First teaser for the new Star Wars animated series ‘MAUL - SHADOW LORD’
︀︀
︀︀Trailer releases tomorrow.
Any predictions of Release date for the show? Mine is around May this year
early june
im also thinking may
skipping a Tales release this year in favor of this show
hope it is something full length instead of just shorts
Agreed...
Arent we also getting a new sith, red skinned Twi'lek?
That was shown in a trailer back in the celebration?
Maybe
Sith? You mean Sparkling Dark Jedi? Lol
I dont know. I remember seeing leaks of a small trailer from the celebration.
we are
I looked at The show's Wikipedia page, and it seems the only confirmed characters so far, are Maul, Marrok and the new Red skinned Twi'lek apprentice
6th April! 😄
Chains can be broken. Empires can be shattered.
The two-episode premiere of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord streams April 6 only on Disney+.

Yes! Rook Kast will also make an apperance! 😄
the action looks great
forever glad theyre keeping the tcw art style going
curious to see if they can actually add to the inquisitors in a meaningful manner
nice to see marrok again
Man
Half of the people are complaining that the maul show is animated and that the "quality" is shit
forced hate
Yup
i mean it looks really good. modern clone wars visuals, nothing to complain about. rather see this than kenobi/acolyte/modern disney series aesthetics.
what i am concerned about is the plot
maul is a "good" guy now after being the pure evil guy forever? clone wars he was evil, rebels he was evil, i guess in solo his holo was evil?
Idk what to think about disney potentually trying to humanize every evil dude in star wars, guess i wait on the series itself since the trailer says nothing really. the action is the clone wars standard, looks good.
not a fan of the stormtrooper helmet design.
wonder how it could clash the timeline with rebels
Good guy? Nah no chance
Bro just tries to have a new apprentice
i fear the "we have to humanize the evil dudes" 🤣
We saw how our bro goes in the fights
he attac but also he protecc
I hope the return of Rook Kast, will reveal she is the armourer from The Mando-story
nah i wish at the end we would see how he went over Crimson Dawn
#HotMaul
Is it just me or does Devron remind me of Sahar?
theres slight similarities
this show makes me wish book of boba fett was animated even if the only benefit to that wouldve been better action scenes
im a big believer that underworld content should be more action packed
finished the first 2 episodes, i like what im seeing
the action is super well done, animation is incredible
but past that not super blown away just yet, though this show is doing a lot of things right so far
excited to see whats next
Ohh book of Boba fett would've gone hard!
In animation style
Just watched the first 2 eps. It's decent enough, but afterwards, it suggested that I may also like The Acolyte.
yeah, that show has its issues but animation wouldve made the action far more entertaining
Also, when you recognize Richard Ayoade's voice 😄
especially that speeder chase 😭
disney+ just suggesting anything
i wish acolyte was good they had the setting for something special in their hands
but im glad star wars as a whole isnt just completely cooked, and maul is proof of it
@wraith moon has become a Rising Star of Strike Team Oricon for reaching rank 5.
very promising so far
Maul was pretty good. The Acolyte had everything they needed to make it great, but they ballsed it up so badly...
That's kind of the problem these days with streaming. You can actually spend a billion dollars on a show, and there's no guarantee it won't suck.
And they'll only end up upping the price again, with some corporate speak about offering better stuff.
You had billions to make stuff and you made a hash out of it.
Oh well. I'm happy enough as it is with Maul. More like this, please.
||the art, the music and characters are amazing and so good!! but the officer needs to get his life together, hoping he repairs things with his ex-wife, his son so sad😭
also two boots, love him!! and spybot and Rook kicking ass!!
and i hope nothing bad happens to Devron and Two boots||
im fully ready to accept that the officer dude is cooked 🫡
i will not let them do me how they did me with any character i got attached to in TBB
Yessss especially on the first sentence, I had goosebumps over my entire body when duel of fates started blasting and during that hallway scene.
They really cooked with the show
Spybot is already top 10 characters in Star Wars after these 2 episodes
Maul petting and scratching Spybot is also a top 5 scene of the show already
its so entertaining watching sam witwer do all these interviews for this show
super well spoken and i love that he actually takes na interest in the character beyond the scripts handed to him
please don't tell me this series i didn't watch yet has another quirky or quippy sarcastic robot
A couple friends wanted to watch the first two episodes, I am so glad that I sat down to join them! The animation is fantastic, and I am loving the 2.5/3D hybrid seen in some of the scenes. I don't have a whole lot of context for what's happening as I've not watched much of the other animated series, but it holds up on its own so far.

That's why productions should always cast the nerds, they know what they're and understand the characters beyond the script. Not to forget that he outnerded Dave Filoni
holy fucking tick reference
maaaaan i swear everyone working on this show is showing off
rightfully so
episode 3 is so good
sound design, art, voice work, everything
im now seeing the vision for that 100% RT rating
ok can anyone spoiler free tell me what the plot is about
in clone wars and rebels his story was finished
what is this about?
or is it just random filler?
idk if i want to be invested into the series
It's about Maul and his supporters an unspesified time (a few years) after The Clone wars
The ending of Episode 4. Is that the ||Chimera? (Thrawn's destroyer)?||
It does fill the gap of what happend between Clone Wars, and Rebels, in-terms of Maul story
ok, so idc about it
Doubt it... Probably a ||random ISD||
Rebels did a very poor way of doing him justice and telling his story
This is continuing his operations after Clone Wars and focuses on Maul and a few other characters in the time of the Empire first emerging
I can 100% assure you this is worth the watch
This is far far better then Rebels ever could be
The animation of the show is honestly the best star wars has made. I reccomend at least watching 1 episode, before deciding not to.
