The iconic pew-pew sounds of blasters being shot will transport fans right back to the movies. Thankfully, blaster fights are a very common occurrence in Star Wars Outlaws.
Facing off against stormtroopers as the authentic pew pews fill the air is as exhilarating as it feels nostalgic. Beware, though; the stormtroopers have much better aim in this game!

The Star Wars universe has been expanding for decades through different media, making the franchise fertile ground for theory crafting. Since the franchise’s inception, the Stormtroopers have been a recurring element, serving as the primary soldiers of the Empire’s army and a symbol of their despotic rule.
Stormtroopers are notorious for their poor aim in Star Wars (Credit: Lucasfilm).
Despite having a menacing role in the story, the Stroomtroopers’ actions have often contrasted their status. They are infamous for their alleged poor aim, which has seen several protagonists escape unharmed. However, one fan theory attempted to explain away their incompetence, at least in the earlier installments, and here is why Stormtroopers might not be bad shooters after all.

The Mandalorian & Grogu is the next highly anticipated installment in the Star Wars franchise. Directed by Jon Favreau and co-written with Dave Filoni, the film continues the story from the Disney+ series The Mandalorian and stars Pedro Pascal. Production on the fourth season of The Mandalorian was delayed due to the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes, prompting Lucasfilm to focus on this film instead. Announced in January 2024, it began filming in California in August 2024.
Currently, details about the movie are scarce, with most information coming from a leaked D23 trailer.
Pedro Pascal will return to voice the titular character, The Mandalorian, and Grogu will also be featured in the film. The trailer has also revealed that Zeb Orrelion, reprising his role from Star Wars Rebels, will make an appearance.
Additionally, Sigourney Weaver has recently joined the cast, as confirmed by Deadline. She has already met Grogu and will be part of the movie.

Dave Filoni has been able to construct his own little Saga that neatly fits into the Star Wars Universe’s main storyline. Through Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, and so forth, the actor has fortified himself in a corner of the universe that has received a considerable amount of praise and love from fans.

However, despite this era of the universe being well fleshed out, there have been some characters that have not been done justice, despite them having a great start in the story. Boba Fett is one such character who had a great comeback in The Mandalorian but failed to shine in his own solo outing. However, fans have rallied behind Temuera Morrison, and assured that the blame was not his to shoulder.

Ahsoka VFX Supervisor Richard Bluff has lent his talents to many franchises, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Transformers and, most recently, Star Wars.
He counts The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and even Disneyland and Disney World's "Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run" ride among his credits. However, Ahsoka marks Richard's most recent foray into a Galaxy Far, Far Away.
Last week, we were fortunate enough to sit down with the Emmy nominee ("Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Season Or A Movie") to discuss his work on the critically acclaimed Star Wars TV series.
We started by asking Richard about translating the World Between Worlds from animation - where it first debuted in Star Wars Rebels - to a phenomenal live-action sequence featuring Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano and Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker.
"I think a lot of it comes down to audiences being familiar with that world through animation.

The Star Wars franchise features some of the most iconic costumes to ever grace the screen; from Darth Vader to Din Djarin, many of them are now rightly considered nothing short of iconic.
Ahsoka adds some incredible new efforts to this Galaxy Far, Far Away with characters such as Ahsoka Tano, Baylan Skoll, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and even costumes originally seen in animated TV shows The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.
Elissa Alcala (Assistant Costume Designer), Devon Patterson (Costume Supervisor), and the late Shawna Trpcic (Costume Designer) are all Emmy-nominated - "Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes" for their work on Ahsoka. Earlier this month, we were fortunate enough to sit down with Elissa and Devon to learn more about how they approached the Disney+ series.

Freddie Prinze Jr. probably knows better than the average Star Wars fan about the universe, since he starred as Kanan Jarrus on Star Wars Rebels for four seasons. Moreover, he was a fan of the show for as long as he could remember. So fans can give him leeway for his 2019 rant against some of the adult fans of George Lucas’ epic space franchise.

