Disneyland’s New Leia Look Has a Battlefront II Twist
Princess Leia is heading to Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland on April 29, but the really fun part is not just that she is joining Black Spire Outpost. It is which Leia Disney appears to be bringing with her. Lucasfilm says this new park version uses Leia’s “adventure look,” inspired in part by her appearance in Star Wars Battlefront II, making this a surprisingly neat crossover between Star Wars game design and Disney park canon. That gives this reveal a little extra juice for game fans. On the surface, this is part of Disneyland’s larger Galaxy’s Edge timeline expansion, which begins April 29 and opens the land up to more eras of Star Wars storytelling. StarWars.com says guests will begin seeing characters like Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Darth Vader in Black Spire Outpost as the land moves beyond its old, narrower timeline setup. But Leia’s costume is where…
SWGOH Is Resetting Satele Shan After GL Rey Investigation
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is making a direct change to Satele Shan after investigating her interaction with Galactic Legend Rey. In a new official update, the Galaxy of Heroes team says it reviewed how Satele was performing with GL Rey and decided it needed to step in. With tomorrow’s patch, players will have their Satele Shan reset to a level that allows reinvestment, giving them the chance to rebuild her after the changes. That is the real headline here. This is not just a tiny balance tweak buried in patch notes. It is a full intervention tied to a specific high-profile interaction, and it comes with meaningful updates to Special 02 and Legendary Defiance, two parts of Satele’s kit that now push her more clearly toward Old Republic teams. What changed The revised Special 02 now dispels all buffs on all enemies, deals Physical damage to the target, applies…
More Classic Star Wars Games Caught in Disney’s Steam Delisting Purge
Another chunk of old Star Wars PC history just got shoved off the digital shelf. A fresh round of Disney-related delistings has hit Steam, and this time it includes the original STAR WARS™ Dark Forces (Classic, 1995). SteamDB shows the game as “Retired,” and PC Gamer reports that this latest wave also affects a wider batch of older Disney-published titles. That alone stings. But for Star Wars fans, the real gut punch is what it represents. These old games were never just dusty store listings. They were part of the weird, messy, brilliant era when Star Wars games could be flight sims, strategy experiments, first-person shooters, and things that felt a little too ambitious for their own good. Dark Forces matters because it helped carve out Star Wars as a serious PC action franchise long before modern remasters and prestige branding. And Star Wars: Rebellion matters because it was exactly…
Filoni Had the Most Dave Filoni Answer Possible to Sam Witwer’s Starkiller Worry
Sometimes Star Wars lore is complicated. And sometimes Dave Filoni hears a problem, tilts his head for a second, and turns it into a very Star Wars answer. In a new StarWars.com interview tied to Maul: Shadow Lord, Sam Witwer recalled worrying that his performance as the Son of Mortis sounded too much like Starkiller. Filoni’s response was basically: that is fine, because Starkiller is deeply tied to the dark side, and the Son is the dark side. So if they sound alike, that actually tracks. It is one of those explanations that sounds slightly insane for three seconds and then starts making annoying amounts of sense. A very Star Wars problem with a very Star Wars solution Witwer told StarWars.com that when he first played the Son in The Clone Wars, he did not arrive with a strong take on the character and started to worry he was slipping…
Claudia Gray Wants a KOTOR Novel — and Honestly, Lucasfilm Should Let Her Cook
There are good Star Wars book ideas, and then there are the ones that feel so obvious it is almost rude they do not exist yet. Claudia Gray writing a Knights of the Old Republic novel is firmly in that second category. And now she has said it out loud. Speaking at MegaCon 2026, Gray said she wants to write KOTOR books and joked that if a Mission and Zaalbar backstory novel happens without her, “there will be blood.” That is the sort of quote that immediately lights up the ancient Jedi temple in the brains of old-school Star Wars readers. Not just because KOTOR still has a huge fan following, but because Gray is not some random person tossing out wishlist ideas from the cheap seats. On the official StarWars.com author page, she is listed as the writer of Bloodline, Lost Stars, Leia, Princess of Alderaan, and Master &…