It seems to be very much worked on by a team of super talented and hard working artists and nerds such as Sam
It's perfect Star Wars media compared to all the trash live action shit that was put out the last years
This is what the baseline should be for Star Wars
The team that made this show should be the one for all other projects in the future
finished but incomplete given theres a whole 15 year gap
not the chimera
But things happen that are not good for Maul, creating plot.
I love this series, it's like peak animated Batman.
I even had a moment where I thought "this music is batman-like epic"
I was also quite fond of the tea ceremony.
Yeah definitely
Rotten tomatoes has given this series a 100% rating. Best score from a star wars show
Coming after the Acolyte, this show is 100% jaw-droppingly awesomely good 😄
That these two things come from the same house is mind-boggling.
I've seen the first two episodes so far and I'm loving it. I love the style, the animation is so good.
The power of (Obi) Wan? The power of (Ach-) To! The power of Manny!! (Jacinto)
no.
The Power of Krayt, the Power of Bane, the Power of Sith!!! Heheh... (Rule of One, Rule of Two, rule of Many...)
The power of Revan, the power of Bane, the power of Many!!
Bleh... Revan isn’t Rule of One... The joke doesn’t land...
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Jedi Master isn't going to survive his wounds, or is otherwise going to be out of the picture for a bit.
The animation continues to be gorgeous and I can't wait to see where this goes.
Also, Two-Boots, why are you the way that you are?! Agh!
my guess is the inquisitors get him and devon joins maul on a revenge quest
super excited to see the inquisitors for once actually
Can't wait for next Monday 😄
And then hopefully on to season 2 within a reasonable timeframe 😄
Until now, I wasn't aware the actor who portrayed Luke on Percy Jackson voices Rylee
I also have a theory since ||learning that Brander Lawson's wife works for the Empire, what are the odds she's going to be the Imperial "liaison" to the Janix Tactical Defense Force?||
if they manage to make it annual without sacrificing quality that'd be amazing
I feel that's a lot to ask 😄 But at least it's not with Netflix, they would cancel it by default if it was successful.
Disney likes to milk it for all its worth.
tbf disney so far is managing to keep marvel on track to drop a new season of daredevil every year and that show is generally a much higher quality one for disney
so i wouldnt fully put it past them
We might just get lucky 😄
watched 1 episode
maul ain't it
liked him when he was mysterious and silent
now sam slays him. he is a great dude and a great va who understands the matter
the animation is stellar
and even though i love to listen to sam, maul is a giga-mega-hyper yapmachine
jedi jedi blah blah jedi shadows blah blah
and the trashcan robot is annoying 🤣
sorry, this one is annoying
He got a new lease on life after getting halved...
Became more vocal... With a touch of madness... Lol
Darth Yapper
Formally Darth Crickets... Now just Yapper...
it does feel like TPM maul is significantly different to the maul we see through TCW and afterwards, but i think thats moreso because TPM sucked at introducing him
like i dont think palpatine's apprentice would just be someone who has 0 communication and all he does is just assassinate or kill people or act as some enforcer
hes gotta be well versed in as many things as possible, like what dooku was
so i do like them leaning into that glaring missing character point from TPM
like you cant expect me to think palpatine's apprentice is just a dude where all he knows how to do is fight and kill people and does nothing else
Sam Witwer REVEALS why Darth Maul goes from barely speaking in The Phantom Menace, to ALWAYS talking in The Clone Wars!
If Palpatine were looking for an apprentice, he would have to be "BRILLIANT."
Do you like Maul from the movies or shows more?
Tell me what you think in the comments below!

Literally this
What do you expect from the apprentice of Palpatine who is literally a politician and was apprentice to Darth Plagueis THE WISE
Their line is a lot about intelligence, scheming, deceiving and manipulation
flips
less that tpm sucked at introducing and more he had a different role in tpm
in tpm his role in the movie is to be a big scary sith lord so we can have lightsaber fight
he's not meant to be complex in that movie he's meant to be big and scary
Any thoughts on Today's episodes?