Although the next Star Wars movie has only just kicked off production, Lucasfilm wasted no time giving fans and journalists a first look at The Mandalorian & Grogu at this year’s D23. The first Star Wars film since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker is a continuation of the Disney+ series and picks up after the end of The Mandalorian season 3, which ended with Din and Grogu settling down on Nevarro. But from the looks of the teaser footage shown at D23, the vacation is over and our beloved bounty hunting duo is back on the road.
Den of Geek was at the Honda Center in Anaheim for all the big Star Wars D23 announcements and saw firsthand as Din and Grogu came face to face with the Empire once again, this time in a particularly chilling location.

Favreau and Filoni had completed the script for the fourth season of The Mandalorian by February 2023, but production was delayed due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. During this time, Lucasfilm decided to focus on a Mandalorian film instead. The film was announced in January 2024 and began filming in California by August 2024.
While plot details remain scarce, the official movie description reveals: “The Mandalorian, a lone bounty hunter, is assigned to capture Grogu, a mysterious and endearing creature. Instead, he forms a deep bond with Grogu and aims to protect him from various dangers, while navigating his evolving role in a post-Empire galaxy.”
At this year’s D23 event, the movie received several significant updates, including an exclusive teaser trailer presented to the audience. The trailer has since surfaced online, and you can watch it below:

The footage opened with shots from "The Mandalorian" season 1, of Mando and Grogu meeting for the first time. Then there are clips of the two of them hanging out from the show, with familiar lines and moments of each of them, highlighting that father and son spirit we've come to love.

"The Mandalorian and Grogu” doesn’t hit theaters until 2026, but as director Jon Favreau pointed out, this is the last D23 before the movie opens – so they had to bring something to the adoring fans at the Honda Center. And since they have only been shooting the movie for a few weeks, they didn’t have a ton of footage – but they still brought something.
The footage that was screened during the presentation showed the Mandalorian (once again voiced by Pedro Pascal) on a snow planet, walking into a room and killing a bunch of snow troopers. There was voice over from Pascal saying that, since he took Grogu on as an apprentice, he would be more selective in the assignments that he agreed to.

The first Star Wars feature film since 2019’s pre-pandemic Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Jon Favreau’s Mandalorian and Grogu, was shown off Friday night at Disney’s D23.
Favreau, who directs, came onstage with co-scribe and producer Dave Filoni. “We’re all pretty excited to have Star Wars back on the big screen,” said Filoni.
Favreau said they just started filming two weeks ago. “It’s the last D23 before the movie comes out — we had to put something out.”

“She was always really good about bringing together people who shared her same passions,” says Elissa Alcala of the late “Ahsoka” costume designer Shawna Trpcic who passed away in 2023. Alcala served as assistant costume designer on the Disney+ series, and joined costume supervisor Devon Patterson to discuss their latest Emmy nomination and the lasting impact of their late collaborator. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
"Ahsoka” continues the adventures of the titular Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) in live action after the animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars: Rebels” charted her earlier exploits. Trpcic, Alcala, and Patterson earned an Emmy nomination for the series finale, “Chapter 8: The Jedi, The Witch, and the Warlord.” For this action-packed installment, the designers created looks for three creepy witches, an army of undead stormtroopers, and evolved the look of a fan favorite hero from the animated series.

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? If you're a die-hard "Star Wars" fan, odds are, you have. The tragedy in question originally stemmed from a very important scene in "Revenge of the Sith" when Palpatine tells Anakin Skywalker of Plagueis, birthing one of the most mysterious characters in a galaxy far, far away. For as much as he is talked about, Plagueis was never actually seen on screen — until very recently, that is. Though brief, the famed Sith Lord finally appeared in the flesh in "The Acolyte," adding to the character's mythology in a very meaningful way. Beyond his presence in the shadows on Disney+, Plagueis was also recently added to the official "Star Wars" database.
StarWars.com keeps a huge database full of characters from the official canon. Rather amazingly, Plagueis only recently got an official entry following his brief yet impactful appearance in "The Acolyte.

