Sam Witwer He returned to Darth Maul’s voice, and if you thought Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord He could soften the edges of the Assassin Sith, think again. In a recent apparition on Katee SackhoffPodcast of S, the actor has made fun of a deeper look at what to expect from the next animated series, and it seems that we are in a morally bleak and brutal ride.
“These are worst bad guys. It will not be a show in which you discover that Maul is a real teddy bear, friend … we are not doing it. But is it bad as Sidious or Vader? In reality no.
“From the Sith point of view, this guy has defects … [there’s] The humanity that filters in various points because of things that have happened to him. “
Set in the year following the clone wars (about 19 Bby), Maul – Lord Shadow It resumes after the fall of the Jedi and the rise of the Empire. According to the official synopsis of Lucasfilm, the show follows Maul while trying to reconstruct his criminal empire on a remote planet not touched by imperial control.
But this is not just a saga of crime, it is also a reckoning. Witwer makes fun of that Maul’s growing discomfort with the new galactic order plays a key role in history:
“Maul will wonder if the creation of the Empire was a good idea. [Maul’s] like, ‘that’s what [Sidious] Do you have in mind? This is a bit frightening.
“Maul comes from a time of swords, witchcraft, magic and knights, and now all that color of the universe is sucked into this mechanized empire. And is Maul like” is it right? Is this the universe we were trying to build? “”
This does not make him a hero, but gives him a point of view. Fans feared that this series would try a complete refund arc that can rest easily. This is still Maul himself we learned about The ghost threat, The clone warsAND Rebel. It is dangerous, cunning and full of anger, but stratified with the scars of betrayal and loss.
Maul’s journey through the Star Wars Canon was interesting. It started as an almost silent charge in The ghost threatIt was cut halfway by Obi-Wan, then Angier re-emerged and equipped with metal legs The clone wars.
Built a criminal union, tangled with the Mandalorians and even returned Only: a Star Wars story as a leader of Crimson Dawn.
While the live follow-ups of the franchise a Alone have been demolished, Shadow Lord It seems ready to fill that void, offering a darker corner of the galaxy to be explored, and with Witwer behind the microphone, you can expect the internal storm of the character to arrive strong and clear.
This is not a history of redemption. It is a struggle for power in the shadows and Maul is right in the middle.
