Trailer reveals three new details about Maul: Shadow Lord

Darth Maul is set to return as the lead in Maul: Shadow Lord, a new animated series from Lucasfilm Animation arriving on Disney Plus on April 6. The show centers on Maul rebuilding his criminal empire on the planet Janix, and the latest trailer teases several new threads that could shape his path.

One focal point is Devon Izara, a young Twi’lek Jedi hiding after Order 66. Maul tells her they can band together to destroy the Empire, but Devon’s reptile-like companion—also a Jedi—insists Maul will “never” be their ally. The trailer raises the possibility that Maul might seek an apprentice in Devon, which prompts questions about the Rule of Two and whether that could doom her companion; Maul later appears to Ezra Bridger in Star Wars: Rebels, suggesting a different fate down the line.
