B-

This latest retread doesn’t meaningfully expand on the Star Wars mythos or take it to new places, but it is a largely well-executed genre romp that’s elevated by Lucasfilm Animation’s honed aesthetic chops.

3/4

It’s a well-made entry, better than some of the live-action films. Plus it’s always a good time when you can watch Stormtroppers and their devious ilk get their butts kicked.

4/5

Though not quite essential, Maul: Shadow Lord is a compelling and at times thrilling chapter in the villain’s ever-evolving story.

This series, set directly after the Clone Wars, deftly presents another Star Wars underworld.

I was skeptical about Maul—Shadow Lord. But it turns out, this is the kind of show that won’t disappoint even the most embittered fan.

Maul: Shadow Lord has beautiful animation and incredible action scenes. I’m fascinated by the new characters. They’re great additions to the universe and have a ton of personality. The voice acting is fantastic.

Dear Disney, you are on right path. Stick to it and don’t go off it. Still a lot of work to do, but you made the first steps to get the fans back, with stuff like this. Well done Dave.

A show for noone. Bad, uncanny animation. Characters compelling to noone. Storyline as uncaptivating as an animated wallpaper. Should have kept mr Maul in 2 pieces.

Who woulda thought my fav SW character, who’s claim to fame was aura farming and 2 lines of dialogue, not only would get their own show but that the show they did end up getting would be so fucking peak. What a time to be alive
