Too Angry to Die: A Maul - Shadow Lord Primer

About this episode

The episode prepares listeners for the upcoming Maul - Shadow Lord by discussing Maul's history and making predictions about the series.

Join Children of the Watch as we prepare for Maul - Shadow Lord with our very own Maul 101. We'll be talking about the early, more obscure history of everybody's favorite discarded Sith for the first half of this episode, and then we will turn our attention to the upcoming, highly anticipated Star Wars animation: Maul - Shadow Lord to run down its characters, talk about what we know of the premise, as well as give our predictions for what we think may happen in the series. It's a great dark side time! How did Maul come to be Palpatine's Sith Apprentice? What is Maul's home world of Dathomir like? What tragedies brought Maul the Darth title, and then caused him to lose it? All of this and more! Subscribe to our feed so you never miss any of our Maul - Shadow Lord content!
