Darth Maul is one of the most iconic villains in Star Wars history — and in this episode of the Star Wars Time Show, we celebrate his 10 greatest moments across The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars, Solo, and Star Wars Rebels.

From “At last we will reveal ourselves…” to Duel of the Fates, the shocking death of Qui-Gon Jinn, Maul’s resurrection in The Clone Wars, the rise of the Shadow Collective, the Siege of Mandalore, and the unforgettable “KENOBI!” duel in Twin Suns, we walk through Maul’s complete arc chronologically.

After breaking down all 10 moments, Matt and Nick each reveal their personal Top 3 Darth Maul moments of all time.

Was Maul at his best in the prequels?

Did The Clone Wars elevate him into one of Star Wars’ most layered villains?

Or did his final confrontation with Obi-Wan in Rebels give him the perfect ending?

Let’s talk Maul.

Last night Matt went live for a full scene-by-scene breakdown of the first trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu.

While Rotta the Hutt and the underworld grab immediate attention, this doesn’t look like a simple bounty hunter movie. The bigger question is whether the Hutts are operating independently — or working with the fractured remnants of the Empire.

We discuss:

• Why the Hutts may be tied to Imperial warlords

• Whether the New Republic might need something from Rotta

• The Shadow Council connections from The Mandalorian Season 3

• The warlord seen in the trailer and what that implies

• Why fans don’t want “just a Hutt movie”

• Din Djarin’s role in a fragile New Republic era

If this film continues the Shadow Council storyline, it could be setting up something much larger in the post-Return of the Jedi era.

The Mandalorian & Grogu opens exclusively in theaters May 22, 2026.

This week’s solo livestream dives into the latest Star Wars news and a data-driven breakdown that might change how you view the saga.

First up, we cover a new update on the long-quiet Rogue Squadron film, including comments from screenwriter Matthew Robinson and what they may signal about the project’s status at Lucasfilm.

Then we examine a reported Ahsoka Season 2 leak involving a Dathomir set build and what that could mean for the direction of the series. Why return to Dathomir? And what does it say about where the story is headed?

For the main topic, we shift from rumors to raw numbers.

Using screen time data from the Star Wars movies, we break down the 10 characters with the most total screen time in the Skywalker Saga. Some placements are exactly what you’d expect. Others might surprise you. The results spark a bigger question: who really drives Star Wars when you look at the franchise objectively?

If you enjoy Star Wars news, thoughtful analysis, and structured debates, this one’s for you.

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt is joined by Young Nick for a pre-recorded episode packed with Star Wars news, rumors, and leaked set photo discussion.

We start with Ahsoka Season 2, where newly surfaced set images appear to show massive, ancient mechanical remains scattered across Peridea. If the photos are legit, they may hint at a long-forgotten war that left the galaxy largely lifeless, outside of the Great Witches seen in stasis during Season 1. We also discuss a separate rumored image tied to the Mortis Gods and what that could mean for how deep Season 2 might go into Force mythology.

From there, we shift to confirmed news, including reports that the upcoming Starfighter film will feature no legacy characters at all, signaling a major creative departure for theatrical Star Wars.

We also hit on podracing officially returning in the upcoming Galactic Racer game and break down the first preview of the Maul prequel comic Shadow of Maul, which explores Maul’s past ahead of the animated series Maul: Shadow Lord.

As always, we separate fact from speculation, flag rumors clearly, and try to connect the dots without going full tinfoil.

This week on The Star Wars Time Show, we attempt something deeply unwise: ranking 85 Star Wars video games live.

From genre-defining classics to forgotten oddities, we build a massive tier list covering decades of Star Wars gaming history. Not every game here is one we’ve personally played, so yes — there’s a Haven’t Played tier — and chat absolutely gets involved when things get controversial.

Expect strong opinions, instant regret, nostalgia, and plenty of debate as games move between S-tier legends and bottom-of-the-barrel disasters.

Whether you grew up with retro Star Wars games or jumped in during the modern era, this one’s guaranteed to spark arguments.

A podcast for a more uncivilized age.

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt and Young Nick break down two stories that hit very different parts of the Star Wars fandom, but both carry real implications for the future of the franchise.

First, we dive into a growing rumor circulating within the industry that Dave Filoni could be preparing to take on a larger leadership role at Lucasfilm, potentially alongside Lynwen Brennan, with longtime president Kathleen Kennedy possibly nearing retirement. We discuss where the rumor is coming from, how realistic it actually is, and what a Filoni-led Lucasfilm might look like in practice, creatively and structurally.

Then we pivot to the bigger surprise of the week: reports that Tom Cruise filmed a lightsaber duel for Shawn Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film, Starfighter. While Cruise’s involvement is eye-catching on its own, the real takeaway is what this confirms about the movie itself: Force users and lightsabers are officially part of the story. We break down why that matters, what it tells us about the direction of Star Wars films, and why this changes expectations for Starfighter.

Topics covered include:

• How credible the Filoni leadership rumors really are

• What Lucasfilm leadership transitions usually look like

• Why lightsabers in Starfighter are a much bigger deal than Cruise’s cameo

• What this means for Force users in future Star Wars films

As always, we separate rumor from reality and talk through what actually matters long-term for Star Wars.
