Dave Filoni’s Star Wars crossover movie has been talked about for years now — and yet it still feels like the most “Schrödinger’s Star Wars project” imaginable. It exists… but it also kind of doesn’t. It was announced as the cinematic event meant to tie together the Disney+ Star Wars era built around The Mandalorian — and it’s still expected to deliver a large-scale crossover featuring multiple shows. So what do we actually know right now? Let’s break it down into: confirmed, reported, and still speculation. What Is the Filoni Movie Supposed to Be? This is the important baseline: ✅ The film is designed as a crossover event for the interconnected Star Wars Disney+ timeline often nicknamed the “Mandoverse.” That includes the era after Return of the Jedi and before The Force Awakens, where Lucasfilm has built a shared story across multiple series. The original concept has long been described…

And according to a new breakdown, the Kathleen Kennedy era at Lucasfilm has built a pretty serious awards track record — across Star Wars films, Disney+ series, and Lucasfilm’s broader output.

How Many Seasons and Years Will Maul: Shadow Lord Run For?
When Maul: Shadow Lord was announced, the excitement wasn’t just about seeing Darth Maul return to the spotlight—it was about how Lucasfilm plans to tell his story this time. With the animated series set to debut on Disney+ in 2026, one question keeps surfacing among fans who’ve followed Star Wars animation closely: how long will this show actually last on Disney+? Not in terms of hype cycles or wishful thinking, but in the practical, story-driven sense that determines whether a series feels complete or overstays its welcome. Looking at how Lucasfilm has handled recent animated projects, Maul’s established place in canon, and the realities of modern streaming production, there’s a surprisingly clear answer hiding in plain sight. Will it be a tight, prestige-style run?A longer, Clone Wars–style epic?Or something deliberately limited? Let’s break this down properly—based on how Lucasfilm actually treats animated Star Wars, not wishful thinking or hype cycles….
Ahsoka Season 2 Missing From Disney’s 2026 Slate — What It Could Mean
A surprising update has caught the attention of Star Wars fans: Ahsoka Season 2 is not included on Disney’s updated release slate for 2026. While this could simply be an oversight, it has also sparked speculation that the series may not arrive until 2027. At the moment, Disney has not commented on the omission — leaving fans to read between the lines. Why Ahsoka Season 2 Was Expected in 2026 Following the success of Ahsoka Season 1, many assumed the second season would land sometime in 2026. The show quickly became one of Disney+’s most discussed Star Wars series, continuing threads from The Mandalorian era while expanding the galaxy’s mythology in bold directions. Given typical production timelines and prior expectations, a 2026 release felt reasonable — which makes its absence from the current slate stand out. Two Possible Explanations 1. It Could Be a Simple Oversight Release slates are often…
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….
Disney Quietly Swaps Rogue One Thumbnail — Now It’s the Cassian Show (Apparently)
If you opened up Disney+ recently and thought, “Wait a minute, wasn’t Rogue One about Jyn Erso?”, you’re not imagining things. Disney has subtly updated the thumbnail for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, placing Cassian Andor front and center—with Jyn and K-2SO noticeably playing backup in the shadows. And while we’re all for Cassian getting his moment in the binary suns, one can’t help but wonder: Did Disney+ just retcon the thumbnail to boost clicks off Andor hype? Let’s talk about it. 📺 The New Rogue One Thumbnail: Cassian Leads the Charge In the updated image currently shown on Disney+, Cassian’s intense, brooding face dominates the frame, flanked by a smaller Jyn Erso and the ever-sarcastic K-2SO. This might seem like a minor visual tweak—but it completely flips the marketing narrative of the film. Originally, Rogue One was marketed (and written) with Jyn Erso as the lead. She delivers…
Andor’s Everyday Heroes: How the Star Wars Series Redefined Heroism in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars has never been short on heroes – from farmboys with destinies to mysterious Jedi and fearless princesses. But in a franchise often preoccupied with grand prophecies and Chosen One narratives, the Disney+ series Andor dared to shine the spotlight on the little guys. This show isn’t about Skywalkers or Palpatines; it’s about the everyday individuals who choose to resist tyranny, even when they don’t have Force powers or royal blood. In doing so, Andor introduced a new kind of Star Wars hero – one grounded in realism, moral ambiguity, and the power of ordinary people banding together. The result? A story that feels at once refreshingly human and grippingly relevant. With a funny-yet-heartfelt touch, we’ll explore how Andor breaks the mold. From Cassian Andor’s journey from self-serving survivor to Rebel leader, to the unsung heroes of Ferrix who prove you don’t need a lightsaber to spark a rebellion,…
