Jude Law Honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The actor behind Jod Na Nawood was celebrated during the ceremony in Los Angeles Thursday.

By Kelly Knox

What do a renowned professor of wizardry, a haughty alien commander, the sidekick to the world’s most famous detective, a king of England, and a clever pirate captain in a galaxy far, far away all have in common?

They’re all portrayed with passion and natural charm by celebrated actor Jude Law.

Law, who stars in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew as the wily Jod Na Nawood, was honored Thursday morning at the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Awarded in the category of Motion Pictures, Law’s star is the 2,798th to adorn the Los Angeles landmark. Law joins fellow Star Wars stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Ewan McGregor, and The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau as honorees on the world-famous Walk of Fame. Law’s friends and family were on hand at the unveiling in Hollywood….

In the latest installment, Jod and the children make their escape and find an old friend on a distant moon

By StarWars.com Team

Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) is proving himself to be quite useful, if rather un-Jedi-like in his methods. That’s probably because, at least according to one former colleague, he’s actually the pirate Captain Silvo. Or is he Crimson Jack?

Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), KB (Kyriana Kratter), and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) will have to untangle who they can really trust before it’s too late. But an Observatory Moon provides some clues to get them back home and help them find an ally in the wider galaxy….

Class is In Session

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The youngest stars of the latest Star Wars series on Disney+ are eager to introduce Wim, Fern, KB, and Neel and welcome you to their motley crew.

By Kristin Baver

When Star Wars: Skeleton Crew co-creators Jon Watts and Chris Ford set out to put together their crew of young stars, they knew each actor would have to bring a unique set of skills to the ensemble.

For Wim, they cast Ravi Cabot-Conyers, who brought energy and heart to Antonio Madrigal in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Academy Award-winning film Encanto. In the Star Wars galaxy, Cabot-Conyers imbues his character with wide-eyed wonder and a love for adventure.

They found their Fern in Ryan Kiera Armstrong, who started acting at the age of six and has been cast in several feature films as well as the first lead young actor in the FX series American Horror Story as Alma Gardner, which earned her an Emmy nomination. As Fern, Armstrong brings a maturity to the group of young adventurers, with a wisdom beyond her years….

About that Circus Hologram

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Co-creators Jon Watts and Chris Ford talk about paying homage to The Star Wars Holiday Special-inspired sequence in their new live-action series.

By Pete Vilmur

Amid the thrills and adventure of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’s exciting first episode, one scene summoned a deep-seated memory among some Star Wars fans, a memory that beckons from a very long time ago and far, far away.

When Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers) finds Neel’s (Robert Timothy Smith) siblings sitting around their home’s holo-table, viewers might recognize the flamboyantly-dressed performers in the holographic circus troupe, and perhaps the music that accompanies their dancing, juggling, and tumbling act. Yes, this is the same holographic circus performance seen in 1978’s The Star Wars Holiday Special….

Who Arrrrr the Pirates in the New Republic?

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Never trust a pirate.

By Kelly Knox

Scoundrel. Scoun-drel?

Sure, it’s cute when Han Solo says it in that flirty voice of his. But no one likes the sound of that word when they cross paths with an unscrupulous pirate in the galaxy far, far away!

With big personalities matched only by their greed, the pirates running rampant in the New Republic typically have no qualms about taking advantage of anyone and anything in their way. You’re probably already acquainted with some of them, like Gorian Shard and Vane.

Soon we’ll have even more names to add to that list, like Gunter, Brutus, and SM-33 (played by Nick Frost). Before we meet these spacefaring scalawags in the upcoming Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, let’s take a closer look at the pirates who have already crossed paths with some of the galaxy’s greatest heroes.

Nick Frost Brings Levity to the Adventure

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Learn how Ratatouille helped inspire the actor’s take on our new favorite Star Wars droid from the series premiering on Disney+ December 3.

By Kristin Baver

Nick Frost’s love for Star Wars began long before he was cast as the voice of SM-33, a rusty pirate droid with a few wires loose.

In the summer of 1977, Frost and his cousin spent their weekends perusing the toy shelves of a local store in their Welsh village having just discovered the galaxy far, far away. “My auntie Sandra would take me and my cousin to a little shop where they sold Star Wars figures and on Saturdays, we were allowed to buy one figure each,” Frost recalls. “That was our life — and not just for a summer. I mean, [Star Wars] was just my whole life for 10 years. Even now, I still feel exactly the same way. Certain pieces of music take me back in time and I know that picture of Luke Skywalker in front of the twin suns as well as I know photographs of my family. It is ingrained in me.”

With the two-episode premiere of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew on Disney+ December 3, we’ll meet Jude Law’s Jod and the rest of the crew on an all-new Star Wars adventure. Today, Frost pulls back the curtain on voicing surly SM-33 before you get to see him in action….

