Darth Maul once worked with Death Watch to conquer Mandalore. We’re talking about this three episode story arc from the Clone Wars.
We are in the mood to talk Sith, Mandalorians, and more. To satiate this desire, we are turning to Star Wars: The Clone Wars. More specifically, we are looking at episodes 14-16 of season five. In this story arc, Maul and Savage Opress form a temporary alliance with the Death Watch faction of the Mandalorians with the purpose of conquering Mandalore and assembling an underworld army. However, it is an uneasy alliance, and both sides are prepared to betray the other. In addition, there is a little matter of Maul’s desire for revenge against Obi-Wan Kenobi. Finally, none of this escapes Darth Sidious’s attention. We have so much to talk about in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- How Pre Vizsla and Death Watch found Maul and Savage Opress drifting in space,
- Maul’s plan to assemble and underworld army,
- The attack on the Hutts on Nal Hutta and at Jabba’s Palace,
- The ruse that Death Watch and Maul used to conquer Mandalore,
- How Pre Vizsla turned on Maul, which played right into Maul’s plans,
- The duel between Pre Vizsla and Maul,
- Duchess Satine’s role in this trilogy of episodes,
- Bo-Katan’s refusal to accept Maul as the leader of Mandalore,
- Obi-Wan Kenobi’s arrival on Mandalore, and
- Darth Sidious’s attack on Maul and Savage Opress.
