Star Wars officially announces Maul: Shadow Lord

Star Wars fans rejoice, we're finally getting that Darth Maul series we've all been waiting for.

Announced during the Star Wars Celebration over in Japan, Maul: Shadow Lord is a brand-new animated series coming to Disney Plus.

No real details on the show at the time of writing beyond a snazzy logo, but I'd assume Shadow Lord will follow the Sith's journey from getting chopped in half by Obi-Wan to establishing himself as a major crime boss.

Maul: Shadow Lord will hit Disney Plus in 2026, so we've a bit of a wait.

Still, it's safe to say fans are hyped. More than a little hyped, in fact.

"I feel the force in this Chilis tonight," one fan writes on Twitter.

Another adds: "YESSSS THANK YOU DISNEY!! THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED!!!"

"THANK YOU STAR WARS YOU HAVE NEVER LET ME DOWN," a third enthuses.

Elsewhere during the Star Wars celebration (GAMINGbible is in attendance!) we spoke with Pedro Pascal about The Mandalorian And Grogu, saw a teaser for a brand-new movie starring Ryan Gosling, and picked up a really weird looking Jar Jar Binks doll.

That last one isn't really news, but it's nice to share.
