We're kicking off the first episode in our series where we're pitting Maul-centric episodes head-to-head to crown the champion Maul Moment in MARCH MAUL MADNESS, as we prep for Maul: Shadow Lord.

First up, Savage Opress discovers his brother, Darth Maul, and the horror he's become in The Clone Wars, Season 4 Episode 21 "Brothers." In the following episode, Maul regains his mind and seeks his revenge against Obi-Wan Kenobi (with special guest star Asajj Ventress) in "Revenge."

Which episode will move onto the next round? Listen in to find out!

We've reached the finale of our coverage of Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 and we saved the best for last (and the last for last because it's the final episode!). Written and directed by the legendary Shinya Ohira, BLACK gives us a surreal look at the final moments of a Stormtrooper's life as the Death Star is destroyed.

But the episode is so much more than that--it's a celebration of animation, music, and, of course, Star Wars. We talk about fan reactions, Ohira's influence in animation, and give our final thoughts on Volume 3.

"Somehow you survived. You know what that means? It means there must be a reason you're still alive."

We're flying solo as we wind down our coverage of Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 and we're talking about one of our favorite episodes this volume has to offer. From the incredible music by Towa Tei to the adorable introduction to the force-sensitive, Pokemon like Woopas, we adored everything Project Studio Q gave us with this episode.
