This moment, when Maul hangs up on Palpatine, is in my opinion the most empowered Maul ever gets to be. In fact, I think it might even be going too far! I’m not sure Maul, as I think of him, would ever have the confidence to actually do this. But this moment ultimately doesn’t last very long, and Maul is certainly humbled by the end of this comic. :(

We want any interested fan to join us in our thought process and provide input and presentation with The Mandalorian Season 3 and other shows along with the timeline air. This plan will be adjusted as needed. Any exciting fan will be “IN” on the SWAG77 strategic plan, and fans are requested to play along and keep this plan secret (concealed). SWAG77 plans to protect Star Wars fans from toxicity when Star Wars shows air. It also raises thoughtful questions and ideas that the producers find intriguing and willing to entertain for their future projects.
The first season of ‘The Mandalorian’ comes to a close in 'Redemption.’ This season pulled off a feat that not much has in the ’Star Wars’ universe since the days of 'A New Hope.’ It got people, even people outside of 'Star Wars’ fandom, talking about 'Star Wars’ again. Of course, a lot of that discussion is due to a particular asset’s cuteness, but not all of it. The writing and the direction throughout the season, especially on 'Redemption,’ are what kept people coming back.
Nurse Droid
Taika Waititi sits in the director’s chair for 'Redemption.’ I have to say I’ve been looking forward to his episode all season long and I wasn’t disappointed. He can inject humor even into the darkest moments. Witness the scene between an injured Din Djarin and the reprogrammed IG-11 to see Waititi’s mastery. Waititi is also good at bringing the humanity of his characters to the fore. The path of IG-11 this season is a beautiful example of this. We start the season glad Djarin kills IG-11, and we end the season not wanting to see their new partnership end.
Darksaber
Moff Gideon comes on to the scene and makes quite the impression. Comparable to Darth Vader’s appearance in 'A New Hope,’ there is no mistaking Gideon means serious business. The revelation at the end of the episode that Gideon has the Darksaber was a little lost on me. I haven’t invested in 'The Clone Wars’ or 'Rebels’ enough to understand the weapon’s importance. I’ll be giving those shows some time while waiting for 'The Mandalorian’ to return. It seems evident that Gideon has an interest in the Mandalorians and Din Djarin in particular. How this plays out in season 2, we’ll have to wait and see.
Finale
There were a few loose points I would have liked to see addressed in 'The Mandalorian - Redemption.’ If we’ve learned anything this season, though, it’s that patience is rewarded. Assuming there aren’t significant behind-the-scenes changes before season 2, I’ll get the answers I want. New questions too, but that is really what any 'Star Wars’ fan wants. And 'The Mandalorian’ is the most welcome addition this year to the 'Star Wars’ universe.
AIE. You caught me. You’re not spose to see this holo.

They said I had to go this event. It is my event. My-my coronation… *gulps about to cry*
All because I defeated Viceroy Gar Saxon with the Darksaber.
Star Wars Rebels Season 3, Trials of the Darksaber
Okay, look, I gave the Darksaber to Bo-Katan Kryze. She’s the rightful ruler, isn’t she? I-I wasn’t old enough to rule all of Mandalore or Mandalorian Space. Then…the Mandalorian purge happened…
