May the Force be with YOU…. Always!
More info has emerged regarding Adam Driver’s rejected script for “The Hunt for Ben Solo” and we take a look at all the newest details, including more fan reaction. With The Mandalorian and Grogu hitting theaters next year, and Ahsoka season two also making its debut in 2026, we review the latest production updates, along with interview highlights from stars Jeremy Allen White and Sigourney Weaver. Plus, be sure to stick around to the end of the show as we reveal some hot rumors regarding the animated series Darth Maul: Shadow Lord, the resurrection of Rogue Squadron, and behind-the-scenes info about James Mangold’s involvement in the franchise.

STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER will go in front of cameras later this year and we have fresh casting info, rumors and speculation about this upcoming film starring Ryan Gosling. Mark Hamill is on a media tour to promote his new film “The Life Of Chuck” but that doesn’t stop interviewers from asking him about his Star Wars history.

We also have fresh interview highlights from Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy, Bail Organa actor Benjamin Bratt, and Sam Witwer, who talks about the upcoming series, MAUL: SHADOW LORD.

Ahsoka has been a bit of a bridge character for Lucasfilm in recent years. The once-young Jedi made the jump to live-action in The Mandalorian, directly connecting The Clone Wars with this new era of Disney+ streaming. Now, though the character will get a series of her own in the upcoming Ahsoka.
The Rosario Dawson-led streaming project will serve as a sequel series to Rebels, bringing that series’ set of characters into live action for the very first time. The show is supposedly coming soon with a first look having been shown off at the D23 Fan Expo in September.
But with Dawson taking on the role of Ahsoka in live-action, some are asking whether Jedi’s original voice actor Ashley Eckstein will be a part of the series in any way….
With the Multiverse Saga introducing a whole new era of heroes and villains to the MCU, Hollywood talent is constantly signing on for major Marvel roles. Phase 4 has already brought plenty of A-list talent into the fold, including several actors from Disney’s next biggest franchise, Star Wars, such as Oscar Isaac, Alden Ehrenreich, and Richard E. Grant.
Now, fans have begun speculating which other Star Wars actors may be up for Marvel roles, with Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Adam Driver all having had their names thrown around. Over the years there have been various rumors pointing to each of these stars joining the MCU such as Ridley for Spider-Woman or Driver in an unknown role, but Boyega is the latest name to enter the fold.
Recently, reports circulated to suggest the sequel trilogy’s Finn actor had filmed scenes for a Marvel project in secret, but sadly, Boyega has put those rumors to rest.
In a recent interview with Screen Rant, actor Cameron Monaghan, who portrayed the young Jedi Cal Kestis in the video game Jedi: Fallen Order, fired up the rumors about a possible jump to live-action for his character.
While promoting his new project Paradise Highway, the actor was asked about a possible live-action appearance of Cal, and he said:
“Well of course there’s interest. That’s about all I can say. [Laughs]”
It’s a bit unclear if he means he is interested in it, or if Lucasfilm is interested in it, but judging from the second sentence, it could potentially be the latter. We should keep in mind, though, that the actor probably had to sign a lot of NDAs that would prevent him from even addressing this question if there were no plans for a Cal Kestis series…
