The upcoming James Mangold directed Star Wars flick Dawn of the Jedi is set incredibly far in the past, and it's all to avoid being bogged down by lore.
]]>The Bear's Jeremy Allen White has joined the Star Wars universe, as he's set to appear in The Mandalorian & Grogu… as Jabba the Hutt's son.
]]>Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the franchise's latest Disney+ show, had its two-episode premiere earlier this week, and so far, it's gone over well with most critics and fans. It's also a return to uncomplicated, swashbuckling Star Wars adventures full of puppets and cool costumes and all that jazz which gives the galaxy more colour and texture.
]]>If you were holding out hope for a Denis Villeneuve-directed, absolutely miserable Star Wars installment, you might want to sit down, as he hasn't really enjoyed the series since 1983's Return of the Jedi.
]]>Thought you were going to watch Star Wars Skeleton Crew on Disney Plus this coming December 3? Think again, as the house of mouse has bumped up the premiere date.
]]>Sorry if you're still grieving after 2019's Star Wars - Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (which I personally didn't hate), but it's time go back for another round. Marvel Comics has just announced the comic book adaptation of the last Star Wars movie is coming out more than five years after it opened in theaters.
]]>Star Wars: Visions is back for another round of anime one-shots, as season 3 (or rather Volume 3) is coming next year.
]]>Lucasfilm sounds like it's still struggling to figure out the film side of Star Wars, as one report claims Rey will be coming back in a big way.
]]>We're drowning in Star Wars things that're in the works right now, and here's another one to add to the bacta tank. A new trilogy that Lucasfilm has reportedly agreed a deal for Simon Kinberg - known for his work on several X-Men movies - to write and produce.
]]>As Skeleton Crew's marketing campaign ramps up and promises a return to pure, old-school swashbuckling adventures in live-action Star Wars, we're starting to learn more about the creatives' experiences making the show and how they first connected with the long-running franchise.
]]>Whether you enjoyed or hated the Star Wars sequels, you gotta admit Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) was a pretty great villain, in part thanks to Adam Driver's nuanced performance throughout the three movies. Many fans had been asking for more stories centered around him, and now Lucasfilm and Marvel Comics are answering with an ongoing series written by Charles Soule.
]]>UPDATE (25/10/24, 11:00 AM BST): Uh oh, disappointing updates on both movies dropped shortly after this report was published.
]]>Most of us Star Wars fans are still cleaning up Outlaws' secondary activities and taking lots of pictures ahead of the Lando-centric DLC coming soon, but we shouldn't forget that another trip into the galaxy far, far away's underworld is right around the corner. Skeleton Crew is now ramping up the marketing ahead of its early December debut on Disney Plus, and it genuinely sounds like a ton of simple fun.
]]>Donald Glover, the actor behind young Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story, is hoping he can put some "fun" back into the sci-fi series.
]]>Obi-Wan Kenobi, an okay show that was carried by Ewan McGregor's strong lead performance, was meant to be a limited Disney Plus series. To this day, Lucasfilm still hasn't announced plans to do more, but that isn't stopping both McGregor and Hayden Christensen from campaigning to return to a galaxy far, far away.
]]>Those of you hoping to get the second season of Ahsoka any time soon might want to squash those hopes a touch.
]]>Despite getting cancelled, Manny Jacinto has said one his biggest goals before he dies would be to make The Acolyte season 2.
]]>The Acolyte was revealed to be cancelled on August 19, only weeks after its season 1 run ended on Disney Plus. While it worked well enough with critics, a sizable portion of the Star Wars fandom outright rejected it, citing plenty of s**t reasons and a few other complaints that were actually reasonable. Now, the show's (double) star, Amandla Stenberg, is finally speaking about the cancellation.
]]>The Mandalorian & Grogu might not have a great name, but with Sigourney Weaver joining the cast, at least you're more likely to be in for a good time.