Thats acctualy 3 words 😂😂😂
Here is my 2 words thoughts on it (no direct spoiler) Very Extremelyamazinglysomeofthebeststarwarsever!
by now I'd say Shadow Lord is the best animated project and Andor the best live action project
I was screaming and kicking my feet, especially on episode 6
its so much better than I imagined
I love the scene where Maul just trains a bit by himself, idk why, it's just kinda cool seeing him do that
Agreed. Its a scene we rarely see. I dont think we've seen a current sith Lord training by himselg
But have you gotten a mask 😂😂, Majora 😂
I also really liked the detail that he closed his eyes during it
alsooo
I like the scene where his leg gets fixed, I kinda want more with his legs, idk what tho but more
the details are just amazing how he puffs his cheeks in pain during that scene
@misty echo has become a Rising Star of the Sith Empire for reaching rank 5.
the attention to detail is amazing in generel in this
Sam did get face like tatoos to get better visuals for creating the show. Ive seen Sam Witver is willing to go Bald for the role of Starkiller if he becomes a part of the future
actors with so much passion about their roles just deliver better and you can see it
thats why I like him so much
passion for the craft and dedication to the role just make a good character on screen
Sam is such an amazing actor in Star Wars. 1 of the best 😃😃
I've seen a lot of ppl say he should just run Star Wars along with Filoni and I can def see why
Is it me or do I really hope The Armourer is Rook Kast. I LOVE her design, and shr looks like such a great character
I don't think so but I too like her design a lot
but I seemed to me that lately she isn't that sure about Mauls plans any more
I at least hope we learn who she is. Her horn-like helmet does seem like supporters of Maul
Rook?
Saxon was the character we reccognized more, as he appeared in Rebels
I first thought she was Sabine, but this was long before her, then Ursa, but Ursa did appear 😂
anyway I already can't wait for the next episodes
My theory is that Maul, with the help of Devon, The Lawsons will fight The inquisitors, Kill Marrok, escape, the Mandalorians might break off. And Rhe ending will reveal Vader will join S2
And Jedi master (forgot his name) will be killed by Marrok
have you seen the Ahsoka show?
Yes
The lighting makes her hair, and armour look different, but she wears Red armour, and Purple like hair
Kinda
the lighting is a lot darker yeah
so thats not gonna happen but maybe they'll injure him badly or smth
Marrok was allready dead. When Ashoka killed him, it was revealed he was alive due to Nightsister Magik
I need to do tat anyway before season 2 releases
There are theories it might be delayed, due to conflicts with actors
@runic marten has become a Rising Star of the Sith Empire for reaching rank 5.
But if not, we might get a first trailer May 4th
I hope so
It defenitly seems May 4th we will get news. Hopefully Ashoks S2, KOTOR remake, etx
There are also a few scenes where we see Devon, but it looks she has Red Twi'Lek skin color
wdym?
About which 1?
that
she's def pink
I will show screenshots soon, but there were theories Devon would become Darth talon
yeah I know about the theories
Yeah, but therr are a few scenes where the lighting makes it look like Red
I dont really think she will be talon tho
Everytime I see Marrok I think of this meme, and how my SWTOR character's cape does NOT work on my bike LOL
Also? Do you think Vader will fight Maul in S1, or will he fight in (the confirmed) S2?
uuuh I reallyyy don't know
I mean Marrok already spoke to Vader
I'm excited either way
good night for now
Here is a fun fact you might have missed in Episode 6! At the 18:39 mark, as the train passes another station, you can see the figure of a person standing there, Maul
they cooked so hard with the music in the bad batch that they had to reuse a bit of it in episode 5
theyre already tryna clear marrok's aura debt from ahsoka s1
ykw 15 minutes into episode 5 i think theyve cleared it with his screen presence alone
honestly as it stands right now im not too excited to see the inquisitors in action scenes since basically all of them except the grand inquisitor and second sister have been frauds on screen
||I wholly expected Rylee's mom to be in the military or ISB. Her uniform when she called home did not remotely look like it, so maybe she serves the bureaucracy? Anyway, Rylee's world has been turned upside-down. Until yesterday, his biggest concern was winning at botekin. now, he's thrust into events that will strip away his innocence.||
||We know She works on Coruscant at least. ||
they knocked him out for like 3 minutes by dropping a LIGHT on him bro 🥀
all aura farm but also all fraud :/
EAS message: marrok is officially being taken off fraud watch
still hilarious to me that he held his own against maul better than daki
but for holding his own like that he is no longer a fraud like the others
I have a theory that Maul did go easy on Marrok, because if he had killed him, it would've alerted Vader or Palpatine, and they would send Vader after him much earlier
Kinda like how the Grand Inquisitor was replaced by Vader in S1/2
vader or palpatine are stepping in regardless tbf, its maul
palpatine cant have his old apprentice running around as an active threat
since hes directly out to sabotage him as revenge
i definitely think maul wasnt going 100% all in, partly to test if devon would step in or not
Well... In the ending of E6, Marrok says "He is more dangerous than WE expected". Since he is probarly talking to Vader or Palpatine, it seems they thought he is weaker
yeah, realistically marrok aint winning against maul in any world but he gave him a good run for his money in this fight
i definitely see vader or the grand inquisitor stepping in
i hope its the grand inquisitor cause he needs some redemption after they wasted him in the obi wan series, but its probably gonna be vader
Based on trailer it seems the 11th brother is gonnna help out. Also, I have a theory that the 11th brother will barely survive, and contact Vader, which will cause Vader to also play a role in (the confirmed) S2
AKA this guy
very possible
lol someone at broadsword enjoyed these episodes quite a bit
marroks armour set is the daily sale
Ohhhh, I thought I just had a weird little moment 😄 But it's actually his armor 😄
https://x.com/i/status/2046604871936196685 OMG! It's really happening!!!
