January 22, 2026January 22, 2026 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

It’s official: the first trailer for MAUL – SHADOW LORD is here. Lucasfilm just released the very first look at the upcoming animated series, and it’s already clear what kind of ride this is going to be: darker tone, sharper edge, and Maul doing what Maul does best — building power through pure menace. Even better: the trailer also confirms the premiere date. ✅ MAUL – SHADOW LORD premieres on Disney+ on April 6. Trailer: The First Trailer Is Out — And It Looks Like “Dangerous Star Wars” This isn’t a cute side-story. The trailer sells MAUL – SHADOW LORD as a series that lives deep in the post-Clone Wars chaos — the era where the galaxy is reorganizing under the Empire, and the people in the shadows are making their moves. Which, let’s be honest… is where Maul always shines. April 6 Premiere Date Confirmed The big headline for…

Brad Rau Will Supervise MAUL – SHADOW LORD (And That’s Actually Huge)

January 22, 2026January 22, 2026 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

If you needed one more reason to take MAUL – SHADOW LORD seriously, here it is: Brad Rau is officially the supervising director of the series. And if that name rings a bell, it’s because Rau was also the supervising director of Star Wars: The Bad Batch. That’s not just a nice trivia fact — it’s a real creative signal about what kind of show Lucasfilm Animation is building here. Brad Rau Is One of Lucasfilm Animation’s “Trust This Person” Names Brad Rau isn’t new to Star Wars. He’s been one of the steady hands behind the modern animated era, with credits across multiple Lucasfilm Animation projects — but The Bad Batch is the big one, and the one that matters most here. If you watched The Bad Batch, you know the vibe: That’s exactly the kind of storytelling DNA you’d want in a Maul-focused series. Maul’s Timing Matters (And…

Star Wars animation is about to get dangerous again.

The Teaser Image Is a Direct Callback to “Twin Suns” If you’ve seen Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Episode 20 (Twin Suns), you already know why this matters.

How Many Seasons and Years Will Maul: Shadow Lord Run For?

December 24, 2025December 24, 2025 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

When Maul: Shadow Lord was announced, the excitement wasn’t just about seeing Darth Maul return to the spotlight—it was about how Lucasfilm plans to tell his story this time. With the animated series set to debut on Disney+ in 2026, one question keeps surfacing among fans who’ve followed Star Wars animation closely: how long will this show actually last on Disney+? Not in terms of hype cycles or wishful thinking, but in the practical, story-driven sense that determines whether a series feels complete or overstays its welcome. Looking at how Lucasfilm has handled recent animated projects, Maul’s established place in canon, and the realities of modern streaming production, there’s a surprisingly clear answer hiding in plain sight. Will it be a tight, prestige-style run?A longer, Clone Wars–style epic?Or something deliberately limited? Let’s break this down properly—based on how Lucasfilm actually treats animated Star Wars, not wishful thinking or hype cycles….

Maul – Shadow Lord Gets an Official Plot Description — and It’s Exactly as Dark as It Sounds

December 19, 2025December 20, 2025 Soeren Kamper

Darth Maul has never really fit into neat boxes. Sith apprentice, crime lord, survivor, symbol of unfinished business. Now, Star Wars is finally putting a clear frame around his next chapter — and it lands in one of the franchise’s most volatile eras. An official plot description for Maul – Shadow Lord has been revealed, and it confirms a story rooted firmly in chaos, power struggles, and the moral vacuum left behind after the fall of the Republic. What’s been revealed The new official description reads: “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.” That’s it. No character list. No timeline specifics beyond the obvious. And that restraint matters. This isn’t about spectacle or legacy cameos. It’s about positioning Maul exactly where he thrives: in the shadows, fighting for relevance in a galaxy…

Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) – ISB Director Maul Brings Sith Style to Imperial Intelligence

August 12, 2025August 12, 2025 Novara Skuara

Darth Maul is one of the most visually iconic characters in the Star Wars galaxy—those horns, the red-and-black tattoos, the double-bladed lightsaber. But in the ISB Director Maul mod for Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017), he trades his usual savage Sith aesthetic for something far more… corporate. And by “corporate,” we mean the deadly, black-uniformed corporate of the Empire’s Imperial Security Bureau.

