Lucasfilm Animation’s latest entry in the Star Wars franchise comes in animated form. Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, featuring the voice of Sam Witwer as Maul, released a teaser trailer and announced an April 6, 2026 premiere on Disney+.
“Set after the events of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this pulpy adventure finds Maul plotting to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire. There, he crosses paths with a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who could be the apprentice he is seeking to aid him in his relentless pursuit for revenge,” reads Lucasfilm Animation’s synopsis.
In addition to Witwer, the voice cast includes Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara, Wagner Moura (just nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for The Secret Agent) as Brander Lawson, Richard Ayoade as Two-Boots, Dennis Haysbert as Master Eeko-Dio-Daki, and Chris Diamantopoulos as Looti Vario. Charlie Bushnell is Rylee Lawson, Vanessa Marshall is Rook Kast, David C. Collins is Spybot, A.J. LoCascio is Marrok, and Steve Blum is Icarus.
Dave Filoni created the series, based on Star Wars and characters created by George Lucas. Filoni and Matt Michnovetz developed the series and executive produce along with Athena Yvette Portillo, Brad Rau, Carrie Beck, and Josh Rimes.