Jude Law Would Like to Introduce You to Jod

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The star of the Star Wars series premiering on Disney+ December 3 shares his journey from playful blaster battles in his backyard to becoming the latest mysterious rogue in the galaxy.

By Kristin Baver

As a kid, pretending to act out Star Wars adventures in his backyard or on the school playground, Jude Law gravitated toward the role of Han Solo. “There was a sort of shrug to Han Solo that I always loved, a slight cynicism,” he tells StarWars.com. So, it’s no surprise that as he enters the galaxy as Jod Na Nawood in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, he’s bringing some of that same swagger and charm to the role coupled with inspiration from another original trilogy icon: Luke Skywalker. “There was an obvious purity to Skywalker,” he adds. “I really wanted to try and combine all those things.”

With the two-episode premiere on Disney+ December 3, we’ll meet Jod and the rest of the crew on an all-new Star Wars adventure. Today, Law tells us all about becoming a Star Wars fan and as much as he can share about his enigmatic new character before you get to see him in action….

Giacchino Joins Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The son of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story composer Michael Giacchino brings his own vision to the score of the next Disney+ Star Wars series.

By Kristin Baver

When composer Mick Giacchino first got the call to write the score for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the new live-action series debuting on Disney+ December 3, it was a pinch-me moment to work on a franchise he’s loved since childhood. “I wanted to ensure that this was a show where you get to really put yourself in these characters’ shoes because most of us grew up with Star Wars and our dreams were to be those kids and blast off on some adventure,” he tells StarWars.com. “I’m still pinching myself about it. It’s so exciting!”

One of the only people he told, prior to this announcement, was his father. Acclaimed composer Michael Giacchino had worked with series creators Jon Watts and Chris Ford on the Spider-Man franchise as well as scoring Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, so he had some sound advice from his own experience. “From the beginning, he said, essentially, ‘Just remember to have fun with it,’ especially given the nature of the show. He was very supportive,” Mick recalls….

New details about Season 2 were revealed at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, where the audience also got a first look at footage from Skeleton Crew and a sizzle for The Mandalorian and Grogu!

By StarWars.com Team

B2EMO has been studying up since we last saw the little droid in Andor Season 1.

At the first D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Brasil today, the groundmech rolled onstage and spoke Portuguese during the Showcase Panel segment announcing that Andor: A Star Wars Story Season 2 will premiere April 22, 2025, with a new logo for the ongoing series.

While Season 1 followed a year in Cassian Andor’s life set about five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the forthcoming episodes will bridge the remaining gap. Covering four years told in three-episode arcs, Andor Season 2 follows Cassian as he evolves into a leader for the emerging Rebel Alliance. Cassian may have been a reluctant hero before, but the Andor we’ll meet next year is fueled by a higher purpose in the fight for freedom against the Empire….

Ready for Their Own Pirate Adventure

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The filmmakers behind the next Star Wars series are excited to introduce a story of secret treasure and curious kids for anyone who’s up for a journey into the stars.

By Kristin Baver

Seeking advice on casting his squad of young actors for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, creator Jon Watts looked to the longtime film and television director who had brought together The Goonies: the late Richard Donner.

It was just a few weeks before Donner passed in 2021. “And he said the smartest thing, which was when you’re looking at a 10-year-old kid, you’re not [just] casting an actor to play a role,” Watts recalls. “You’re looking for someone that embodies the spirit of the character. So that’s what was always in the back of my mind.”

The story of Skeleton Crew, set in the era of the New Republic, carries forward much of the same heart and sense of adventure inherent in The Goonies and other stories of the era, including the classic LucasArts game Monkey Island, Amblin Entertainment’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones franchise. “It’s the story of kids who happen to live on what they think of as a boring planet,” says series co-creator Chris Ford. But as they go on this adventure, finding their way back quickly becomes complicated. “Unfortunately, along the way they attract the attention of a bunch of pirates and other space criminals.”…

Phantom at 25 | Iain McCaig Talks Darth Maul

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Concept and storyboard artist Iain McCaig was among the first to join Episode I’s art department and played a central role in designing many iconic characters.

By Lucas Seastrom

In 1995, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) was still two years from starting principal photography and four years from release, but Lucasfilm’s art department at Skywalker Ranch was well underway creating designs and concepts for the innumerable characters, locations, and vehicles in the film. This included a new villain: Darth Maul.

“George [Lucas] just came up and said, ‘Darth Maul, he’s our new Sith Lord,’ and he walked away,” recalls artist Iain McCaig, who by that point had been working primarily on hero characters. “I didn’t know if Maul was male or female, an alien, anything. It freaked me out at the beginning that I didn’t get much direction. Then I realized that maybe he picked me because he liked my work and wanted me to show him what I thought a Darth Maul might look like. George clearly enjoys reacting to visuals. One of his many skills is that he can look at fifty things, make choices, move things around, take a head from this character and put it on the body of that one over there, and suddenly, it’s Star Wars. We learned to trust him and also to trust ourselves.”…

From Jyn Erso to Emperor Palpatine, cosplayers at New York Comic-Con shared their love for Star Wars on the convention floor this weekend.

