Darth Maul (or just Maul for everything that happened after the "phantom threat" events) is one of the most interesting characters in the Starwell War Universe. Originally one and a villain who was insufficiently used in episode I, George Lucas eventually returned to the animated Clone War seriesexpressed by Sam Witver. It has completely changed the character's legacy, and now, he gets his own series in the form of Maul - Shadow Lord, which was announced during this year's celebration of "Starwells War". Although much remains mysterious about the show, Witver has strongly hinted at a key issue to address the show.

Talking to IGN At the celebration of "Starwells War", Witver discussed the show, due to arrive at Disney+ next year. Striker for "Maul - Lord Shadow" pointed out that the play will be presented by villain TalonBut for the most part, the conspiracy details are kept under the sheaths. During a conversation with Ign, the actor revealed that he had always had some questions that remain unanswered for the character, including a very crucial, obvious question of which the "war on the Starwells" has yet to answer.

"I've always had a lot of questions about this character. Why Maul has never given up on palpatin? I think, you have a show where we are. Throw on the phone, to throw on the phone, to throw on the phone, to throw on the phone, to attack EDDI and darken, however.

This is, indeed, a hell of a good question. Maul was under the lesson of palpatin before Tran-Van shortened to half at the end of the "phantom threat". Palpatine was pretty left for dead, just for Maul to make his triumphant return in season 3 of the Clone Wars. Until Witver's point, why didn't Maul reveal the true identity of Palpatine?

The official description of Lucasfilm of "Shadow Lord" states that "Maul conspiracy to rebuild his criminal union on planet intact of the empire", adding that he "re -raises underground fractions" After the events of Season 7 of the Clone Warsthat breaks right against the events of "Revenge of Sit". So it will be in that rich era between the "Starwells War" trilogy and the original trilogy.

Speaking further in the same interview, he further interrogated Maul's motives during the clone wars before Palpatine took control of the galaxy with Darth Weder on his part. After all the bad things Palpatin did, why didn't he turn Maul? The list of laundry for reasons Maul could have used to make such a decision, as Witver points out, is a pretty collapse.

"The only moment when you finally decide, okay, I'll turn on Palpatin," is that end before the world ends. Order 66 and end the clones. Him.

"I say too much," Weaver concluded. "Saying too much." Lucasfilm's chief executive Dave Philoni is not a big fan of actors who pour secrets before the time is fine. Whitver stops at the end of that line of thinking is pretty telling.

As the widower mentions, The death of a savage patch alone He could give Maul enough reason to include Palpatine. We certainly know that (spoilers) Maul dies in "Starwells War" in rematch with Obi-VanThus, its fate is sealed. This play can fill some of the latest key gaps in Maul's story, showing us how he came to head to the Crime Zora Crime Union we see in Solo. And maybe, maybe, maybe why he never turned on Palpatine.

"Starwell War: Maul - The Lord of Shadow" is set at the premiere of Disney+ in 2026.
