    Ever since Rogue One, the galaxy far far away has been a bit of a mixed bag. For every Mandalorian, there is a Solo. And for every Ahsoka, there's a Rise Of Skywalker. So when a new animated show featuring everyone's favorite prequel jobber was announced, there was plenty of anticipation, mixed in with a healthy dose of trepidation. Now that we've had a chance to give it a watch, the sentiment seems to be nearly unanimous. With a Rotten Tomatoes score just under 100% and tons of critic and fan accolades, Maul: Shadow Lord is a blatant success. So, now that the educated arbiters of taste and unwashed masses have spoken, we're left to ask… what do the idiots have to say? Well, we're glad you asked, because we're going to break it all down for you in this, episode 246, Maul Or Nothing!   FULL VIDEO EPISODES!
