Star Wars drops a fresh animated series called Mall, Shadow Lord on Disney Plus starting this Monday, April 6th. It puts the ex-Siff Lord front and center as he rebuilds his criminal empire after losing it in the Clone Wars era. The ten episode run dives into his scheme to lure a young Jedi padawan named Devon Izara to the dark side, turning her into his apprentice for Revenge. Set right between Revenge of the Sith and a new hope, the show rolls out two episodes weekly after the premiere. That means the final pair hits on May 4th, Star Wars Day. Lucasfilm already renewed it for a second season, so expect more Mall mischief down the line. Fans recognize Sam Whitworth voicing Mall, bringing back his gritty take from Clone Wars, Rebels, and Solo over the past 15 years. Newcomer Gideon Adlon voices the reflective, twy-lek padawan Devon, who's been dodging the empire with