You can download ISB Director Maul here and give your matches a more sinister bureaucratic edge. What the ISB Director Maul Mod Changes Gone are the flowing robes and martial-arts-ready layers—Maul now wears the crisp, officer-style uniform of the ISB, complete with rank insignia, sharp tailoring, and a presence that screams “your entire family is under investigation.” Key features include:…

Darth Maul didn’t just survive The Phantom Menace. He thrived. Spider legs, Mandalorian alliances, and eventually, a glow-up into the stylish crimelord of Crimson Dawn.

Enter the Crimson Dawn Maul – Star Cards and Text Overhaul, a mod that swaps out the Sith assassin’s original content with a fresh coat of “Syndicate Boss Realness.” This one doesn’t change Maul’s outfit or animations, but instead retools the star cards and all related text elements to match his Crimson Dawn persona—just in case you wanted to pair lightsaber violence with mafia-level cool.

Darth Maul in Star Wars: A Case of Overuse Diminishing Impact

How Old Is Maul? A Complete Timeline of the Sith Apprentice’s Age

April 18, 2025April 18, 2025 gingetattoo

He’s been cut in half, rebuilt with robot legs, and fueled by vengeance ever since. Maul—formerly known as Darth Maul—is one of the most enduring characters in Star Wars, both literally and narratively. But between his dramatic debut in The Phantom Menace, his resurrection in The Clone Wars, and his quiet, emotional end in Rebels, a lot of people are asking the same thing: How old is Maul during his journey through the Star Wars timeline? Let’s break it down. 🍼 Maul’s Birth and Early Life Maul was born on Dathomir in 54 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). That makes him a Dathomirian Zabrak, a hybrid species from a planet known for its witches, warriors, and general bad vibes. As a child, Maul was taken by Darth Sidious (a.k.a. Palpatine), who raised and trained him in secret as a Sith apprentice. Even by Sith standards, his upbringing was brutal—engineered…

Maul Returns in Star Wars: Shadow Lord — A Dark Chapter Begins Again

April 18, 2025April 18, 2025 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Jedi Master Maul Mod for Battlefront II: When the Dark Side Just Wasn’t It Anymore

April 14, 2025July 20, 2025 Novara Skuara

Darth Maul has been through a lot. He got sliced in half, stitched back together, lost his brother, got rejected by Sidious, lost to Obi-Wan (again), and then got taken out with one poetic slash on Tatooine. You’d think at some point he’d consider career counseling. Well, in this alternate timeline, he did. Thanks to the Jedi Master Maul mod for Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017), Maul’s officially turned in his Sith robes and red saber for a more peaceful, slightly more stylish path. This isn’t a fanfic—it’s a real mod, and it’s surprisingly convincing. The what-if scenario: What if Maul, tired of chasing revenge like a galactic drama queen, decided to take a deep breath, reevaluate his life choices, and join the Jedi Order? Or, at the very least, put on a fresh robe and try not to murder everything in sight. It’s a twist that turns one of…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Developer Insights: Darth Revan

March 20, 2019May 24, 2024 Soeren Kamper

The Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, CG_SBCrumb, sat down with CG_ParkingInstructor to discuss Darth Revan and where this character fits into Galaxy of Heroes. If you haven’t met CG_Parkinginstructor, he is a designer who mainly works on character creation and was the main designer on Darth Traya, Darth Sion, Chewbacca, and Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) among many others. OVERVIEW SBC: So who is the Darth Revan character?PI: Darth Revan is a dominant leader for the new Sith Empire faction and powers up a team by weakening its own defensive capabilities. Darth Revan will lead a very aggressive Sith Empire team that aims to take down enemies quickly but with a different approach than most. Darth Revan’s kit is focused on effectively taking down the enemy leader while applying beneficial debuffs. We think this will be a very powerful character with longevity in PvP and do fairly well in raids. Check out Darth Revan’s kit…
