The newest Star Wars series is already taking the galaxy by storm.
The new Star Wars comic, Maul — Shadow Lord, has received perfect scores on Rotten Tomatoes and has already been renewed for a second season by Disney. The story picks up a year after the Clone Wars, following Darth Maul as he secretly builds a criminal empire under the rule of the Galactic Empire.
Critics are loving the new Star Wars series, Maul — Shadow Lord! Rotten Tomatoes reports it’s earned a perfect 100% score based on the first 14 reviews, just after the first two episodes premiered on Disney+. While the score could change as more reviews come in, it’s a fantastic start for the show.
Why Maul — Shadow Lord Is A Critical Success
Fans are calling Maul – Shadow Lord one of the best animated Star Wars shows in years, and many are comparing it favorably to The Clone Wars from 2008. A lot of the positive feedback focuses on the show’s distinctive animation style, which combines 3D characters with 2D backgrounds.
The show is strengthened by several interesting new characters. These include Devon Izara, a Twi’lek who might become Maul’s apprentice, and Brander Lawson, a detective working on the planet Janix with his droid companion, Two-Boots. Both characters become part of Maul’s storyline and add depth by interacting with him and his schemes in compelling ways.
The series isn’t perfect, and some viewers feel it starts a little slow. Once it gets going, though, it offers compelling and complex stories that really deepen our understanding of Maul. While all the characters are interesting, the focus on Maul’s point of view is what makes the series truly captivating.
Considering the enthusiastic early reactions, it’s no wonder Disney+ renewed Maul – Shadow Lord for a second season before the first one even finished airing. Critics consistently praise the series itself, even if they have some reservations about how it connects to the broader Star Wars story. It’s clear the show has made a strong impact, and its success is only growing.
Maul – Shadow Lord Begins A New Chapter For Star Wars
With Maul — Shadow Lord, the Star Wars universe enters a new phase, both on Disney+ and across all platforms. It’s the first animated series since The Bad Batch (which concluded in 2024) to be designed with multiple seasons. Plus, it’s the first big Star Wars release of 2026, setting the stage for several important events to come.
Fans can look forward to a big year for Star Wars, starting with The Mandalorian and Grogu hitting theaters – the first Star Wars movie in seven years. Later this year, season two of Ahsoka will continue the story of a beloved character from The Clone Wars in a live-action series. Maul – Shadow Lord is just the beginning of what’s planned.
The new series Maul — Shadow Lord has launched to rave reviews, earning a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. This suggests it has strong potential for continued success on Disney+. However, with new episodes released every Monday, it’s still uncertain whether the positive critical reception will attract a large viewership.
