2026 is going to be a great year for Star Wars fans, who finally get to see their favorite franchise return to the big screen next month with the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu. The film will be a direct continuation of the Star Wars series that helped launch Disney+ all the way back in 2019, and while it is confirmed to bring back Pedro Pascal as the voice of Din Djarin, it’s also set to star newcomers like Sigourney Weaver (Alien) and Jeremy Allen White (The Bear). Plot details about The Mandalorian and Grogu are still being kept under wraps, now less than one month ahead of release, but it’s guaranteed to be another classic Mandalorian adventure, sure to please fans of the hit Disney+ series. The Mandalorian and Grogu isn’t all that Star Wars fans have had so far in 2026 to keep them satiated, though.
The first Star Wars project to come out in 2026 has been Maul: Shadow Lord, the new Disney+ series that was first announced last year at Star Wars Celebration in Japan. The show brings back the legendary Sam Witwer to voice the character as he’s done countless times before, and after premiering with its first two episodes back on April 4, the show is finally set to conclude next week with its final two episodes. Good news for fans, though: Maul: Shadow Lord has been renewed for Season 2, so while it may vanish into the shadows for a while after next week, it will be back eventually. Before Maul: Shadow Lord comes to a head, though, we at Collider are thrilled to debut an exclusive sneak peek at the finale, which can be found below. In the new clip, Maul teams up with Devon, Master Eeko-Dio Daki, Brander Lawson, and his son Rylee to bring the fight to the Empire. Maul even takes down an AT-ST with only his lightsaber in one of the coolest sequences the franchise has ever seen. The sneak peek is a must-watch for fans who have enjoyed the show so far.

01
What is the Force to you? Your relationship with the Force defines everything else.

02
When you feel strong emotions — anger, grief, love — what do you do? The Jedi suppress. The Sith feed. Others choose differently.

03
The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You: How you handle authority reveals your alignment.
Advertisement
04
You are offered forbidden knowledge that could give you enormous power. The cost is crossing a moral line. You: The dark side’s pull is never more than a choice away.

05
Your approach to training and learning is: A student’s habits become a master’s character.

06
In a duel, your lightsaber fighting style reflects: Combat is the purest expression of a Force user’s philosophy.

07
A defeated enemy lies at your feet, powerless. You: Mercy — or its absence — is the truest test of alignment.

08
The Jedi Code forbids attachment. Your honest view on love and bonds: The source of the greatest falls in the galaxy.

09
Why do you use the Force at all? What’s the point? Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon.

Your Alignment Has Been Determined Your Place in the Force

Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.
You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn’t whether you have what it takes — it’s whether you’ll be patient enough to find out.

You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side’s cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.
You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.

You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don’t fully trust you. The Sith think you’re wasting your potential. They’re both partially right. But so are you.