Who knew that the Harry Potter franchise would have an influence over supervising director Dave Filoni for Star Wars: The Clone Wars? Well, that is exactly what happened in 2011.

The Harry Potter franchise had numerous villains over the years. From Professor Quirrell to Barty Crouch Jr., the villains were many. Amongst them, however, Jason Isaacs shined in the role of Lucius Malfoy.

The Inquisitors are perhaps one of the most menacing contributions that Dave Filoni has dreamed up for the Star Wars universe. Essentially delivering an army of Sith without breaking the dreaded Rule of Two, the Inquisitors were the perfect addition to the franchise to deal with the problems of the surviving Jedi and provide them with a narrative challenge without them seeming weak or circling back to Darth Vader.

The Grand Inquisitor was quite the threat to the characters in Star Wars: Rebels, even making an appearance in Obi-Wan Kenobi. The character went through quite some iterations before his appearance was finalized for the show, as was revealed in the Star Wars Insider Magazine by Dave Filoni himself.

Dave Filoni is responsible for fleshing out much of the Clone Wars with his brilliant animated series. However, there was also a film that the director worked on that introduced Ahsoka Tano as Anakin’s padwan, called Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

This film was well received and beloved by fans, and while there has been an entire show covering what happens in the wake of it, Dave Filoni revealed in 2011 that there might be a chance that fans could get more of it, but only if George Lucas was up for it.

Dave Filoni has been working in the Star Wars franchise since the animated Clone Wars series. He was recently promoted to the role of the chief creative officer at Lucasfilm, growing his influence and impact on the franchise and its stories moving forward. However, even Filoni isn’t immune to criticism from the fanbase.

While discussing his work on the Ahoska series, Filoni spoke about the nature of the Force and how it works. However, Filoni’s comments received severe backlash from the fans. Similarly, The Acolyte has also been criticized for its depiction of the Force, but Filoni’s comments seemed to have a more divisive effect on the fans, and here is why.

Each streamer has deep ties to a linear broadcast channel, and new data from Parrot Analytics shows that has translated into a heightened level of new TV watching on each.
New episodes of streaming originals are few and far between these days. The release pace of new streaming shows has slowed considerably in the first half of 2024, partially thanks to the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and partially because studios are shrinking content budgets to help make their streaming services more profitable. Streamers who are closely entwined with broadcast and cable TV channels are mitigating this lack with new episodes of shows that appear first on those channels, and new data from Parrot Analytics is showing which services are getting the most traction with new episodes so far in 2024.

Dave Filoni has worked within Lucasfilm, particularly on the Star Wars franchise for several years. Having trained under franchise creator George Lucas, Filoni has gained plenty of experience crafting stories in the galaxy far, far away, that most filmmakers might envy.

Ahsoka Season 1 ended on quite the cliffhanger, with Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang stuck in another galaxy, and Ezra having just returned to the main Galaxy. Further, Grand Admiral Trawne has made his way back from his exile, jeopardizing the New Republic in the wake of the defeat of Emperor Palpatine.

With the troubles of Ahsoka and The New Republic mounting, it seems that Season 2 of the show will be introducing another antagonist for our characters to face, one who could assist Baylan Skoll in his quest for hidden power. However, this character could also bring Luke Skywalker into Ahsoka’s story, given that the character has quite some history in the Legends continuity.

After the success of Ahsoka Season 1, its confirmed second season may introduce one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars Legends continuity, Abeloth. The potential live-action entry of Abeloth or The Mother may give us a memorable Luke Skywalker moment.
Soon after the rumor of her appearance circulated, the fans asserted that Ahsoka Season 2 may give us one of the nastiest live-action fight sequences in the Star Wars universe as Luke Skywalker already defeated Abeloth in Star Wars Legends.

