Get ready for a thrilling adventure as Disney+ prepares to debut the highly anticipated 'Darth Maul: Shadow Lord' series on April 6th, 2026! This animated spin-off series, based on the iconic Sith Lord, promises to take fans on a journey through the Star Wars universe. But here's where it gets controversial... The series is set after Maul's arc in 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' and before his appearance in 'Star Wars: Rebels', which might leave some fans questioning its placement in the timeline. And this is the part most people miss... With 10 episodes, the series explores Maul's plot to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire, where he encounters a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who may be the apprentice he needs for his quest for revenge. Created by Dave Filoni, a George Lucas supplicant and co-creator of 'The Clone Wars', 'Shadow Lord' is set to be a defining work of his tenure, focusing on stories that play in the pre-existing Star Wars sandbox. So, are you ready to dive into the world of 'Darth Maul: Shadow Lord'? Let us know in the comments if you're excited or have any thoughts on the series' controversial placement in the Star Wars timeline!