The Shadow Collective is assembling in Toronto. Meet the cast of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord including Sam Witwer (Maul), Vanessa Marshall (Rook Kast), David Collins (Spybot), & Matthew Wood (B1 Battledroid & other voices) this August. Get your tickets: https://t.co/XKBSCZu9TC
Well.. Marrok did spend the whole episode aura farming
I immediately saw that, replayed it and thaught Oh yeah, thats him and sht about to go down
similar, but I think Maul went easy on Marrok to win over Devon
Evil forum
I LOVE this sequence 😄
Agreed! 😄 I understand why They allready announced S2 even before episode 1 was released.
Coffee!!
I heard a new theory on who The 1st and 11th brother are... And if its true... This show is getting 10000 darker
Unlimited Coffee Power?!!! Lol
No wonder Lawson can keep up so much of the time LOL
And Two-Boots always has a cup ready for anyone
Anyone else read Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire? The dark side doesn't make you evil, just enhances it.
Tell us 
The theory suggestz that The 1st and 11th brother are Feral (I think his name was), and Savage Oppress. Maul's 2 brothers
But Savage definitely died didn't he??
Ressurected by Nightsister magic is what the theory is on how They are alive
yeah i heard about this, honestly wouldnt be opposed to it
neither of them died 'normally' in both Tales and Ahsoka
marrok releases a buncha nightsister gas and the eleventh brother just deflates
if only one of them is either savage/feral i'd put my money on the eleventh brother though
marrok could still just stand as his own individual new character
I watched the last 4 episodes
PEAK
BEST STAR WARS SHOW
MAUL IS THE BEST WRITTEN STAR WARS CHARACTER
WE GOT BABY MAUL?! KID MAUL?! KID SAVAGE?!
SAVAGE IS THE OLDER BROTHER?!
He wasn't taken from birth by Sidious
So he actually knew Savage and Feral and his mother before the old white man came in
Canon says that...
I prefer him being used by Sidious and then used by Talzin... Not Talzin being his mother... As supported by the Plagueis novel...
Eh I like the Talzin mother stuff
Makes it better then the past one where Sidious was just given a baby Maul by a nightsister randomly
Maul has a powerful heritage and it makes sense why Sidious would have taken him especially
And damn
MAUL CRIED
It wasn’t a random nightsister... That nightsister was his mother... And she hoped to give him a better life than Nightsister breeding stock... And instead was given a worst life...
MY POOR MASS MURDERER KET ME HUG YOU
Random Nightsister to Sidious I mean. Instead of a random Nightsister that Sidious didn't knew it was now a grand witch or maybe grand witch in the making who showed Sidious that she is powerful in the force and magic. Someone Sidious knew personally and was even kinda liking for her power but cause she was either too old or just not good Sith material to be his loyal apprentice he took the next best thing.
I don't know man I atleast personally like that more for the story
Sidious wanted a tool... Someone to do the dirty work that would be too risky for him... Plus he needed to sell the argument to Plagueis... So, the youngest heir of a great witch can be a far greater threat than a random witch’s spawn...
We both have our own thoughts on how “tragic” Maul should be...
And so did we
https://x.com/i/status/2049491757943947747 I was lucky to meet him when Star Wars Rebels premiered at Fan Expo Canada 2014
Now that Maul S1 is about to end in around 1 day, what do you think we will see in the finale?
I think Master Daki something something something, will not survive. We will have a cameo of Qira, and Driden from Crimson Dawn, Marrok will die, and potentially a face reveal. Vader will be contacted by the end by 11th brother, meaning Vader will appear in S2, Devon might join Maul, alongside Rook, Vario,
its already ended in new zealand now :p
its releasing midnight local time everywhere
so new zealand already got it like an hour ago i believe
and theyre all saying it was incredible
Do we get a face reveal of Marrok? (Only a yes or no, in spoiler pls)
i havent seen anything about what happens
just that people love it
i still have to wait a while to watch
it released on sunday, midnight? I could stay up for it then 😄
It releases in 17 hours where I live. Timezones are...
Which is also when I start work 🙁
I also read Sam Witwer was in an interview with the direct, and this is what he had to say about S2 release. "It's the usual development cycle... I know when it's coming out, but it's not a situation where the audiences will have to wait too, too long. But I think I am forbidden from saying what I know, but we are working on it. We've been working on it for a while, and it's interesting."
im watchin it now
your words dont do justice
trust me, you reaaaaally want this
just finished ep9
dude i am not ready for 10
thank god they dropped 2 episodes every week
i'd have lost my mind if i had to wait another week after an ending like that
as a courtesy to everyone else i am requesting that all spoilers be discussed with a spoiler tag until the episode has dropped everywhere
everyone deserves to go into these episodes with 0 spoilers
season 2 now pls 🙏
2 ocnfirmed, but with no ETA. Praying it's in 3 months 😄
Maybe a little optimistic 😄
i know, my issue is just that the ETA is not next week 💔
they ended this season super confidently that they'd get another
and rightfully so
honestly i wasnt fully sold on this show through its promotion but i must say
im sorry i doubted you lucasfilm animation
never again
Hahaa, I feel you. If they dropped season 2's 10 episodes right now I would bingewatch until the sun came up 😄
same
At least it's not Netflix. "Oh, season was a success, better cancel it"
well, i know one things for sure with what Sam has said- we don't have to wait very long for season 2 since they been working on it
sam drop it TODAY
you cant end a season with 2 episodes like that and expect me to wait a year 😔
this is my out of context summary of the final episode
i will not elaborate any further until everyone has watched it
1 hour 10 minutes left.