]]>Star Wars: The Acolyte took a good while to get truly going, but it ended up being a fresh new take on Jedi vs. Sith lore that we want to see more of. Now, Disney and Lucasfilm are starting to promote Skeleton Crew, a return to the New Republic era (The Mandalorian-adjacent) of the Star Wars galaxy, but this adventure will be a far more lighthearted affair.
]]>With Deadpool & Wolverine now rolling out in theaters worldwide and many Marvel fans revisiting the two characters' past solo adventures, it makes sense that we'd hear something from Logan director James Mangold, who tried to wrap up Hugh Jackman's run as Wolverine back in 2017 at 20th Century Fox. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't have kind words for cinematic universes, yet almost half his big-screen career is IP work.
]]>Spoilers ahead for The Acolyte.
]]>In spite of its shortcomings, we've been largely enjoying The Acolyte. For the most part, it's a fascinating look into an entirely new era of the Star Wars galaxy and a re-evaluation of who the Jedi are and where their downfall came from. Now, just one week ahead of the season one finale, creator and showrunner Leslye Headland is opening up about where the story might go next.
]]>The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland has denied episode 6's unknown oceanic planet is Ahch-To (from The Last Jedi). That said, it might have deeper Star Wars Legends ties.
]]>The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland has compared the show's big bad to Elden Ring in an amusing and pretty relatable way.
]]>There's still not too many details out there for Andor season 2, but it appears that Ben Mendelsohn will be reprising his villainous role from Star Wars: Rogue One.
]]>Wait, didn't General Grievous perish in Revenge of the Sith? Are they bringing another dead villain back? No, don't worry. It's just that he's a key part of the Nightsisters' fall, and Star Wars: Tales of the Empire will be exploring that event as the most crucial one in Morgan Elsbeth's life.
]]>Daisy Ridley is set to return as Rey in an upcoming solo outing for the Star Wars character, but she apparently didn't sign up right away.
]]>Desperate to recreate that one seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi where Luke Skywalker absolutely chugs some blue milk? You'll soon be able to!
]]>The first trailer for the highly anticipated Star Wars Disney+ series The Acolyte is finally here, and there's plenty to chew on.
]]>Star Wars fans know that Lucasfilm is a bit of a trigger-happy company when it comes to movies. The number of unmade theatrical releases increases every year. Patty Jenkins' Star Wars: Rogue Squadron became one of those in late 2022, as the director had her sights set on other movies first. But surprise, surprise! It turns out that Rogue Squadron isn't entirely dead yet.
]]>No, it wasn't just the audiences and actors who were kept in the dark about the larger plans for Star Wars at first. John Williams also had no idea there would be a second movie and wasn't stopped by George Lucas when he wrote Luke and Leia's theme in A New Hope as a love theme.
]]>Like Star Wars: Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith or not, it's perhaps the boldest episode of the Skywalker Saga, a tragedy of epic proportions with some surprising swings, such as the slaughter of a bunch of kids at the hands of the protagonist, Anakin Skywalker. Now, actor Hayden Christensen has elaborated on how that went down behind the scenes.
]]>Donald Glover is one of the busiest artists in Hollywood at the moment, yet he's finding time to work on a Lando Calrissian-led Star Wars movie born from the scrapped Disney+ series announced ages ago.
]]>Another week, another new tease about the upcoming Rey-centric Star Wars movie from star Daisy Ridley, and her excitement is reaching new levels.
]]>True Detective: Night Country lead actress Jodie Foster has revealed she was offered the Princess Leia role in the original Star Wars movie back in the '70s. Her accepting the part could've substantially changed the course of the beloved story.
]]>Daisy Ridley, the actor who plays Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, has touched on her upcoming solo film focused on the character.
]]>Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have briefly discussed what went wrong with their Star Wars project, but facts don't line up.