Star Wars Eclipse May Have Finished Chunks — But the Bigger Problem Sounds a Lot Less Glamorous
There are few Star Wars games better at looking alive while saying almost nothing than Star Wars Eclipse. The reveal trailer still has juice. The High Republic setting is still a smart hook. The pitch still sounds expensive in all the right ways. But the latest reporting makes the actual state of the game sound a lot less like “quietly cooking” and a lot more like “beautifully parked with the engine running.” According to Insider Gaming’s new report on Star Wars Eclipse, development has been “very slow going,” with one source saying there has been “very little progress over months.” That is the kind of update that lands with a thud, because this is not some tiny project nobody remembers. This is the big Quantic Dream and Lucasfilm Games collaboration that was sold as an intricately branching High Republic action-adventure with multiple playable characters, major choices, and a story that…
Sam Witwer Says Maul: Shadow Lord Was Built for Newcomers — and Compares Maul to Jack Torrance
Sam Witwer has now said the quiet part out loud: Maul: Shadow Lord is not just a reward for longtime Clone Wars diehards. In a new YouTube interview, Witwer said the series was shaped so even people with little or no Star Wars background can jump in and understand it, which is a pretty revealing statement about what Lucasfilm seems to want this show to do. That matters because Maul has never exactly been a beginner-friendly character. His timeline is messy, his rage is old, and half his best material is spread across movies, animation, and a surprise live-action cameo. But Witwer said Shadow Lord was constructed “with an eye toward” new viewers, with the story designed to explain itself rather than demand homework first. That lines up with the official setup for the series, which places Maul on Janix in the early Imperial era as he tries to rebuild…
The Mandalorian and Grogu Just Crashed a Savannah Bananas Game, and Honestly It Makes Weird Sense
The road to The Mandalorian and Grogu is taking some delightfully strange turns. This weekend, Din Djarin and Grogu made a surprise appearance at a Savannah Bananas game in Anaheim, with Fantha Tracks reporting that the duo showed up during the Bananas’ matchup against the Indianapolis Clowns. It is the kind of crossover that sounds made up until you remember modern Star Wars marketing has fully embraced the “put Grogu everywhere” philosophy. And this was not some totally random one-off. Disney had already turned March 26 into “Savannah Bananas Day” at Disneyland Resort, with performances at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, plus a Bananas stop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge before the baseball festivities rolled into Angel Stadium. In other words, the Mando-and-Grogu cameo looks a lot less like chaos and a lot more like a carefully timed Disney-Star Wars-Banana Ball brand mashup. Wild sentence. Real sentence. A smarter promo…
Dave Filoni Says Maul: Shadow Lord Will Finally Bring Some of George Lucas’ Maul Plans to Life
One of the most intriguing things Lucasfilm has said about Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is not about a trailer shot or a release date. It is about George Lucas. In the official reveal coverage for the series, Dave Filoni said he and Lucas had discussed Maul’s future over the years, and that Shadow Lord became a way of honoring some of those original ideas and finally bringing part of that unseen future to light. That is a big statement for a character whose post-Phantom Menace life has already been one of the strangest and richest arcs in modern Star Wars. For the wider rollout, characters, and earlier reveals, check out our Maul: Shadow Lord complete guide. This Makes Shadow Lord Feel Bigger Than Just Another Spinoff What makes Filoni’s quote land is that it frames the series as more than a simple Maul comeback vehicle. In StarWars.com’s official…
Maul: Shadow Lord Is Not Making Maul a Hero — and That Is Exactly the Point