This is one thing I'm surprised loathe as I am to laud Apple at all about Apple TV is their produced programmes generally don't get abruptly cut. Unlike Netflix and the Mouse™....
goodness i have to wait until midnight 
Hmm, with about an hour to go, I could just rewatch teh first 8 episodes.
rewatch the previous two and spend the remaining 20 minutes trying to prepare
whatever preparations you do you are not ready
but worth a try
I feel I need to mediate just to hold it together 😮
I'm gonna get a snack and a drink, darnit.
And maybe eye drops, so I don't need to blink at all.
i'm scared
Sam had an interview with a platform, and this is what he had to say about S2. "It's the usual development cycle... I know when it's coming out, but it's not a situation where the audiences will have to wait too, too long. But I think I am forbidden from saying what I know, but we are working on it. We've been working on it for a while, and it's interesting."
Yeah, I think I read that a day or so ago. I'm not sure what "not too long" is in Disney circles.
It sounds like maybe late 26, or early 27
I got 1 question. Do we get a face reveal or Marrok? (Answer in Spoiler format, with yes or No
How long before it drops for you?
Oof, good luck.
Final predictions for the finale? Do we think Marrok is just a random person never sene before, or is it someone we've seen? I have seen theories that he is Savage or Quinlan (Butchered the name) Vos
Luckily I managed to change work tormorrow to 3 hours later, so I get to watch the episodes when they release NOR time
Haha, I fortuitously have a day off, so I assume the universe sent me a message to watch this.
Last time I got preety lucky too. We were planning to take a Long weekend at the cabin, so I asked work for that day off, and got it. I forgot that day was Pokemon Day
Oooooh. Intresting. Episode 9 is titled|| "Strange allies". Which also shares the name with a comic which also features Savage. ||
If this thing had been coded in 2002, I would have bet I could just put my computer's clock forward and be able to watch Maul.
Maybe today I could use a VPN 😄
But it's only 12 more minutes 😄
||we do not||
We live in the same timezone?
Intresting
Have fun! 😄
WHAT+!
The 2 episodes dropped!! 😮
Yes, at midnight!
enjoy 🫡🫡
Happy watching!
Normally they dont release for another 9 hours. Disney?!?!? What happend 😄
may 4th gift
May the 4th be with you.
||NOT The spydroid!!! 🙁 ||
Right in the feels. Right in the feels.
I am on episode 10..... YUP.... YUP
see what i mean^^
Last one just started. It is epic so far.
Is this an episode 9 reference?
end of 9 and synopsis of 10 i suppose
basically just what youre looking at right now
Also episode 10 confirmed something we did not know if was true or not. ||If Maul knew who Sidious is. ||
^ Because did we ever get confirmed this?
||do you mean Vader?||
No ||Palpatine ||
||yeah he knows sidious is the emperor. he knew most of his plan to take over the galaxy when he was his apprentice as it is||
But did we ever know if ||Maul knew Sidious was Chansellor Palpatine? Or am I confusing it with someone else?||
||maul knew that, yes||
Then who the HUH did I confuse this with?
Maybe I confused it with this.. IDK
Also? ||Did Vario's distraction to capture the canon remind me of when Melch distracted the Imperials in|| The seires finale of Rebels?
Oh, this was peak. Peak fan service too. As a fan I feel peak serviced.
Season two has some very big shoes to fill.
||yeah i thought the same lol, very entertaining||
@wraith moon has become a Rising Star of Strike Team Oricon for reaching rank 5.
And also.... ||VADER APPEARED THIS EARLY?! I did not expect that || 😮
||EVERYONE I LOVE IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHJATD DID I JUST WITNESS||
The finale did answer 1 question. How S2 was announced so early, concidering Episode 1 wasnt even dropped... ITS TOO PEAK
my only disappointment with these episoes was that ||paul bettany wasnt back to play dryden vos||
I was too busy not to have an essential crisis
justified
I have been sitting in my chair, and the only words that have come out of my mouth are.. "Words... Not working... What... OH GOD...," followed by sounds of what the HUH
For the past 20 MINUTES
I tried to mentally prepare for the episode, expecting amazingness.... I WAS NOT READY. Its too peak
@runic marten has become a Rising Star of the Sith Empire for reaching rank 5.
also this bit from the prequel comic! is relevant i guess!
im not happy about it
:[
okay now i'm nervous, should i worry about anything?
What should you not worry about is the better answer
everything
oh no..
Here is my BEST advice. If you think you are emotionally ready to watch it.... THINK AGIAN
basically:
welp..if i know anything about gundam stuff then i know i'm not ready but yikes
I had to sit down, and re-think my exsitence because of the 2 episodes.... FOR 20 MINUTES
Have you watched Andor?
i have
||Imagine re-watching the Gorman massacre for the first time, without any pre-knowledge of rebels||. Now escalate that 100 times,
oh...
