ELEVENTH BROTHER & MARROCK VS DARTH MAUL!

Chapter 7: "Call to the Oblivion" & Chapter 8: "The Creeping Fear" push Darth Maul deeper into both physical conflict and psychological torment, blending explosive action with introspective storytelling. Voiced by Sam Witwer (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Being Human), Maul faces relentless pursuit from Imperial forces and Inquisitors while grappling with haunting visions of his past—particularly his connection to his brother Savage and the influence of Darth Sidious. A major highlight comes from the intense ground-level storyline involving fugitives on the run from the Empire, including a Jedi survivor and a desperate father trying to rescue his captured son. The episodes deliver standout sequences like a full-scale Imperial assault, stealth infiltration of a detention facility, and a thrilling high-speed speeder chase through a cyberpunk-inspired cityscape. One of the most compelling arcs centers on a conflicted Imperial enforcer (“Two Boots”), whose struggle between duty and morality leads to a pivotal decision that changes the course of the story. Visually, these episodes showcase some of the series’ most striking animation yet—from eerie Force visions and brutal lightsaber encounters to massive troop deployments and atmospheric world-building. The ending teases major future connections, including ties to Crimson Dawn, hinting at Maul’s growing influence in the criminal underworld and possible links to events surrounding Solo: A Star Wars Story. Packed with action, character development, and deeper lore, Episodes 7 & 8 continue to elevate Maul – Shadow Lord as one of the most compelling entries in Star Wars animation. #StarWars #MaulShadowLord #DarthMaul #ShadowLord #StarWarsReaction #GregAlba #MichaelTessler #CloneWars #StarWarsRebels #TheCloneWars #DisneyPlus #Lucasfilm #Marrok #DevonIzara #EekoDioDaki #BranderLawson #Rylee #SamWitwer #TheMandalorianAndGrogu #starwarsseries Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Episode 6 Reaction: https://youtu.be/O8dm0ziFwVI Invincible Season 4, Episode 8 Reaction: https://youtu.be/S9AGfolqLjE The Boys Season 5, Episode 4 Reaction: https://youtu.be/o6oUazvg73I Follow *Michael Tessler* https://www.instagram.com/mjtessler/ Follow *Greg Alba* https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba 0:00 Leave A Like 00:59 Maul Shadow Lord Reaction 15:34 Maul Shadow Lord Episode 8 Reaction 30:34 Maul Shadow Lord Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermedia Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

Maul would have been a great jedi had they discovered him first

I think you’re right Greg. In clone wars Savage seemed genuinely surprised he had a brother. But maybe you could argue his “transformation” from Mother Talzin wiped his memory of Maul.

Man the moment Maul comforts his younger self in the reflection for blaming himself for being abused is heartbreaking

Saying there's twelve more episodes isn't technically a lie. They're making a season two. 😂
