Maison also speculates that Paul Bettany is expected to come back to voice Dryden Vos, the main on-screen antagonist for much of Solo, in this animated series. Nor do we know what caused him to go from a boss in the criminal underworld in that appearance in Solo to a hermit on Malachor in season two of Rebels.Įither section of Maul’s life would make for an interesting story, but Maison reports that it’s the former of those two that will be covered. We don’t know what happened between the time we saw him escape from Ahsoka Tano and Rex in the series finale of The Clone Wars and his cameo at the end of Solo when it was revealed he was the leader of Crimson Dawn. There are two large gaps in Maul’s story currently that are ripe with potential for a Star Wars show. Presumably, the show would focus on Maul’s time running the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate and how he fared in the criminal underworld. One source specifically told Maison that the show would take place after the events of The Clone Wars but before Maul’s brief appearance at the end of the Solo: A Star Wars Story film. Now, he states he has heard from a pair of independent sources that the recordings are for a separate show focused on Maul, not for a second season of The Bad Batch or anything else. While Maison admits he does not have any story details or any specific timelines for the show right now, he reports that sources have told him that voice recordings have been underway with Star Wars voice actors such as Dee Bradley Baker (voice of various Clone Troopers in animated Star Wars shows), Matt Lanter (voice of Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars), and Sam Witwer (voice of Darth Maul in The Clone Wars and Rebels).
