Take a closer look at the new poster art for the series and prepare for a two-episode premiere on Disney+ April 6, 2026.<\/p>\n
In the shadow of the Empire, Maul<\/a> remains devoted to the darkness.<\/p>\n A new official trailer for Star Wars: Maul \u2013 Shadow Lord<\/a> has arrived, with all the lightsaber clashing and Inquisitor fighting one would expect from the tale of a former Sith<\/a> Lord with a penchant for revenge and a Jedi Padawan and her Master adrift without an Order.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n From the Lucasfilm Ltd emblem skewered on a laser sword to the fiery Maul \u2013 Shadow Lord logo, the trailer promises Imperial Inquisitors like The Crow (Eleventh Brother) and Marrok on the prowl, plus epic battles as the iconic villain Maul encounters the long arm of the law on Janix<\/a>. Maul\u2019s next confrontation will be fueled by his quest for revenge.<\/p>\n In the latest poster art, the scowling visage of Maul is lit by an artistically ignited red lightsaber, encircled by Jedi Padawan Devon Izara<\/a>, Jedi Master Eeko-Dio Daki, the Mandalorian warrior Rook Kast, Zabrak brothers Icarus and Scorn, and the scheming scoundrel Looti Vario. Hovering near the dark side warrior\u2019s hilt we find police detective Captain Brander Lawson<\/a>, his droid partner Two-Boots<\/a>, and Lawson\u2019s son Rylee. With a Star Destroyer looming overhead, prepare to enter the world of Janix in the early years of Emperor Palpatine<\/a>\u2019s reign.<\/p>\n Beginning with a two-episode premiere on Disney+ April 6, 2026, and two episodes each week leading to a finale on Star Wars Day, May the 4th, Star Wars: Maul \u2013 Shadow Lord presents fans with a pulpy adventure that finds Maul plotting to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire<\/a>. There, he crosses paths with a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who may just be the apprentice he is seeking to aid him in his relentless pursuit for revenge.<\/p>\n The cast includes Sam Witwer as Maul, Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara, recent Golden Globe\u00ae winner and Oscar\u00ae nominee Wagner Moura as Brander Lawson, Richard Ayoade as Two-Boots, Dennis Haysbert as Master Eeko-Dio Daki, Chris Diamantopoulos as Looti Vario, Charlie Bushnell as Rylee Lawson, Vanessa Marshall as Rook Kast, David W.
