I liked the part where he blocked lasers with his sword.
Way cool.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
First teaser for Maul: Shadow Lord
- Thread starter cormack12
- Start date
No doubt thats what they are gonna do (though maybe more of a "you are the daughter I never had" route.The self insertion of the female fantasy of tuning a bad boy good?
and when she does that she looses interest because he's no longer a bad boy.
Which is fine for a dramatic character arc, but for DARTH MAUL? I can see Vader finally caving but damn if all it takes to swing Sith Lords back to the light side is a little TLC and a hug.....come on, really?

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).
One of the few good things about Solo and funny enough she wasn't my type until I saw her in that movie lol

At least this time we have a half-understanding why.

Wow, this may be the best looking animated show I've ever seen. That animation is phenomenal

When it comes to Star Wars this year, I haven't been this excited when it came to the animated stuff before Disney bought the IP. I'm very happy with the way this show looks and I hope this turns out great

Between the smart idea of "retcon"ing his TPM death, and his effective use in TCW, I think Maul has blossomed into one of the best characters in Star Wars. He just perseveres. He never quits. He always rises up. It's a drive you can't help but respect. I love the premise of this series and I'm excited to see his clashes with the empire.

I think this looks awesome. I think Maul grew into one of the more compelling characters in Star Wars. He never quits.

It's crazy how this looks 15x more interesting than Andor.

I'd rather keep this as a memory.
So as not to spoil what a memory I have of such a well-developed character.

So I watched the first ep. Fairly solid police/crime drama. The CG is pretty good, they have really evolved in detail and less of that "wooden puppet" look it once had. But the animation is pretty stiff and hasn't kept up in parts. Pretty gritty, lots of death, so it's more along the lines of Bad Batch than Rebels in tone, if not even more mature.

He's one of my favorite characters. In fact, most of my favorites are Sith. I'm more drawn to the dark side.

I can't wait to see Episode 3 and 4 this coming sunday. The first two episodes were amazing and looked fantastic too

Sam Witwer is so good as Maul, I've always admired his passion for the franchise. Nice to see the positive reception so far!
Seems like this and Andor have been the only Star Wars related content worth watching this last decade... which is crazy.

Ahhh. You're a man lover.
There is 0.00 testosterone in any aspect of Andor. It is pure estrogen.

Underrated post. Andor is Antifa in Space.

The animation looks quite better from the Clone Wars show days. Will watch it later today.

I just finished watching it, it's a great show. Straight to the point, its DARK, definitely not kiddy stuff, even though the art style and they made Maul way more badass than in the movie. I never watched Clone Wars mainly because of the chibi animation so I cant compare Maul's story but here its really good.

Maul always felt like a character with a ton of wasted potential ever since The Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. If this show finally gives him more screen time and some proper character development, that's honestly something a lot of fans have been waiting for.

I gotta say, and I hate to say it, but:
I think Star Wars works best with animation. Just stop live action movies.

It's an easy way to continue some of the stories, for sure.

He wants revenge on Palpatine for ruining his life and dropping him for other prospects.
I feel like it is hard to really show with very much because their ultimate goal is kinda nebulous. Is it a perfect dictatorship where everyone knows their place and role, kind of a lawful evil situation? Or is it just chaotic evil, barely a step above anarchy? We see that the Jedi can lead to stagnation, corruption, and decay at a macro level, so who is to say that the Sith wouldn't be a better alternative? I feel like the entire anti-Sith movement is based purely on Palpatines personal grievances and xenophobic views, but he doesn't necessarily represent all Sith, there are good people on both sides

Wait until Dizzy gets a hold of and ultimately screws up the coolest Sith ever....
