Arjona Confirms Her Character Will Return For S2

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Besides Cassian and Mon Mothma, and a few cameos (see Saw Gerrera), Andor will include mostly new characters. One of them is Cassian’s childhood friend and love interest, Bix Caleen, played by Adria Arjona. Bix and Cassian are both living in his adopted homeworld, Ferrix, right before the Empire arrives. Bix has appeared in a few scenes of the trailers, but we’ve always seen her in the same setting (Ferrix), which led to speculation that she might not make it out alive of the first three episodes. Apparently, that might not be the case.

In a new interview with Collider, Arjona confirmed that her character will indeed return for the second season of the show, and said she has already discussed some details with showrunner Tony Gilroy…

A Daring Rescue

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Amanda Deibert and Dark Horse Comics launched the first issue in a new series titled Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories. A story for all ages, this series will bounce around the various eras of the Star Wars universe and deliver some new exciting tales.

This first issue, set in the Clone Wars-era, with none other than Anakin and Obi-Wan leading a rescue of Padmé when a diplomatic mission turns trap. While we have seen episodes, comics, and many other stories of this same vein, it’s still a perfect way to kick off Hyperspace Stories. While certainly designed for a younger audience, Deibert provides a comic all ages of Star Wars will undoubtedly be able to derive some enjoyment from. Let’s get into it….

‘Andor’ IMAX Preview Makes Its Way Online

Here’s the latest from: SWNn

Yesterday night, Lucasfilm rereleased Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as part of a week-long event done to promote the upcoming release of the Disney Plus prequel series Andor. Now, the ten-minute preview accompanying the film has made its way online.

The IMAX preview was made up of a behind-the-scenes clip discussing the setting and characters that will be part of this grittier Star Wars narrative, followed by a clip showcasing a conversation between Cassian and Luthen (a snippet of which can be seen here) along with a subsequent action scene, before ending with the most recent trailer for the series.

Speculation: Will Sabine Wren Appear In ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3?

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

First introduced in Star Wars: Rebels, the character of Sabine Wren is about to make the jump to live-action. As reported by Deadline in November 2021 and confirmed by Lucasfilm at Star Wars Celebration, Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Day Shift, Netflix’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) will play the part in the upcoming Ahsoka series. However, there are a few hints that could indicate the character will be introduced to audiences a few months earlier, when The Mandalorian season 3 comes out in February 2023.

Story-wise, it makes complete sense. Sabine was the one that gifted the Darksaber to Bo-Katan in Star Wars: Rebels, before she ultimately led her country to the Night of a Thousand Tears. In The Mandalorian season 2, she already showed a great deal of regret for deciding to accept the gift, so revisiting that moment in the third season would line up perfectly. From the way season 2 ended and the trailer that was shown at Celebration, we know that Bo-Katan’s ambition to win back the Darksaber in combat will play a major role in season 3. We also know that we are going to see a lot of Mandalorians during the season, and with Dave Filoni slowly bringing more of the animated characters he created into the show, it adds up. Ahsoka’s episode in season 2 will be looked back on as a backdoor pilot for Ahsoka, so it would make sense to have at least another setup for the spin-off show in the third season, which will end just a few weeks before Ahsoka starts airing….

‘Andor’ Is The Most Grounded ‘Star Wars’ Can Get

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

New interviews with the cast and crew of the upcoming series Andor are teasing a more realistic Star Wars show than usual. The series will deal with the formation of the Rebel Alliance leading up to the Battle of Scarif and subsequently the Battle of Yavin, but ultimately, it will be a series about the people that formed the Rebellion.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Diego Luna was asked what Andor will explore that the rest of the Star Wars Disney Plus slate hasn’t. The actor responded:

“I wouldn’t say it that way. What I would say is that Andor is the most grounded Star Wars you’ll get. This is about the people. There’s no Jedi around, and it’s very dark times in the galaxy. It’s when the people have to come together, articulate a response, and work in communities because the Empire is growing and control is everywhere. People have been marginalized, and there’s no freedom. You have these communities having to react. It’s the most human that the experience of Star Wars can get. This Star Wars is about regular people like you and me, and I think that connection is going to be special. It’s the most realistic—if you can say realistic, because obviously, they live in a galaxy far, far away. But it should feel realistic to you, because we want that proximity. We want you to reflect [on] yourself with these characters on this journey.”…

