We’re a little over a month out before Andor drops on Disney Plus! We have a great trailer breakdown for the show from our friends The Resistance Broadcast this week.
We also explore the discussion around an Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 (with Ewan McGregor offering his two cents), hype for The Mandalorian season 3, news surrounding The Acolyte casting, and more.
With many shows on the horizon, it’s tough to keep up-to-date on all of the news and info hitting us at lightspeed. That’s why we create this weekly guide to help you stay connected.
This week in Star Wars, we get a first look at some Marvel Star Wars comics, including the reveal of the Star Wars: Revelations #1, a special one-shot coming this fall; Chewbacca and BB-8 teach the basics of mindfulness with Find Your Force; and starwars.com gets a behind-the-scenes look at LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation. Plus, we take a trip to Skywalker Ranch to chat with some of the pioneers of special effects from Industrial Light & Magic about what films inspired their interest in working in production.

Taika Waititi has been popular this week. Between the release of his new Marvel film Thor: Love and Thunder and his tongue-in-cheek quotes, like joking about not knowing Natalie Portman was in Star Wars (which many took seriously) or not knowing whether his Star Wars film will be made (likely also a joke), the director has found himself front and center in headlines and across social media. Well now The Hollywood Reporter is saying plans for Waititi’s mystery Star Wars movie is on firmer footing than the filmmaker would have you believe. Check out the story!
