House of the Dragon gets a lot of stick for using the same theme tune and motifs as Game of Thrones – but we'd argue that when certain tracks are that iconic, what's the point of trying to shake things up?
With that, we're all in on the latest clip from Maul – Shadow Lord, as it proves that Star Wars music doesn't get better than Phantom Menace highlight, 'Duel of the Fates'.
In the footage, which you can watch below, a planet's local security can be seen trying to catch up to an "unidentified shuttle". As a fancy-looking, medium-sized ship lowers itself onto the rooftop of a tall building, a bunch of crooks from another vessel starts ferrying "credits" over to its hatch.

Within seconds, the law enforcement officers are on 'em, and start blasting from their own ships. "It's over, drop your weapons," they shout as they surround them at ground-level. "I said, 'drop 'em'!"
"I guess we should do as he says," the helmet-wearing ringleader says sarcastically, as we see Maul's boots stomp down from the bigger ship's hold – and John Williams ' orchestral banger kicks in.
The red-faced Sith then deflects the cops' blasts with his lightsaber and even manages to take a few of them out with the ricochets as he walks into the middle of the shoot-out. He then takes a huge leap and swings his lightsaber as a terrified guard gasps and the screen cuts to black. Epic stuff.
Set after the Clone Wars, as the titular villain tries to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet called Janix, Maul – Shadow Lord premieres on April 6.