One of the more interesting things Lucasfilm has said about Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is also one of the most clarifying: this is not a redemption story. Writer and co-creator Matt Michnovetz and Maul voice actor Sam Witwer have framed the series around a simple idea — Maul is “a bad guy fighting worse guys.” That is a much sharper promise than the usual vague “darker Star Wars” marketing, because it tells you exactly where the show wants to live morally. For more on the series overall, you can also check our Maul: Shadow Lord complete guide. This Is a Better Angle Than a Fake Redemption Arc Honestly, this is the smartest move Lucasfilm could make with Maul. He does not need to be softened up, cleaned up, or rebranded as some secretly misunderstood antihero. The whole appeal of Maul is that he is dangerous, obsessive, proud, and…
A Screen-Used C-3PO Head Just Sold for Over $1 Million
Star Wars collectors have officially gone full protocol-droid madness again. A screen-used, light-up C-3PO head from The Empire Strikes Back has just sold for $1,058,400 at Propstore’s Spring Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction in Los Angeles, blowing past its pre-sale estimate of $350,000 to $700,000. Multiple reports describe it as the only known original C-3PO head from the film to reach the collector market, which helps explain why the bidding went completely nuclear. This Was Not Just Another Fancy Star Wars Prop That price is wild, but the context matters. This was not a random replica or a vague “production-used” piece with fuzzy provenance. Reports say the prop came from The Empire Strikes Back, still retained much of its original metallic finish, and featured light-up eyes. It was also described as intentionally distressed for the weathered look seen on screen, with some wear revealing a silvery underlayer beneath the gold finish….
Maul: Shadow Lord Gets Its First Full Clip as Disney+ Premiere Nears
Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord just took a small but meaningful step closer to launch. After months of teasers, posters, and trailers, the upcoming animated series has now released its first full clip, giving fans a more direct look at how Lucasfilm wants Maul’s return to feel in motion rather than in quick-cut marketing bursts. Star Wars News Net and Jedi News both flagged the clip’s arrival this week. For a broader breakdown of the series, release rollout, and what to expect, check out our Maul: Shadow Lord complete guide This Is Where the Real Promo Push Starts There is a difference between a trailer and an actual scene. Trailers sell mood. A full clip has to sell rhythm, dialogue, staging, and confidence. That is why this matters a bit more than it might seem at first glance. Maul: Shadow Lord already had attention thanks to its striking painterly…
BB-8 Puppeteer Says Sequel Backlash Is Repeating Prequel History
Brian Herring, the puppeteer and performer behind BB-8 in the sequel trilogy, thinks Star Wars fans have seen this cycle before. In a new interview with Gamereactor, Herring argued that the sequel trilogy is “no more polarising” than the prequels were when they first landed, suggesting today’s online backlash says as much about generational turnover as it does about the films themselves. Herring has long been closely tied to modern Star Wars on screen, with StarWars.com previously spotlighting his work bringing BB-8 to life. The Internet Changed the Volume, Not the Pattern Herring’s basic argument is pretty sharp: people angry about the sequels are often too young to remember how intensely fans pushed back against the prequels when those films arrived. His point is not that everyone has to like Episodes VII-IX. It is that the reaction pattern feels familiar, only louder now because every debate gets amplified online. In…
Disney’s Star Wars AI Video Plan Dies With Sora Shutdown
Disney’s Star Wars AI video experiment is over before it ever really started. OpenAI has decided to shut down Sora, its consumer video product, and that move also kills the high-profile Disney agreement that would have brought more than 200 Disney-owned characters and settings, including Star Wars, into AI-generated fan videos. Reuters reported that the deal never officially closed and that no money changed hands, even though Disney had announced plans in December to invest $1 billion in OpenAI as part of the broader partnership. A Big Star Wars Bet That Never Reached Launch Back in December, Disney said Sora would be able to generate short fan-style videos using a licensed pool of more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters, plus costumes, props, vehicles, and iconic environments. The companies also said some curated Sora-generated videos could eventually stream on Disney+. In other words, this was not some…
Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Website Gets a Fresh New Look Ahead of 2026 Opening
