OTD in 1985: Ewoks – The Battle for Endor Brought Chaos, Blasters, and Unexpected Darkness to ABC
On November 24, 1985, American TV audiences tuned into ABC expecting a cozy Sunday-night Star Wars adventure…and instead got one of the darkest openings in Star Wars history. Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, the second of the made-for-TV Ewok movies, aired 39 years ago today — and if you haven’t revisited it in a while, you may have forgotten just how dramatically unhinged it is. Cute teddy bears? Yes.Family-friendly? In theory.Traumatizing? Absolutely. Let’s take a trip back to this very odd corner of Star Wars canon. A Sequel That Pulls Zero Punches The story picks up right after Caravan of Courage, following young Cindel Towani (Aubree Miller) as she and her family continue to survive on the forest moon of Endor. …for about ten minutes. Because in one of the most surprising tonal shifts ever approved by Lucasfilm, the entire Towani family except Cindel is killed early in the film….

If you’ve been waiting to jump into Cal Kestis’ story… well, you may never see a better time than right now. These aren’t tiny “here’s five bucks off, enjoy” discounts — we’re talking “grab the controller, do not walk, run to the checkout” levels of deals. Jedi: Fallen Order – The Origin Story You Shouldn’t Skip Jedi: Fallen Order was already considered one of the best modern Star Wars games when it launched.

If you somehow haven’t played it yet, this is your chance to witness Cal’s escape from Order…
Hayden Christensen Proudly Picks His Favourite Star Wars Films: A Look at His Choices
Hayden Christensen, the actor revered (and debated) for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker, recently shared a pair of standout picks when asked about his favourite films in the Star Wars galaxy. From the original trilogy and into the new era, here’s what he chose—and what it tells us about the man behind the suit. 🎬 His Picks Why The Empire Strikes Back Tops His List The Empire Strikes Back has long been hailed by many fans (and critics) as the pinnacle of the Star Wars saga: darker tone, richer character arcs, the unforgettable moment of “I am your father,” and a cliffhanger that changed the way sequels were made. It makes sense that an actor like Christensen—who himself lived through one of cinema’s most infamous sequel arcs—would connect strongly with this film. For someone deeply invested in Skywalker lore, choosing this film signals admiration for its risk-taking, emotional stakes, and…
Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Lands on ITVX – A New Home for a Galaxy Divided
The Star Wars sequel trilogy has officially hyperspaced its way to a new streaming home: ITVX.The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019) have now joined the platform, giving UK viewers an easy place to revisit (or re-debate) one of the most divisive eras in Star Wars history. Source And honestly—few trilogies deserve the word “divisive” quite as much as this one. A Galaxy Reborn… Then Argued About After Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, the studio launched a brand-new sequel trilogy set decades after Return of the Jedi. The nostalgia was real: Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill all returned as Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker. At the same time, a new generation took the spotlight: Together, they find themselves locked in a war against Supreme Leader Snoke and his apprentice Kylo Ren — better known as Ben Solo, son of…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Turns 10 – The $2 Billion Mobile Giant That Still Dominates the Galaxy
A full decade has passed since Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes launched and quietly became the most profitable Star Wars video game ever made. Released in 2015, the mobile RPG didn’t arrive with the cinematic splash of a console blockbuster — but it did bring something far more powerful: a frictionless, endlessly expandable system built for collectors, strategists, and fans who always wanted to see Darth Vader punch General Grievous in the face. Ten years later, Galaxy of Heroes has generated an estimated $2 billion in revenue, making it the single most successful Star Wars game in history. Not Battlefront. Not KOTOR. Not Jedi: Fallen Order. A mobile squad battler did what none of them could. And the wild part? It’s still going strong. A Decade of Dominance in the Star Wars Gaming Galaxy Most live-service mobile games burn out after a few years. Galaxy of Heroes did the opposite…
Play as Darth Vader in Marvel Rivals – A Full Magneto Overhaul Mod That Brings the Dark Lord to the Arena
Marvel Rivals already lets players throw half a city at each other, bend reality, and generally cause the kind of chaos your graphics card resents. But what if you could add one more ingredient to the mayhem? Something darker. Something heavier. Something that breathes ominously in your headset? Yes—you can now play as Darth Vader in Marvel Rivals, thanks to a surprisingly deep mod that replaces Magneto with the galaxy’s angriest single father. This mod isn’t just a basic mesh swap. It comes with new skins, custom UI icons, and a full audio package pulling from Battlefront II and several other Star Wars titles. It’s the closest thing Marvel Rivals has to a straight-up Star Wars crossover—and it might be one of the most ambitious character mods the game has so far.

