Big news for Star Wars fans: Legendary voice actor Jim Cummings recently confirmed that Hondo Ohnaka, the loveable pirate-rogue from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, is officially “not done yet.” That’s right—Hondo’s next adventure is brewing. Hondo’s Return: What We Know Cummings dropped the teaser during a promo event for Andreas Deja: 30 Years of Disney Villains, telling fans to “stay tuned.” His wink—not subtle in the least—suggests Hondo may soon resurface, possibly in the upcoming animated sequel Maul: Shadow Lord. Given Hondo’s dynamic history with Maul in The Clone Wars, the pairing would be dramaturgically delicious. Where Might Hondo Land Next? 1. Maul: Shadow Lord (Animated) This upcoming Disney+ series (2026) follows Darth Maul’s criminal empire-building post-Clone Wars. It’s the most natural fit for Hondo—after all, he’s tangled with Maul before and always lands back in shady—but hilarious—circumstances. 2. A Standalone Hondo Animated Special Lucasfilm could go flashier and…

LEGO Star Wars Battles Soft-Launched Six Years Ago—And It’s Still a Wild Ride of Bricks and Strategy
Can you believe it’s been six years since LEGO Star Wars Battles quietly dropped into soft-launch back in September 2019? It’s like a little minifig trying to lift an AT-AT—unexpected, charming, and it left a mark. Let’s dive into why this mobile strategy game still has us geeking out like it was just released. A Soft Launch with Serious LEGO Force Back in September 2019, LEGO Star Wars Battles entered soft launch in select markets—think Southeast Asia, Canada, Denmark, and a few more places on the Empire’s lesser-charted routes. It was the kind of stealth launch that whispered, “Hey, we might be onto something,” while dev teams watched for reactions, engagement, and if people would really love deploying porgs and stormtroopers to capture bases. What Made It Click This wasn’t just another mobile tower-defense game—it was Star Wars meets LEGO epicness, with real-time, PvP battles, deck-building mechanics, and recognizable settings…

The holotables are buzzing again as Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes rolls out its latest update for September 3, 2025. This patch mixes new character availability, long-requested adjustments, and a few bug fixes (with a dash of developer humor). Let’s break down everything you need to know. Captain Silvo Joins the Fight The spotlight of this update is the arrival of Captain Silvo, a ruthless Pirate Leader introduced during the Skeleton Crew era.

Fans of both LEGO bricks and bounty hunters have something to celebrate—the Book of Boba Fett event has returned to LEGO Star Wars: Castaways, giving players another chance to snag limited-time themed cosmetics. Running now until September 30th, this event brings the galaxy’s most infamous bounty hunter back into the spotlight, brick by brick.

The Book of Boba Fett expanded on the underworld side of Star Wars, and Castaways takes that gritty aesthetic and transforms it into something charming…
Dan Gilroy: How Palpatine Might’ve Snuck into Andor if It Had Spanned Five Seasons
One of the most compelling Star Wars spin-offs, Andor, concluded after two seasons—but it almost had a much different story arc. A Famous Emperor That Could Have Appeared According to writer Dan Gilroy (yes, Tony Gilroy’s brother), if Andor had gone the distance as originally planned, it likely would’ve brought Emperor Palpatine into the narrative. The show was initially envisioned as a five-season saga charting Cassian Andor’s rise and the Empire’s growing dominance. Even though Palpatine was frequently mentioned, his physical presence was always beyond reach—until now, at least in concept. Tony Gilroy previously confirmed Darth Vader was never a narrative priority. He felt that writing Vader was creatively restrictive—Palpatine, perhaps less so, but still a weighty figure to introduce. Why Andor Ended Early Andor wrapped up with a dramatic second season because the scale of production became unsustainable—both logistically and financially. Instead of traversing five chronological seasons, the team…
Celebrating Timothy Zahn: The Architect Behind Thrawn and Mara Jade
Today we raise a glass of Corellian brandy (or maybe just caf) to Timothy Zahn, the man who gave the Star Wars Expanded Universe some of its most unforgettable characters and stories. Best known for creating Grand Admiral Thrawn and Mara Jade, Zahn’s work has left a lasting mark on Star Wars lore, bridging the galaxy between Return of the Jedi and the modern era. Heir to the Empire: A New Dawn for Star Wars Books Back in 1991, when many thought Star Wars was finished, Timothy Zahn dropped Heir to the Empire. This bestselling novel not only revived fan interest in the galaxy far, far away but also introduced Grand Admiral Thrawn, a calculating Imperial genius unlike any villain we’d seen before. The book kicked off the Thrawn Trilogy, which includes Dark Force Rising and The Last Command. For many fans, this series was the Star Wars sequel trilogy…

