When Does Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord Take Place?

Official materials place Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord a few years after Order 66, early in the Empire’s reign.

That timing moves the series well past The Clone Wars and closer to the era of The Bad Batch.

The setup follows Maul rebuilding his criminal syndicate while plotting revenge against the Empire and Darth Sidious.

The placement also helps explain how the show fits into broader Star Wars canon, including the rise of the Inquisitors and links to Rebels.
