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.
No doubt thats what they are gonna do (though maybe more of a "you are the daughter I never had" route.
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?
It looks good and on point. Looking forward to this.
The animation and style is fantastic looking. And of course everyone's favourite Birdman inquisitor and that poor guy from Ahsoka. Sam does an amazing Maul voice.
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.
