Star Wars Reveals First Still From Maul – Shadow Lord and First Look at Ezra Bridger From Ahsoka Season 2 | SDCC 2025

Lucasfilm has released two first-look Star Wars images: one for Maul - Shadow Lord, and another for Ahsoka Season 2.

In a post on StarWars.com, Lucasfilm revealed the first still from Maul - Shadow Lord, below. Announced at Star Wars Celebration Japan in April, Maul - Shadow Lord is a brand-new Disney+ series featuring fan-favorite villain Darth Maul. It sees Sam Witwer reprise his role as Darth Maul from Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. (Witwer's voice was also featured in the closing scene of Solo: A Star Wars Story.) The new series is set after the final season of The Clone Wars and will see Maul "plotting to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire." Expect it out at some point in 2026.

Meanwhile, the second image shows Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger in a new costume from Season 2 of Ahsoka, which is currently in production.

Also revealed at Star Wars Celebration, Hayden Christensen will return as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2 of Ahsoka. For more, check out why Ahsoka delivers such a powerful testament to Anakin Skywalker's legacy, and the first look at Rory McCann as Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka Season 2.

It's a busy time for the world of Star Wars. Star Wars: Visions Season 3 launches in October, with Jon Favreau's The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie set for May 22, 2026. Star Wars: Starfighter has a May 28, 2027 release date.