Ahsoka, starring Rosario Dawson, came out as the latest entry in Star Wars’ Mandoverse and continues the story of Ahsoka Tano after the events of The Mandalorian Season 3. The series centered on Tano, Sabine Wren, and others from Star Wars: Rebels to prevent Grand Admiral Thrawn from uniting the remnants of the Galactic Empire against the New Republic.

So, from Jedi Master Sol’s Jedi statement to Qimir’s cortosis, here are the five things fans may have missed in The Acolyte Episode 5.

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: The Acolyte" episode 5, "Night."
Picking up moments after last week's episode, the fifth episode of "Star Wars: The Acolyte" begins with the slaughter of many Jedi at the hands of the dark warrior who arrived to stop them. This helmeted stranger begins dispatching them handily, but something curious happens. As the Jedi lightsabers hit the gauntlets or helmet of the alleged Sith, their blades short out for a moment. This gives their opponent a distinct advantage, especially against so many saber-wielding opponents.
At first, there might be some confusion about the mysterious metal and some might even assume that it's Mandalorian beskar, which we've seen deflect plenty of lightsabers in "The Mandalorian." However, the metallic element here is totally different and has a long history in "Star Wars."
The material in question is called Cortosis, and it's been around in "Star Wars" in...

Andor will introduce more familiar faces from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. One of those returning cast members could be a game-changer for the gritty science fiction series.
The first season of Andor was good (very good) but flew under the radar in comparison to other Star Wars shows. So, reintroducing one of Rogue One’s best characters could boost the PR of the Disney+ show.
We learned via Popverse that Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) dropped a big name at Ace Superhero Comic Con in Alamo City last week. The star teased fans with news of some returning players:
“I can tell you, Rogue One is coming, so there will be characters there that you will recognize. There will be cool stuff. For those who love Rogue One, this season is going to be very special. And it’s going to be fascinating to go straight to Rogue One after watching this second season,...

Dave Filoni’s obsession with wolves is pretty well-known among the Star Wars community, as the filmmaker has not been very subtle with their inclusion in his Star Wars filmography. From naming one of the Clone Commanders Wolffe and his personal squad The Wolfpack to incorporating species of Space Wolves with insane Force abilities, Filoni’s dedication to wolves is admirable.
Following his obsession with them, the current Chief creative officer of Lucasfilm recalled George Lucas once teased him during the making of Clone Wars.

The Acolyte is the latest Star Wars project that has made its way to the screens, with director cum screenwriter Leslye Headland taming it at its helm. While the series has garnered some major critical acclaim, the general audiences and most fan views tend to differ, especially because of the controversial storyline it has followed so far — one that fans can’t help but term “woke.”

That said, Headland isn’t the only one for critics to praise and fans to curse for bringing something new like this to the table. As it turns out, one other veteran of the saga, who himself has produced some of the most epic Sw projects, was an unsung hero in helping Headland develop this controversial storyline. This was Dave Filoni, who is the current Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm.

Hayden Christensen took over the role of Anakin Skywalker starting in the 2002 film Attack of the Clones and has reprised the role numerous times, including the Disney+ series where he encounters his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, in live-action. The dynamic between the two characters has been deeply explored during the events of The Clone Wars in the animated film and TV series.

Christensen, however, did not have the opportunity to fully examine that side of his character until the 2023 series. In a recent interview, the actor reflected on returning to the iconic role in the series, as he expressed his gratitude for the chance to delve into this aspect of Anakin’s character.

There will be spoilers for the third episode of "Star Wars: The Acolyte," so beware.
The third episode of "Star Wars: The Acolyte" transports us back in time 16 years to the days leading up to the tragedy that allowed Osha (played as an adult by Amandla Stenberg and as a child by Lauren & Leah Brady) to be taken by the Jedi and to assume her sister, Mae (played by the aforementioned acting trio) was dead. In the last episode, we watched Master Torbin die by suicide with the poison offered to him by Mae, rather than face the pain of living with the consequences of what happened that night sixteen prior. This episode shows us, from at least one point of view, what happened during that fateful encounter, but it also introduces us to the family of Mae and Osha.
Mae and Osha were born in a coven of witches...

