Spoilers Maul: Shadow Lord [spoilers]

[morrangor]

It is a great show. I wonder if we will get a chance to learn anything cool about Marrok? Perhaps this will refuel Marrok and Starkiller speculations which were rampant during season 1 of Ashoka?

I think this show might be breaking my aversion to animation. It's reached a quality/style where I can bear to watch it. The art is excellent. The movement of the characters is sometimes quite good (running is still bad). It's almost coming out the other side of the uncanny valley of motion and physics I find so hard to watch, and which Star Wars cartoons are full of. If they keep improving in this direction, animation might be back in my viewing habits.

(Weirdly I'm find with 80s cartoons and The Simpsons because they are 2D and not trying to look or feel 'real').

I really like the more painterly style that Star Wars has gone with in recent animation projects (over the more overtly digital stuff from the early Clone Wars era).

Yeah, their animation has been top notch for awhile, and it's only getting better. Once again I wish Ahsoka had been an animated series. They have been consistently better than their live action shows and don't end up feel so truncated.

The textures are great!

And the lightsaber colors! Now, those have been great in the recent live action shows too, but my goodness. That fight scene between Maul, Devon, and her master? That was amazing in terms of the textures and the lighting. I feel like the animators on this show deserve an award.

Best looking animated show yet. And a good one but Disney's been consistent in that regard.

So I’m not super familiar with Inquisitors and stuff, except for seeing them in the Kenobi show, but I’m surprised they’re more dangerous than an actual (ex) Sith Lord. The Sith say there can be only two, but these are basically Sith without the name, right?

 

[wicked cool]

So for me this show so far is the best animated Star Wars and very close to best Star Wars period (yeah I said it)

Why
-the lightsaber combat. Without spoiling much the duels rival the best of clone wars and compare to the phantom menace ending
- the skirmish’s between the rogue groups and empire plus gangs are really good. There’s a lot of great violence that you don’t see but n old Star Wars cartoons
-the story is really good and im
Invested in the secondary characters
- Ashoka did the inquisition dirty! We should have gotten this . They are way more interesting in this. I want to know who Vader turned

To be fair, Maul was at a disadvantage due to his damaged leg. Also, being outnumbered by two lightsaber users who co-ordinate (like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, Daki and Devon, or Marrok and the Eleventh Brother) is tough for even a full Jedi or Sith.
