-bladed lightsaber and join us as we unpack the tragedy, rage, and brilliance of Darth Maul in this epic adventure. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