Last week, we learned that The Acolyte had a bigger debut than 2023's Ahsoka with a whopping 4.8 million views on Disney+ during its first day on the streamer.
That was the official word from Disney, anyway, though no first-day viewership numbers were ever officially announced for Ahsoka. Instead, we were told that it took the Star Wars Rebels follow-up five days to reach 14 million views, giving it a per-day average of 2.8 million.
Whether or not The Acolyte really did beat Ahsoka during its first day of streaming is hard to say; either way, we've now discovered that it failed to top its fellow Star Wars series in its first five days on the platform.
According to Variety (via SFFGazette.com), the show drew an impressive 11.1 million viewers, almost 3 million less than Ahsoka during the same period.
There may be lots of reasons for this, including the fact Ahsoka featured a well-known character and setting.

There may be lots of reasons for this, including the fact Ahsoka featured a well-known character and setting.

Darth Maul was one of the greatest additions of the Prequel series to the Star Wars canon, becoming one of the most beloved Sith characters of the Skywalker saga behind Darth Vader and right above Asajj Ventress. A lot of thought went into the role of Maul, who was killed off in the film, but had one of the greatest arcs in Star Wars history through his appearances in The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.

Nick Gillard, the stunt coordinator for the Prequel trilogy, revealed what was the original casting for Maul, and why it was changed. Maul had a very strong impact on audiences in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and a huge part of it was Ray Park’s performance.

Love it or hate it, Rotten Tomatoes remains a key part of whether moviegoers decide to check out the latest releases in theaters. However, we've also seen those all-important percentage scores become every bit as important for TV shows, especially when there are so many options out there thanks to an endless list of streaming platforms.
In the case of the Star Wars franchise, recent years have seen Lucasfilm shift focus to prioritising exploring that Galaxy out on the small screen rather than the big one.

In recent years, the number of series set in a galaxy far, far away has increased dramatically. The variety of genres, forms and topics is amazing: every viewer, not only fans of the series, can find something to their taste.
On the occasion of the release of The Acolyte, which has already received negative reviews from fans, we have chosen ten of the best projects that you can watch instead of the new series.
1. Star Wars: Visions, 2021-2023
The first non-canon series released after Disney bought Lucasfilm, Visions is The Animatrix of the Star Wars universe, an anthology of 18 shorts divided into two seasons. Each episode is done in a unique style and tells its own little story.
The producers gave the writers maximum creative freedom. As a result, Visions offers a completely different take on traditional Star Wars, and it looks great. The authors clearly prove that canonicity does...

The long-awaited Star Wars series The Acolyte premiered on Disney+ last night.
As expected, the show quickly became a trending topic across every social media platform.
What was less anticipated, however, was the backlash the show received from fans of the franchise.
The Acolyte has become the latest series to experience a major gap between the response it's received from critics and the reaction from its most outspoken viewers.
The series -- which stars Amandla Stenberg as twin sisters Osha and Mae Aniseya -- received a mostly favorable reaction from critics.
Raves have been few, but the show is currently certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with an 88% rating based on 69 reviews.
Unfortunately, the reaction from non-critics has been far less positive.
The series holds a 45% audience score based on ratings from more than 500 viewers.
"I don't even know what they are trying to accomplish with this show. It's dry and boring.

Sam Witwer’s journey into the Star Wars universe began with his portrayal of Starkiller. Starkiller was the secret apprentice of Darth Vader in the 2008 video game “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.” His deep-rooted passion and knowledge of the franchise significantly contributed to his successful audition.
A self-proclaimed Star Wars geek, Witwer’s knowledge of the franchise is more than just trivia—it’s an intrinsic part of who he is. His performances as Starkiller, Darth Maul, and the Son of Mortis have left lasting impressions on fans and the franchise alike.

During his audition for Starkiller, Witwer was given a scene where the character meditates and assembles his lightsaber using the Force. Instead of portraying a serene meditation, Witwer opted for a more intense approach, emphasizing Starkiller’s struggle and aggression.

