2025 has been a year full of ups and downs for Star Wars fans, who were treated to the highest-rated project in franchise history with Maul — Shadow Lord. The animated Disney Plus series finally takes Darth Maul (voiced by Sam Witwer) out of the shadow of the Jedi, allowing him to lead a series instead of being a complimentary figure, and the reviews speak for themselves. Unfortunately for Disney and Lucasfilm, the reviews for the first Star Wars movie in seven years also speak for themselves, and it’s clear fans weren’t ready to embrace a Mandalorian movie after three full seasons on Disney Plus. The Mandalorian and Grogu is shaping up to be the lowest-grossing Star Wars movie in history, with an even lower total gross than Solo: A Star Wars Story.
