Lucasfilm put a lot of faith in the much-awaited Star Wars animated series, Maul - Shadow Lord, and that is why they even announced a second season of the show before the first season had debuted. Their unwavering confidence in the content and story of this new saga amped up the expectations for the show. And the show did not disappoint, as it garnered much acclaim and appreciation from the viewers upon its release on Disney+.

Now, Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord has found massive success for the franchise with a perfect debut score.

 It is time for the Star Wars fans to rejoice and revel in the fact that their favorite franchise, which has been struggling for the past few years, has finally found some reprieve as Star Wars: Maul -Shadow Lord hits 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The early reviews for the show have come in hot and great, with appreciation for the approach and execution of the animated series.

The show that has a total of fifteen reviews currently has been hailed as a worthy successor to the Clone Wars story, and the way it sets up the former Dark Lord in the narrative. It was also noted in the reviews that the show takes a new approach in terms of world-building, but keeps the standard tropes of the Star Wars franchise intact that the fans love the most.

For Star Wars enthusiasts, especially those who are interested in learning more about Maul's journey from Emperor Palpatine's rejected apprentice to a crime lord at the head of Crimson Dawn, the series appears to be a must-watch. The way the story of one of the most intriguing characters of the Star Wars universe is treated in the latest show appears to be one of the unique selling points of the series.

Dave Filoni Revives George Lucas’ Long-Lost Vision for ‘Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord’

However, this incredible story of the Shadow Lord, which has already been renewed for a season 2, would not have reached its full potential without its amazing cast and crew.

Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord has an impeccable set of cast and crew. Sam Witwer plays Maul, Gideon Adlon plays Devon Izara, Wagner Moura plays Brander Lawson, Richard Ayoade plays Two-Boots, Chris Diamantopoulos plays Master Eeko-Dio-Daki, Charlie Bushnell plays Rylee Lawson, Vanessa Marshall plays Rook Kast, David C. Collins plays Spybot, A.J. LoCascio plays Marrok, and Steve Blum plays Icarus. 

Dave Filoni and Matt Michnovetz are the creators of the series, with Brad Rau as the director in charge. Filoni, Michnovetz, Athena Yvette Portillo, Rau, Carrie Beck, and Josh Rimes are the executive producers. The collective efforts of all these people are probably the very reason the show has secured its first perfect Rotten Tomatoes score right upon debuting.
