Text of the page (random words):
time and the extent to which he has outlived the era he knows how to live in before any of the weird hair trigger posters on this site gets on my case this is not a condemnation it s a neutral description of him as a character i love him it s also tapered and slightly curved in a very unique way which you can only presume is to tailor it to daki s non humanoid three fingered grip which i think is really neat devon on the other hand has a very utilitarian hilt with no frills it s basically just a simple cylinder where detail comes from the two tone silver black metal coloring fitting because she s a padawan and it s the first hilt she ever built and because daki s artsier style of hilt fell out of favor with jedi like a hundred years before she was born but more than that she s a padawan of the clone wars generation and like ahsoka and all the others of that generation her entire apprenticeship was defined by that need to be a weapon before she was anything else hence as simple and functional a lightsaber as you can get but the one thing the two lightsabers have in common other than the blade color is that leather grip on the hilt devon s is much more rugged compared to daki s more aesthetic katana esque wrapping but it s a clear link between the two and looking at that you can so easily imagine that devon might have originally built her lightsaber without it and then upon training with daki she absorbed his preference for it and added that leather sleeve after the fact oh you re right master this does give better control so that even as they are such very different generations of jedi daki s influence is still felt on her which is why ever since i saw it in a fanart a while back i m so enamored with the idea of devon modifying her newly inherited lightsaber in a similar fashion to put her own stamp of ownership on it taking her new dark side master s legacy and adding a bit of her jedi master s to make it more recognizably her own as she starts down the dark path also love the idea of her giving it a pommel to make it permanently a single blade making it suit her more while underlining that maul will never get that piece of himself he gave her back so that the two halves can no longer join up and he can only rely on that blade in devon s hands devon izara eeko dio daki darth maul maul shadow lord star wars 20 69 padofwan reblogged 1d wookieejamcrew 1d follow my favorite underlying theme of maul shadow lord is denialism the denialism not only of impulse but denialism of our cast s new lived reality in the empire this is undoubtedly in my mind one of the more deliberately written themes of this series as it is the heart of season one s core conflict and that is because daki almost verbatim quotes blanche dubois in tennessee williams s a streetcar named desire for those unfamiliar with tennessee williams s works one of his favorite avenues to explore character flaws was through illusion and delusion blanche dubois a well to do southern belle recently loses her family s inherited plantation to foreclosure though the audience should understand in the changing shape of the modern world belle reve is in truth lost to progress and modernity blanche appears to us as a relic entirely out of place and out of time in 1940s louisana she cannot accept her newly lived reality always stricken with panic at the vulgarity of the new world with its clamor and temptation daki of course shares few superficial traits with blanche but both remain suspended in time unable to adapt even going so far as to deny themselves not only their reality but base needs base impulses daki is a creature of habit and tradition he is long lived and has lived long he cannot be anything but suspended in time suspended in the stage of grief that denies reality it is a loyalty to his culture a devotion to himself his identity as a jedi his was a life and a trauma we as humans cannot fathom but devon is not daki and she cannot fathom his process for grief either if daki is akin to blanche devon is akin to the wingfield children in williams s the glass menagerie tom wingfield is a warehouse worker confined to a small apartment with his mother and sister whom he supports financially his mother often recounts her past much like blanche from time immemorial antiquated stories that feel more like fairytales they d heard as children expectedly it drives both of her children to mania tom escapes to art while his sister laura escapes to her glass menagerie both are fragile means to cope with their reality both inside and outside the apartment the new world is described as just as suffocating as their mother s bygone babbles one infused mass of automatism i ll get to maul in a moment devon and daki are confined to living in sewers to panhandling to debasement common of commoners in the wake of congested industrialization this is not the future devon saw for herself the empire robbed her of her clean air her castle in the sky her knighthood her privilege that fantasy is all it is now because unlike her master devon knows only an axial existence her life caught between justice and injustice peacetime and war fantasy and reality tom wingfield recounts to his sister an escape artist magician he saw who inspires his eventual escape from the apartment and let s speak of con artists because maul is not exempt from the williamsisms when we are reintroduced to maul in this series he is swallowed by memory a spy droid not dissimilar from the probe droid he employed in the phantom menace a pair of dathomiri zabraks resembling his brothers and a coterie of fractionally loyal mandalorians it isn t until they are plucked one by one from his side that maul can operate unimpeded by his past there is a line in scene one of the glass menagerie this scene is a memory and is therefore non realistic when the wingfield siblings are forced to face their lived reality it came accompanying violence tom s outburst shatters laura s glass figures and the object of laura s interest in his clumsiness breaks her favorite of her menagerie a lonely unicorn the last of its kind with the ability to adapt enter devon after maul is maimed by the inquisitors he recalls his own fractured past all parts voiced entirely by sam witwer all signaling to the audience in williams s words what funny tricks your memory plays maul s denialism is unlike daki and devon s maul is too shaped by tricks to not see the empire for what it really is the tragedy lies in his inability to decode the precise reality of his trauma and this is why maul is an expert con artist because he was the stage magician s apprentice he can continue to mouth palpatine s propaganda but shape it to deceive a young jedi cloistered in her own 2 by 4 the season ends on an admission and its core conflict is resolved devon declares to maul to herself that she is finally ready to confront reality and abandon the menagerie the 2 by 4 belle reve but the hairline crack in the glass cannot be sealed the violence that came with her emancipation will continue to shape her reality like it shaped maul s the questions i m asking going into season two are will devon go mad by her own proficiency to adapt or will she invent for herself a new reality founded on illusion the lawsons are the civilian perspective brander thinks he can outwit reality continue operating unimpeded as not just a rogue law enforcement officer but as a nominally present father his ex wife being an imperial loyalist is no accident the writers are forcing conflict in brander s already volatile life by introducing constancy in the form of an imperial occupation rylee misses his mother he asks to be with her the portrait of their family sits at brander s desk in flames in their 2 by 4 but his father denies them both the reality of her position in their lives she for now serves as a proxy for the empire but she comes to rylee as a kind and grounding presence she comes to brander as a reminder that the institution he serves cannot be divorced from the strongarm of the empire its laws have always been an extension of theirs just as drea is an extension of the lawsons aurebesh sickos laughter my friend i have been waiting for this post you wrote it better than i could have 3 tonight s theme is themes everyone is living in their own little fantasy and it cannot last it cannot last devon in 7 9 tries her best to be the dutiful padawan again and live in the fantasy of a jude watson novel and then vader shows up to say n anyway the best star wars writers are the ones who signal to you that they are in fact widely read and have chosen to apply that knowledge to this silly space wizard series maul shadow lord star wars 19 75 padofwan reblogged 1d wickanderhalovar 1d follow devon izara in maul shadow lord chapter 1 the dark revenge it s about the combined failures of daki s passivity and lawson s indifference leading