Yoda: Dark Rendezvous Turns 21 — The Clone Wars Novel That Still Goes Hard
Twenty-one years ago today, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous by Sean Stewart dropped into the Star Wars Expanded Universe and immediately earned its reputation as one of the smartest, weirdest, and most heartfelt Clone Wars stories ever put to paper. It’s the rare Legends novel that fans still talk about with that “No, seriously, you have to read this one” energy—and for good reason. Released in 2004, the book stands as a shining example of just how rich Star Wars storytelling could be long before the Disney era. And now, at 21 years old, this chaotic, philosophical, occasionally unhinged little masterpiece deserves some celebration. Yoda at His Best (and Funniest) Most stories treat Yoda like a mystical space oracle, dropping cryptic wisdom between dramatic pauses. Dark Rendezvous flips that. Sean Stewart presents Yoda as: It’s Yoda at maximum personality—still wise, still deadly, but so much more alive than his usual “talk in…
Disney Spent $705 Million on ANDOR — More Than Any Star Wars Movie Ever Produced
Disney has officially revealed new financial filings showing that Andor—the critically acclaimed Star Wars spy thriller starring Diego Luna—has become the most expensive Star Wars production in history, with a staggering $705.5 million spent across its two seasons. That makes Andor more expensive than The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, or Rogue One. No Star Wars film has ever crossed that number. And what’s even more remarkable:Season 2 alone cost $60.5 million in 2024, ahead of its premiere this April. Source A Decade of Mixed Results Leads to a Different Kind of Star Wars Investment Disney’s Star Wars journey since buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion in 2012 has been… uneven. After 2019, Star Wars disappeared from cinemas entirely as Disney pivoted hard toward Disney+ shows. But those shows also produced mixed results: The Mandalorian The Acolyte And then there was Andor.

Ghorman Massacre: The Star Wars Tragedy That Sparked a Rebellion
The Ghorman Massacre stands as one of the most notorious atrocities in Star Wars lore. It’s a fictional event, but its impact within the galaxy far, far away is very real to the characters who lived it. In a confident yet conversational tone, let’s break down what happened on Ghorman, why it mattered, and how this dark incident helped ignite the spark of open rebellion against the Galactic Empire. This isn’t your dry history lecture from the Jedi Archives; it’s an engaging look at a pivotal moment that changed the fate of the Star Wars galaxy. Imperial walkers and stormtroopers face down a massive crowd of peaceful protesters on Ghorman, exemplifying the Empire’s oppressive response that led to the infamous Ghorman Massacre. This brutal crackdown ended any illusion that dissent would be tolerated under Emperor Palpatine’s rule and became a rallying cry for the nascent Rebel Alliance. (In the Star…
The Force Awakens 10th Anniversary Special Edition: A Stunning Look Back at the Film That Rebooted Modern Star Wars
A decade has passed since Star Wars: The Force Awakens blasted into cinemas and reset the franchise’s trajectory.

Now Lucasfilm and Titan Magazines are celebrating that milestone with something genuinely worthy of your shelf: Star Wars Insider Presents: The Force Awakens – The 10 Year Anniversary Special Edition.

Titan Magazines has pulled together a curated, archival-style retrospective full of never-before-seen production stills, costume details, creature workshop shots, and director-driven commentary.

