This is it! The finale of Maul Shadow Lord! Not letting us take a moment since Vader appeared out of the fog, the fight immediately begins and the episode never lets up for a second after that. This is all out Vader. This is how powerful he was at his peak. This is Anakin in unbridled menace. And it was AWESOME! Our group of the Lawsons, Devon, Master Daki and Two Boots, along with Vario, can bare...

It's the penultimate episode of Maul Shadow Lord! The one before the finale and man oh man was it a doozie!! That cliffhanger was breathtaking!  We're excited about this one as it perfectly shows fantastic chase sequences, fight scenes, and tension filled action! The inquisitors are hot on their tails as Maul, Master Daki, Devon, Rylee and Lawson are trying to flee the planet and the Empire, but t...

What do you call the penulitimate episode to the penultimate episode? The prepenultimate episode? That's what this one is, definitely the big setup for what's coming in the next two finale episodes! We have everyone on the run. Maul trying to get away from the Inquisitors and back to his people. The Lawsons, Devon and Daki trying to get away from the Empire. It's a tense chase sequence all the way...

It's as if this is Maul's own personal version of The Empire Strikes Back! He loses almost everything in this episode as the Empire closes in and his team is dropping like flies, and his temporary allies abandon him. What's a former Sith Lord to do? Not only that, but his droid parts are faultering, and he feels the pain, limiting his fighting abilities, and the Inquisitors take advantage. This is...

Stakes are rising fast!  Marrow shows up uninvited at the Lawson apartment, and he's not interested in appetizers! Lookout! Yikes! The light saber duels in this one are simply stunning. Lots of action and lots of great character moments, as we see the group paired off, with Lawson running with Master Daki, while Devon tries to protect Rylee.  This is what Star Wars is all about, in one of the best...

The Empire has landed. And it's not good for the citizens of Janix. Nor is it even good for the police. Interrogations begind. Answers are demanded. And if you don't give them what they want, or is satisfactory, well, you are taken away...or as they like to say, been relocated. Maul's window for escape is narrowing, but he wants to get close to Devon first before he loses this opportunity to turn...

Happy Star Wars Day!! May the 4th be with you all! Well this is a first. We actually, by the schedule, are releasing an episode ON Star Wars Day! Woo Hoo! Let's celebrate! And what an episode it was to get to talk about. As we say in the show, the tension of this one can be cut with a light saber..wow! Maul faces down Lawson and offers him a deal. Maul faces Master Eeko and offers him a deal. Do w...

Maul is working his manipulation on Devon by first inviting her to a tea party, and when she violently refuses, he says he can work with her anger too, and challenges her to a fight. Through frustration of not being able to do a thing against him, Devon gets angry and begins slipping down the slippery slope into darkness....just as he has forseen. And where have we heard that before? Send in your...

It's our live event at the Calgary Expo for 2026! We take our show on the road and speak in front of a live audience, taking in fan questions and theories to make it an interactive show, and it's always a fun time!  We talk about the latest Mandalorian and Grogu trailer and then get into some Maul Shadow Lord. Enjoy the bonus show! And thanks again to all who showed up in person! Send in your thou...

Darkness is creeping in like a shadow that over takes you. Subtle words of manipulation act as seeds of deception. And slowly, you turn to the darkside without even realizing it.  This is what we see beginning to happen to Devon, as Maul gets his nails into her, and the process begins.

It's here! The new series based on Maul and his time after clone wars as he tries to build his syndicate of criminals.  We get a good introduction to all the main characters and the storylines that we will be following, including Spybot, the droid sidekick, Lawson and Two Boots, the police on Maul's trail, Rook Kast, the Mandalorian from Clone Wars, who's Maul's right hand, and his new apprentice,...

Star Wars is headed back to theaters!  The first full trailer for Mandalorian and Grogu is out and we've got you covered! We get into all the new scenes and stuff shown that wasn't in the teaser trailer, and we breakdown like you know we always do....which means, we go way deeper and discuss things further than any other trailer breakdown! Enjoy! Send in your thoughts to the show! Send voicemail o...