Yup.... HAVE FUN! 😄
||They were the Ghor, the galaxy wasn’t watching...||
...
...
Heheh...
uhh, do you think it might impact mental health wise?
Youre asking the wrong person
for a while
mainly from shock
i was drenched in sweat head to toe i had to go shower after finishing the episodes
THE EPISODES WERE SO GOOD BUT ALSO DAMN IT!! 😭
||LAWSON CAN'T BE DEAD!! ALOS ROOK AND ICARUS!!😭
also this pose!! Starkiller pose and that fight with him and Vader!!||
||lawson is alive#trustme||
🏆 Achievement Unlocked
@tall scaffold has earned the achievement May the Fourth.
Coping? Or ||does Maul have a Bacta patch+Bacta tank?||
bit of both really || we dont actually see him die, just like . walk into the fog, and others theorise he might have just been captured by the empire and i want to believe this so so badly||
||but also im painfully aware of the fact that this likely just another situation like tech bad batch LOL||
||Tech was one of those Clone Assassins... Trust me, bro...|| Heheh...
||even if he did, they never brought lawson with them||
||theres a good chance they captured him and hes brought face to face with rylee’s mother||
||i also think he might just might tho part of me thinks he's dead but no body no death and Tech😭 ||
||either way it's bad and him telling two boots " Get him back to his mother " 😭 ||
||He was, we were supposed to get a 4th season but something happened with the rest of the story😭 ||
||oh i can see that!!||

nice
very
actually now that youve got it do you mind testing out the icon display thingy?
havent seen anyone else with it, just wanna make sure it works
i jus did it in #bot-spam and idk if it is (?)
I think we don't have to watch the finale to know that lol
I'm about to watch it and I'm so freaking excited
Here is 2 words to describe kt
This
yeah that fits very well
Also episode 9 ending got me legit screaming... WHAT?!?!
i hold my breath the majority of both episodes
yeah the moments i did breathe i was mostly screaming into my pillow
I don't even know why but I was worried for Maul the entire time even tho we know that he survives
🏆 Achievement Unlocked
@misty echo has earned the achievement May the Fourth.
niceee
also i need to point out the drawn backgrounds, they are so awesome I love how much love and detail they put into this
Holy FUCK those were some episodes
Why’d they have to do almost everyone so dirty
right??? just when you get attached to someone...
Maul lost his pet, his favourite mandalorian, his second Zabrak
I am praying on Marrok’s downfall
We already know the ending sadly 💔
Season 2 would have to pull a small miracle to be as good as the first 😄
I'm sure they'll do that somehow
The feels. Right in them.
they twisted the knife as well
I hope it's just a few months before season 2 drops.
But season one has super high re-watchability 😄
If I have to keep waiting years I am going to cry
Nah, they said it was already well in the pipeline, so I'm not expecting it to be 2027.
There was just no ETA yet
im sure they do
Lowk why’d they have to leave Tiny Tim alive but kill off Rook
im sure they already did s2
Ngl I love how Maul has absolutely no connection to Mandalore aside from the darksaber now 😭
and he doesnt even use it
Ngl I think it’s fair cause he’s trying to get used to his double bladed saber again atp
And it’s too valuable to just carry around
nah I love how he changes fight forms from time to time
Yeah
Im honestly impressed that he was holding his own tbh
His legs are exploited every 3 seconds tho
he needs to get them fixed asap
he was very well trained by sidious so... not the most pleasant training but it def keeps him alive
and an excellent duelist
I saw an intervirw with Sam, and this is his words on S2
Daki managing to score some hits on Vader as well was honestly impressive
This is the interview
Does he just naturally speak like Maul now
and it sounds very promising
nah green apples
those are the secret to the dark side
I saw that! 😂😂😂. I love it! 😄
its so random and funny
It sounds resonable to think it will be fully released by May 4th Next year
I hope we don't have to wait a full year
but next year may 4th would make the most sense
come to the dark side, we have cookies
come to the dark side, we have green apples
It would satisfy me to no end if it released by 5 may THIS year.
revenge of the fifth... you're onto smth
The Power of One... Versus the Power of Many...
...

-# Heheh
In the good way. Qimir vs everyone was the 1 thing they did well 😄
Kelnacca, the wookiee, did nothing wrong!!!
same i was feeling the vibe of that one episode throughout the first 10 minutes of this episode
but done even better
I think Maul figured out this in the finale of the episode. ||As he figures out Vader isnt an inquisitor, and how he is so powerfull, he could figure out that Vader is Palpatine's new apprentice. And also during Siege of Mandalore, it seems Maul has visions that tell him Anakin is a key to Palpatine's plan.||
||yeah that wouldve been my answer if told me that you did mean Vader||
You know what would be AMAZING for s2? ||Starkiller||
oh i completely forgot, since im sure everyones seen the episodes by now i think we can chat freely without spoiler tags within this thread now
this is a nice ask for s2 but he'll probably be a very different character from what we know
what i really want them is to use the grand inquisitor more
if we really need a really good and justifiably powerful imperial duelist, it doesnt always have to be vader
hes losing his shock value even if theyre doing him justice every time he does show up
i can't stop thinking about that awesome shot!