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is getting closer to reality — and now its official website is starting to reflect that momentum. With the museum scheduled to open in 2026, the team behind George Lucas’ ambitious storytelling-focused institution has rolled out a refreshed website design, giving fans and future visitors a clearer look at what’s coming. While it might sound like a small update, the new site offers a glimpse into how the museum is shaping its identity ahead of launch — and why it’s becoming one of the most anticipated Star Wars-adjacent projects in years. A Fresh Coat of Paint for a Growing Museum The updated Lucas Museum website features a cleaner layout, improved navigation, and a more modern visual style that better matches the futuristic architecture of the museum itself. Visitors can now more easily explore: The refresh makes it clear that the project is moving steadily…
Ryan Gosling Explains Why He Finally Said Yes to Star Wars After Avoiding Big Franchises for Years
Ryan Gosling has spent most of his career doing something unusual for an A-list Hollywood star: avoiding major film franchises. No Marvel. No DC. No long-running cinematic universes. So when it was revealed he would lead a brand-new Star Wars movie, fans immediately had one question: why now? According to Gosling himself, the answer comes down to one person — and one script. “It Was Shawn’s Vision” In a new interview discussing his upcoming Star Wars film Star Wars: Starfighter, Gosling opened up about why this was the franchise that finally convinced him to step into blockbuster territory. “It was Shawn’s enthusiasm and his vision and the script,” Gosling explained. “I just avoided these things because they never felt right… and I’m glad I did because it was worth waiting for. It is like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” That’s a pretty strong endorsement — especially from an actor known for being…
Star Wars: Visions Reportedly Renewed for Volume 4
More animated adventures from a galaxy far, far away may already be on the horizon. According to a new report circulating online, Star Wars: Visions has reportedly been renewed for Volume 4, suggesting that Lucasfilm isn’t done exploring bold new storytelling through its acclaimed anthology series. The report comes from entertainment insider Daniel Richtman (DanielRPK), who shared that the animated project is moving forward with another volume. While there has been no official confirmation from Lucasfilm or Disney yet, the rumor has quickly gained traction among Star Wars fans eager for more experimental stories set across the galaxy. A Fan-Favorite Anthology Returns? Since its debut, Star Wars: Visions has carved out a unique place within the franchise. Rather than focusing strictly on established canon, the series has allowed animation studios from around the world to tell standalone Star Wars stories in distinct visual styles and tones. Volume 1 introduced anime-inspired…
Katee Sackhoff Jokes About “Job Security Forever” as Bo-Katan in Star Wars
Bo-Katan Kryze might not be going anywhere anytime soon—at least if Katee Sackhoff has anything to say about it. In a recent interview, the Star Wars actress shared a humorous but telling insight about her Mandalorian character’s future, joking that she’s confident she’ll keep returning to the role for years to come. Why? Because Bo-Katan is closely tied to Star Wars creative chief Dave Filoni in a very personal way. “I Have Job Security Forever” Speaking about her future in the galaxy far, far away, Sackhoff joked that she feels secure continuing as Bo-Katan because the character is loosely inspired by someone very important to Filoni—his wife. “So I have job security forever,” Sackhoff said with a laugh when discussing Bo-Katan’s long-term future. The comment was delivered in good humor, but it highlights just how deeply rooted the character is within modern Star Wars storytelling and Filoni’s creative world. Bo-Katan’s…
Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Finally Opening This September — A New Home for Star Wars History and Pop Culture
