The next season of Din and Grogu adventures is nearly upon us and The Mandalorian’s season three official trailer promises both a bigger galaxy and the continued focus on the growing father/son dynamic of the unlikely duo. The outsized focus on those two doesn’t mean we get some glimpses of new places or storylines, as a Carson Teva sighting comes with ominous warnings, more Grogu Order 66 flashbacks to come, and B1 battle droids chilling…at a droid bar?! March 1 is closing in, so head below for some screenshots from the new trailer, including the small extra footage in the Disney+ version!

Final The Bad Batch Season Two Trailer Arrives
With less than a month until its premiere, season two of The Bad Batch got its final trailer. While it contains quite a few things we’ve seen in Celebration Anaheim trailer (more Gungi is never a bad thing!!), it offers some new scenes with Commander Cody, Crosshair, Bail Organa, new characters, and hints at many of the adventures the team will go on in its second season, though it makes it clear not even a slight delay lead to them even considering fixing the whitewashing concerns fans have been so vocal about. The 16-episode season premieres with two episodes on January 4, 2023, and will close out on a two-part finale on March 29. Find the full episode title list, new poster, and some images below the cut!

News: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Trailer, Jedi Battle Scars Cover Revealed, The Mandalorian S3 Premieres March 1
While we are primarily a Star Wars blog, Lucasfilm does more than Star Wars (I’m going to start watching the Willow show soon), the mynocks would never let me not mention Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny had its first trailer today (which you can watch below the cut). Back to Star Wars, the upcoming novel Jedi: Battle Scars by Sam Maggs had its full cover revealed and a blurb with intriguing new details, along with a confirmed release date of March 7. The fun doesn’t end there, as on March 1, and overlapping with The Bad Batch’s second season, The Mandalorian’s third season premieres. Head below for the new Battle Scars details and its full cover!

The Acolyte Cast Announced, Synopsis Revealed
Not only are there great Star Wars TV shows already available to watch, but there are plenty more on their way. One of my most anticipated, especially since it ties into the stellar The High Republic initiative, is The Acolyte. The official site provided an update on the show, revealing it not only started production in the UK, but also confirmed rumors and revealed some surprising new cast members to join Amandla Stenberg! Head below for the full list and a neat little behind-the-scenes shot! Continue reading “The Acolyte Cast Announced, Synopsis Revealed”
D23 ’22: Tales of the Jedi and Mandalorian S3 Trailers, Bad Batch S2 Out January ’23, and More!
The D23 Expo in 2022 had a few gifts for Star Wars fans, bringing trailers for Tales of the Jedi (see above!) and The Mandalorian‘s third season to the public after holding them hostage back at Celebration Anaheim ’22, a new trailer for the imminent premiere of Andor, The Bad Batch season 2 pushed from the fall to January 2023, our first glimpse at the Jude Law-led Skeleton Crew, and even the initial concepts for the heroes of The High Republic-set Young Jedi Adventures animated show! Head below for the other new trailers and other details, like the recent casting news (not officially confirmed at D23) for the Ahsoka show!

New Andor Trailer Wows, Premiering Sept 21 Now With 3 Episodes
My initial reaction is laden with expletives, because holy mynocks is that a brilliant full trailer for Andor! I love what they’ve managed to do with the Volume to shoot most of the other shows (and can’t wait to see how they continue to use it), but Andor filmed for a long time on a lot of sets and it’s clear from this trailer how visually stunning that’s helped make this show. It looks like another Star Wars movie, but this time on the small screen via Disney+! While it’s disappointing the show’s been delayed until September 21 for its premiere, bringing with it three-episodes instead, I think this trailer shows why it’s going to be way worth that wait. Since I last covered Andor at the Lucasfilm Showcase Panel, while we knew the two season show would take place 5 years prior to Rogue One and lead right into it, it’s since been revealed season 1 will take place over a year, while every three episodes of season two will cover a year, taking us up to the film; it’s a gutsy idea and I can’t wait to see how it’s handled, especially since season one looks so incredible already. Head below for character names and a slick new poster! UPDATE: Here’s our review of the series’ three episode premiere; follow along here for more reviews as the series airs!

Star Wars: Visions Panel – Volume 2 Confirmed 2023 (SWCA 2022)
Star Wars: Visions was a special project when it dropped in 2021, bringing us 9 unique visions of Star Wars through anime studio’s own ideas and sensibilities, managing to capture that Star Wars feel in a whole new package. For many, it was a gateway into anime, not anime fans it was the perfect marriage of two things they really love. It was just cool overall to see Japanese studios allowed to do their own thing in the universe, so having a panel to look back at the process of making it is such a great idea and a wonderful way to honor the work the various teams brought to the small screen. Thankfully, the first volume of stories isn’t the end of the concept of Visions, as a Volume 2 has been announced for Spring 2023! Head below for more details, like which cultures we’ll see represented with the new teams, and some glimpses of the upcoming Art Of book!

The Bad Batch Season 2 Panel (SWCA 2022)
Talk about an exciting and thrilling trailer! The Bad Batch is making a gloriously large return this fall, if the trailer is anything to go by, as it even elicited an audible gasp with the return of Jedi Padawan Gungi the Wookiee, while the updated armor is a fun change and the lush animation is hard to look away from. We’ll explore some other details and the questions which arise around Gungi’s return below, but I have to start by covering how unfortunately, while the rest of the clones look to be animated darker like their Māori ancestor, Temuera Morrison aka Jango Fett, the Bad Batch themselves have not been fixed regardless of fan outcry and their initial acknowledgment of the problem (and while the rest of the clones are looking more appropriate, now it means the darker-skinned characters are the ‘villains’), so I don’t believe they ever intended to truly address this issue and it’s a damn shame.

Tales of the Jedi Panel: First Details, Ahsoka, Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn And More Confirmed (SWCA 2022)
The newest animation project is Tales of the Jedi, which will consist of 6 tone-poem like episodes focused on two very different characters: Ahsoka Tano and Dooku! Like most panels at Celebration Anaheim 2022, it wasn’t streamed to the general audience and the trailer wasn’t released either, while attendees also got to watch one of the Ahsoka episodes! After seeing a cellphone recording of the trailer and reading through a few live-tweets of the panel, it certainly looks to be an exciting and unique idea, which I hope can be expanded on to include more episodes, more eras, and more characters! Tales of the Jedi will premiere Fall 2022 (so maybe after Andor, just before The Bad Batch season 2?), but head below for some details and images! Continue reading “Tales of the Jedi Panel: First Details, Ahsoka, Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn And More Confirmed (SWCA 2022)”
Mando+ Panel: More Season 3 Details, Ahsoka Footage, Sabine Wren Casting Confirmed, and More! (SWCA 2022)
As was the case for the weekend, Mando+, a panel about The Mandalorian Season 3 and ended up including Ahsoka details and first footage, wasn’t screened to the public. In fact, there was a longer version of The Mandalorian S3 teaser from the opening day panel that invitees got to see, alongside the Ahsoka footage, but unfortunately we couldn’t even see the cast and crew together talking about their experiences. So thanks to some live tweets and reporting from those who were there, and some grainy Ahsoka footage I was able to see before it was taken down, let’s explore some of the reveals and details below. The Mandalorian returns February ’23 and Ahsoka sometime later that year. Continue reading “Mando+ Panel: More Season 3 Details, Ahsoka Footage, Sabine Wren Casting Confirmed, and More! (SWCA 2022)”