Their fight coordination is amazing
Just peak star wars
theyve used quite a few sounds straight outta force unleashed in this show too
and other media
I’m genuinely wondering if Rook might actually be alive
The more I think about it the less it makes sense for her to scream after you supposedly hear her neck snap
So I’m wondering if Vader just broke her legs instead
yeah I love the references
rule of thumb in any kind of franchise, if you don't see them die on screen, you can never be sure that they're really dead
that sound effect was a force choke, not the neck snap
you hear that sound often when they start using it
rather than when they break something or when it stops
I don’t think a force choke has really ever sounded like a mix of a growling animal and bones snapping
And you can’t really scream loud enough to be heard from a decent distance away whilst being choked
Plus Vader normally snaps the neck of the people he chokes or chokes them fully to death, Rook was still screaming after it audibly stopped
looking back theyre super inconsistent with force choke sfx
sometimes you hear that sound at the moment the person is killed, sometimes you hear it when they start getting chokes
sw and its inconsistencies 🥀
regardless rook is 100% gone
however she went out
Debatable, I imagine we would’ve seen Vader’s lightsaber sooner had he used that and the scream went on for too long for her to have simply been choked or had her neck broken
you really cant rely on sound in sw
as i said theyure super inconsistent with it
if it was realistic sure you wouldnt hear a scream but it is anything but realistic
and we're talking about darth vader here, what use does he have to keep rook alive
Yes, but we’ve never heard anyone be that loud whilst being choked before in Star Wars
^^
There’s a Difference between inconsistencies and straight up things that have never happened before
they do a new thing every time man
i cant be bothered to keep track of all this anymore 😭
im just taking it at face value, she got dragged by vader and vader isnt leaving anyone alive unless they have use to him, which rook absolutely doesnt
she couldve if vader was 100% certain that maul will escape but as far as he was concerned he wasnt letting anyone leave that planet alive
No she's dead dead, her voice actor said so, also they were going to make her death way more horrible 😭
Also. I LOVE the fact that there are 8 lightsaber blades in this shot. Maul+ Inquisitors got 2, while The Jedi got 1 each. ALL 8 blades are touching a different blade 😄
Here is a good question? Could we potentially see Gar Saxon joining Maul in S2?
As last time we saw him (Timeline wise, based on Maul), was in the siege of Mandalore during S7 of Clone wars,
Probably not... Unless the Empire forgave him... Cus he was in Rebels...
Do we know anything about when Saxon joins the empire?
Because there is a 15 year gap between his last apperance and rebels (give or take)
Nope, I would guess he became an Imp after the CW... He seems that snake-like...
turns out they did 😬
it just was off screen
Full Q&A for the "Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord" season 1 finale during the May the 4th Star Wars Day screening event on the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank. Participants are Lucasfilm President and Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni, Maul voice actor Sam Witwer, Supervising Director Brad Rau, and writer / Executive Producer Matt Michnovetz, ...
I’m going to hate on this show until season 2 comes out
Whoever decided everyone had to die is going to be on my list
They deserve to experience every single layer of hell
I hope Icarus beats them half to death
I pray for their downfall
||Rook, Spybot, Icarus and Scorn, they all desrved better, tho awesome to see Vader again but yeah..
i knew Daki was't going to survive but also damn😭 ||
why laughing emoji?
Because funny... Interesting how people reacted to ||Shadow Lord pulling a Rogue One for everyone in Maul’s crew||
My only question is why did they have to do it
We’re nowhere near maul ending up all alone
We’re literally at the point where maul builds up his forces
yeah, they all needed more screentime, wanted to know more about them
It makes no sense to do what they did at all, they just did it to hurt us
When I found out what happened to Rook I just had to sit down for a minute
Lowk still crying from the show
I am uncomfortable with the ending
and it was planned to😭
And fucking Tiny Tim Vario or whatever his fuckass name is gets to live
he shodl've died
I want to sacrifice him to Talzin to resurrect Icarus at the very least
If someone doesn’t make a return in s2 I will be sad
Like
At least have Rook or someone somehow come back
I genuinely won’t care if it’s bs
She doesn’t need her lungs she can grow extra
||i want like a happy ending in season 2 but alos ahhhh, Devon going to go tru shit and probly realize she went down the wrong path, Lawson might be alive? hoping he his cause his son needs him, hoping we see Rylee's mother next season ||
The ending is basically set in stone
It’s gonna be Maul chilling with Qi’ra for a bit then ending up trapped on Malachor V
that be interesting to see if they do that, probly will cause ties into Solo story
Also dw about using spoilers here, this is the spoiler chat anyway
I am wondering how long after solo it is that he ends up on Malachor V
kinda worried stuff might get spoilered for people lol
If they’re coming in here it’s the same as them clicking a spoiler
bannngg
Do you know how Rook died
..
the woman mando
Rook Kast
Much worse 😭
Her VA confirmed that Vader pulled Rook’s lungs out with the force
source?
