Sam Witwer<\/a> returning to voice the iconic villain.<\/p>\n\n\tThe news of the series, titled \u201cMaul \u2014 Shadow Lord,\u201d was announced at this year\u2019s Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo on Friday with Witwer on hand. He has previously voiced Maul several times, including in animated series \u201cStar Wars: The Clone Wars\u201d and \u201cStar Wars Rebels\u201d as well as in the 2018 film \u201cSolo: A Star Wars Story.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tLucasfilm CCO Dave Filoni and VP of animation Athena Portillo revealed a surprise sneak peek at the show during a panel spotlighting 20 years of Lucasfilm Animation. The final shot of a video celebrating the anniversary appeared to be from the new Maul series, making the crowd go wild.<\/p>\n
\n\tDuring a panel after the announcement, Portillo said fans can expect to learn \u201ca lot\u201d about Maul in the series. \u201cUnfortunately I can\u2019t tell you too much, but what I can say is Sam Witwer\u2019s involvement in the show has been pristine,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m very excited about him being able to review the scripts and provide input in all of that as well. Dave Filoni and Sam created the character for animation, and so it\u2019s very important to hear his thoughts as well for the character depth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tWitwer revealed that the series takes place \u201cabout a year\u201d after the Clone Wars, so he\u2019s \u201cdusting himself off a bit\u201d after Ahsoka \u201ckicked him to the curb.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe learn some different things about this character,\u201d Witwer continued. \u201cHe\u2019s got some different traits that you wouldn\u2019t necessarily think he has that make perfect sense from what he\u2019s been through.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
