Star Wars

Disney released the “final trailer” for The Mandalorian and Grogu ahead of its May 22nd debut in theaters. It looks fun! And Grogu is still so dang cute.

Now that Andor has come to end, series creator Tony Gilroy is free to speak more openly about what it was like working for Disney, and in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter he says that the studio was very insistent on him not using the word “fascism” while talking about his show focused on fighting fascism.

The latest trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu really highlights how very, very young Grogu still is for one of Yoda’s species, which makes it seem that much more absurd that Din Djarin still hasn’t found his son a helmet to protect that (presumably) soft head.

While the new trailer for Disney Plus’ Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord series doesn’t at all make the Sith Lord look like a heroic figure, it does suggest that meeting his new apprentice is going to reveal new things about his character when the show premieres on April 6th.

Ahead of debuting a trailer for its new Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord animated series tomorrow, Disney Plus has shared a short (and inky) teaser that makes it seem like the Sith Lord’s lightsaber is going to be seeing plenty of action.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer, which is launching in 2026, looks like the Star Wars Episode I: Racer successor I’ve always wanted. While it seems to focus more on various Star Wars vehicles than just podracers, the trailer includes a brief shot of Sebulba and the iconic sound of his podracer. I know my main already.

We’re still waiting for news about the remake of the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, but as part of a huge report digging into court filings about why KOTOR II for Switch never got its Restored Content DLC, Game File found mentions of a KOTOR II remake in development as recently as March.

This interview goes wildly off the rails, starting just before this anecdote:

We reported yesterday that a pretty extraordinary selection of movie props went up for auction, from Indiana Jones’ whip to Michael Keaton’s Batsuit. The biggie is Darth Vader’s lightsaber, estimated to sell for $1 million to $3 million, a price that all but guarantees it’ll go to someone truly deserving.

Bambu now sells electronics to drop into your creations — remember my floating light bulb and TARDIS? This time, I’m using the $135 “Motion-Activated Sound and Light Props Kit” with Joel He’s double-bladed saber files, but you can design anything you like. Should I try a Zelda Master Sword next?

It’s apparently already time to start thinking about more than just your Halloween decor. Hallmark’s 2025 lineup of Keepsake collectibles includes a $99.99 Star Wars ornament recreating the scene aboard the Millennium Falcon where R2-D2 and Chewbacca play a game of Dejarik.

2027 will mark the 50th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope’s debut, and to celebrate the occasion, Lucasfilm is putting the movie back in theaters beginning May 4th of that year — just a couple of weeks before Star Wars: Starfighter’s premiere.

Oh, I had such high hopes for the Piaggio G1T4-M1N1 (“Gita Mini”). An officially licensed Star Wars bot that follows you around, dodging pedestrians while carrying 20 pounds of cargo and playing The Imperial March on its party speaker? Heck yes. But a single walk to the park showed me that this $2,875 bot doesn’t have enough smarts. (I couldn’t fit all its fails into one video!)

That’s according to The Telegraph film critic Robbie Collin, who also said, “It felt less like watching a blockbuster in the modern sense than the greatest game of dressing up in the desert anyone ever played.”

It kicks off at 2PM ET tomorrow.

Alongside a shiny rebrand and airline integration, Google is expanding the range of trackers in its Find Hub network. But not with boring practicalities like better battery or more accurate tracking — no, we get Baby Yoda, thanks to a new set of Disney-themed tags from Pixbee.

Some Star Wars fans build their own lightsabers, but YouTuber Maker Mac70 instead devoted a significant amount of time recreating the Millennium Falcon’s Holochess table. Built using six small LCD screens and a special plate from a Japanese company called ASKA3D that creates a floating holographic effect, the table features a single-player version of the game because of a limited viewing angle.

...if you link your Epic Games account to your MyDisney account, according to a blog post. It’s a “first step” ahead of the planned “universe” Disney and Epic are building together that’s tied to Fortnite. You’ll also be able to catch two episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld in Fortnite starting May 2nd, which is two days before the show debuts on Disney Plus.

The studio will “step away” from “two early-stage incubation projects” and is making “targeted team adjustments” across its Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi teams. That translates to layoffs, though it’s unclear how many people are affected, per an IGN report.

Star Wars prequel memes are undefeated.

Hayden Christensen will return to Ahsoka as Anakin Skywalker and rebel commander Admiral Ackbar will go “head-to-head” with Grand Admiral Thrawn, series creator Dave Filoni told the audience at Star Wars Celebration in Japan last night.

It’s been a while since Darth Maul last appeared Star Wars Rebels, but during this year’s Star Wars Celebration, Luscasfilm announced that the horned Sith is set to star in a new animated Disney Plus series due out in 2026.

Star Wars: Beyond Victory - A Mixed Reality Playset is a new podracing-focused experience for Meta’s Quest headsets that will be shown at Star Wars Celebration 2025.

Available for preorder today for $59.99 and shipping on May 1st, 2025, Lego has announced a 700-piece buildable version of the iconic Star Wars logo created by graphic designer Suzy Rice.

If you’re headed to Star Wars Celebration in Japan later this month, Audio-Technica has announced a pricey souvenir for you, as spotted by Notebookcheck. Unlike its Star Wars-themed wireless earbuds, only 10 of these ATH-AWSW DV headphones, featuring wooden ear cups adorned with images of Darth Vader made using traditional Japanese crafting techniques, will be available.
