2GGRN: JUST MAUL!!! Formerly Darth, now just Maul -the Shadow Lord Podcast (FAR spin-off POD / Episode 1) the MAULfather STOP on the MAUL apology TOUR (7/21/2026)
1999. 1999. Episode I: The Phantom Menace, it was a tale well well WELL documented in fandom circles LOL LOL LOL hahahahahahahahahahah obviously, then IT HAPPENED -- a REALLY cool sick looking villain was shockingly CUT IN HALF and fell down a trash space shoot. Many were taken aback, NOT only cause WE collectively watch THE PHANTOM MENACE, but what a WASTE of a villain and the potential this DARTH MAUL brought the the Sabacc table. And then came 2008, the DAWN of the CLONE WARS animated series, a show THAT as it went along was slowly but surely "mending" the Perquel films, most notably the space between Episode II & Episode III, but WE did NOT see THIS one coming (HA neither did Dave Filoni to be PERFECTLY honest), a mandate to bring DARTH MAUL back to life, hence fourth CLONE WARS would be dubbed (at least here at Fandom Awakens Radio HQ) the MAUL apology TOUR LOL LOL LOL hahahahahahahahah Darth Maul officially returned in Star Wars: The Clone Wars at the end of Season 4, in the episode titled "Brothers" (Season 4, Episode 21). In this episode, it was revealed he survived his bisection by Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace and has been living in exile on the junk world of Lotho Minor. His arc continued directly into the Season 4 finale, "Revenge" (Season 4, Episode 22), where his brother, Savage Opress, helps restore his sanity and cybernetic legs so they can hunt down Kenobi. Granted EVERYTIME Maul was brought up in the CLONE WARS, everything felt like a STOP on the MAUL apology TOUR, as the show clearly continued to add layer upon layer to the PT mythology, THAT was clearly to BIG too EXPANSIVE for three films THAT of course brings us to THIS. After the Clone Wars, Maul plots to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire. Maul -Shadow Lord STOP on the MAUL apology TOUR On the premier episode of JUST MAUL!!!
