1 Feb
Summary
- Maul series premieres April 6th with two episodes.
- New show offers a mature tone focusing on Maul's underworld.
- Story is set near the start of the Imperial era.
Lucasfilm Animation is set to release "Star Wars: Maul -- Shadow Lord," a new animated series focusing on the character Maul. The show begins with a two-episode premiere on April 6th and will continue with weekly releases leading up to Star Wars Day on May 4th. This 10-episode series is noted for its shorter run compared to previous animated series but offers a more mature tone by exploring Maul's involvement in the criminal underworld.
The visual style of "Maul -- Shadow Lord" is described as a return to traditional artistic techniques, aiming to capture brush strokes for a unique look. The narrative is set years before Maul's final confrontation with Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Star Wars Rebels," placing it in the early Imperial era. This timeline suggests the series may overlap with or immediately follow "Star Wars: The Bad Batch," delving into Maul's story before his ultimate demise.
