The nominations for the 53rd Annual Saturn Awards are out, and Star Wars is very much in the spotlight.

Between Andor, Skeleton Crew, and Tales of the Underworld, the franchise picked up multiple nominations across major television categories — plus recognition for actors and Industrial Light & Magic in the film awards.

Here’s how the galaxy far, far away is showing up.

Andor Dominates the TV Nominations

Andor leads the Star Wars pack with recognition in top-tier categories, reinforcing its status as one of the franchise’s most critically respected series.

Nominations include:

• Best Science Fiction Television Series – Andor
• Best Actor in a Television Series – Diego Luna
• Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series – Stellan Skarsgård
• Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series – Denise Gough
• Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series – Genevieve O’Reilly

That’s a strong showing for a series that leaned into political tension, grounded storytelling, and character-driven drama rather than traditional space fantasy spectacle.
