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 [...]
Last year, Tales of the Jedi showed us the tragic story of Dooku, once a respected Jedi Master who turned to the dark side after seeing the Republic's failures and the seduction of Darth Sidious.
