Star Wars: Skeleton Crew — the coming-of-age adventure that debuted on Disney+ in late 2024 — has just taken a big step toward a return. According to the latest Production Weekly Issue 1489 (Thursday, February 12, 2026), Skeleton Crew Season 2 is now listed as in development alongside other high-profile projects like The Mandalorian Season 4. This doesn’t confirm a full green-light with a public announcement from Lucasfilm or Disney+, but it’s one of the most concrete industry signals yet that Skeleton Crew could continue. Production Weekly’s listings are widely used by industry pros to track what’s entering pre-production, early development stages, or active planning — so inclusion usually reflects real movement behind the scenes. Here’s what we know — and what it might mean — for Skeleton Crew’s future. From Limited Series to a True Franchise Entry? Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premiered on Disney+ on December 2, 2024, with…
Rise of the Resistance Reopening at Disneyland After Refurbishment
After a temporary closure for refurbishments, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland is reportedly set to reopen tomorrow. And yes — that means boarding groups, First Order interrogations, and that massive Star Destroyer hangar moment are back on the table. The attraction, located inside Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort, has been closed for scheduled updates and technical work. While Disney hasn’t publicly detailed every change, refurbishments typically focus on ride system reliability, animatronic maintenance, and show element upgrades. For a ride as ambitious as this one, that’s a big deal. Why This Matters Rise of the Resistance isn’t just another theme park ride. It’s one of the most technologically complex attractions ever built by Disney Imagineering. The experience blends: When it works at full capacity, it’s arguably the most immersive Star Wars attraction ever created. What Could Be Updated? Disney rarely publishes detailed patch notes (imagine if they…

Red Dead Redemption 2 – Play as Cad Bane
Bounty hunter. Outlaw. Mercenary. Hat connoisseur. Alien guy. Now he’s riding through the American frontier. A new mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 lets you play as Cad Bane, the cold, calculating Duros gunslinger from the Star Wars universe. If you’ve ever thought Arthur Morgan needed a little more galactic menace, this is your moment. From Coruscant to the Frontier Cad Bane isn’t just another blaster-for-hire. He’s one of the most ruthless bounty hunters in Star Wars canon, known for his wide-brimmed hat, piercing red eyes, breathing tubes, and that unmistakable Western gunslinger vibe. Which makes him weirdly perfect for Red Dead Redemption 2. The aesthetic crossover works almost too well. Replace revolvers with blasters in your head and suddenly the Old West feels like it’s one hyperspace jump away from Tatooine. What the Mod Does This mod adds Cad Bane as a PED (character model) in Red Dead Redemption…
RUMOR: Star Wars & Marvel Crossover Comic Reportedly in Development
A major buzz is brewing in the comics world: a crossover comic pitting Star Wars characters against the Marvel Universe is reportedly in development. According to industry insider reporting, the project is said to be written by Mark Millar, the acclaimed creator behind Kick-Ass, Kingsman, and Wanted, among other high-profile titles. What the Rumor Claims The report suggests that the crossover — tentatively described as Star Wars vs. Avengers — will bring together iconic characters from both universes in a story that blends cosmic sci-fi and superhero action. While details about specific plot points or character rosters remain scarce, the involvement of Millar has already generated significant excitement among fans. Millar is best known for high-concept, blockbuster storytelling. His previous work has inspired major Hollywood adaptations and built a reputation for bold, audacious narratives — making him a provocative choice for such a crossover concept. Why This Matters Crossovers are…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Feb 10 Updates, Fixes, and Investigations
The dev team has shared a comprehensive status update covering current issues, fixes, and ongoing investigations in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. If you’ve run into bugs or odd behavior recently, here’s where everything stands. Andor Image Appearing Early on Webstore Episode Pass An Andor-themed image appeared on the Episode Pass earlier than planned while the Anniversary Episode Pass was still active.

Zerek Ability Modules Not Converting Zerek Ability Modules failed to convert along with other era materials. Rather than a hotfix, the devs will ensure this is properly resolved at the end of the Andor era. Players Blocked from Kleya’s Marquee Event Some players were unable to continue in Kleya’s Marquee event. This has been fixed, and affected players were granted the necessary shards to progress.

