Lucasfilm Annimation 20th Anniversary Video, Darth Maul Series Announced

Turns out this year Lucasfilm Animation is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The video was part of Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo where they also announced "Maul - Shadow Lord" which is a new animated series from the division that first was started for The Clone Wars movie. The series is set about a year after The Clone Wars series as Maul recovers from his fight with Ahsoka.

Previous Lucasfilm Animation head and now CCO Dave Filoni said “Unfortunately I can’t tell you too much, but what I can say is Sam Witwer’s involvement in the show has been pristine. I’m very excited about him being able to review the scripts and provide input in all of that as well. Dave Filoni and Sam created the character for animation, and so it’s very important to hear his thoughts as well for the character depth. We learn some different things about this character. He’s got some different traits that you wouldn’t necessarily think he has that make perfect sense from what he’s been through.”
