Maul - Shadow Lord Trailer

Lucasfilm

The first full trailer for Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord has arrived and it looks very dark. The latest animated series in the Star Wars Universe follows that unkillable rogue, Maul, as he seeks revenge on the Empire who betrayed him.

Here's the official synopsis from Lucasfilm: 

Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord presents fans with a pulpy adventure that finds Maul plotting to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire. There, he crosses paths with a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who may just be the apprentice he is seeking to aid him in his relentless pursuit for revenge.

The cast includes Sam Witwer as Maul, Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara, Wagner Moura as Brander Lawson, Richard Ayoade as Two-Boots, Dennis Haysbert as Master Eeko-Dio Daki, Chris Diamantopoulos as Looti Vario, Charlie Bushnell as Rylee Lawson, Vanessa Marshall as Rook Kast, David W. Collins as Spybot, A.J. LoCascio as Marrok, and Steve Blum as Icarus.

The first two episodes of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord will arrive on DisneyPlus on April 6th. Two new episodes will debut each Monday, leading up to the finale on Star Wars Day, May the 4th.

Golden - KPop Demon Hunters

Sony

"Golden", a song from the animated movie KPop Demon Hunters, won the Oscar for Best Original Song last night. It's such a fun, upbeat song. I haven't watched the movie yet, which also won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, but the kiddo is definitely a fan.

KPop Demon Hunters is available on Netflix.

Millennium Falcon Power Up

LEGO/Lucasfilm

The new SMART Play bricks from LEGO sound like a lot of fun. They light up, emit sounds, and contain motion sensors for things like lightsaber battles. I can't wait to try them out! Here's a fun animated Star Wars short showing how they work.

Go The Distance - Disney Ambient: Rain

Disney

The Disney Ambient: Rain album is surprisingly calming. The songs played on piano over the sound of gently falling rain is quite lovely. This song is "Go the Distance" from Hercules. 

Five additional songs are available on the Disney Music Vevo channel on YouTube.
