Are you ready to embrace the Dark Side? We are just a few days away from the release of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord on Disney+, and the Force is building. The long-awaited Clone Wars/Rebels/ Bad Batch spin-off series premieres with a two-episode launch on April 6th. But eager to ensure we are all suitably excited (like we need it!), the studio has released the first character posters from the series.
The glorious one-sheets feature the eye-catching red-and-black skin-toned background of the legendary former Sith. First up, we have Maul himself, poised in his traditional fighting stance, and rounding out the first duo is Jedi apprentice Devon Izara. But before we dig into the characters, scroll down and get your first look below.