Star Wars: Super Teams – The Intergalactic Racing Board Game Blasts Off in September 2025
The galaxy has no shortage of battles, betrayals, and blasters—but sometimes, you just want to race. That’s the pitch behind Star Wars: Super Teams – The Intergalactic Racing Board Game, launching September 12, 2025, from Asmodee and Zygomatic Games. Designed by Max Gerchambeau, this isn’t another heavy tabletop slugfest. It’s a fast, family-friendly race with starships, sabotage, and just enough strategy to keep things interesting. Think less galactic senate politics, more podracing chaos—only this time, the Millennium Falcon might line up against a Star Destroyer. How the Game Works The setup is simple, and that’s the beauty of it. Two to four players pick their teams and move their ships along the track using color-coded cards.

SWG:Legends Friday Feature – Know Your Foe: Krayt Dragons
Legends, sharpen your vibroblades and keep your macros ready—it’s time to resurrect an old community favorite: Friday Feature – Know Your Foe. And what better way to kick things off than with one of the most infamous predators in the Star Wars galaxy: the Krayt Dragon. If you’ve just landed in SWG:Legends (or returned after years in hyperspace), consider this your survival guide. This isn’t just lore flavor—it could literally save your life in-game. What is a Krayt Dragon? Towering, venomous, and older than most Jedi Holocrons, the Krayt Dragon is the apex predator of Tatooine. These monsters are legends for a reason. Their bite contains toxic Krayt Venom, which slowly chips away at opponents—even if you think you’ve got the stats to hold your ground. In short, there’s no such thing as a “safe” Krayt encounter. Whether adolescent or ancient, these beasts demand respect. Where to Find Krayt Dragons…
Katee Sackhoff Opens Up: Playing Bo‑Katan in The Mandalorian “Broke” Her Confidence
Katee Sackhoff has always been known for her gritty, grounded performances—whether piloting a Viper in Battlestar Galactica or wielding a blaster as Bo‑Katan Kryze in Star Wars: The Mandalorian. But behind the helmet and the armor, something unexpected was happening: the role that made her a household name was also tearing her down. In a candid interview on her YouTube series The Sackhoff Show, the actress revealed that stepping into Bo‑Katan’s boots in live-action left her emotionally unmoored. “I lost all of my confidence after Mandalorian,” she said. “It just broke me.” Acting From the Gut… Until It Didn’t Work Sackhoff’s approach to acting has always been instinctual. She calls it “belly acting”—trusting the first impulse and diving into a character that reflects a part of herself. That method worked… until Bo-Katan. “I never felt her in my stomach,” she explained. “I didn’t know how to find her.” Unlike roles…

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Just Left PlayStation Plus—Time to Say Goodbye
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has officially exited the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. If you’ve been dragging your feet on finishing—or even starting—Cal Kestis’s latest journey, you just missed your chance to play it for free through your Extra or Premium subscription. August 19 marked its final day in the lineup, and it’s now lights out unless you’re willing to buy it outright. Cal Has Left the Building As the sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order, Jedi: Survivor has been a massive hit among fans of Star Wars video games. With tighter combat mechanics, new Force powers, more customization, and a deeper, darker narrative, it built on everything the original got right. Set five years after the first game, it throws players into a galaxy in chaos—and Cal Kestis into the thick of it. While having it available on PlayStation Plus was a huge win for subscribers, its departure was always inevitable….
Darth Revan’s First TV Appearance? It’s LEGO—And It’s Perfect
After decades of living in the realm of Star Wars legends, video games, books, and cosplays, Darth Revan has officially made his first TV appearance. No, not in a dark, brooding, live-action Disney+ series. Not yet. Instead, the iconic Knights of the Old Republic Sith Lord has been immortalized in… LEGO form. And honestly? It’s kind of brilliant. The Galactic Cameo That Changes Everything (Sort Of) In LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past, Revan shows up for a quick, delightful cameo—mask, dual lightsabers, dramatic entrance and all. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but for longtime fans, it’s a seismic brick-built shift. We’ve waited years to see Revan on screen, and while this isn’t the gritty saga adaptation many dream of, it’s a charming wink that says, “Yes, he’s still here. And yes, we know you want more.” Why Revan in LEGO Form Just Works Let’s be…
The 2003 Clone Wars Creator Raises Her (Lightsaber)—Could Asajj Ventress Go Live‑Action?
Genndy Tartakovsky’s Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003–2005) was more than your average micro-series—it introduced Asajj Ventress, a dark, magnetic character who’s left a lasting imprint on Star Wars lore. Now that Ventress has re-entered the spotlight in recent animated projects, Tartakovsky’s casually hinted she might just be ready for the live‑action world. Ventress’s Journey from Micro‑Series to Modern Star Wars Ventress burst onto the scene in Tartakovsky’s signature animated shorts, born from a single concept drawing to become Count Dooku’s formidable assassin. Her fluid action sequences, fierce presence, and unique design captivated fans—and continue to stand out even next to decades of other Star Wars storytelling. Since then, she’s evolved: from a cold-hearted assassin in the animated micro‑series, to a conflicted Nightsister and wandering antihero in shows like The Bad Batch Season 3 and Tales of the Underworld. It’s a complex arc begging for deeper, live‑action exploration. Tartakovsky: “If she becomes…
Ewan McGregor Reportedly Joins Hayden Christensen in Ahsoka Season 2
The galaxy might be in for a reunion worthy of a holovid highlight reel. During an appearance at Fan Expo Boston 2025, Ewan McGregor—our forever Obi-Wan Kenobi—appears to have let slip that he’ll be joining Hayden Christensen in Ahsoka Season 2. While Lucasfilm hasn’t issued an official statement, multiple attendee reports and photos from the panel suggest the Star Wars prequel duo will be sharing the screen once again. A Possible “Oops” Moment on Stage According to Star Wars News Net, the reveal came in the form of an off-the-cuff remark. Allegedly, McGregor told the audience: “We begin shooting season two [Ahsoka] soon – wait, was I supposed to say that?” The line has been widely shared online, but without video evidence, it remains in the category of “unverified but juicy.” Nexus Point News, who posted photos of McGregor and Christensen together at the event, also claimed on social media…

