What's happening:
- As revealed on the official Star Wars social media feeds, the trailer for Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord is set to debut online tomorrow-- Thursday, January 22. It seems likely that this trailer may also bring with it a release date for the Disney+ series.
- The accompanying teaser video has some interesting new imagery promoting the series, in addition to the familiar choir of "Duel of the Fates" by John Williams. You can watch it below.
