With the final two episodes right around the corner, it seems Maul - Shadow Lord may be saving the best for last, as "Call to Oblivion" and "The Creeping Fear" gave us some of the best this show's had to offer so far.Both episodes showed us new sides to Maul while bringing more of the grounded action, chase sequences, and stunning animation we've been drooling over. We're stoked for the finale.And make sure you take our collective-wide survey during the month of May! You can even be entered for a chance to win a $50 gift card!

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.- Sources -Artist Spotlight: Shin'ya Ohira - Animetudes- Where To Find Us - Web: ⁠GlitterJaw.com⁠⁠Bluesky: @DistantEchoespod.bsky.socialInstagram: ⁠⁠@DistantEchoesSW⁠⁠TikTok: @DistantEchoesPod⁠Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠- Theme Music -失望した by EVA -⁠ https://joshlis.bandcamp.com⁠⁠Promoted by ⁠⁠@RoyaltyFreePlanet⁠⁠Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/RFP_CClicense⁠Please consider donating to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, a non-profit with the mission to provide medical and humanitarian relief collectively and individually to children throughout the Levant, regardless of their nationality or religion: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pcrf.net⁠⁠⁠⁠ All audio clips are used under Fair Use and belong to their respective copyright owners.