smile on her lips it s the way we only see the bottom half of her face and then only the top half of maul s oh next season is gonna be nuts devon izara darth maul maul shadow lord 2 138 497 padofwan 3d you look at maul in rebels and where he s at character wise and it s just like the space for devon has always been there i don t mean in the sense of like that she s existed for years and they ve only just now told us about her obviously they didn t create her until they started outlining shadow lord but in the sense that the overall story demanded that if we ever took a close look at how maul got to where he was in rebels then a character like devon would have to be created and so devon was the character created to fill that gap the space for a devon in maul s narrative was so palpably needed that people were trying to fit qi ra into it for years because she was the closest thing we had but i never thought she actually quite fit in there because she s not an apprentice she s like an employee and her own narrative is much more defined by what she does with crimson dawn after maul exits things the how of maul exiting things is now inevitably going to be due to devon the apprentice her presence was dark matter that could only be observed via its gravitational effect on the existing narrative and this is why i just cannot consider any idea of her quickly bailing on this whole thing because maul and devon is the premise of the show we spent the whole first season setting it up for a reason and a vision of a version of this show where devon leaves him next season is a vision of a version of this show that only has two seasons because their relationship is the premise of it and he doesn t get to just how sad and pathetic and alone he is in rebels if she was a brief alliance 15 years earlier why i think some between season timeskips are inevitable as we go along not for s2 it s gonna be right after this but like s3 and so on we ve got a double digit number of years to work in here maul shadow lord darth maul devon izara star wars rebels star wars 24 114 padofwan reblogged 3d caiyudraws 4d follow angry angry girl oh the first yellow eyes shot is going to go

acting like a jedi padawan and every time i am just like she would not fucking say that devon izara maul shadow lord as per usual there s an entire unwritten meta analysis post lurking behind this one 3 1 27 padofwan may 12 i do have to laugh every time at this brief face devon pulls at the very moment rylee says my parents aren t together right now because it expresses such a specific emotion of what it feels like when you find out a guy you hate s wife left him like you can tell the exact thought going through her head here is word for word oh lmao good for you lady divorce his ass and truly who among us hasn t been there and then a second later he s like my mom works for the empire and she s like ah damn it that ruins it devon will remember that devon izara rylee lawson maul shadow lord

that he still talks like that even when he s losing his shit fucking vacillations my patience for your vacillations wears thin the sudden shouting does scare the shit out of you maul shadow lord darth maul devon izara 2 145 906 padofwan may 9 devon s conflict in s2 is not going to be about teetering on the edge of the dark side that was her conflict in s1 we already did that and she ended the season by taking the plunge and drinking the paul atreides blue gatorade so in s2 she will not be hesitantly approaching the dark side she will be fully immersing herself in it for the first time she will be getting lost in the sauce on it and the question will be can she hack it is the reality of it something she can accept in practice to get the things she wants that s her conflict there will be moments where she is like hmm am i really into this do i really want to do this for many reasons i believe the answer will be a devastating yes and i believe that is the purpose of the setup for her to learn from lawson that maul betrayed daki because that would give her an easy out it would let her back out of the dark side and save face see you were tricked it wasn t your fault it was all that dastardly maul you don t have to keep doing this because it s only when she gets that easy face saving option that she can admit she doesn t want it because all the reasons she has for wanting this are still true because there was no future for jedi padawan devon izara and no one else is offering her an alternative to this one...
