Join Children of the Watch as we continue our Mandalorian Rewatch! In preparation for the next Star Wars film, The Mandalorian & Grogu, we're going back through The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and The Mandalorian itself to break down all of the easter eggs, connections, and hints about what could be coming in the movie!
This week, we're covering one of our favorite arcs in The Clone Wars! We watched episodes 14-16 of Season 5, which sees Maul manipulating Death Watch and many of Star Wars' favorite crime syndicates to take over Mandalore. Join the discussion about Palpatine's ultimate goals for Maul and the Mandalorians, what these episodes say about the upcoming Maul: Shadowlord series, a possible reason why Embo may show up in The Mandalorian & Grogu, and so much more!
Next week, we continue the Rewatch with the Seige of Mandalore arc!
