This week on Reforming Nerdom, we dive into the first four episodes of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord and ask whether Disney may finally be getting Star Wars back on track. We break down the show’s darker tone, gangster-style underworld story, stunning animation, Sam Witwer’s performance, and why Maul has become one of the most compelling characters in the franchise. We also explore how the series fits into the wider Star Wars lore, why Dave Filoni’s involvement matters, and what this show reveals about Disney’s recent direction. Along the way, we also discuss Disney’s latest layoffs, AI’s growing impact on the creative world, and what it means for artists, storytelling, and the future of entertainment.
