Get ready to embrace the criminal underworld with new character posters for Dryden Vos and Crimson Dawn from Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord.
With the first season now complete and the Empire and Crimson Dawn joining the fight, Lucasfilm has released another new character poster from Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. The sensational new animated series delivered a sensational two-part season finale this week, with Maul dueling with Marrok and the Eleventh Brother, as well as a legitimate icon of the saga.
What’s more, Devon’s journey towards the dark side heated up, and Master Eeko-Dio-Daki faced off against the dreaded duo of Inquisitors dispatched by the Emperor. But perhaps the most compelling return (aside from the obvious) was the sensational return of Dryden Vos and Crimson Dawn. So it comes as no surprise that the latest poster drop is dedicated to the criminal mastermind and his servants.
Like the previous releases, the glorious one-sheets feature the eye-catching red-and-black skin-toned background of the legendary former Sith. Featuring Vos, who sadly isn’t voiced by Paul Bettany on this occasion, flanked by two members of his crime syndicate, the poster is a glorious link to the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story. But before we dig into the characters, scroll down and get your first look below.
DRYDEN VOS AND CRIMSON DAWN

REVIEWS
We were lucky enough to have an early look at the series and had a blast with its darker tone, brutal action, and gripping storyline. In his FIVE-STAR review, Thomas Storai said:
“Maul – Shadow Lord offers a captivating exploration of Maul as a criminal while also introducing and following compelling new characters. Fast-paced and action-packed, it’s a thrilling ride that actually feels like a film.” Read his review here.
And in my FOUR-STAR review, I said:
“Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is a phenomenal deep-dive into Maul’s quest to regain his criminal empire. It’s an intense slice of Star Wars brilliance. Maul has never been so intense. With its breathtaking, crisp animation, a dark, intense soundtrack, and a sumptuous character study, the series is a rare gem that will delight fans everywhere. As always, Sam Witwer embodies this character and delivers a wonderfully weighted, layered performance that adds new dimensions to our beloved former Sith. In the end, with its cast of fresh characters, wonderfully rendered animation, intense storyline, and eye-wateringly violent action, this first season is a treasure trove of Force-fuelled brilliance.” Read my full review here.
