This week on the Star Wars Time Show, we go full speculation mode on Maul: Shadow Lord.

After breaking down the trailer and early details in previous episodes, it’s time to zoom out and ask two big questions: what do fans actually want to see from this series, and what do we realistically think Lucasfilm is going to deliver?

We start with the biggest fan wants, including a true bridge from The Clone Wars to Solo and Rebels, the rise of Crimson Dawn, and long-requested moments like a Maul vs Vader collision or even a confrontation with Palpatine. There’s also growing interest in how characters like Qi’ra, Ahsoka, and the Inquisitors could factor into the story.

Then we shift into predictions. Will the show stay grounded on Janix? Is Devon really going to fall to the dark side? And how far will the series go in setting up Maul’s eventual fate?

Topics include:

• What fans want to see play out
• Predictions on what will actually happen
• Where Maul’s story picks up after The Clone Wars
• Timeline connections to the Empire era
• What this show needs to get right

Let us know your predictions and what you want to see from Maul: Shadow Lord.

As always… this is a podcast for a more uncivilized age.

This week on Star Wars Time Show we break down the latest news about the upcoming Star Wars film Mandalorian & Grogu.

Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy recently addressed one of the biggest questions fans have about the movie. Will Grogu finally speak? We discuss what she said and whether Grogu speaking would change the character moving forward.

We also talk about comments from Jon Favreau and Pedro Pascal regarding Din Djarin appearing without his helmet in the film and what that might mean for the character’s arc.

Jeremy Allen White’s portrayal of Rotta the Hutt is another major topic, as we discuss how Jabba’s son could factor into the story and the broader underworld of Star Wars.

In the second half of the episode we recap and review the first issue of Marvel’s Shadow of Maul, a comic that acts as a prequel to the upcoming Maul: Shadow Lord animated series on Disney+. We break down the major story beats, discuss key characters introduced in the comic, and speculate on how the events could connect to the upcoming show.

We also briefly discuss the long-awaited Knights of the Old Republic remake and whether the project is still alive after several years of uncertainty.

Star Wars fans… we might regret this one.

In this week’s episode of the Star Wars Time Show, Matt and Nick are back with 10 brand-new Star Wars hot takes for 2026 — and some of them are going to hurt.

We’re debating:

• Have the prequels aged better than the sequels?

• Is The Empire Was Right actually defensible?

• Is Andor easily the best Disney+ Star Wars series?

• Is A New Hope overrated?

• Has Grogu already peaked as a character?

• Should Ahsoka Season 2 kill a major character?

• Is Darth Maul better written than Darth Vader?

• Is Star Wars animation more important than live action?

• Should Star Wars take a 5-year break after this slate?

These aren’t safe takes. These aren’t polite takes. These are the ones that start arguments.

Let us know which hot take you agree with — and which one crossed the line.

May the debate be with you.

Darth Maul is one of the most iconic villains in Star Wars history — and in this episode of the Star Wars Time Show, we celebrate his 10 greatest moments across The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars, Solo, and Star Wars Rebels.

From “At last we will reveal ourselves…” to Duel of the Fates, the shocking death of Qui-Gon Jinn, Maul’s resurrection in The Clone Wars, the rise of the Shadow Collective, the Siege of Mandalore, and the unforgettable “KENOBI!” duel in Twin Suns, we walk through Maul’s complete arc chronologically.

After breaking down all 10 moments, Matt and Nick each reveal their personal Top 3 Darth Maul moments of all time.

Was Maul at his best in the prequels?

Did The Clone Wars elevate him into one of Star Wars’ most layered villains?

Or did his final confrontation with Obi-Wan in Rebels give him the perfect ending?

Let’s talk Maul.

Last night Matt went live for a full scene-by-scene breakdown of the first trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu.

While Rotta the Hutt and the underworld grab immediate attention, this doesn’t look like a simple bounty hunter movie. The bigger question is whether the Hutts are operating independently — or working with the fractured remnants of the Empire.

We discuss:

• Why the Hutts may be tied to Imperial warlords

• Whether the New Republic might need something from Rotta

• The Shadow Council connections from The Mandalorian Season 3

• The warlord seen in the trailer and what that implies

• Why fans don’t want “just a Hutt movie”

• Din Djarin’s role in a fragile New Republic era

If this film continues the Shadow Council storyline, it could be setting up something much larger in the post-Return of the Jedi era.

The Mandalorian & Grogu opens exclusively in theaters May 22, 2026.

This week’s solo livestream dives into the latest Star Wars news and a data-driven breakdown that might change how you view the saga.

First up, we cover a new update on the long-quiet Rogue Squadron film, including comments from screenwriter Matthew Robinson and what they may signal about the project’s status at Lucasfilm.

Then we examine a reported Ahsoka Season 2 leak involving a Dathomir set build and what that could mean for the direction of the series. Why return to Dathomir? And what does it say about where the story is headed?

For the main topic, we shift from rumors to raw numbers.

Using screen time data from the Star Wars movies, we break down the 10 characters with the most total screen time in the Skywalker Saga. Some placements are exactly what you’d expect. Others might surprise you. The results spark a bigger question: who really drives Star Wars when you look at the franchise objectively?

If you enjoy Star Wars news, thoughtful analysis, and structured debates, this one’s for you.

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt is joined by Young Nick for a pre-recorded episode packed with Star Wars news, rumors, and leaked set photo discussion.

We start with Ahsoka Season 2, where newly surfaced set images appear to show massive, ancient mechanical remains scattered across Peridea. If the photos are legit, they may hint at a long-forgotten war that left the galaxy largely lifeless, outside of the Great Witches seen in stasis during Season 1. We also discuss a separate rumored image tied to the Mortis Gods and what that could mean for how deep Season 2 might go into Force mythology.

From there, we shift to confirmed news, including reports that the upcoming Starfighter film will feature no legacy characters at all, signaling a major creative departure for theatrical Star Wars.

We also hit on podracing officially returning in the upcoming Galactic Racer game and break down the first preview of the Maul prequel comic Shadow of Maul, which explores Maul’s past ahead of the animated series Maul: Shadow Lord.

As always, we separate fact from speculation, flag rumors clearly, and try to connect the dots without going full tinfoil.
