Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord Reviews

Season 2 is no longer a want… it is now a need. Maul top 3 character in Star Wars and it isn’t even debatable, It’s a fact.

Every animated project from Star Wars seems to up the bar for quality . Can’t wait for season 2

My only problem with the show is that Marrok and the Crow are big antagonists in it, even though Ahsoka no diffed both of them in like 10 seconds, including beating the Crow without even having a weapon. I find it hard to believe that Ahsoka is that far ahead of Maul

Rated: 9/10 ⭐️

I queued this up for Star Wars Day expecting a simple spin-off, but the gritty depth totally blew me away.

What Worked:
Rau’s blocking and the painted shadows give the set a tactile weight. Through my Methodist faith lens, Daki holding to his principles reminds me that true light means doing what’s right despite the darkness. The Kiner score and Witwer’s voice work also give the quest a super dynamic flow.

The Cuts:
The middle really dragged for me; police red tape stalls the momentum. Keeping it spoiler-free, the final confrontation feels rushed, leaving the stakes of the big sacrifice half-baked. Plus, the droid repeatedly debating makes the subplot feel one-dimensional.

Verdict:
A stunning dive into a tragic villain. A must-watch for darker stories, but skip if you want lighthearted adventures.

Line: “You must adapt to the new state of the galaxy.”

Great fight scenes, great ending, great series overall. Whoever made the creative decision to make Maul have a stacked vocabulary list is a genius. I learnt so many new words.

Maul is one of the best dark side characters in Star War and I’m glad we’re blessed with this show. It’s extremely well done from the colors, to the story, to the soundscape, to the characters, and more! If you’re like Star Wars in any capacity, you need to see this!

This was the best thing Disney has done with Starwars!! They really made Maul look like the true shadow lord!! It had some of the best light saber battles and the last three episodes were amazing! They made classic characters look legendary and unrelenting

Absolute peak 😆❤️

I enjoyed all the characters 😌 special heart to the little chaos incarnate frisbee droid 🫶

Oh but stop nerfing my boy with those leg shots!!

It was alright
Definitely overrated in my opinion

SEASON 2 WHERE U AT 👀🔥🔥🔥

6/10 - As a standalone season, this show is very bland and is nothing we haven't seen before. Basic, run of the mill Faloni Star Wars. But as a setup to what looks to be a much better and more interesting Season 2, it did a really good job and setting up the story that is to come

10/10. Loved this so much!

PEAK

Peak Star Wars.

THIS is what Star Wars should have been from 2015, it's perfect, everything, the animation, the story, the coloring, just makes you feel Star Wars again
Plus, Devon, finally, a GOOD written Disney woman character

This show is good but not great it has amazing animation and great fights but that’s as far as it goes the characters and story don’t stick with you and after sitting on it..yeah it was okay 9.7/10

Formerly Darth, now just Maul

aura of maul is too peak

I'm sorry but everything is just amazing, the voice acting the animating like what more can a woman want

What a show! This is cinema!
Filoni & co. are firing on all cylinders & have crafted a masterpiece!
The animation, cinematography, score, performances, action—everything is like you've never seen it from Lucasfilm Animation.

What a wonderful, beautiful, jaw-dropping show!
