Maul – Shadow Lord, the latest 'Star Wars' series from Lucasfilm Animation, is finally here. As a bridge of sorts between The Clone Wars and Rebels that runs in parallel to The Bad Batch, the show tells the story of the fallen Sith Lord as he navigates the underworld and tries to make a name for himself in the shadow of the Empire.
Ahead of the show's Disney+ debut, we had the chance to chat with Star Wars veteran Sam Witwer (Darth Maul) and newcomer Gideon Adlon (Devon Izara) about the creative team behind the project, the villain's shocking psychology, the challenges (and opportunities) that come with Star Wars, and even George Lucas' original vision for the central characters and the larger galaxy.
