Chains can be broken. Empires can be shattered. The two-episode premiere of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord streams April 6 only on Disney+.

This show picks up right after Clone Wars when Maul has nothing, but he's used to that.

While there is some comics and other lore about Maul out there, based on films and animated shows we know,

19 BBY - Great Jedi Purge (Animated Clone Wars finale)

10 BBY - Leading Crimson Dawn (Solo film)

3 BBY - Meets Ezra Bridger (Rebels)

So we probably don't ever get to Qi'ra from Solo in this series, maybe the last season as a small but rising character.

I think probably the most fun of this series will just be Maul being a bastard. He's a crime lord killing other crime lords and inquisitors, plus he has an apprentice.

I just don't give a shit anymore. I don't even watch most of this shit, and I'm fucking sick of Star Wars. "Empire Strikes Back" is one of my favorite movies ever, but I'm so sick of Star Wars. We already know what happens to Maul. We don't need to know every detail of his childhood or whatever. IDGAF!

I mostly agree, but a lot of the recent animated star wars projects have been pretty good imo, the latest being the Bad Batch and the Tales series. It's the one corner of star wars where I'm still interested despite everything else

Rogue one is the only watchable star wars movie from Disney, and Andor is the only good star wars stuff they've made.

Okay, feel free not to post here then.
