David, Jean, and Bryan continue their weekly coverage of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord with a pair of episodes that push the series into its darkest territory yet. The conversation explores Rylee's capture and interrogation by the 11th Brother, the team's growing suspicion that Rylee has been compromised, and the broader question of whether Devon can straddle the line between light and dark without falling to either side. Two Boots' arc takes center stage as the droid's loss of identity sparks a reckoning with what the Empire truly represents, leading to one of the most layered character turns of the season. Elysia sends in fresh takes, a listener email response connecting Dathomir witchcraft to Marvel's Witches' Road, and a lore bomb on Crimson Dawn. The team digs deep into Maul's harrowing vision sequence in episode eight, what his suffering reveals about the cost of the dark side, and how his story connects to the broader question of what the Jedi must become in order to survive a post-Order 66 galaxy.
