Maul – Shadow Lord gives this iconic Sith Lord the Star Wars series he deserves

Almost 30 years after his cinematic debut, iconic villain Darth Maul returns to glory in his long-overdue Disney+ series, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. Set a year after the Clone Wars ended, Maul – Shadow Lord follows the titular villain (Sam Witwer) as he tries to rebuild his criminal empire in the shadows of the Galactic Empire. At the same time, he pursues the fugitive Jedi Padawan Devon Izara (Gideon Adlon) in the hopes of making her his new apprentice.

Only two episodes of Maul – Shadow Lord have debuted on streaming at this time. Nevertheless, the show has already established itself as a strong, unique addition to the Star Wars Universe. It is rated fresh by both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and Disney and Lucasfilm are already working on a second season.
