Maul: Shadow Lord Animated Series Announced, Out 2026! (SWCJ 2025)

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

From The Clone Wars to Star Wars Rebels and The Bad Batch, it’s hard to believe we’ve only had 20 years of Lucasfilm Animation goodness, as the impact these shows have had on all aspects of the franchise grows every year. At Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025, a panel celebrated this milestone with a lovely tribute video, a very packed poster, a discussion with Dave Filoni, Athena Portillo, and David Collins, a screening of the first Asajj Ventress of the upcoming Tales of the Underworld series, and the big reveal: Maul: Shadow Lord is a brand-new series launching in 2026! We also got confirmation of the return of Young Jedi Adventures, with a new trailer! Head below for more! Continue reading “Maul: Shadow Lord Animated Series Announced, Out 2026! (SWCJ 2025)” →

Star Wars: Starfighter, Starring Ryan Gosling, Out 2027, New The Mandalorian and Grogu Details (SWCJ 2025)

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

While it was billed as The Mandalorian and Grogu panel, Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025’s first panel decided to start with a surprise: Shawn Levy’s rumored film was not only confirmed, but it’s star Ryan Gosling was brought on stage, the title Starfighter was revealed, and it’s next to go into production with a release date of May 28, 2027! It wasn’t all about Ken, as new behind-the-scenes photos were shared from Grogu’s Day Out, additional details, and footage was shown to attendees (you can find it if you know where to look), hyping up 2026’s film. Head below for all the particulars gleaned from the panel! Continue reading “Star Wars: Starfighter, Starring Ryan Gosling, Out 2027, New The Mandalorian and Grogu Details (SWCJ 2025)” →

Marvel Star Wars Comics Panel: Dark Droids Announced, Shaak Ti “Lives,” and More! (SWCE 2023)

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

Having just wrapped up Qi’ra’s big return trilogy in comics, the Marvel Star Wars comics panel at Celebration Europe set its sights on the future, diving into issues coming out in the next few months and revealed the next big crossover: Dark Droids! Even before things get crazy with the crossover, there looks to be a lot to enjoy, while the Aphra series gets even weirder and intriguing with the return of Shaak Ti (?!?!) and something called Starweird, while Older writing about Max Rebo sounds fitting and I can’t wait. As for Dark Droids, let’s just say what they showed and talked about put me at ease about another crossover event. Head below for covers, previews, and more!

The Bad Batch Panel: Final Season Out 2024, Fennec Shand Returns (SWCE 2023)

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

The Bad Batch panel was actually streaming on Celebration Live, so you can check out the whole thing, minus the exclusive trailer, after about like the first 5 minutes of the stream above. A lot of the panel was focused on Tech’s death, the themes of the season, the Zillo beast clone, and how beautiful the sushi looked. During it they announced a season three, though as I was guessing in my reviews, it’s also the show’s final season, coming out in 2024. The official site shared some details on the trailer only shown to fans, with Fennec Shan’s return shown, more big monsters, Palpatine on Tantiss, and even Commander Wolffe, among other things. Hopefully we’ll get to see some footage soon ourselves, but with it out in 2024, it might be awhile.

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

Day Three of Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 had two different publishing focused panels, starting with a full one just for Dark Horse‘s contributions and later one for Lucasfilm Publishing‘s own works, though both were a little light on announcements. Dark Horse focused on Jaxxon, as their upcoming Annual stars the hare-brained scoundrel (and writer Cavan Scott promised there will be more), and some upcoming The High Republic Adventures teases for Phase II and Phase III. Lucasfilm Publishing spent time revealing new pages from upcoming reference titles, announcing a new one all about Wookiees (!!), and of course more The High Republic content as well.

The High Republic Show Season Three Premiere: Phase II Reveals and Celebration London Hype

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

I can’t believe we’re on what’s being called the third season of The High Republic Show! Host Krystina Arielle is hilarious as ever, from the skit with the Yoda statue to her presence in interviews, it’s a blessing she’s still with the team. The first show of the season and the latest for Phase II does a great job catching up fans on what’s all happened so far, and while it has some interior sneak peek for upcoming content, it’s clear they are holding back a bit for the Celebration Europe panel in April. Head below for the new looks ahead. Continue reading “The High Republic Show Season Three Premiere: Phase II Reveals and Celebration London Hype” →
