Maul – Shadow Lord is finally here, and it's ushering in a new era for everyone's favorite fallen Sith lord...and a new era for Lucasfilm animation?

This week, we're breaking down the first two episodes and some of the show and giving our initial thoughts on this Star Wars noir story. Plus, has Lucasfilm animation ever looked this good? We talk about all the upgrades to the animation in this show and the intentionally stylized look and feel to everything from character models to background details of Janix.
