Matt and Young Nick went live with their full review of Maul: Shadow Lord episodes 5 and 6, Inquisition and Night of the Hunted, and things got heated in the best possible way. Both episodes delivered on the promise of the Star Destroyer cliffhanger from last week, with Marrok arriving on Janix as a genuine menace and the train duel delivering some of the best action Lucasfilm Animation has ever put on screen.

The biggest debate of the night was the "my lord" cliffhanger ending with Marrok reporting to an unseen holographic figure. Matt is firmly in the Vader camp. Nick is convinced it's Palpatine himself. Neither budged. We also got into whether Master Daki using the Lawsons and pulling them deeper into danger with the Empire is really any different from what Maul is doing to Devon. Matt thinks Daki's hands are dirtier than he gets credit for. Nick wasn't ready to put Daki in the same category as Maul. Another split decision.

For predictions heading into episodes 7 and 8, Call to Oblivion and The Creeping Fear, Matt and Nick are expecting the 11th Brother to show up and believe Daki survives through to the finale. As for the "my lord" reveal, don't expect answers next week. They're predicting that mystery rides a little longer.
