LOS ANGELES -- It's the finale of an epic "Star Wars" animated series and Disney celebrated in a big way!

To celebrate the final two episodes of "Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord," the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank transformed into a fan-filled showcase of the series' bold animation and high-stakes storytelling.

Cast members and devoted viewers gathered together, sharing the thrill of experiencing the finale as one.

Sam Witwer, who's played the character of Maul for over a decade, reflected on the enduring influence of the franchise's creator, George Lucas.

"George created an extraordinary film making legacy and Lucasfilm animation and Lucasfilm as a whole has become kind of a film school under George, but all these people started under George, he told On The Red Carpet.



"Every department head worked under George. I guess I worked under George through Dave but also it's kind of fun to see where this has all gone.

Newcomer Gideon Adlon, who plays Jedi apprentice Devon Izara, didn't hold back her excitement about joining the galaxy far, far away.

"The team nailed it, the writers, the director, the artists, everybody, Dave, Sam are incredible and I just feel lucky that I got to be a part of something that's making fans finally like jump for joy and like a connection they've been missing in the Star Wars world," she said.

Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni was also in attendance and was happy to be surrounded by fans.

"It's always the best when you get a whole group of fans together to watch something like this, there's great energy," he said.



"I think it's great for the team who made the series, all the talent involved."

All episodes of "Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord" are streaming now on Disney+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+ and this ABC station.
