'Star Wars: The Lightsaber Collection' Reveals Rey's Yellow-Bladed Lightsaber
The majority of recent stories told within the Star Wars canon have been books and comics. One such example is Thrawn: Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, which was just released by Del Rey. Back in early January of this year, we got the announcement of The High Republic, which will introduce readers to an all-new era set 200 years before the films set within the galaxy far, far away. During the gaps between films and even TV shows, the books have been there for the fans so that they may continue exploring new stories set within the galaxy far, far away. However, we are also getting another type of book that is sure to please readers who want more details on certain weapons that we have seen in the various stories.

“This is the day” is a caption that was a bit confusing at first to some who saw it on Star Wars social media. It is a fun pun playing on the quote "This is the way." At first glance, it might lead a casual observer to believe that season 2 of The Mandalorian dropped today. Of course, this is not the case. Rather, the caption refers to the official announcement of the season 2 premiere date, which has now been revealed to be October 30.

Moff Gideon is one of the more memorable characters on the Star Wars Disney+ series The Mandalorian. Giancarlo Esposito portrayed that villain in such a way where he seems like someone with whom one can try talking things out, but not without sacrificing the air of intimidation that comes through his performance. When season 1 ended with Gideon wielding the Darksaber, viewers’ minds were blown. Those who were familiar with that weapon via its depictions in the animated shows Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels got excited to find out how the Darksaber ended up in Gideon’s hands. The last time that we had seen the weapon was when Sabine Wren, who had stolen it from Maul, gave it to Bo-Katan in the final season of Rebels, which was set a decade before The Mandalorian.

It has been a while since the previous instance where the world saw a substantial interview with John Boyega regarding his experiences with Star Wars. On Wednesday, one such interview was released by GQ. The magazine article goes into Boyega’s involvement with Black Lives Matter protests and his personal experiences, eventually leading to Boyega talking about his feelings regarding his work with Star Wars. Boyega talked about how a stylist whom he had hired cringed about what he wanted to wear, and how the hairdresser had no experience working with hair like his but pretended that they did. (He also talked about how powerful it is when black men grow out their hair.) Regarding the press of The Force Awakens, he had this to say:

Right now, the next Star Wars film is set for a December 2023 release date, and we do not know for sure what it is about. Kathleen Kennedy’s recent comment regarding the mythology of Star Wars has stirred speculation as to where and when exactly future films could go. Here is the comment that Kennedy gave to The Wrap:

With Gamescom having come and gone, fans are very excited for the release of the video game Star Wars: Squadrons in October. We also got the trailer for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, with the confirmation that it is set to come out in spring 2021. In between the releases of those games, we will be experiencing the second season of The Mandalorian, which starts in October. On the books and comics front, we will be exploring The High Republic starting in January 2021. But of course, we also have another series to look forward to: The Bad Batch.

Last week, LEGO Star Wars 75292 The Razor Crest got an upgrade on LEGO.com with a new name: 75292 The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport. What seems to have happened is that the product listed as LEGO Star Wars 75292 The Razor Crest was changed to 75292 The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport Crest. The latter name had already been floating around the world. On August 29, Brick Fanatic reported that the US LEGO site had shown the change. However, when the product was released on September 1, it still retained the ship's original name, so the US marketing of the product seems to be unaffected.

When Ahsoka Tano was first introduced in The Clone Wars animated film, fans were initially nonplussed that Anakin Skywalker even had a Padawan. She even seemed to be potentially more exceptional than him, the Chosen One. Was she better than her Jedi mentor?
Culture SlatePublished 4 years ago in FuturismWhy Kathleen Kennedy Would Probably Not Want To Step Down From Lucasfilm and 'Star Wars'
I highly doubt that Kathleen Kennedy would want to step down from Star Wars. We know that her extension goes up to 2021, and it is possible that it may not be renewed. Personally, I do not buy that Kennedy would try to find a way to step down sooner than that, as has been rumored. And if Disney ends up giving her the option to continue her Lucasfilm contract further, I do not think that she would step down.
Culture SlatePublished 4 years ago in FuturismDebunked: Rumor Of Disney Erasing Sequel Trilogy; Kathleen Kennedy Out By 2022?
Recently, there have been rumors of Disney planning to erase the Star Wars sequel trilogy. These rumors have gone as far as to suggest that there will be some sort of in-universe element that would erase the events of the sequel trilogy from the timeline, which sounds similar to time travel or multiverse event media like X-Men: Days of Future Past or Crisis on Infinite Earths. However, that is not what is going on.
Culture SlatePublished 4 years ago in FuturismRumors of Familiar 'Star Wars' Characters In The Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Coming to Disney+
Star Wars has pretty much become a TV franchise, and one of the upcoming projects is the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. The show is set to be released in 2022, so it is still a ways away. It has been described by Kathleen Kennedy as a limited series, which means that it would not have more than one season. Still, fans are excited to see Ewan McGregor return for the iconic role. For some, however, it is difficult to imagine what sort of story worthy of television could be told regarding Obi-Wan Kenobi’s exile on Tatooine, during which he is watching over young Luke Skywalker. If new rumors are anything to go by, we might have an idea, though this information should be taken with a grain of salt.

With the October premiere date of The Mandalorian season 2 approaching, Star Wars fans have been yearning for a trailer so that they may get a glimpse at the upcoming episodes. Some were expecting a trailer to drop a week ago during the NBA playoffs, but such a trailer drop did not come to fruition. These past couple days, we have gotten gameplay for Star Wars: Squadrons and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga out of gamecom. Plus, the Celebration 2019 trailer for The Clone Wars season 7 was finally uploaded to the Star Wars YouTube channel. Though these videos have been very welcome, they are not The Mandalorian season 2 trailer that people are still asking for Lucasfilm to release.
