Jedi Squadron Podcast: Episode 45 – Maul – Shadow Lord Episodes 3 – 4 Review

In this Jedi Squadron Podcast episode, we break down Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord Episodes 3 & 4—and this is where the series takes a serious turn. From intense lightsaber duels to deeper character themes, Maul’s story is evolving in ways we didn’t expect.

Episode 3 dives into Maul’s attempt to tempt Devon to the dark side, echoing classic Star Wars moments while adding a darker psychological layer. Episode 4 raises the stakes even higher with major conflict, betrayal, and the Empire closing in.

This is the point where Maul Shadow Lord goes from good… to something much deeper.

If you enjoyed Clone Wars or Rebels, this might be one of the most interesting directions we’ve seen for Maul yet.