Disney Rumored to Plot an Endgame-Level Saga for Upcoming Star Wars Movies
The galaxy might be gearing up for its biggest cinematic crossover yet—if the latest whispers are true. According to well-known industry insider Daniel RPK, Disney is quietly mapping out a multi-film Star Wars plan that could culminate in an “Avengers: Endgame”-style blockbuster event. Yes, we’re talking lightsabers, hyperspace jumps, and possibly more than one familiar face returning to the big screen. And at the center of it all? Daisy Ridley’s Rey Skywalker. Rey Skywalker: The Starting Point for a New Era RPK claims the saga would begin with the upcoming New Jedi Order movie, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. This film would follow Rey in the years after The Rise of Skywalker, rebuilding the Jedi Order and navigating a galaxy still licking its wounds from the First Order’s defeat. While Lucasfilm has officially confirmed the Rey-led project, they’ve kept quiet on whether it will spark a larger, interconnected storyline. But if…
Disney and Gina Carano Settle Legal Feud: From Lawsuit to Galaxy’s Edge
From Courtroom Clash to Galactic Handshake Four years after being blasted out of The Mandalorian airlock, Gina Carano and Disney have decided to call a truce. The two sides have settled their long-running legal feud, drawing a neat little line under one of the most talked-about Star Wars-related controversies in recent memory. No dramatic press conferences, no lightsaber duels—just a quiet “we’re good” and a hint they might work together again. The Exit Wound Carano was fired in 2021 after a string of social media posts that drew heavy criticism—covering everything from pandemic politics to election disputes and even a Holocaust comparison. Disney and Lucasfilm said her views didn’t line up with their values. Carano argued she was being singled out for her opinions while male co-stars with equally strong political takes skated by. Cue lawsuit. The Big Courtroom Moment Before the settlement, Carano scored a notable win: a federal…
The Rise of “Clanker”: A Star Wars Slur Rebooted for AI Backlash
The word “clanker” just hopped out of a Star Wars battle grid and right into today’s AI-fueled lexicon—and it’s not a lightsaber-wielding hero. Instead, it’s become a go-to insult for expressing weariness, frustration, or flat-out disdain for artificial intelligence. What’s Up with “Clanker”? If it sounds familiar, that’s because it is. “Clanker” originated in Star Wars: Republic Commando, used by clone troopers to belittle their droid enemies. Fast-forward to 2025, and the term has resurfaced—this time targeting modern-day AI platforms like ChatGPT, voice assistants, and robotic systems. We’re not talking playful nerd speak—it’s hitting a nerve. The slur is spreading across social media, popularized on platforms like TikTok and Twitter, as a punchy way to vent frustrations with AI’s growing invasion of daily life. Why Now? What’s Driving the AI Frustration? “Clanker” fits the mood: a nostalgic sci-fi relic turned linguistic flashlight, spotlighting anxiety about the machines among us. What’s…
