Mail Shadow Lords Episode 2
Destruction of property x 30
Conspiracy to commit theft x 1
Conspiracy to commit murder x 2
Cabral and PinkishPurple are climbing up something whilst being shot at by the cops. PinkishPurple tries to escape and is stunned by Maul’s robot friend. Silly PP, doesn’t she know he doesn’t care that Maul is racist?
The cops commandeer what I presume is a garbage truck.
The Zabraks and the Mandalorian are trying to escape and are being chased by a cop car. They use ROCKET LAUNCHER. It is SUPER EFFECTIVE. Unfortunately PP’s Jedi master has sensed his padawan. He jumps from one highway onto the other. He uses THE FORCE. It is SUPER EFFECTIVE.
Maul jumps out the truck. FORCE WIELDER FIGHT LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!
And the fucking cops show up. Maul uses the force to snap the pedestrian walkway above. PP’s Jedi master is forced to help save the civilians stopping us from getting our force wielder fight. Boo.
PP’s Jedi master escapes from the cops as well.
The next day Lawson speaks to his commander who demands that he close the case before the governor calls the Empire for help. Lawson says that if the Empire comes they’ll lock the planet down.
Back at Mauls base — mauls hideout? Mauls Mansion. He’s nice to PP and says his Mandalorians can help with her injuries. He then tells one of them that PP is a Jedi and that he will fashion her into a weapon that can help them defeat Darth Sidious. Maul, you have gotten your ass kicked by Obi Wan, Obi Wan again, Obi wan and Ventress, by Sidious (who murked your brother), and by Obi Wans grand-padawan. Your life is a series of L’s brother, let it go, get a hobby, start writing poetry.
Oh I should mention this isn’t Coruscant. If it was the “governor” wouldn’t be talking about calling in the Empire.
Lawson has a son but is apparently separated from the boys mother. Still I’m assuming he’s the primary caregiver since the boy is talking about “visiting” his mother.
Lawson goes back into the office. Still wants to hunt down Mail without calling in the Empire. Lawson is Dumbson.
Back to Maul. Apparently Vaario helps the Pykes smuggle spice into this system. Maul is going to attack the shipments until the leader of the Pykes (somebody named Krim) organises a meeting with Vaario to deal with the attacks. More vague threats, how seriously I take this show will depend on whether or not Krim is dead by the end of the episode.
Lawson driving through the night, his eyes lit up by neon fire. It’s a long drive to get to the Entertainment district, especially when you’re on your way to meet a dame as dangerous as Sul.
Lawson wants information on the Shadow Collective. Sul gives him the exposition.
PP imprisoned. Maul gives her the Dark side is a pathway to power speech, flavoured this time with “times have changed man, you gotta be evil in an evil galaxy, use the dark side to open the prison door.”
Maul and the Minions steal the Pykes spice. I’m guessing the Zabraks will snort most of it they seem like that’s their jam.
Oh wow Maul kills the Pyke henchmen. They aren’t droids. Found the next group that Maul is racist to.
PP didn’t use the dark side. Maul gives her the “it’s time to grow up and stop believing in goodness rant”. PP tries to use the force to open the door and fails. She sees light through the back. She uses the force again and is somehow able to push the back open. She escapes into a cave.
Not the biggest fan of this episode. Ends weirdly. Will put it at 5/10. Not obviously bad but doesn’t really have anything outstanding going on.
