Maul Shadow Lord, Episodes 7 and 8 stream; Dryden Vos Easter egg
Episodes 7 and 8 of Star Wars: Maul, Shadow Lord are now streaming on Disney+, with Episode 7 titled Call to Oblivion as the season moves toward next week’s finale. Both episodes feature the masked Inquisitor known as the Eleventh Brother as Maul’s pursuit escalates across multiple worlds. An Easter egg in these installments links crime boss Dryden Vos to the Solo era, deepening the series’ ties to broader Star Wars continuity and raising the stakes for the finale.
Popped up a little last week, but starting to see earnest arguments about power scaling/levels regarding the Inquisitors (how Ahsoka manhandles them despite her tense battle with Maul) and folks I have the answer: Just don’t give a fuck. It doesn’t matter. Enjoy the stories #MaulShadowLord
Like, I could easily rattle off a buncha explanations—both diegetic and thematic—but that’s just a frustrating way to engage with a story.
ALSO - so? is it good story? YES... I really get personally annoyed by VS convos because all Star Wars Fights are metaphor for the character struggle.
Ahsoka is a boss. No issue for me.
Look, Star Wars keeps focusing on what happened with the *top* half after Episode I, but it's obvious that the true ultimate villain of Star Wars is Darth Maul's legs. Otherwise, why haven't *they* come back? They've been lurking in the shadows, behind the scenes, controlling everything...
I’ve always hated the power scaling arguments in fandom. That being said, “just enjoy the story” would be easier if stories involving Ahsoka, Maul, and the Inquisitors were in any way compelling.
Remember, in any fictional vs. situation, the winner is... whoever the hell the writer needs to win for the plot to progress.
Haters gonna hate - keep killing it 💯
Ahsoka is from a battle lineage. Plus it’s been 20 years where she’s been fighting for most of that time. Also, fighting styles are different, so you can struggle against another opponent.
Omg. With that attitude, can we be friends?
Ahsoka was apprentice to Anakin Fucking Skywalker.
