Show Notes

Welcome to Season 5, the season with no name! We begin with the radio announcer telling us that Maul and Opress have teamed up to do bad across the Outer Rim - so bad that they kill two Jedi in new footage during the opening montage! The brothers secure a pile of ill-gotten loot on Cybloc, where Maul also makes formal the fact that the Rule of Two is in effect, and that Savage is the junior member of the team. They then take their booty to Florrum, where the evil duo bribe a number of Hondo Ohnaka's gang to join up. The villains plot an attack on our...friend?.. Hondo for refusing to join as well. 

Obi-wan and Adi Gallia are on their trail, and make it to Florrum to join the fight. Sadly, Adi Gallia's Jedi Power Battles come to an end at the horns of Savage Opress. Kenobi and the Weequay retreat to the tunnels, where Kenobi offers to fight the Zabraks while Hondo collapses the tunnels to separate the Sith from his former pirate crew. Hondo readily agrees. A lightsaber battle rages! Kenobi gains the upper hand by disarming Savage; in the other tunnel, Hondo reconciles with the men who earlier betrayed him. The combined forces turn the tide of combat, and Maul and Opress are forced to flee the planet.

Back on Coruscant, Kenobi demands further action against Maul, but Chancellor Palpatine and Master Yoda decide this is too personal for Kenobi, and the Separatists remain the real threat. They promise to take action against Maul if he pops his antlered dome up in the future. As the Jedi depart, we zoom in on Palpatine smirking at how this is all going, and we reach THE END.
