New Maul – Shadow Lord episodes hint at how Maul assumed Crimson Dawn leadership, tease a Dryden Vos audience, and set up a potential Darth Vader clash, with Season 1 ending May 4 and a renewal for Season 2.
Chapters 7–8 are packed with Easter eggs and callbacks: the Eleventh Brother arrives to assist in the hunt, Two-Boots reveals his 2B0T designation and moves through an Andor‑style rebellion arc, and there are nods to Solo’s Crimson Dawn with Dryden Vos. Visuals and dialogue echo The Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars as Maul confronts trauma—from Palpatine’s laugh to Savage Opress’s murder—while foreshadowing a larger plan against the Empire and a possible Palpatine confrontation. The two‑part finale premieres May 4 on Disney+.
The upcoming game "Star Wars Outlaws" will feature the return of Qi'ra, a fan-favorite character from "Solo: A Star Wars Story," as part of the Crimson Dawn criminal organization. The game's trailer showcases a new character navigating the criminal underworld and interacting with familiar figures such as Jabba the Hutt. The inclusion of Qi'ra has sparked speculation about the potential appearance of Darth Maul in the game as well. Despite mixed reactions to the trailer's visuals, the game's storyline has piqued interest, and it is set for release in August.
