Join the Watch for week three of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord. In this episode we break down both chapters scene by scene to analyze the story, fine comb for easter eggs, and explain how it all connects to the larger Star Wars Universe. These two episodes, "Inquisition" and "Night of the Hunted" see new conflicts come to the world of Janix.

  • The Empire arrives on Janix
  • New information on Brander's wife is revealed
  • The Inquisitor Marrok hunts Maul, Devon, and Master Daki
  • The name of a new Star Wars sport called botekin
  • Mac stays hating on Two-Boots. 
  • Theories, speculation, lore, and more
  • The sickest dark side on dark side lightsaber duel we've maybe ever seen
