Ups And Downs From Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord Episode 6

Hello there and welcome to another episode of ups and downs for Maul Shadowlord and this time it is

for episode 6. Yes we have started once again looking at the ups and the downs and we've only

got four episodes left but so far it's been absolutely brilliant so let's get going and

look at some of the ups for episode 6. So an up straight away looking at Maul training now his

legs are working we can see how he meditates well his form of meditation which is training

getting back into the force using his lightsaber and it was really good to see his kind of mentality

in that alone time where you know he is thinking he is planning and he is sorting out what he needs

to do especially now that the empire is here and it was just nice to see that scene of him

having that time to himself it was also really nice to see that dynamic between him and rook

as well and the conversations between them. I've really been enjoying this dynamic of the two of

them so more of those scenes in the future please. Also I'm going to give an up to Maul looking a bit

on edge. Yeah the Empire is here and you can see that he is worried especially now that the

Inquisitors are here and Maul is aware that the Inquisitors are here. For the first time in a long

time we are starting to see Maul look fearful but I don't think that'll last for long. Now he knows

are there he'll have a new plan in place but it's good to see this side of mole our favorite and

hero and again we're going to give an up to lawson as much as he wants to help those in need his

priority which is great is always going to be his son and as much as he wants to help dackey who he

sees as a fellow father at the devon riley will always be his first priority and he will make sure

that he is safe now that the empire is here over helping others and i really like this side of

lawson the protective father standing up for those who need it but always putting his son first which

you'll find in a lot of shows as well that usually they'll ignore family and do the greater good

this guy is a family man and he is standing up for riley and protecting them love this guy i'm

not going to give it up to the teenagers getting spent some time together and interacting it was

actually a really nice scene both of them worried both of them chatting but showing that both of

are good people and is it safe to say there could be a little bit of romance and flirtation between

the two of them i don't know but it could happen but they are definitely going to have at least

brother sister vibes moving forwards and i can see these two having more scenes together and i'm

interested to see how that dynamic works as well is lawson going to end up taking devon under his

wing because of as i predicted dackey i don't think is going to survive but who knows how this

is going to work is Riley gonna end up having some force sensitive abilities I hope not I'd hate for

that to happen because not everyone needs to be force sensitive but we'll see what happens in future

but Riley starting to get a bit more screen time which I feel we going to see more of in the future but yes an up for the interaction between the two of them I also going to give an up just to the father bond and Daki and Lawson they are understanding each other they may not agree on the course of action

but they understand where each of them are coming from and that they are trying to protect their

younglings as it were and yeah really enjoying this dynamic of Lawson and Daki and I feel like

this is going to grow and we'll see further in the episode it does they have a mutual respect for

each other but understand why maybe they can't work together at this point and i'm going to give

it up for the fact that it was a trap yes they let lawson go knowing that he is going to work

with the jedi thinking lawson was getting away with it but no those force echoes from the last

episode i believe told marrock that lawson had these jedis working with them they trust him and

if they followed him for long enough he would lead them to it and as it seems Marok has now

found them. I'm going to give it up to the battle inside the kitchen living area as well. Very close

quarters, very intimate but Daki once again shown his skill as a master Jedi and it was really nice

to see like a very close knit close quarters battle. Usually there's a bit more open space but

this one really showing the skills of everyone involved and how seasoned they are is inquisitors

jedi padawans and fighting off marak as well devon again stepping up and showing her skills

daki really has trained her well but is it well enough to dissuade her from more well we don't

know i'm gonna give it up to devon as well we've talked about it before but yes she's really coming

into her own she's really standing up she's taking on a full airship like come on that is not a start

now padawan that is someone that is ready to stand on their own and yeah i thought devon absolutely

kicks some butt in this episode she's done really really well and yeah protecting lawson and his son

she's done a good job deserves an up and also let's give an up for taking the ship as well

that's pretty cool this girl's got it and we know why maul wants that on his side as well

also i'm going to give it up for this scene it just looks awesome with marak looking over

the pan and away of the camera absolutely loved it thought it looked cool i am really loving the

art style i know i've mentioned that a lot but i do i love it it just looks so cool and in a nice

change compared to all of the car battles we've had in vehicle battles we now have an airship battle

Nice sort of change up, but we do like some fast-paced shooting and action

This show has really been amping up the action from episode one

Absolutely brilliant. Really love it. It's really keeping me engrossed. It's really keeping me interested

