New Maul – Shadow Lord Clip and Character Poster Set Up April 6 Disney+ Launch

Filoni says the noir, underworld series honors George Lucas’ original Maul concepts.

  • Star Wars introduced Twi’lek Padawan Devon Izara in a character poster, positioning the new Jedi as a key figure in the story.
  • The 10-episode season premieres on Disney+ April 6 with two episodes and continues in weekly two-episode drops through May 4.
  • Dave Filoni frames the series as a way to bring Lucas’ unused Maul ideas to light, leaning into a villain-led, underworld noir set after The Clone Wars.
