The EXP Point

[REVIEW] Maul: Shadow Lord

Somehow, Dave Filoni and company have taken this one-note, one-off, one-line-of-dialogue-having villain from The Phantom Menace and, over the course of several animated series, made him one of the most compelling and interesting characters in the entire franchise. All of the characters are layered and believable, and the pacing, cinematography, soundtrack, and that stunning painterly art style all make this one bombad series. Sorry, not sorry.