Dave Bautista Says the Original Star Wars Is One of His All-Time Favorite Movies
Actor and former professional wrestler Dave Bautista isn’t just a fan of blockbuster action — he’s also openly shared his love for one of the most influential films in cinematic history. In a recent interview detailing his five favorite movies of all time, Bautista listed Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope — the original Star Wars — as a top pick. Reflecting on why the film holds such a special place for him, he said: “It may have just been the time when I saw it, the time it was, with childhood, but everything about that film just makes me feel good. I never get tired of it.” A Fan for Life Bautista’s appreciation of A New Hope goes beyond casual interest. The movie wasn’t just a film he saw — it was a defining experience. He credits the emotional impact of seeing it at a formative time…
Kenneth Colley, Admiral Piett Actor, Left $1 Million to a Cat Sanctuary in His Will
Kenneth Colley, best known to Star Wars fans as Admiral Piett, left behind a legacy that extends far beyond the bridge of an Imperial Star Destroyer. According to reports, Colley — who portrayed Piett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi — bequeathed $1 million to a cat sanctuary in his will. A villain on screen. A hero off screen. The Face of the Empire Admiral Piett holds a unique place in Star Wars history. Introduced as a nervous officer trying to survive the unforgiving command structure of Darth Vader, Piett went on to become one of the longest-serving Imperial officers in the original trilogy. While many officers met sudden ends, Piett’s character arc stood out for his quiet determination — even if his loyalty ultimately placed him on the losing side of the Galactic Civil War. Colley’s performance gave Piett something rare among Imperial ranks: humanity….
THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU Is the Lowest-Budget Star Wars Movie Disney Has Ever Made
Disney’s newest entry in the Star Wars franchise, The Mandalorian and Grogu, has achieved something unexpected: it’s now officially the lowest-budget feature film in Star Wars history under the Disney era. According to production figures, the total production cost for The Mandalorian and Grogu landed at $166.4 million — a remarkably modest sum compared to the blockbuster budgets of previous entries in the galaxy far, far away. A Lean Approach in a Blockbuster Era To put that in context, most modern Star Wars films — especially theatrical releases under the Disney banner — have hovered well above $200 million in production costs, even before marketing. That makes The Mandalorian and Grogu’s $166.4 million figure stand out, not just within the franchise but among big-studio tentpoles in general. This leaner price tag could reflect a number of production decisions: Not a Sacrifice, Just Smart Spending Being the lowest-budget movie in the…
Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace Returned to Theaters in 3D 14 Years Ago Today
Fourteen years ago today, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace got a second life on the big screen — this time in 3D. Originally released in 1999, the film marked the beginning of the Prequel Trilogy. But in 2012, audiences were invited back to Naboo, Tatooine, and Coruscant for a theatrical re-release that brought podracers, lightsabers, and battle droids into the stereoscopic era. The First (and Only) Prequel 3D Release The 3D version of The Phantom Menace premiered in theaters on February 10, 2012, as part of a larger plan to convert all six live-action Star Wars films into 3D. That plan ultimately never reached completion, making Episode I the only saga film to receive the full theatrical 3D treatment. For fans, it was a chance to revisit iconic sequences in a new format: The added depth gave those already ambitious scenes a slightly different cinematic feel —…
Lucasfilm Clarifies The Mandalorian & Grogu Super Bowl Ad: A Playful Nod to Classic Big Game Spots
Lucasfilm has cleared up confusion surrounding the recent Super Bowl commercial for The Mandalorian & Grogu, and the explanation reveals the spot was designed as a deliberate tribute to iconic ads of the past. According to Ryan Stankevich, Lucasfilm’s marketing brand lead, the creative team intentionally leaned into a familiar Super Bowl advertising style — one that longtime viewers of the Big Game would instantly recognize. “Our creative and marketing team landed on a unique concept that gave a nod to classic Big Game spots of years past. It captured the warmth, humor, and emotional connection between these two beloved characters and was the perfect next step for our campaign as we lead up to their big screen debut this summer.” Rather than focusing on plot reveals or spectacle, the ad centered on the heart of the franchise’s most popular duo: Din Djarin and Grogu. The goal wasn’t to expand…
ANDOR Creator Tony Gilroy on How the Show Has Helped People Process Trump’s “Cosplay Fascism”
