New 'Star Wars' series makes Darth Maul's story accessible for longtime fans and newcomers
""This character is going through a time of reassessment and self-discovery and kind of, for the first time, reaching out to other people, trying to have relationships. But how do you do that when the person that taught you everything you know is the Emperor, who is the most evil character in all of 'Star Wars' history.""
""Have you seen 'The Godfather?' It's kind of the same thing where it's, like, it's a crime family but you're kind of, like, understanding a little bit about what the Corleones, like, Michael Corleone's doing and find a little bit of empathy.""
""I think this is one of the best shows we've ever made, in part, not only the hard work we put into it, but because the narrative and the characters and the style and the chapter titles and the music, they all really go well together.""
""We wanted to create a roller coaster ride for new viewers who know nothing about 'Star Wars' and also veteran die-hard 'Star Wars' fans to be able to jump in and fall into this rabbit hole with all these twists and turns.""
'Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord' is a 10-episode animated series focusing on Darth Maul's journey of self-discovery and rebuilding his criminal empire after Order 66. The series is designed for both new viewers and veteran fans, allowing anyone to engage with the story. Sam Witwer voices Maul, who is depicted as reassessing his life and relationships, influenced by his dark mentor, the Emperor. The tone of the series is likened to 'The Godfather,' emphasizing empathy within a crime family context.
