Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord 1×8 Reaction

1. Maul is gonna fight both inquisitors, Vader, Sidious and somehow zombie savage. All with his destroyed Leg and suddenly he wakes up. It was all a bad dream, he has both of his legs and is 10 years old with Uncle Sheev baking him cookies

2. In Rebels, Maul says “I cannot defeat Vader alone”, which to me sounds like he has fought Vader before and barely survived. But a season 2 has already been announced, so perhaps they will save a Maul vs Vader fight for that.

3. It’s only fitting for maul to fight vader, the former apprentice of sidious vs the new one

4. My heart says Darth Vader, but my head says someone else. As much as the fan inside me begs to see Maul finally fight Vader. The canon junkie inside me remembers how in the Rebels season 2 finale, Maul states that “the one they call Vader will be here soon.” This is an odd way to refer to someone that you have already fought, no? Anyways, this one singular line must be adhered to AT ALL COSTS, and so Maul MUST fight somebody else.

5. Maul vs Starkiller. Sam Witwer vs Sam Witwer

6. If I could have Maul fight anyone in the finale it would be Vader. However, even with a target such as Maul I do not believe either Sidious or Vader would come to personally deal with this unless it was clear that the Inquisitors couldn’t. I think that the finale will be Maul defeating both Marrok and the 11th Brother which will then show that Vader needs to personally get involved in the next season, similar to the way Vader got involved in Rebels after the death of the Grand Inquisitor. Also having Vader consistently be a Season 2 threat would be funny.

7. Id love for Embo to see the Maul bounty in the city …. I know it will be hard to get the voice actor back but that would be a showdown.

8. I always understood Maul’s final words of “He will avenge us” as meaning avenging everyone Sidious harmed, including the Jedi and even Obi-Wan who was as much a victim of Sidious as Maul, but this episode really made me understand how many encompass the “Us” on Maul’s side.
