Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

You can't keep a good Sith down. Darth Maul is returning to our screens once again, this time for his own headline Star Wars show on Disney Plus. The animated project, known as Maul - Shadow Lord, features the villain training a new apprentice, and early signs point to a certain Twi'lek George Lucas planned to include in his sequel trilogy being introduced.

A short tease shown at Celebration indicates Maul’s second will be a Twi'lek, hinting at the possibility of Talon.
