Lucasfilm Animation, the studio behind Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, The Bad Batch, and the Tales anthology series, celebrated two decades at Star Wars Celebration Japan in April 2025, where Vice President of Animation Production Athena Yvette Portillo and Lucasfilm Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni took the stage to look back and, more pointedly, look ahead. What came out of that panel was the official announcement of Maul — Shadow Lord, the next chapter in Lucasfilm Animation's long-running streak of Disney+ series. Unsurprisingly, that's not where things stop; there's more exciting animated content coming the way of fans.In a recent interview with Collider, Portillo was asked whether a second season of Maul — Shadow Lord was already in the works. Her answer revealed that there were multiple Star Wars animated projects in the pipeline aside from the highly anticipated show: "We have other things in development and in progress, not necessarily related to the show." Lucasfilm Animation has been consistent in its output, so it's no surprise that it wants to produce more content. The fans also love the films and shows they’ve produced over the years, so the support is there. Since Portillo didn’t mention the exact projects they have in store, it makes one wonder what’s in the works at the studio. Read full article on The Direct.
