A new official trailer for Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord reveals Darth Maul rebuilding his criminal syndicate after the Clone Wars, premiering as a two-episode Disney+ event on April 6.
Star Wars is diving back into the criminal underworld with a new animated project. IGN South Africa recently showcased the official trailer for Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, giving fans a look at Darth Maul's next chapter in the galaxy. Set after the chaos of the Clone Wars, the story follows Maul as he attempts to rebuild his criminal empire on a remote planet far from imperial control, setting up a direct conflict against the remnants of the Republic and the newly formed Empire.
Sam Witwer returns to voice the iconic Sith warrior, bringing the same intense energy that defined his previous performances in the role. The project arrives as a two-episode premiere event exclusively on Disney+ on April 6. For fans who treat streaming services as core weekend hangout spots and follow animated canon as closely as blockbuster film releases, this gives the community another major narrative arc to dissect across Discord and YouTube breakdown channels.
Disney continues to lean heavily into streaming event formats to capture live audience buzz on release night. By dropping a double episode right out of the gate, the platform is clearly banking on immediate social media traction and creator reactions to drive engagement. You can watch the full trailer over at IGN South Africa.
