The latest episodes of the animated series Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord included a visual callback to the video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, featuring Darth Maul using a dual-wielding reverse-grip lightsaber stance.
Darth Maul splits his double-bladed lightsaber into two separate hilts and holds the blades backward in a reverse-grip stance, mirroring Starkiller's combat style from The Force Unleashed II. The series also features voice actor Sam Witwer, who originally voiced Starkiller and currently voices Maul, alongside David W. Collins voicing a new droid character after previously voicing Proxy in the 2008-2010 games.
Viewers watching Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord on Disney+ can spot direct references to classic LucasArts video games through character combat animations and voice actor reunions.
