This week, James brings us everything we need to know about Maul. April 6th is the release of the first 2 episodes of the Maul TV Series, Maul: Shadow Lord. Before that comes out, we wanted you to know all about the man himself in this deep dive into what made him who he is. We break down Maul’s origins, his training under Darth Sidious, and how his apparent death became the beginning of something far more interesting. From his rise to power on Mandalore to his role as a criminal mastermind, we explore how Maul transformed from a tool of the Sith into a character driven by revenge, survival, and ultimately purpose. We also discuss his relationships with key figures like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Savage Opress, and Emperor Palpatine, and how those rivalries shaped his destiny. Plus, we debate: is Maul truly a Sith, or something else entirely? Whether you're a longtime fan or just rediscovering Maul’s story, this episode covers it all—his best moments, his most brutal fights, and the legacy he leaves behind. Grab your double-bladed lightsaber and join us as we unpack the tragedy, rage, and brilliance of Darth Maul in this epic adventure. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Star Wars news has a lot to do with Galaxy's Edge and Video Games. Then James tells us all about a guy named Obi-Wan Kenobi? Finally: The bricks are back in the sandbox, and this time they brought history with them. In this episode, we dive into “Lego Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past”, the latest chapter in the delightfully scrambled galaxy far, far away. If you thought canon was sturdy, this special gleefully pops it apart like a Millennium Falcon mid-hyperdrive tune-up and snaps it back together in ways that would make even Darth Vader tilt his helmet. We break down the biggest twists, the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it deep cuts, and the moments that had us pausing to say, “Wait… did they really just do that?” From unexpected character mashups to lore-bending brick wizardry, this installment leans fully into playful chaos while still sneaking in heartfelt beats under the plastic sheen. We also talk about how the special connects to the larger LEGO Star Wars universe, what longtime fans of Star Wars will appreciate most, and whether this story truly honors the “pieces of the past” or just joyfully rearranges them. Is it a clever remix of galactic history? A nostalgia-powered starfighter? Or just pure LEGO-fueled fun with a hyperdrive strapped to it? Grab your kyber crystals and your brick separators. It’s time to rebuild the galaxy… again. 🚀🧱 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