Tony Gilroy Explains How ‘Andor’ Went From Five Seasons To Two

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Details are a bit fuzzy at this point, but we know Diego Luna got the call from Tony Gilroy explaining the outline at some point in mid-2019, as the actor told Vanity Fair earlier this year, and he was instantly on board. (Bob Iger, Disney’s CEO at the time, had confirmed in late 2018 that Luna would be back in the role, when Schiff was still attached.) The series was reworked from the ground up, and it was originally going to run for five seasons, each one covering one year of Cassian’s life, leading to his introduction in Rogue One. However, after being in production of season 1 for two years, Gilroy realized that he couldn’t possibly do that four more times. He said:

“You just couldn’t possibly physically make five years of the show. I mean, Diego would be, like, 65. I’d be in a nursing home. We were panicked. We can’t sign on to this forever.”

His solution was simple but elegant. Instead of making four more seasons, Gilroy decided to crunch the outline for each season into a three-episode arc and make another twelve episodes that are essentially season 2. He borrowed the idea from the model they had already used for season 1, where each block of three episodes constitutes a singular story arc. Star Wars: The Clone Wars fans should already be used to this. He explained it to The Playlist as follows…

‘The Bad Batch’ Season 2 No Longer Releasing On September 28

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Disney has released a list with all the content arriving on Disney Plus in September, including four episodes of Andor. Missing, however, is the upcoming season 2 of The Bad Batch, which the streamer accidentally revealed earlier this summer would start airing September 28. Neither Disney nor Lucasfilm ever announced this date on social media or through a press release.

There is no cause for panic, however, as Disney Plus probably wanted more space between Andor and The Bad Batch after they delayed the former a few weeks (it will have its three-episode premiere on September 21). A release date sometime in October or November is highly likely, and depending on how many episodes season 2 has, it could nicely bridge the gap between Andor and The Mandalorian, which returns with its third season in February 2023. A trailer for the new adventures of Hunter, Echo, Wrecker, Omega, and the rest of the gang debuted at Star Wars Celebration in late May, though no specific launch date was given.

Here is the current list of programs set for release on September 28, via the recently released Disney Plus schedule….

‘Knights Of The Old Republic’ Remake Confirmed To Be Shifting Studios To Saber Interactive

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

It’s now been confirmed that the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is in the hands of Saber Interactive after it faced development issues at Aspyr Media.

Last month, it was revealed that the Knights of the Old Republic – Remake game was being postponed indefinitely after representatives of Sony and Disney determined that the dev team on that project bit off more than they could chew, producing results that weren’t deemed satisfactory for that point in development on a tight time-table. The video game has been in the pipeline for approximately two years, and it was initially expected to be ready as soon as late 2022 or early 2023. More recently, official buzz confirmed that a new developer took over the project, albeit without a confirmation on who this new developer would be.

Bloomberg has been able to confirm that Saber Interactive, owned by Aspyr Media’s parent company, Embracer Group, will be the ones taking over development on the ambitious remake of the ground-breaking 2003 RPG from BioWare. The group was already working on the remake to assist their sister company, and now it seems as though they are making the transition to fully take over the project….

Claudia Gray Thinks A Sequel To ‘Lost Stars’ Will Happen Eventually

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Seven years after it was released, Claudia Gray’s Lost Stars continues to be mentioned in conversations about Star Wars novels. Regarded as one of the best in new canon, it followed Ciena and Thane as a young couple that lived through the events of the original trilogy from both sides of the Galactic Civil War. On September 4, the book will have its 7th anniversary and Gray still believes a follow up to the popular love story will happen.

During a Q&A session at Emerald City Comic Con (hat tip to r/StarWarsLeaks), Claudia Gray was asked about whether or not we will get a sequel, to which the author responded:

”I firmly believe it’s gonna happen someday – we just have to see what lines up with their publishing schedules but I hear good things from them … I think it’s gonna happen.“…

‘Andor’: What We Know About The Story And How The Series Came To Be

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

We are less than a month away from the release of Andor, the new Star Wars live-action series centered around the title character that was first introduced in Rogue One. The series will also depict how the Rebel Alliance was formed in the five years leading up to the mission to steal the Death Star plans, and will include characters like Mon Mothma and Saw Gerrera.

Tony Gilroy is the series’ showrunner and main writer. As he revealed at Star Wars Celebration in May, Andor will be two seasons long, with the first year capturing the events of the first year in the aforementioned timeline, and the second season, the remaining four years. In his own words:

“The series is a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It rewinds back five years from the events of Rogue One to follow Cassian Andor on his journey to get to the movie. We’ve done twelve episodes for the first season. The twelve episodes that we’ve done cover one year in time. We’re going to do another twelve that are going to take us over the next four years into Rogue One.”

