At Star Wars Party in Tokyo, Japan today during a panel celebrating 20 years Lucasfilm Animation HistoryThe studio confirmed that its next big lively chapter will be none other than Darth Maul series.
Continuing a legacy that began with the 3DCG Clone wars series, before continuing the liking of Rebels,, Resistance,, Bad lotand vigorous anthologies As the Stories Series,, Maul: Shadow Sir will follow maul (played returning Clone wars And Rebels Star Sam Witwer), apparently, when he builds the criminal dawn criminal union. The trailer shown to collect fans in the hall included various criminal factions such as the Pykes countering from attacks on shipments, only for Maul to reveal himself as the architect. While the appearance of the show is a wide development of the artistic style seen in Clone wars and then the Stories anthologies, are also a new stylistic flower in Shadow gentlemanThe aesthetics, which bends on rough lines and ragged edges, best spotted Maul’s criminal sword blades, which look almost fiery.
One of the most interesting elements of the whole trailer was that Maul finds himself what seems to be a young new apprentice in the ways of the force: a young Twi’lek girl, whom he frees from captivity and then begins to teach. Along with her teaching, we see shots of gang wars, intense hunting through the annoyance of an urban planet (not unlike Coruscant, but Maul would really play in the back yard of his old master? We will have to wait and see), and even an encounter with the inquisitor in the form of Ahsoka‘S MarrokWhoever expresses his surprise that Maul survived even as he pulls sabers with him.
Maul: Shadow Mr. will release in 2026.
