The most pressing current question: watch Maul: Shadow Lord as it drops, or wait until it is complete and binge...

Always binge, IMO. I can't retain enough information over weeks, so if I can't watch something basically nightly to push through it, I'll forget some important element and be let down by an emotional hit that doesn't land with me due to faulty memory.

Tempting is the dark side.

Disney's done a fairly decent job on the animated stuff so I'll watch.

I’ve watched first two episodes of Shadow Lord. It’s another genre pastiche - in this case film noir.

Waiting for completion and final reviews -- most overrated character since Boba Fett.

Why is the guy "Maul", anyway? Darth Vader wasn't Vader, Darth Sidious wasn't Sidious, Darth Tyrannus wasn't Tyrannus ... why does Maul just Darth his real name?

Palpatine couldn't think of any more 'in" words to attenuate ominously after insidious and invader, so he just gave up on the whole naming scheme and let them pick their own.
