50 DAYS UNTIL MAUL: SHADOW LORD ! ! !

POV: You thought he died in The Phantom Menace

I've been so enamored watching Maul utterly waste these guys that I failed to appreciate that there's an entire transport crashing in the background 😂

Hey Darth Maul fandom, can you guys remember if Maul ever said "Our actions serve a greater purpose"? Boxlunch dropped a new sweatshirt, probably for the upcoming show, since one of the patches reads "Shadow Lord." It features the "greater purpose" quote but I can't remember Maul ever saying this.

I'm re-reading Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter and I just got to the part where Sidious takes little six-year-old Maul to the Jedi Temple disguised as tourists 😂😂😂

Icarus following Maul around, utterly unaware of Greek mythology

More Shadow Lord merchandise slowly rolling in.....!!! 👀

Hot Topic: *casually adds a few Maul-themed hair accessories for preorder* me: IS THIS SHADOW LORD MERCHANDISE???? 😍

Wait a second why does his Funko Pop have yellow eyes instead of red? 🤔

What We Know About the New Nightbrother: -His name is Icarus, a mythological figure who is famously fine and nothing bad happens to him ever -He's voiced by Steve Blum -He's a precious angel who must be protected at all costs

I realized that part of why I'm so excited for Maul: Shadow Lord is that no matter how bad things get for him, at least Maul can't die until Rebels But then I had the second realization that dying and getting revived in his own show would be the most on-brand thing he could do 😅

My kingdom for the full context of this scene, why does my boy look so pressed

I really love this one bit from the Maul: Shadow Lord trailer where Devon jumps on this one transport MID-FLIGHT and starts tearing into it, almost like some sort of bird of prey... you know, like a predator bird... with talons..........

The first issue of Darth Maul: Black, White and Red has a character look at Maul and say, "You know all too well that the line between pleasure and pain is a thin one." What do MEAN Maul "understands the thin line between pleasure and pain" what do you MEAN

My trade paperback edition of Darth Maul: Black, White and Red finally arrived!!! 😍

Sam Witwer talking about how the art direction of the show is supposed to reflect "how Maul sees the world" makes me go hmmmmmmmmmm What do you MEAN Maul sees the world in PAINT?

I love that the "Maul is tall actually" agenda is alive and well

When you've watched the Maul: Shadow Lord trailer enough times that you become obsessed with this one background person with a parasol

Maul: Shadow Lord coming April 6th

AHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH www.youtube.com/watch?v=oonA...

Waiting for the trailer like

They put both of Maul's deaths back to back in the teaser, I'm FINE

I hope they lean into this with the art direction of the series. And from what I've seen from still images, they might? There's a painterly quality to the art style--again, I have FEELINGS about this. Maul is a painter (alluded to in Rebels, canon in Legends) so maybe this is how he sees the world

I have a lot of feelings about how the teaser uses ink blots and paint, with his own face eventually emerging from the Rorschach. I love this as an aesthetic choice (I hope they lean into it with the animation of the series) but also for the symbolism of it. We're finally getting into Maul's head.

*HEAVY BREATHING*

DAY 278 of waiting for the Maul: Shadow Lord trailer!!! ....wait what???? www.youtube.com/watch?v=g360...

Do you ever think about that time Kanan fully pushed Maul out of an elevator

But with the blast shield down, he can't even see!!!! How is he supposed to seek revenge??? 🥺

HAPPY TWENTY-TWENTY-SITH 😈❤️

YESSSSSSS, NEW MAUL COMIC COMING IN MARCH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! 🥳🎉😈❤️ Apparently it's a prequel to Maul: Shadow Lord, and I'm HYPED. I'm so ready to feast on Maul content in 2026. (Also, that second cover got me LOOKING. Who is Maul projecting himself onto now? 😂)

Day 229

Day 194 of waiting for the Maul: Shadow Lord trailer

I desperately need Disney to release the Maul: Shadow Lord trailer but I also need the general Star Wars fandom to keeping talking about The Hunt for Ben Solo

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY, MAULKILLER! 🥳❤️

Bob Iger: I don't see how Ben Solo could be alive Dave Filoni: I mean... Darth Maul though Bob: Can't hear you, I'm driving through a tunnel! Dave: .....we're literally standing in your office Bob, crawling under his desk: GOING THROUGH A TUNNEL

Maul in Ben Solo's DMs like

Take me back to January 2012 where Star Wars bent itself over backwards to explain the resurrection of Darth Maul. People forget that he wasn't suddenly brought back out of nowhere; there were novels and short stories released prior to The Clone Wars specifically to prime audiences for his return.

Reylos: Marie-Claire how do we convince Disney to greenlight this movie Marie-Claire:

Iger: But Ben Solo died me, a Darth Maul fan: That has literally not mattered even once

Thinking about that one time in the Darth Plagueis novel when teenaged Maul said, "Yeah I could probably beat the entire Jedi Council in a fight" and Sidious' response was, "Go stand in the corner."

WHO OUTBID ME???

Ray Park's on-screen lightsaber prop is up for auction and in unrelated news, I would very much appreciate it if someone would give me $40,000

Disney is trying to recreate the Meet Joe Black/The Phantom Menace phenomenon by making me buy extra tickets to F4 just to see the Avatar trailer again

Part of being out of the fandom game for the last fives years means that I've literally never heard of Tom Bateman until today, but the first thing I did was google his height 😂

If I had a NICKEL for every sad boy with heavy face tattoos and glowing yellow eyes-

Maul really said, "I've only had Eogan for five minutes but if anything ever happened to him, I'd kill everyone in this room"

I'm re-reading Maul: Lockdown (not my favorite Maul story but I really wanted a refresher on his relationship with Eogan Truax) and this line hit me like a punch to the gut Context: He's getting the crap beat out of him and it suddenly occurs to him that he's going to die in the next five seconds

I wonder if we could get a scene like this in Maul: Shadow Lord, between Maul and his apprentice. Admittedly, "So, how'd that happen anyway?" is a bit of an indelicate question, but I'd still like to hear Maul answer it. I'm curious how he would tell his own story.