By Paige Lyman

New York Comic-Con 2024 is in full swing and we’ve already spotted a host of Star Wars cosplayers including Padmé Amidalas, stormtroopers, and Dark Side favorites like Kylo Ren, Darth Vader, and the Stranger roaming the convention halls.

Here are just a few of our favorite cosplays and the stories behind their Star Wars journey to NYCC

Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla

Joy and Raphael, a couple from Florida, brought their shared love of Star Wars Rebels to NYCC as Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus respectively. Though Raphael had seen the animated series before, the two watched it together during an important point in their relationship and got an early head start on their cosplays.

“We started putting together the cosplays before I started watching the show,” Joy says laughing. “We thrifted a lot. Sewing stuff, gluing this, cutting that, and then waiting.”

The two have been cosplaying as Kanan and Hera for about six months and they’ve received encouraging reactions each time. “People love it,” Raphael says. “It’s fun. And I’ve been building on it every time. It helps with my stress and everything. As we all do, in our normal lives, we need an outlet for something.”…

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Star Wars Rebels

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the series premiere, revisit the resilient rebels with some behind-the-scenes trivia.

By Kelly Knox

Star Wars fans met Kanan Jarrus (Spectre-1), Hera Syndulla (Spectre-2), Chopper (Spectre-3), Zeb Orrelios (Spectre-4), Sabine Wren (Spectre-5), and Ezra Bridger (Spectre-6) when Star Wars Rebels made its explosive debut with “Spark of Rebellion” on October 3, 2014. Co-created by Dave Filoni, Carrie Beck, and Simon Kinberg, audiences joined the Ghost crew in their adventures during the early days of the Rebellion. Whether you laughed and cried week to week as each episode aired for the next four years, or you experienced their journey all at once on Disney+, there’s still a few things you probably don’t know about your favorite found family.

For example, you probably know that Zeb was based on an early sketch of Chewbacca by Ralph McQuarrie.

You might even know that the brave and beleaguered Imperial inventory droid AP-5 is named after Lucasfilm Animation’s Athena Portillo.

But did you know the World Between Worlds was inspired by C.S. Lewis’s “Wood Between Worlds” from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew? Or that Commander Jun Sato’s name is an homage to director Jun Fukuda and composer Masaru Sato of the 1974 film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla?…

Star Wars Celebration Japan Badge Art – Reveal

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Meet the artist, TAKUMI, and get a sneak peek of the first five characters: Ahsoka, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and the Mandalorian and Grogu

By Pete Vilmur

Star Wars Celebration badges have provided a distinct opportunity to present a broad range of Star Wars characters with a unique artistic vision, a tradition stretching back to the first Celebration in 1999. While the badges are, of course, necessary to enter Star Wars Celebration’s doors, they often become prized keepsakes long after the excitement of new friends, rare moments, and first reveals have receded into memory.

With Star Wars Celebration Japan quickly approaching, StarWars.com can now reveal the first five pieces of character art that will be presented on the event badges, masterfully illustrated in the ukiyo-e style — a tradition of Japanese art that thrived in the 17th to 19th centuries — by Japanese artist TAKUMI. Born in the northern region of Hokkaido, TAKUMI began his career as an illustrator after winning the “Weekly Shonen JUMP” Rookie Award in 2012, and has since worked on official merchandise designs for several artists and in Japanese anime. TAKUMI has a deep interest in the modern iteration of ukiyo-e and has created official promotional art in that genre for Marvel’s Thor: Love & Thunder and Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian season three….

James Earl Jones: 1931-2024

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The actor who gave Darth Vader his iconic voice has passed away.

By StarWars.com Team

Everyone at Lucasfilm was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of James Earl Jones at the age of 93. For over four decades, the stage and screen actor lent his voice to the role of Darth Vader in the Star Wars saga.

“James Earl Jones is one of the most versatile and talented actors of our time, with an iconic body of work across film, stage and television,” says Kathleen Kennedy. “The menacing baritone he brought to Darth Vader will forever be beloved by fans and regarded as one of the great villainous performances in cinema. His commanding presence on screen, and warm personality off screen, will be greatly missed.”

“James was an incredible actor, a most unique voice both in art and spirit,” says George Lucas. “For nearly half a century he was Darth Vader, but the secret to it all is he was a beautiful human being. He gave depth, sincerity and meaning to all his roles, amongst the most important being a devoted husband to the late Ceci and dad to Flynn. James will be missed by so many of us…friends and fans alike.”…
