Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord has delivered an enthralling, pulpy Star Wars crime thriller that’s kept me on my toes with every episode. However, Maul’s goal of rebuilding his criminal empire has hit a snag. With the Empire’s grip closing around the seedy planet of Janix and the threat of the Inquisitors bearing down on him, the ex-Sith Lord is stuck between a kyber crystal and a hard place. In episode 8, “The Creeping Fear,” one name was dropped that may just prove to be Maul’s salvation: Dryden Vos.