Darkness is falling upon the MandaLore podcast! And it's a good thing! Maul Shadow Lord is coming soon and we're here to break down the first trailer as best we can. There's still a few months to go, and there's bound to be another trailer that will reveal more, but what we get in this first glimpse is pretty damn exciting, and we're looking forward to going on this new adventure with all of you!...

The Clan of Two is headed to the big screen! The first trailer has arrived and with that, our breakdown! Although this is more like a sizzle reel and a teaser than a full trailer, we still find plenty to talk about as you know we always do! Ahhh...it's good to be back on the Razorcrest following these two around the galaxy! Send in your thoughts to the show! Send voicemail or email to: themandalor...

It's that summer time feeling..... A feeling like we should rank all the shows that have been released so far! That's right, there's 13 Star Wars tv shows, and we put them in order of what we feel is best. Siber Wren has his list, and D.Vizsla has his.  Do they come out the same? Are they different from each other? Which ones made the top three and what criteria did we use to put them there?  Well...

Ahhhh.....Asajj Ventress. Do we even have to say anything? She's back. That's all that matters.  One of the coolest characters is back with not quite a vengeance, as her story takes a different path than what you may have last seen her in Clone Wars...maybe you saw the Bad Batch and wondered why she was so different...maybe you read the book Dark Disciple and know her story, and maybe only then do...

It's a stand off at the not so OK corral! We get an origin story for Cad Bane, a notorious bounty hunter known for his quick draw of duel pistols! Back when he was a kid trying to survive on the streets of Duro with his best friend Niro, circumstances force them down separate paths, one the road to darker deeds, and one the path of a lighter calling, serving the law. It's a classic, yet tragic sho...

Well, we've come to the end of yet another Star Wars show. Andor wraps up the story leading up to Rogue One and A New Hope, and it does it in style unseen in Star Wars storytelling. Depth of characters, depth of plot, and depth of intrigue. This is how it's supposed to be. The acting is unparalleled. Every character meant something. Every moment was felt.  Thanks for being with us on this journey...

It all culminates to these moments. Everything we witnessed in season 1, and everything so far in season 2, all leads to what happens in these three episodes! Syril breaks under the tension of what's going on around him and all that he didn't know, and he blames Dedra for it all. Meanwhile she's struggling to make her own decision, follow Syril and his plight to help the townspeople of Ghorman, or...

Halfway through Andor already! It's one year later, and we catch up to Casian and Bix hiding out on Coruscant in a safe house, and their relationship has rekindled. Syril and Dedra are working together on a new mission at Ghorman, with Syril going undercover to send back intel about the rebel uprising there. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma is in dire situations trying to get votes to go against the Empire,...

Andor season two is upon us! It's one year later, and we have to catch up to where everyone is now in their respective stories! We follow Cassian, Bix, Brasso, Dedra and Syril and there's a lot that has changed! Cassian gets caught yet again by some ragtag soldiers, Bix and Brasso are living peacefully on a farming planet, and Dedra and Syril live together now in a quirky relationship! Send in you...

Holy revived assassins 3PO!! Asajj Ventress in her own show!!! Star Wars fans rejoice! Ok, maybe it's just Siber Wren here getting all excited, but we're here to not only talk about the second trailer for Andor Season 2 but we'll also get into the brand new trailer that came out of nowhere called Tales of the Underworld, starring Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane!! Andor S2 is almost here, and we're get...

Just under 2 months away is the Andor season 2 return! We got our first teaser trailer recently and Siber Wren and D.Vizsla are here to dive into it as you know we do. What do the scenes mean? What characters are returning? What do we expect to see? Send in your thoughts to the show!

Just like a roller coaster, the ride is suddenly over. This is the finale of Skeleton Crew, and we're here to break it down. Was it a good finale? Did we get the answers we were looking for? Did it satisfy us as viewers? Surely it was a fun show. It was a great family Star Wars adventure. And this finale was full of great action and character moments. But it lacked something...and we try to put ou...