Lucasfilm Tells Shawn Levy: “Do Something New” for His Star Wars Movie
It looks like Lucasfilm is finally ready to chart a new course for Star Wars films — and director Shawn Levy just gave us the clearest confirmation yet. In a new interview with KCRW’s The Business, the Starfighter director revealed that Lucasfilm has specifically encouraged him not to use existing Star Wars characters in his upcoming movie. According to Levy, every time he’s floated the idea of borrowing a familiar face from the films, he gets the same answer: “Every time I’ve asked, ‘Should I use this character that was maybe in that movie?’ Every time it’s, ‘You know what? People have seen that. Do something new.’” Source That’s a surprising — and frankly refreshing — creative directive. For years, new Star Wars projects have often leaned heavily on legacy characters, cameos, and nostalgia-driven storytelling. Whether it’s Luke Skywalker showing up in The Mandalorian or familiar Clone Wars characters weaving…
Star Wars Battlefront II – Stephen Hawking For BB-8 Mod: The Most Unexpected Hero Rework in the Galaxy
Every now and then, the Star Wars Battlefront II modding scene drops something so boldly absurd, so wildly unexpected, and so unapologetically creative that it forces you to sit back, blink twice, and whisper:“Wait… they modded what into the game?” Yes—someone replaced BB-8 with Stephen Hawking, complete with custom audio, visuals, UI assets, star cards, and even death effects. It’s the kind of mod that makes the Battlefront II community special: a mix of meme culture, technical skill, and total disregard for what anyone would consider “normal.” And honestly? It’s glorious. A Mod That Redefines ‘Creative Liberty’ in Star Wars Games The Stephen Hawking For BB-8 mod isn’t a simple texture swap or a cheap gag. It’s a full replacement package that transforms the beloved spherical droid into one of history’s most iconic scientific minds—delivered with surprisingly polished execution. Here’s what the mod includes: It’s the kind of overhaul mod…
Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon Releases February 3rd – A New Prequel Novel Expands the Underworld
The Star Wars galaxy is getting a new entry into its criminal underworld—and this time, it ties directly into the upcoming game Star Wars Outlaws. The novel Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon launches on February 3rd, and if you’re planning to dive into Ubisoft’s scoundrel-filled open-world game, this book might just be essential reading. Written by Mike Chen—a fan-favorite author known for Brotherhood and From a Certain Point of View—Low Red Moon serves as a prequel to the game, expanding the lives of characters who will soon appear on-screen. Even better? It works as a standalone story for readers who just love gritty Star Wars storytelling. And yes, you can already pre-order it on Amazon here: A Story From the Underworld — Long Before the Game Begins Low Red Moon spans two distinct eras of the Star Wars timeline: The book follows Jaylen Vrax (formerly Jaylen Barsha), whose entire…
Rian Johnson’s Star Wars Trilogy Is “Effectively Dead,” Says The Hollywood Reporter
It’s the end of a long-running Star Wars mystery:Director Rian Johnson’s planned Star Wars trilogy — announced all the way back in 2017 — is now “effectively dead,” according to The Hollywood Reporter’s new profile on the filmmaker. While Johnson is currently busy celebrating the premiere of his new film Wake Up Dead Man, the article finally gives us a clear update on the trilogy many fans assumed had quietly vanished into hyperspace. Now, we have confirmation: it’s not happening. And maybe never really was. From The Last Jedi to “What Could Have Been” Johnson’s relationship with Star Wars began with The Last Jedi (2017), one of the most talked-about and debated films in the franchise’s history. THR notes that Johnson created TLJ in what he describes as a “beautiful, fearless little bubble,” focused entirely on the creative work and not the outside noise. That noise, of course, arrived later…
The Acolyte Creator Leslye Headland Says She Has “No Regrets” — And Why That Matters for Star Wars
After nearly a year of silence following the cancellation of Star Wars: The Acolyte, series creator Leslye Headland has finally broken her silence in a new and remarkably candid interview with The Wrap. And if there’s one thing she makes clear from the start, it’s this: “I love my show, I have no regrets, and I know that it was wonderful.” For a series that sparked passionate debate across the fandom, Headland’s comments offer the clearest picture yet of what went into the show — and what ultimately led to its abrupt cancellation. “The Acolyte Was Always a Major Risk” Headland doesn’t shy away from acknowledging that The Acolyte was a gamble from day one. Rather than leaning on familiar Star Wars elements, the show plunged into the High Republic era, a timeline that had never been depicted in live action before. “It was a new part of the timeline….

LEGO Star Wars games have always thrived on pure charm. Whether you’re smashing bricks, unlocking classic heroes, or reliving the Skywalker Saga with plastic hairpieces, the formula just works.

Knights of the Old Republic II Gets a Gorgeous Companion Makeover With This HQ Texture Overhaul
Some players can’t resist building a new character every time they boot up Knights of the Old Republic II. Others mod the game until it barely resembles the original.

Five years ago today, Star Wars fans strapped on VR headsets, ignited their virtual blasters, and stepped foot into one of the most immersive corners of the galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge officially released on this day — and it still stands as one of the most underrated Star Wars gaming experiences of the last decade.
