At The Game Awards, Best received the Impact Award for South of Midnight, the video game he directed.

What often gets lost in that conversation is the toll that backlash took on Best personally — something he has spoken about openly in recent years. That context makes this award matter.

Harrison Ford on Han Solo as a Force Ghost: “I Have No F*ing Idea — And I Don’t Care”**
Few actors embrace their chaotic relationship with Star Wars quite like Harrison Ford. Whether he’s joking about wanting Han Solo killed off in 1983 or pretending not to know who “the kid with the light-up sword” is, Ford has always been delightfully Ford about the galaxy far, far away. So when fans began debating whether Han Solo’s appearance in The Rise of Skywalker was meant to be a Force ghost, Ford offered the most Harrison Ford possible response: “I have no f*ing idea what a Force ghost is. And I don’t care.”** And honestly? It’s perfect. The world of Star Wars loves its deep lore—Force ghosts, dyads, wills of the Force, ancient prophecies—but Ford has never been the kind of actor to obsess over metaphysics. His return in the final film wasn’t about canon mechanics. It was about giving closure to the complicated relationship between Han and his son, Ben…

Ahsoka Season 2 Will Pick Up Immediately After Season 1 — No Time Jump, No Delay, All Momentum
If you’ve been wondering whether Ahsoka Season 2 would leap ahead in time — surprise! It won’t.According to Star Wars Insider #235, the second season will pick up exactly where Season 1 left off, meaning no skipped months, years, or off-screen developments. And honestly? That might be the best thing that could’ve happened for this series. Because Season 1 didn’t end quietly. It ended with: If Lucasfilm had jumped ahead, we would’ve missed far too much. Why No Time Jump Is a Big Deal for Star Wars Star Wars loves a good time jump — it’s practically tradition. But Ahsoka isn’t playing by the usual rules, and keeping Season 2’s timeline continuous has some huge storytelling advantages: 1. Zero Lost Emotion Season 1 left Ahsoka, Sabine, and Ezra in wildly different emotional states.Picking up immediately means we get to actually feel the fallout: Skipping forward would’ve robbed those moments of…
Genevieve O’Reilly’s Mon Mothma Named One of the Best TV Performances of 2025 by Vulture

It handed its sharpest political blade to Mon Mothma — and Genevieve O’Reilly carved out one of the best character arcs in modern Star Wars. She begins the season composed, elegant,…
Elizabeth Dulau Named One of 2025’s Breakout Performers for Her Role as Kleya in Andor Season 2
Andor has never been a show that wastes a second of screen time, a line of dialogue, or—most importantly—a performance. So it feels more than fitting that IndieWire has officially named Elizabeth Dulau one of the breakout film and television performers of 2025 for her staggering work as Kleya Marki in Andor Season 2. If you thought Kleya was just Luthen’s shop assistant back in Season 1, Season 2 made it abundantly clear: she’s one of the rebellion’s sharpest minds, coldest operators, and most quietly devastating emotional centers. And Dulau delivers all of it with a level of control that borders on magic. A Handler, a Spy, a Strategist — and a Show-Stealer IndieWire summed it up perfectly: “It’s enough of an ask for an actor to be the force that keeps Stellan Skarsgård in line. Elizabeth Dulau did that job admirably in Andor Season 1.” Let’s pause there, because…

Diego Luna Becomes the First Star Wars Actor Nominated for a Golden Globe Since Sir Alec Guinness
Every so often, Star Wars makes history in a way that doesn’t involve box-office records, new shows, or surprise cameos. Today, it’s something far rarer — and honestly, long overdue. Diego Luna has become the first actor since Sir Alec Guinness in 1977 to receive a Golden Globe nomination for a performance in a Star Wars project. Yes.It has been that long.
