First teaser for Maul: Shadow Lord

So will this be one of those shows focusing on a villain where:
- We learn they aren't actually that bad and are mostly misunderstood.
- They take a beloved badass character and emasculate him by making him non threatening and lame.
- Despite the show being named after them, they end up feeling like a side character.
- All of the above (like Book of Boba Fett)

It's animated in the Clone Wars style btw


He does have a female apprentice in this so, maybe.

Emilia Clarkes character from Solo????

I just hope it is it's own show and not full of tie-ins to other shows, especially nothing Ahsoka related (though I highly suspect this will).
 
How he wasn't a mainstay throughout the PT I'll never understand.

The coolest villain since Vader, gets about 5 minutes of screen time, and Lucas just tosses his ass down a hole.

I swear to God, the stupidity of this franchise is fucking incomprehensible.

No a female Twi'lek. Some people think that she could be Darth Talon. George Lucas wanted to see Maul and Talon together in a Story, but they didn't really exist at the same time in the old timeline. But he never really gave a shit about the expanded universe and with the new canon it doesn't really matter so I think they used Lucas idea for this show.

Didn't this guy clearly get slaughtered in The Phantom Menace, miraculously come back with spider legs, get jobbed by Sidious, come back again in a comic book, get jobbed by Sidious again, then inexplicably show up in Solo and do nothing? For fuck's sake.

That would be interesting, but without George Lucas being involved these days, it's difficult to say how well they will handle the idea.
