## Resource

“Maul: Shadow Lord” just finished its first season, and the full trio is back to take stock of the whole thing. Matthew, Alex, and Erin dig into what the show got right, what that Vader appearance in the final episodes actually means, and where a certain young Jedi is headed now that her master is dead.The conversation covers a lot of ground. How does Vader’s cold, strength-heavy fighting style land against Maul’s more tactical approach, and is some part of him carrying the memory of Anakin’s history with this guy? What does Spy-Bot’s death reveal about Maul that the deaths of loyal Mandalorians do not? And what does Devin’s arc, her doubts, her rage, and that final scene where she grips the dark side with a quiet smile, say about who she is going to become?The hosts also get into the bigger picture: Asajj Ventress and the question of whether she shows up in season two, the Night Sisters lore threading through “Ahsoka” and where it might cross into Maul’s world, and a genuinely heated debate over which is the worse Star Wars film, “Attack of the Clones” or “The Rise of Skywalker.” The answer, it turns out, depends on whether you think cinema is about craft or story, and how much being part of a larger story matters to that question. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations , an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network .