Both Gilroy and lead actor Diego Luna have said multiple times over the past couple of months that the second and final season will lead us directly into the events of the movie, possibly hinting that the final scene in the show could see Cassian in the moments right before he’s introduced in the movie. “The final scene will walk you into Rogue One,” Gilroy said at Celebration….

Pre-Orders For Physical Copies of ‘KOTOR II’ Have Started

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Fans of the classic Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic RPG series received some bad news recently when it was reported that the upcoming remake of the original 2003 game had been delayed indefinitely. The series’ short-term prospects have started to look up with the news that another studio has taken over the remake’s development, but the last month has been a rough ride for KOTOR devotees nonetheless.

Thankfully, Limited Run Games is forging ahead with its physical re-releases of old Star Wars gaming hits, and has opened pre-orders for Obsidian’s beloved Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, which was recently touched up by Aspyr. From now until 11:59 PM Eastern Time on October 2, 2022, you can place a pre-order for either a PC or Nintendo Switch copy of the acclaimed sequel….

‘Andor’ | Kyle Soller Praises Tony Gilroy’s Writing

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Total Film Magazine has released a brand-new image from the upcoming Star Wars series Andor that features Kyle Soller as Syril Karn and Kathryn Hunter (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) as Syril’s mother, Eedy Karn. Syril is an officer of the Imperial Security Bureau who has a “possessive” obsession with Cassian Andor, as Soller recently told SFX Magazine.

In addition to debuting the new image, Total Film also had a brief interview with the actor, who clarified the relationship between his character and his mother:

“He doesn’t have a father. He was raised by his mother, who is sort of the stage mother from hell. He has an extreme sense of need to impress, and fill a hole in himself. And so that really is about ascending to the top of whatever field he’s in. The field he’s chosen is one of restriction and complete control, and one of domination. I think we’ve been able to thread that through with the scenes that Syril has with his mother.”…

‘Andor’: Tony Gilroy On How The Structure For Season 2 Is Perfect For Television

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Total Film Magazine had the chance to talk briefly with Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy about the plans for season 2, and with Diego Luna, who is over the moon about the show. In addition, the magazine also released two new images from the first season, which will debut its first three episodes September 21st on Disney Plus.

First, Gilroy reiterated what he said at Star Wars Celebration about the overall structure of the show. Andor will be two seasons, the first season covering the year 5 BBY, that is, five years before the events of Rogue One, and the second season covering the 4 years in between season 1 and the movie. As Gilroy told Total Film, the second season will be structured in blocks of three episodes, each one covering each of those four years:

“We have four blocks of three [episodes] coming up [for season 2]. And each block will move you one year closer to Rogue One. And because it’s a year [each time], we can do something really fascinating narratively that you would never have the chance to do in a film. It’s exciting.”…

‘Star Wars Visions’ Executive Producer Addresses Decision To Take Volume 2 Of The Series Global

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Last year, Star Wars Visions decided to take the galaxy far, far away into the realm of anime, but the next volume of shorts will be bringing in talent from around the world.

At Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022, it was officially confirmed that Star Wars Visions would be going forward with a new set of shorts developed by animators from not just Japan, but also the United States, Chile, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, South Africa, India, and South Korea.

Filoni Feels Responsible To Preserve And Continue Lucas’ Philosophy

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

During Star Wars Celebration, Entertainment Weekly had the chance to sit down with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, and the outlet recently released the video from that discussion. They talked about how the work they are doing on Disney Plus is extending the legacy of Star Wars and what George Lucas created, and how Filoni has become Lucas’ heir at the company, essentially growing into a Jedi master himself.

Filoni started by saying how the entire lineup of Star Wars shows for Disney Plus is so different in tone, and how that speaks volumes to how malleable the Star Wars franchise is while its core values are still kept intact:

“We love seeing the development of all these series, you know? From the new show we are doing with Jon Watts, Skeleton Crew, but when you look at Andor, you look at Obi-Wan, you look at Mando, you look at Boba… They all do have a different feeling and a different tone, and I think that’s remarkable and really speaks to the serialized nature of Star Wars and how it can be a very flexible galaxy. I mean, it is a galaxy, so there are so many stories to tell and it’s exciting for that.”…

Ming-Na Wen Hoping For ‘Book Of Boba Fett’ Season 2

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Ming-Na Wen is hopeful for another season of The Book of Boba Fett, although she does not appear to have heard anything about one being in development.

