Maul: Shadow Lord season finale now streaming on Disney+

tvMay 4, 2026801,436

Disney+ released the two-episode Season 1 finale of Maul: Shadow Lord, episodes 9 "Chapter 9: Strange Allies" and 10 "Chapter 10: The Dark Lord," culminating in a lightsaber showdown that pits Darth Maul directly against Darth Vader. Reviewers praised the finale's cinematic, action-packed climax and choreography-heavy fight sequences that draw on wushu-style moves first seen in The Phantom Menace. The episodes pack numerous Easter eggs and callbacks to other Star Wars stories, including nods to The Force Unleashed and Rogue One, while resolving several character arcs and leaving others in peril. The finale deepens Darth Maul's tragic trajectory, showcases feature-quality CG animation from Lucasfilm Animation, and sets clear narrative hooks for a potential second season.

If you're not watching Maul: Shadow Lord, I recommend it. It seems a bit strange but if you're looking for a slightly more "grown up" Star Wars and liked Andor, Maul: Shadow Lord and the last season of The Bad Batch are probably the two things I would point people towards.

It may be May the Fourth in some places buts it’s already the Revenge of the Fifth in Aus. Here’s a piece inspired by Maul: Shadow Lord.

To be clear, Clone Wars and The Last Jedi would prob be higher if I just ranked them on how much I love their best parts alone, but they also have some real low lows that pull them down. And yes, I like the Acolyte that much, fight me.

Glad to see skeleton crew that high up. However, for all its flaws, I can't help but love phantom menace- my only real disagreement here

people really have been unduly kind to Revenge of the Sith😅

I misread your post and thought it was best to worst for a moment, lol.

David, perpetually confused2

I read "worst to best" the wrong way around and was _incredibly_ confused starting to read that list.

I somehow missed that this was worst to best and thought you were trolling for a second

Me, an EU fan: Which Tales of the Jedi? 😭

ALCA, Goddess of Lust 💜2

is the old clone wars being lumped in with the 3D version?

Andor is basically perfect, imo.

Did I just miss it or did you forget the Ewok Adventure? (That was the English title, right?) Yeah, it's silly, but to me that was one of the best. 🙈

The Maul: Shadow Lord finale is here and it is INCREDIBLE! Well paced action, great character decision moments and Maul did some things that truly shocked me. Check out my full review and breakdown: youtu.be/ZK_ucCVHubg?...

‘MAUL - SHADOW LORD’ used various martial art forms & ‘The Phantom Menace’ as inspiration for the action sequences. “We break down styles based on earthbound forms of martial arts… [for Maul] we went back to the original wushu kung-fu from ‘The Phantom Menace’”

Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord maintains its high quality in the final two chapters of Season 1, as a surprising and very welcome new villain enters the stage. Our full review: https://bit.ly/4dslPmP

Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord Season 1 Finale Review

Score: 9 (Amazing)

Verdict:
Maul: Shadow Lord’s formula is the same, but the stakes continue to be raised, and the major deaths take full advantage of the bond viewers have formed with the show's supporting cast.

I know this will surprise no one, but Maul: Shadow Lord is really good. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

It's so good it's difficult to acknowledge Maul came from the very divisive #ThePhantomMenace.

TheMovieCriticDude 2

Me too! It truly is The Clone Wars all grown up since it all started back in 2008 maturing with its audience too as the years go by.😎👍

13th Jedi

@13thjedi.bsky.social

Damn. No new Ahsoka trailer, and no trailer for the new Jedi game. At least we got 2 amazing episodes of Maul Shadow Lord! The action sequences in those two episodes were intense! Really can’t wait for season 2

Blast Points

@blastpoints.bsky.social

Finished chapters 9 and 10 of Maul Shadow Lord and this show is a work of art. Lucasfilm Animation and everyone involved hit this one of the park on every level. What a finale and the wait for season 2 is going to be excruciating. Bravo.

After watching #MaulShadowLord, at least one thing is certain… Devon Izara has becoming an instantly iconic Star Wars character that will be beloved by generations of fans to come. 🙌

Your description of the great Dennis Haysbert in this manner is FOUL.

AFTER you've watched episodes 9 & 10 of Maul – Shadow Lord read all about Devon's journey from Gideon Adlon. She did such an amazing job with one of my favorite new Star Wars characters. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...