I feel like this season is one of the best seasons of Star Wars TV

Sorry, Ando. Love you. But this is top-notch Star Wars content. I not gonna give Devon and up for the London as well especially ship that was hard to handle she done a really good job future rogue pilot who knows i giving up for the 80 ac reveal just stepping through we saw one briefly early in the episode

but we get a proper look at it here and with the mixed art style and the purple backgrounds

i just thought it looked really really cool and she's back soul returns so she's getting it up

Really interesting character and we get a little bit more information on her

She really, really values Lawson and we'll find out why very, very soon

And we're getting it up for more Spybot sass. Trashy droids, him hovering around

He's really on the pulse of what is happening. But yes, love Spybot

Love the short scenes. Really sells it as a character. I'm giving it up for this one as well

I really have been enjoying the Maul and Rook interactions. rook willing to stand up to maul say i don't think this is right but maul again has everything in

hand but he's willing to risk it all to get devon which shows that he has a future plan involving her

that maybe he hasn't shared with rook and i'm going to give it up for the soul and lawson law

drop soul used to be a bounty hunter lawson seen before he was a detective i think he was a bounty

hunter as well. I could be totally wrong but why else would he be there if they weren't hunting for

the same bounty? They both looked after each other. They both saved each other. Lawson is an impeccable

shot. He had to have been a bounty hunter that maybe met his wife. Maybe the wife was tracking

him as part of working for the empire or back then before the empire was a thing but then she's moved

over to the empire i really want more of the lawson backstory but i do feel he used to be a

bounty hunter as well and that's why he's so good at what he does and he's he's changed he became a

father it's made him more of a good guy and didn't want to be a bounty hunter anymore well that's the

impression i'm getting anyway but an up for the lawson low drop loved it also giving it up for

this bit because it just made me laugh the get ready to run just he knows what's going to happen

He knows the Empire and with Sol saying, if something goes wrong, just run

He knows that they are going to have to run. And I just found it really funny

And up again, the Lawson, his instinct before anything is to get his son to safety

And he's willing to take on the Empire to do so. Daki, the same, sending off Devon

Both of them know they need to protect their young. And they are willing to stand up against anyone in order to do so

And I'm giving it up for the quip-offs. I am loving the dynamic between Daki and Lawson, the father-father kind of dad jokes kind of thing and the quick quips to each other as they're going through. Loving this dynamic. More of these two working together. It's good fun. Even though it's a tough situation with the Empire, they are still having a bit of fun with it. You can tell they are enjoying what they are doing

And just nub for Spybot, Spybon. And giving it up to Devon yet again no fear At the start of this season she was scared to stand up to Maul because she knew she would lose yes she has no choice here but she not shown fear she is willing to step up and she really

starting to get confidence in her ability she's taking on a blooming inquisitor and holding her

own these are meant to be some of the toughest people to take on and she is shown that she can

do it she is strong with the force and i think maul can sense this and again i'm just going to

given up because this scene looks absolutely amazing the art team the direction the cinematography

whatever you want to call it this show looks so good and it needs to get awards for how good this

looks and what an entrance from mall always just appearing just when you need them so yes that's

getting up i thought this is a really fun way for mall to appear and really enjoyed the ensuing battle

and then we have devon starting to trust maul really enjoyed this you can see she is conflicted

but the enemy of my enemy as she's been putting it is my friend and again this trust building

maul knows what he's doing he's not saying come join me he's just slowly building the trust

working together showing that he is also against the empire to convince devon to join him but again

absolutely amazing battle loved it also going to give an up for the lightsaber throw as well i

thought that was really cool and nice work by mole and one of our final scenes in the episode

the devon mole standoff you can see that devon is conflicted she knows she should take him out

she has the perfect opportunity to do so but she knows it would be wrong mole standing down

Turning off his lightsaber, not using it against Devon, showing that he is willing to trust her and she does the same

Where does this lead us in the next episode? I don't know, but I am so excited to see

Is this where Maul finally turns Devon to his mindset and his thinking

Now that she is away from Daki, Maul has the perfect opportunity to convince her

And is Lawson's son going to be the voice of reason instead of against Maul

we will see next episode and our final scene maroc talking to someone is it darth vader because

that's his boss or is it palpatine is it sidious we don't know but what a cliffhanger to leave us

moving into episode seven but one episode of maul shadow lord i hadn't give it any downs that is

crazy great scenes great action great character development if this is how mole shadow lord

continues i can't see it not being an amazing finale when that comes out in two weeks let me
