    In this episode of Commanders of the Cosmos, Brent and Shiraz dive into Maul: Shadow Lord, the latest Star Wars series on Disney+. But this episode is more than just a review. It is also a deep exploration into one of the franchise’s most unexpected character journeys.

    For many fans, Darth Maul died at the end of The Phantom Menace. What many casual viewers may not realize is that Maul’s story continued for years afterward. Brent explores this broader saga of Darth Maul, tracing the character’s journey from his unforgettable debut in The Phantom Menace, through his shocking resurrection in The Clone Wars and Rebels, his criminal empire and surprise appearance in Solo: A Star Wars Story, and the many comics, novels, and games that transformed Maul from a one-off villain into one of the franchise’s most enduring characters.

    Join the Commanders as they examine the legacy, mythology, and menace of one of the Sith’s most iconic figures.
