Maul - Night of the Hunted
The arrival of the Empire on Janix and an Inquisitor (A.J. LoCascio) ripping through the life of Captain Brander Lawson (Wagner Moura) which uncovers both the truth of Maul's (Sam Witwer) survival and the reveals the existence of two Jedi fugitives on the planet creates some strange allies. With Lawson, his son, and the two Jedi on the run, the episode culminates in Maul and Devon Izara (Gideon Adlon) fighting the Inquisitor together providing time for an escape. However, now that both Jedi and a former Sith have been confirmed at large on Janix, what new trouble might the Empire bring to bear on the planet?
The tension of the episode certainly is ratcheted up with the Inquisitor on the heels of our protagonists, and it's a nice change to see the Lawson story more past the fretting loop it seemed permanently stuck in and weaved closer into the Maul's story. The lightsaber fight in the subway continues the strong action of the series, but for the first time there are some real stakes at play making it stand out over Maul's other impressive conflicts.