At Fan Expo Boston, the actress was asked about her long career, from voice-over work in 1998’s Mulan to a leading role in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., before the conversation naturally shifted over to her work in the realm of Star Wars. Wen appeared to be optimistic about her Star Wars future, responding enthusiastically about where fans will see her next:

“Second season of The Book of Boba Fett, I hope! …I never count my chickens before they hatch, because in this business, you just never know. But, knock on wood, they’ll be announcing that soon.”

The wording on that seems ambiguous, as the statement implies that she does not know if more The Book of Boba Fett is on the horizon, though some might interpret it as a sign that they could announce another season….

Back in March, it was indicated by The Hollywood Reporter that Lloyd would appear in some kind of guest role for the third outing of the popular Star Wars show, albeit with no indication of what kind of character he might be playing. A fan recently brought up this question at Fanboy Expo Knoxville two Saturdays ago, to which he gave a pretty blunt reply saying that he can’t say anything and that he also doesn’t know anything:

‘Andor’ Main Theme To Have Different Variations Between Episodes, Says Tony Gilroy

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

Lucasfilm released earlier this month their production briefing on Andor, a 29-page document available to the press where they detail the most relevant aspects of everything and everyone involved with the upcoming Star Wars series on Disney Plus. In the document, the company confirmed that three-time Oscar nominee Nicholas Britell (Moonlight, Succession) is composing the music for the show.

Gilroy first explained how integral the music is to Star Wars, and how that carried over to Andor, though in new and unexpected ways

Reports on Britell joining Andor began circulating earlier this year, but it looks like he’s been attached for a long time. In the document, it is said that Britell and Gilroy have been working on the score for two years, long before it was time to get into the recording booth and, from the sound of things, even before filming started. However, as Gilroy explains, it looks like they needed the extra time

Andor will have a central theme, Gilroy said, though it will be slightly different from episode to episode…

Review: The Halcyon Journey Concludes With Halcyon Legacy #5

Here’s the latest from: SWNN

It’s time for one last adventure aboard the Halcyon with the fifth and final issue of the Halcyon Legacy arc. The galaxy’s premiere luxury star liner has gone through some harrowing ordeals in its time. Ranging from being boarded by the Nihil to a Maz Kanata-led heist, each issue has left its unique mark. The present-day storyline takes mostly a backseat to the adventures of the past, but each story serves its purpose. The previous issue was my favorite of the bunch, and I was left excited to see what might be done for the conclusion piece. While this issue has its moments, overall, I was left disappointed. This felt more like a giant Disney marketing plug than any of the previous issues and was hastily introduced to new characters. Because of the jarring introduction, the payoff of the issue didn’t feel entirely earned. Bossk graces the cover of the issue, and I was excited to see him have a strong presence, but he was gone in the blink of an eye. While being a bit of a mess it’s still a fun read. It may not be an issue to return to time and time again, but that doesn’t it is not worth your time.

Fans have once again discovered a new set of books that will be releasing as part of Star Wars: The Essential Legends Collection shortly after the arrival of Wave 4.

As discovered through Edelweiss, three new Essential Legends Collection books have been confirmed: Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void, Republic Commando: Hard Contact, and Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. The current release date for Wave 6 is set for April 25, 2023. These books are reprints of stories from the Star Wars Legends continuity with new cover art. For those of you who came onto Star Wars from about 2015 onwards, Legends is what was once referred to as the “Star Wars Expanded Universe”, and it comprises material made or actively developed prior to the Disney purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012. In 2014, Disney officially confirmed that they would only consider the first six movies of The Skywalker Saga, alongside The Clone Wars and the various projects tied to The Clone Wars Legacy, canonical, in order to give new storytellers creative freedom on new projects….

After celebrating Life Day in 2020 and getting scared by some terrifying tales last year, our main characters are now trying to relax and have some fun aboard (cue in Disney’s shameless plug of their expensive hotel) the Halcyon starcruiser.

Finn, afraid to lose his friends before they move on to their next adventure, tries to maximize their time together but quickly realizes that they are not all on the same boat. Poe wants to engage in all the activities he can get his hands on, while Rey just wants to sit by the pool and sleep it off. The group quickly disperses, and Finn, while looking for them, is visited by three Force ghosts who try to teach him three valuable lessons. They are Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Leia, and they each tell a story of a vacation they had had back in the day….
