At last, we will have revenge… starting tomorrow.

Lucasfilm has officially dropped a teaser for the new Darth Maul animated series, Shadow Lord, which will drop later this year.

Rooted in the epic legacy of George Lucas and Dave Filoni, Lucasfilm Animation dares to be great every step of the way.

Next up, in 2026 the new animated series, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord will mark the return of the ever-elusive Maul.



Announced at Star Wars Celebration Japan, Maul – Shadow Lord explores Maul’s quest for power in the gritty and merciless underworld following the aftermath of The Clone Wars and Order 66.

With the return of legendary actor Sam Witwer, Maul is sure to leave his mark.

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord will reveal Maul’s plan to rebuild his criminal syndicate on Janix, a planet untouched by the Empire.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
