Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord (2026)

After the Clone Wars, Maul plots to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire.

Painted Backdrops: The show went "back to basics" by creating backgrounds with painted glass, similar to Star Wars: A New Hope. However, unlike the original film, Maul - Shadow Lord layers animated characters over the backdrops instead of live-action actors.
Ahsoka Connections: The trailer for Maul: Shadow Lord features connections to Ahsoka Tano, in both animation and live-action.
Resurrecting Original Plans: The series revisits George Lucas's discarded sequel trilogy roadmap by extending Darth Maul's story. This suggests the franchise may be returning to ideas it once cast aside.
New Animation Style: While echoing the animation style of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Maul: Shadow Lord utilizes visual improvements and a "paintbrush-type" style. This new art style may depict flashbacks throughout the series.
Filling in the Gaps: Maul: Shadow Lord aims to fill in the blanks in Maul's story and connect the dots between the end of The Clone Wars and Maul's cameo appearance in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The series takes place after the events of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
