Darth Maul Was Reportedly Cut From Obi-Wan Kenobi TV Show
Darth Maul won't appear in Obi-Wan Kenobi, as the Star Wars villain was cut from the Disney+ TV show. Lucasfilm is finally gearing up for the release of the highly-anticipated next Star Wars show, which sees Ewan McGregor return as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The six-episode series is directed by The Mandalorian's Deborah Chow and will begin streaming on Disney+ at the end of May 2022. After making fans wait for years to see McGregor's Obi-Wan again, the veil of secrecy surrounding the Jedi's TV show started to lift recently as the marketing campaign began, including the release of the first Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer.
The teaser trailer arrived in conjunction with first-look photos and interviews that all helped give Star Wars fans a better understanding of what the show includes. Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 10 years after Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith and will see Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker a.k.a. Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) fight once more. The start of the marketing campaign also confirmed the inclusion of other villains known as Inquisitors. These Jedi hunters are known by Star Wars fans thanks to other canon materials, but this will mark their live-action debuts. Many have also continued to wonder if the show's villains could include the return of Kenobi's long-time foe, Darth Maul.