George Lucas’ Star Wars universe is filled with a wide array of complex and intriguing characters. Despite the mixed reception of the prequel trilogy, it is largely remembered for the various interesting character designs, especially for villains that Lucas and his team of concept artists had derived.

However, according to a report, Lucas almost planned to combine two of these iconic villains in a crazy twist that would have changed the galaxy far, far away forever. According to Henry Gilroy, who has extensively worked on the animated Star Wars shows, Lucas planned to resurrect Darth Maul as one villain introduced after The Phantom Menace. Here is everything you need to know about Lucas’ initial plans for Maul.

The Mandalorian debuted back in 2019, becoming the first live-action series set in George Lucas’ Star Wars universe. Starring Pedro Pascal in the lead role, the series gained immense popularity throughout its three seasons. As a result, Disney announced a film continuation of the original story that focuses on Din Djarin and Grogu.

During an interview ahead of the show’s third season, executive producer Dave Filoni spoke about how the series might conclude. Filoni’s approach to crafting season finales combined with the uncertain future of the series beyond its planned feature film continuation hint that The Mandalorian could easily return for season 4 and beyond.

Committed to long-interconnected franchises can sometimes be a chore for the viewers, especially when something is as big as the MCU. It also doesn’t help when newcomers are required to know about the entries that came before to enjoy a new show or movie. One major example is Madness of Multiverse, as fans, who weren’t familiar with the Wanda Vision beforehand, had a hard time piecing it all together in the sequel to 2016’s Doctor Strange.
But Star Wars did combat this issue with Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka, as the showrunners succeeded in making it more accessible to fans, who had no knowledge about her history.

The Star Trek reboot may get another producer after hiring writer Seth Grahame-Smith and Andor director Toby Haynes for the project. Simon Kinberg, who produced the X-Men films, is reportedly in talks with Paramount Pictures to serve as a producer in the new iteration of the franchise. However, fans are not happy with Kinberg’s involvement in the project as his recent portfolio has been largely lackluster.

Fans shared that Kinberg ruined the X-Men franchise with his involvement and would repeat the same with the new reboot. The sci-fi space series received some recent love with the streaming series, Star Trek Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds.

Paramount Pictures has a few successful franchises, but the studio's apparent inability to do more with Star Trek is beyond confusing.
When J.J. Abrams relaunched the franchise in 2009, the stage was set for it to become a mainstream property, something which looked increasingly likely when the sequels - Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond - were also moderate box office hits. Unfortunately, Star Trek 4 has been stuck in development hell for several years.
Filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, Matt Shakman, Lindsey Beer, and Geneva Robertson-Dworet are just some of the names who have been attached to the movie in recent years, with none of them ultimately sticking around.
Now, with it seemingly no closer to becoming a reality, it seems Paramount's next prequel project is finally taking shape.

"Star Wars" is filled with all sorts of wonderful and strange creatures, most of them background ones that only appear for a few minutes and never show up again. While any other franchise would leave those characters as background oddities, "Star Wars" turns them into stars deserving of their own standalone stories. Any character, no matter how small, is likely to have an extensive background story full of twists and turns, like connecting Yaddle's backstory to that of Count Dooku.
This is also how we get a character like Melch the Ugnaught, a one-off side character in "Star Wars Rebels" that became a beloved side character and hero of Lothal. Though "Star Wars" is full of great alien-sounding names like Ahsoka Tano, Leia Organa, Kit Fisto or Qui-Gon Jinn, there are other that sound, well, less so.

Ahsoka was a successful Star Wars show that received high viewership and critical acclaim. While the series enjoys a vast family fanbase, there are hardcore fans who believe that it couldn’t live up to the gritty storytelling of Andor. Ahsoka was written and produced as a sequel to the animated series, Star Wars Rebels, which appealed to the family audiences. However, the Diego Luna-led series appealed to a more mature audience.