In a recent interview, Tony Gilroy, the creator and showrunner behind Andor, shared how the critically acclaimed Star Wars prequel series has become unexpectedly relevant to contemporary political conversations — especially for viewers grappling with the rise of what Gilroy described as “cosplay fascism” during the Trump era. Gilroy acknowledged that while Andor was conceived long before recent political turbulence, its themes — particularly sacrifice and resistance — have struck a chord with audiences trying to make sense of modern realities. Andor isn’t just a galactic tale of rebellion against the Empire; it’s a narrative that invites viewers to reflect on their own moral choices. As Gilroy put it: “I do hope we have some small part to play. You know, we’re one of many pieces, one of many paddles in the water… We spent like, five years thinking about sacrifice. The whole show is based on sacrifice. You’re trying…
New The Mandalorian and Grogu Teaser Debuts During the Super Bowl — Sam Elliott Narrates, Tauntauns Return
Just when you thought the Super Bowl was only about football and snack commercials, Star Wars casually rolls in with a big-screen reminder that The Mandalorian and Grogu is on the way — and yes, it brought tauntauns with it. A brand-new teaser for the upcoming film dropped during the Big Game, and while it doesn’t spill major plot secrets, it does something arguably more powerful: it sets the tone. And that tone? Classic Star Wars adventure, emotional stakes, and a bond that just won’t quit. Sam Elliott’s Voice Brings Western Energy to Star Wars The biggest surprise from the teaser isn’t a spaceship or a blaster — it’s the voice guiding the whole thing. The narration is widely attributed to Sam Elliott, whose legendary gravelly voice instantly gives the spot a frontier, almost Western feel — which honestly fits The Mandalorian vibe perfectly. Here’s the line that’s already getting…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes February Update – Andor Era Fixes & Major Imperial Touchups
The latest February update for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is less about flashy new characters and more about something players actually love: fixing broken stuff and making old units dangerous again. Between Era of Andor adjustments, long-requested bug fixes, and serious reworks for Imperial Probe Droid and Director Krennic, this patch quietly shifts parts of the meta — especially for Empire and ISB teams. Let’s break it down. 🚀 News Highlights Hunter (Mercenary) Is Now Accelerated More shards, faster farming. Always a win for roster growth. Era of Andor Continues No major system overhaul here — but this patch supports the ongoing Andor-era focus, especially with ISB synergy upgrades (more on that below 👀). 🛠️ Bugs & Fixes (AKA The “Finally” Section) This update hits a lot of lingering issues: This is one of those patches where the game just plays smoother across modes. ⚙️ CHARACTER TOUCHUPS – THE…
Rogue Squadron Screenwriter Matthew Robinson Updates Fans on Movie’s Future
The long-anticipated Star Wars: Rogue Squadron film continues to languish in uncertainty, according to comments from the movie’s screenwriter Matthew Robinson. In a recent interview, Robinson revealed that he currently has no clear direction from Lucasfilm on what will happen with the project — and that the studio’s leadership changes have added to the ambiguity surrounding its theatrical future. “Lucasfilm Is in a Pretty Big State of Flux” Robinson didn’t mince words when describing the situation. Asked about where Rogue Squadron stands, he said: “I don’t currently know what Lucasfilm wants to do with it. They’re in a pretty big state of flux at the moment, after Kathleen [Kennedy] leaving, and who knows what the future holds for them theatrically.” Those candid remarks highlight just how unsettled Lucasfilm’s movie slate has become. After the departure of longtime Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, many of the company’s planned theatrical projects — including…
SWGOH Era of Andor Overhaul: Marquee Requirements Lowered, Coliseum Reworked, and Cassian Roadmap Revealed
The Era of Andor is almost here in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and Capital Games is clearly reacting to player feedback from the 10th Anniversary cycle. This time, the focus is on less early pressure, smarter progression, and clearer goals — especially for free-to-play players. Let’s break down the big changes. Early Era Pressure Is Being Reduced One of the biggest complaints last Era was the “Crystal Crunch” — players felt forced to overspend early. So CG is adjusting: Lower Requirements for Early Marquees This slows the early rush and gives players breathing room. Smart Store Management Tier 8 Era Material bundles (EL 80–95) are being temporarily removed until they’re usable. Goal:➡️ Stop players from accidentally overspending➡️ Prevent buying materials gated behind Zerek Ability Modules That’s a rare “we’re protecting players from themselves” move.

