Star Wars hasn't gotten everything right since Lucasfilm was acquired by Disney in 2012, but one of the biggest things they have gotten right is the franchise's most prominent character: Darth Vader. He hasn't been the main focus of many stories, but when he has appeared he is a nearly untouchable threat, a true horror [...]
The season one finale of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord premiered on Disney+ today in celebration of Star Wars Day (May the Fourth), and it is INSANE. The episodes are non-stop action in the best way possible, featuring some of the best lightsaber duels in the entire franchise - live-action or animation. The episodes [...]
Though you could probably watch Maul - Shadow Lord without having seen any other Star Wars animated show, there is some really significant context you'd be missing if you haven't seen The Clone Wars. But the most referenced storyline actually didn't even take place in that prior animated series, instead being told in a comic [...]
The newest Star Wars animated series is doing what many shows before it have failed to do: make the Inquisitors seem truly terrifying. The Inquisitors were introduced in the Star Wars canon with the animated series Rebels. They are a group of dark side Force users (mostly fallen Jedi) under the direction of Darth Vader, [...]
We've already reached the penultimate week of Maul - Shadow Lord, and this series just continues to fire on all cylinders. Two more episodes released this week, with episodes 7 ("Call to Oblivion") and 8 ("The Creeping Fear"), showing the Inquisitors closing in on Maul and the Jedi. In the process, we get a more [...]
Maul - Shadow Lord is an incredible show that just keeps getting better and better each week. The two latest episodes premiered today on Disney+, taking us past the halfway point of the show's first season - and raising the stakes considerably, with the arrival of the Empire. We're allowed to feel the building tension, [...]
The first two episodes of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord were incredible. The next two are even better. The newest Star Wars animated series continued this week with episodes 3 and 4, respectively titled "Whispers in the Unknown" and "Pride and Vengeance". The action and the stakes really pick up this week, so let's [...]
It's always a good day when a new Star Wars show premieres. The newest series from Lucasfilm Animation released today, and it's all about the former Sith-turned-crime boss, Maul. The series, which will include ten episodes in its first season, has already been renewed for season two ahead of the premiere. Set after the events [...]
The next big Star Wars project is the animated series Maul - Shadow Lord, which premieres on Disney+ on April 6. I'm very excited about this show. But it does seem to me a bit ironic, at the same time, that the big project at the moment is a story all about someone who very [...]
The hype continues to pick up for the newest Star Wars animated series, Maul - Shadow Lord, ahead of its premiere on Monday, April 6. The Lucasfilm social media team is firing on all cylinders, churning out plenty of promos, clips, and teasers. The latest one was a thirty-second teaser about how Maul prefers to [...]
