Overview
- Disney+ launches the series Monday with a two‑episode premiere, then drops two episodes weekly through the May 4 finale.
- Lucasfilm confirmed a second season before the premiere, signaling a multi‑season plan for Maul’s post–Clone Wars story.
- Critics who saw eight of the ten episodes report striking painterly animation, intense action, and a moodier crime vibe, with some noting the first season builds heavy setup.
- The story is set about a year after Revenge of the Sith on the planet Janix, where Maul rebuilds a criminal syndicate and targets Twi’lek Padawan Devon Izara as a potential apprentice.
- Dave Filoni created the series with a “pulpy noir” design and what the team calls their most serialized structure, and a San Francisco fan screening showcased the first two episodes ahead of launch.
