Join the discussion as they discuss the show's dark, film noir-style setting on the planet Janix, the stunning animation quality, and the strong cast including Sam Witwer as Maul and Vanessa Marshall as Rook Kast. They breakdown the morality themes throughout the episodes, particularly focusing on the character development of Padawan Devon Izara and her struggle between Jedi principles and personal desires. Aaron and David also explore the potential for multiple seasons of the series, connecting it to other Star Wars content including Rebels and Solo.
