Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord | Official Trailer
As can be seen in the trailer, there is a lot for Star Wars fans to look forward to. This includes some fantastic fights, Imperial Inquisitors like The Crow (Eleventh Brother) and Marrok on the prowl, and Maul encountering the long arm of the law on Janix. In this case, Maul is now fueled by a quest for revenge.
New Poster
New poster art was also released with the trailer. It has Maul being lit by a red lightsaber and surrounded by Jedi Padawan Devon Izara, Jedi Master Eeko-Dio Daki, and the Mandalorian warrior Rook Kast, Zabrak brothers Icarus and Scorn, and also the scheming scoundrel Looti Vario. Over by the warrior’s hilt, there is police detective Captain Brander Lawson, his droid partner Two-Boots, and Lawson’s son Rylee. On top of that, a Star Destroyer looms overhead as the Empire casts its shadow over the world of Janix in the early years of Emperor Palpatine’s reign.
Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord will premiere with two episodes on April 6, 2026, on Disney+. This will be followed by a release of two episodes each week, leading up to the finale on Star Wars Day, May the 4th. This series presents fans with a pulpy adventure showcasing Maul’s efforts to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet that the Empire hasn’t touched. Along the way, he crosses paths with a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who could end up being the apprentice he hopes for in his quest for revenge.