After years of delays, speculation, and massive anticipation, the long-awaited Lucas Museum of Narrative Art finally has an opening date: September 22. For Star Wars fans, art lovers, and pop culture historians alike, this isn’t just another museum launch. It’s the culmination of a decades-long vision from George Lucas — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most unique storytelling spaces ever created. A Museum Built on Storytelling The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will open in Los Angeles’ Exposition Park and aims to celebrate storytelling across all mediums — from film and comics to painting, illustration, and digital media. The museum has been described as a “temple to the people’s art,” designed to showcase narrative storytelling as one of humanity’s most powerful cultural forces. Visitors can expect an enormous collection curated by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, featuring: The collection reportedly includes tens of thousands of items…
Patrick Stewart Dreams of a Star Wars and Star Trek Crossover: “I Would Get Such a Kick Out of That”
The idea of a crossover between Star Wars and Star Trek has lived in fan discussions for decades — and now even Patrick Stewart is openly admitting he’s imagined it too. In a recent interview, the legendary actor revealed that the thought of merging the two iconic sci-fi universes isn’t just something fans debate online. It’s something that’s come up behind the scenes among the Star Trek cast as well. “I will admit that, at least for us on ‘Star Trek,’ we have fantasized about a combined universe between ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Trek’ movie,” Stewart said. “There have been a lot of ideas thrown about on putting together two iconic universes and having all of these great characters coming into contact. I would personally get such a kick out of that.” A Sci-Fi Crossover Fans Have Wanted for Decades A crossover between Star Wars and Star Trek would be one…
Happy 80th Birthday to C-3PO Himself: Celebrating Anthony Daniels and a Galaxy of Golden Memories
If there’s one voice in the Star Wars galaxy that could politely panic its way through a galactic war, negotiate with Ewoks, and still remind everyone about etiquette, it’s Anthony Daniels. And today, the man behind C-3PO officially turns 80. Yes — the golden protocol droid who has been worrying about odds since 1977 is now celebrating a milestone birthday in real life. And honestly, the Star Wars universe wouldn’t be the same without him. The Only Actor in All Nine Skywalker Saga Films Anthony Daniels holds a record few actors in cinematic history can claim. He is the only performer to appear in all nine films of the Skywalker Saga — from A New Hope to The Rise of Skywalker. While other actors came and went, switched roles, or appeared only in certain trilogies, Daniels remained a constant. Through every rebellion, empire, and awkward diplomatic moment, C-3PO was always…
Tony Gilroy Says Andor’s Ghorman Is Basically Greenland in New Interview
Andor has never exactly been subtle about its political themes, and according to creator Tony Gilroy, that’s very much by design. In a new interview discussing the relevance of the series and its real-world inspirations, Gilroy made a striking comparison between the planet Ghorman and modern geopolitical tensions—specifically referencing Greenland. “Ghorman is Greenland. Ghorman is anything. ‘We want the rare earth, we want this.’ It really is just a crude laundry list of moves that they have… it rhymes with the show.” The comment reinforces something many fans have already picked up on: Andor isn’t just telling a Star Wars story. It’s reflecting real-world power struggles, resource conflicts, and political maneuvering through a galaxy far, far away. A Star Wars Story With Real-World Parallels Gilroy has been open from the start that Andor draws heavily from historical and contemporary politics. From authoritarian crackdowns to corporate-state alliances and resistance movements, the…
Tony Gilroy Shuts Down Rumors of Tension Between Him and Dave Filoni Over Andor
Star Wars fans love a good behind-the-scenes drama almost as much as a lightsaber duel—but according to Andor creator Tony Gilroy, the rumored friction between him and Lucasfilm creative chief Dave Filoni simply doesn’t exist. In a new interview, Gilroy addressed speculation that Filoni may have disliked Andor or had creative disagreements with the team behind the critically acclaimed series. His response? A very clear and repeated no. “No. We’ve only met a couple times, and we’ve only had a half-a-dozen conversations over the last ten years… We’ve always gotten along with those guys, and we’ve never had anything but high praise for everything that they’ve done.” Gilroy went on to emphasize that the success of modern Star Wars Disney+ content—particularly The Mandalorian—is the very reason Andor was able to exist in the first place. “We only have our show because of them, and we’ve always said that was true….
