A new trailer for Maul – Shadow Lord has dropped, teasing even more exciting action in the animated Star Wars spin-off.
However, detective Brander Lawson is hot on his heels, and wants to put a stop to Maul's criminal activities before they attract the attention of the Empire. "Our target is a syndicate leader. He is associated with several criminal organizations. And proficient with a laser sword," Brander says as the trailer opens.
"We’ve kind of never done a full-on, for lack of a better word, cops-and-robbers kind of Star Wars," the show's animation supervisor Keith Kellogg said recently.
The voiceover then switches to Maul as he tries to convince Devon to become his new apprentice. "The Empire tried to kill me. Their betrayal demands consequence," he says. "And that consequence requires a weapon. Together, we can destroy the Empire… Let us have our revenge."
Then, we get a taste of some pretty impressive lightsaber duels and fight scenes as Maul and Devon take on an army of Storm Troopers. "We're not gonna take out the whole Empire," Devon says, to which Maul just laughs.
Sam Witwer leads the show's voice cast as Maul, alongside Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara, Wagner Moura as Brander Lawson, and Richard Ayoade as the droid Two-Boots.
