  • Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord stars Sam Witwer as the voice of Maul, reprising his role from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. Witwer also voiced the character during his brief appearance at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story.
  • Additional voice cast members include Stephen Stanton as Marg Krim, Wagner Moura as Brander Lawson, Chris Diamantopoulos as Looti Vario, Steve Blum as Icarus, Dennis Haysbert as Master Eeko-Dio Daki, Richard Ayoade as Two-Boots, Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara, Charlie Bushnell as Rylee Lawson, Vanessa Marshall as Rook Kast, A.J. LoCascio as Marrok, and David W. Collins as Spybot.

  • Just eight minutes prior to the release of the trailer, the official Star Wars social media feeds issued this cryptic post, with a voice warning us that "something sinister is coming."
  • Fans have recognized the voice as that of Sam Witwer himself, and some have even theorized that it could be another one of his famous Star Wars characters: namely Galen Marek, AKA Starkiller from the Legends video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Or it could just be Witwer talking in his normal voice? I suppose we'll find out soon enough...