]]>I don't think it's a particularly revolutionary statement to say that homeworks sucks, it's an opinion that pretty much everyone seven and up has because we all just find it a bit pointless and would rather spend our evenings watching movies and eating chicken nuggets. I'm what they call an "adult" now, so I don't have to do homework anymore, unless you count taxes as such. The problem is though, with big IP-focused franchises taking up most of the big and little screens, homework is seeping into the media we watch, and it's getting a bit boring. And now, The Mandalorian & Grogu, just announced this week, is the latest film you'll have to study for to even remotely fully appreciate it.
]]>Star Wars will soon be making its way back to the silver screen, as a movie all about The Mandalorian and Grogu was announced yesterday.
]]>Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, of Ms. Marvel fame, is about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime with a Star Wars movie focusing on Rey Skywalker, set as the character tries to rebuild the Jedi Order after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. However, it sounds like she's just ignored several female directors who came before her.
]]>Having the filmmaker behind the John Wick movies tackle Blade and Star Wars sounds amazing, but we have our doubts about those projects ever happening.
]]>Disney has confirmed its release schedule for titles arriving next year, and with Andor nowhere to be seen, it seems like the series has been pushed out of 2024.
]]>Acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro recently shared the simple, but still painful, reasons as to why his Jabba the Hutt Star Wars movie never happened.
]]>Xbox and LucasFilm have teamed up to offer you a chance to win a Mandalorin-inspired Xbox Series console and accessories.
]]>It's May 4th! You know what that means – we all have to fall into the horrific trap set by the world's biggest media megacorp and embrace it as Star Wars Day, 'cos May the 4th be with you and all that. And people say Valentines Day is a corporate trick...!
]]>If you thought Fortnite was already all over the place, just you wait: it looks like Epic could be eyeing an expansion into wider media, extending its already comprehensive grip on the media world.
]]>Star Wars Hunters is coming to Nintendo Switch this year.
]]>Disney has announced that all future Star Wars games will be grouped together under one collective banner, Lucasfilm Games.
]]>Star Wars: Rogue Squadron will not be an adaptation of the video game titles of the same name, director Patty Jenkins has confirmed.
]]>EA and EA Motive have revealed a new trailer for Star Wars: Squadrons, showing off a cat-and-mouse dogfight between the New Republic and an Imperial pilot.
]]>Iconic MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic is now available to download and play for free on Steam.
]]>Star Wars Battlefront, the original 2004 version, received an update today that added online multiplayer support.
]]>Lucasfilm has come out in support of EA's decision to temporarily remove microtransactions from Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
]]>LucasArts wasn't allowed to make Star Wars games when it opened, nor to spend any of parent Lucasfilm's money on making games, former staff revealed in a GDC session this week.
]]>Disney-owned LucasFilm has suddenly made a pile of new domain registrations which see to have a Star Wars theme. Although it's quite possible they're related to upcoming movies, TV shows and other media, the timing - so close on the heels of a deal with EA - is pretty suspicious. File this under "interesting, if uninformative" and visit Fusible to pick through the new domains.
]]>Yesterday, industry whispers indicated that Star Wars 1313 had been nudged onto the backburner by Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm. Apparently this isn't the case after all, according to a representative from LucasArts .
]]>Disney has announced it lost $216 million for the fiscal year ending September 29, compared to $308 million year-over-year. The firm reported less loss due to a renewed focus on mobile titles in lieu of console releases. The firm noted most gaming revenue was derived from Gardens of Time, Temple Run: Brave and Where's My Water. Disney said games created via its new IP, LucasFilms, would be in the social and mobile space, and any console titles released would come from third-parties developing through use of the license. The only console title Disney has in development is Epic Mickey 2, and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion for handhelds. Thanks, Gamasutra.
]]>Disney has acquired Lucasfilm for the hefty sum of $4.05 billion, according to multiple sources.
]]>A couple of new Lucasfilm domain registrations inked to recent activity at developer Lucasarts have been confirmed as nothing to do with a game in development.
