Maul: Shadow Lord

The artist formerly known as Darth Maul returns for an animated bridge between where he was in The Clone Wars and in Solo and then Rebels.

He really likes slicing up lots of goons in corridors.

He’s so much more English voiced by an American.

New characters introduced so that we aren’t just dealing with Evil Vs. Evil.

There’s a good cop. Weird these days. Also amusing that he’s the only human in the main cast.

I keep referring to the old Jedi as Reverse Splinter because he’s a wise old mentor living in the sewers who looks like a turtle.

Biggest stylistic shifts from previous series in the line, the lightsaber fights are really fast and the sabres themselves give off a lot of light so sometimes we have fights with half silhouettes lit in pink and blue.

Maul has a good motivation! Which he doesn’t share with anyone.

Not sure if having Reaper From Overwatch playing as a serious threat undercuts the characters here or enhances how quickly Ahsoka punks him in Tales Of The Jedi.

And then the cliffhanger where Vader announced by a breath WORKS.