Her VA was the one that chose it
Interview
mouth probably
Mouth
That was the squelching bone break sound
whatever makes it canon
It would be 😭
no like
My poor girl didn’t deserve that
I have no idea what reason Vader would have to just do that
It seems more inquisitor-esque
It was pretty disrespectful to Rook as well
She at least deserved to go down fighting
if youre a mandoloiran
and you run into vader
youre not going out fightiign
theres no shot
i am really glad they captured vader
i also understood their respect out of james earl jones not to have vader speak
bot knowing anakin he would haves aid somehting
to bait Jed and maul
when Vader one hands hes just playing around
She at least deserved an on screen stab through the chest
Off screen lung removal isn’t cool
either or i think.... cause that really cements the fear of vader... i think waht Disney has doen well is
really show that vader was this terror
that it wasnt an easy thing
like you were fucked if he showed up
should've been an on screen fight before her her going out😭
and they captured his speed really well
Vader just decided to experiment with removing Rook’s lungs just to never do it again
ep 9 and 10 did a really good job.... of showing how fast thes guys actually move
vader crushing mauls legs and treats him like a rag doll
the real life movies are somewhat hindered by actors.. but when in animation no rules.. so you can realyl cpature how fast vader can move
Maul shadow lord has done an amazing job of actually showing how much of a threat the inquisitors were
and he only really used 2 hands... once daki hit his arm
after that
it was like ok im done playing
uoure dead
rebels ruined their reputation 😭
i like how Maul keeps fighting even tho his leg prostic not working right and such
Wasn’t rebels like one of the first places they showed up
The grand inquisitor was just the inquisitor at that point
I mean Maul is just a tragic character.... its why i like him... he desinted to fail every time because of his personality
his aggresuion makes him repeat the same mistakes over and over
I hate that rebels killed him off
it was a good way for him to go
It limits what they can do with him so much
lets be real
nightsister magic will fix that
You can’t even argue with this because that’s how Ventress came back
WAIT
I could never see maul suceed buyt i also think thats why people liek him cause they want him to suceed
Maul is resurrected but has to stay away from Obi Wan
i'm so glad they expanded on those two, like they need more. cause we basically got not that much from them
it also shows the power disparity between hasoka as well
One that died in his first appearance and one that was already dead in his first appearance 😭
ashoka is awful in her own show
doesnt ahsoka kill Marrock in like less than 3 seconds?
Crow
ngl i'm not so happy with how they got handled with Ahsoka and such, i mean Ahsoka is awesome but also damn
Bad Batch, Andor, and Maul do really well to protay imperial power
Marrok takes a lil to kill for the second time but he’s already dead at that point so he’s nerfed a bit
still need to watch ahsoka
it wasnt the actor but they made her act so stoic which just made it so miserable watching the scenes
Good world building, weaker character stories is all I’ll say
Also there were just some corny scenes between Sabine and Ahsoka
i see why @potent juniper laughed at when i said someone was dying
show should of just been animated
cause.. not only did 1 person die.. like 90% of the people died
Ahsoka show shodl've been animated
But Vario gets to live
i always hate when the mandolirans die
For some reason
At least Rook didn’t have to learn about Bo fumbling mandalore and letting it get bombed
if i was in star wras i would travel to mandalore to be tuahgt by them 100%
cause theres a 99.9999% chance im not force senstiive
I would’ve liked if they canonised rook being the armourer tho
how would thast work
that be awesome if she was
she takes her heklmet off
tho rook not being on keeping hemlet on code
The children of the watch form after the fall of Death watch
yes
but they still adhhere to not removing their helmet
thats literally like the whole theme of mando season 1
Doesnt mean she always was like that tho
There’s a few years between maul and the mandalorian s1
wasnt it about 21
probably like 10-15
Shadow Lord is like 18-17 bby
Shadow Lord is just after bad batch
id say around the same time no?
S1 is during the imperial era
oh no its after
im saying this nicely.. i prmosie
its note
not*
i swear
its post ROTJ
mando is 9aby
its after the emperor dies and the fractioned mepire
empire*
is all run by differnt moffs
wtf I’m so confused
also when Luke shows up... hes in is black jedi master gear
after the emperor died.. the emprie spliit apart into factions that were ran by the MOffs
kind of like how a roman legionaire was loyal to his general
no necessarily Rome
I remember season 1 being during imperial control, then season 2 being post empire
they all had their ways of trying to take control and take over the empire
no it just centered around factions of the shattered empire
Money
One whole transfer
go into your account on the internet
uh huh
it should allow you to do it there
This is what happens when you don’t watch a show for 7 years
Lmao why did you create it on SS 😭
Come to dm w me

You won’t be saying that once you meet Lana
alien Pussy idk what to tell you
😭
nah lana is the best shes actually competent and intelligent
At least this isn’t about Twi’leks for once
Best sith lady
okay i collected all my studf
Governor of Ziost for like a week
She spammed me with the same mail 4 times in a row
‘[dudes name] is going mad with power’ she says to me again
koth is probably the worst character to even socialise with
killed him instantly after he stole my ship
Genuinely he’s the Fucking crybaby of all crybabies
Lowk should we go back to general chat
honestly i wish we got an option to kill him sooner
im going back to Cantina
Yes