Kleya Marki: Rebel Network Powerhouse in SWGOH
Capital Games has officially revealed Kleya Marki as a marquee character in the new Era of Andor for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. She enters the Holotables as a Rebel Fighter Attacker built around crit pressure, turn meter swings, and one of the most momentum-flipping abilities we’ve seen in this era cycle.

Dathomir Was Originally Planned as a Location in The Acolyte
One of the most interesting design revelations from The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte shows that The Acolyte almost took a major detour into one of the darkest corners of Star Wars lore. Dathomir — the infamous homeworld of the Nightsisters — was originally intended to be part of the series’ early worldbuilding plans. Specifically, Mother Aniseya’s temple was first conceived as being located on Dathomir before the creative direction shifted. Why the Change Happened According to the art book’s development insights, a key piece of feedback came from Dave Filoni. Filoni reportedly reminded showrunner Leslye Headland that not all witches in Star Wars are Nightsisters. That single clarification reframed the mythology behind the Force-sensitive coven seen in the series. Instead of tying Mother Aniseya’s group directly to established Nightsister lore, the production leaned toward a broader interpretation of Force traditions — expanding the galaxy’s spiritual diversity rather than…
Sigourney Weaver Says She “Can’t Wait to Share This Journey” in The Mandalorian and Grogu
Veteran actor Sigourney Weaver is officially embracing the galaxy far, far away. In recent remarks shared online, Weaver expressed her excitement for her role in the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu, saying she “can’t wait to share this journey with you.” Her comments were made as part of promotional conversations ahead of Star Wars Celebration and various fan events, where cast and crew continue to tease what’s in store when Mando and Grogu make the jump from streaming to the big screen. A Legendary Career Meets a Legendary Galaxy Weaver’s involvement in The Mandalorian and Grogu marks a high-profile addition to the film’s cast. Known for iconic roles in franchises like Alien, Avatar, and Ghostbusters, she brings serious genre pedigree to Star Wars. The upcoming movie — set for release on May 22, 2026 — will unite Din Djarin and Grogu in their first theatrical adventure, with Jon Favreau directing…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Kicks Off the Era of Andor
A new themed cycle has officially begun in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and this time the spotlight is on spies, rebellion cells, and the gritty side of the fight against the Empire. Welcome to the Era of Andor. Capital Games has outlined the direction for this new era, which will bring Andor-inspired characters, events, and progression tweaks into the game over the coming cycle. It’s less about flashy Force users and more about boots-on-the-ground resistance strategy. What “Era of Andor” Actually Means In SWGOH terms, an “Era” isn’t just a theme — it’s a structured content phase. That means: It’s a tonal shift from Jedi vs Sith spectacle to more grounded Rebel operations. Big Change: Marquee Requirements Just Got Easier One of the most important practical updates in the announcement is a requirement reduction that directly affects player progression. For the first three Era of Andor Marquee events, the…
Disneyland Parks Hit by Global Tourism Boycott — Galaxy’s Edge Sees Impact
Disney theme parks, long a symbol of global family travel and entertainment, are currently facing a notable decline in international visitors, and a key driver appears to be political backlash tied to U.S. policies and cultural debates. While Disney has not used the word “boycott” formally, declining attendance from overseas markets — particularly Asia and Europe — is widely being attributed to overseas travelers choosing to avoid U.S. parks for political reasons. This shift is affecting even some of the parks’ biggest draws, including Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, which was once seen as a near-guaranteed crowd-puller for international tourists. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — Still a Showcase, But Facing Changing Crowds When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, it was one of the most ambitious and immersive themed lands Disney had ever produced. Guests could interact with the Millennium Falcon, test…
Darth Plagueis Was Meant to Be the Bigger Threat in The Acolyte
A fascinating piece of behind-the-scenes insight reveals that Darth Plagueis was intended to grow into the “larger threat” in future seasons of The Acolyte. The detail comes from The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte, which explores early creative direction and long-term narrative thinking for the series. Rather than being a background name-drop or mythological reference, Plagueis was positioned as a looming presence — a figure meant to expand into something much more central over time. A Villain Introduced Like Gollum The book also notes that Plagueis’ introduction was conceptually inspired by how Gollum is introduced in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. That comparison says a lot. Gollum isn’t introduced as the main antagonist at first. Instead, he’s: Applying that model to Plagueis suggests the creative team saw him not just as Sith backstory, but as a slow-burning, long-game threat designed to unfold gradually. What…
