Spoilers Maul - Shadow Lord Animated Series

Nice twist about Lawson's ex-wife. I (and I'm sure others) thought she was dead but I love the idea of a former lover working with the Empire, on the opposite side of a local lawman. If she ain't on that Star Destroyer, I'll eat my entire hat collection. And to boot: I find that dynamic far more interesting than an unnecessary appearance from Vader or even the inevitable Inquisitor.
I didn't think of that, but I hope you're right and she is on the ship.
We just assume Devon will turn. She might not
I can't remember now if the promo stuff said that she will become Maul's apprentice or if he just wants her to be his apprentice. I was thinking it said she will, but thinking now that I'm thinking about more, it might not have been that definite.
 
I'm extremely impressed with Devon's emotive expression. I wish it had more range, but her expression of (what I read as) frustration seems to me to be a notable accomplishment in animation.

Maul seems to be playing Devon well so far.

I'm surprised and glad Master Daki has lived so far! I like how Devon and Daki have similar dueling styles.

I expect the Lawson family dynamic to play a role. I also expect mom to be aboard the Star Destroyer, and I expect she will have influence over her son, Rylee.

I could be wrong, but it looked to me like Devon used a preparatory stance that's reminiscent of Kenobi's Form III/Soresu lightsaber style - holding the saber up over the head in the right hand with the left arm outstretched and two fingers pointing forward.
 
Interesting, Daki says he's seen the galaxy change many times throughout his lifespan, implying he's long lived. While I doubt he's been alive as long as Yoda, I'm guessing he's still at least a few hundred years old.

I feel really bad about this, but I keep being thrown by President Palmer’s voice coming out of Daki’s mouth. And I like Dennis Haysbert, a lot!
 
Well, I was wrong about Rylee's mother being on the Star Destroyer and is instead working on Coruscant. I'm actually disappointed about that reveal and I guess I got ahead of myself with that potential dynamic. Oh well.

Maybe, just maybe, Two-Boots will finally see the light.

I'm absolutely loving this animation style because of how it feels like a painting come to life and it's probably my favorite animation style after Rebels.
 
I hate it when they get me with those things. :brickwall:

That channel gets blocked next.
General rule of thumb: if it's not from the studio or official YT channel of whatever the IP might be, then don't trust it, no matter what the title says or what the thumbnail looks like.

Most likely he's remembering Marchion Ro's little reign of terror a few centuries back. Also; it's a big galaxy and Daki probably got around a lot over the years. Smaller individual worlds likely fall to tyranny quite frequently, while others also just as frequently throw off said tyranny, sometimes with the help of a Jedi, sometimes all on their own.
Maybe, just maybe, Two-Boots will finally see the light.
Honestly, I like how they're handling his character. He may have some individualistic quirks, but he's still a droid who follows his programming. But yeah, the Empire stripping him of the things that make him unique will probably be enough to pushing to break protocol.

And King Grayskull from Masters of the Universe: Revelations

I was wondering about that too. I wonder if we might start to see him popping up in some High Republic or pre-Phantom Menace stuff now that it's been established he's been around for a long time.

Yeah, I had to same thought and was a little disappointed when Rylee called her instead of her showing up in person.

I'm very curious to see where they take his character as the season goes on. I was a little shocked how casual he was about calling the Empire and everything they'd been doing. He does seem a bit more restricted in his programing than other droids like R2, 3P0, Chopper, and L3, so it will be interesting to see if he's got enough free will to turn against The Empire now.
I have to admit, I was shocked that they had the Lawsons go on the run with Devon and Daki, that's brought on a pretty major shift in the story.
I'm really liking Looti, so I'm glad he appears sticking around.
I had been assuming that the focus of the season was going to be Maul training Devon, but now that we're this far in I'm wondering if the end of the season will be her making a final decision on his offer.
 
Perhaps it's just me, but my brain always goes to Karate Kid 2 when she shows up.

What surprised me more though, is that the nightclub owner is voiced by Bobby Hill, who is also Devon's VO's mum. I knew that lady weren't right . . .
