Maul is a fan favorite villain that even though we know his fate, there is still plenty of room to explore the character. He is the main focus in the upcoming animated series Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord.
The events take place roughly a year after the Clone Wars. It finds Maul trying to rebuild his criminal enterprises on a planet far from the scrutiny of the Empire.
