Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord Review

The Disney era of Star Wars has been hit or miss, but one thing that rarely disappoints is its animated series. Maul: Shadow Lord continues that trend, delivering a compelling story centered on one of the franchise's greatest villains. Rather than redeeming its antagonist or rewriting established lore, the series embraces the dark side and expands Darth Maul's incredible journey from a silent enforcer in Episode I to one of Star Wars' most fascinating characters. In this review, I share my thoughts on the show's first season, what it gets right, and why Maul remains one of the best characters in the galaxy.
