Star Wars fans will search anywhere and everywhere for spoilers, even among things that exist specifically to avoid spoilers, like working titles. Famously, Return of the Jedi was filmed under the name 'Blue Harvest' to avoid undue attention, while Attack of the Clones was (ironically) called 'Jar-Jar's Great Adventure.'

Just a short walk from the Yoda Fountain next to the Presidio Starbucks, the tightly curated store has a fair share of "Star Wars" merch but is a far cry from a toy shop. The first thing you see upon entering isn't the $2,000 replica Darth Vader helmet but rather a room full of wine from grapes grown at the exclusive Skywalker Ranch estate in Marin County, plus satellite vineyards in Italy and France.

With only a few months left before release, we finally have a detailed trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, the silver-screen spinoff of the show that launched Disney+. From the looks of it, it was worth the wait. There's something for every fan here: unmasked Din Djarin, Grogu being a scamp, an Ardennian shopkeeper almost certainly voiced by Martin Scorsese, and a Hutt speaking Basic.

This mobile dwelling isn't your typical tiny home with cutesy charm and rustic wood siding. Instead, it channels the intimidating presence of one of cinema's most notorious villains, transforming that dark energy into a sophisticated living space that commands attention wherever it travels. The inspiration is obvious from the name alone, yet the design team showed restraint by avoiding kitsch Star Wars memorabilia, focusing instead on capturing the essence of power and sleekness associated with the iconic character.

Grogu (fka "Baby Yoda") won viewers' hearts from the moment he first appeared onscreen in the first season of The Mandalorian, and the relationship between the little green creature and his father-figure bounty hunter, the titular Mandalorian, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), has only gotten stronger. With the 2023 Hollywood strikes delaying production on season 4 of the series, director Jon Favreau got the green light to make this spinoff film.

In June 2025, EA's Star Wars Battlefront II received an unprecedented uptick in players on Steam. Having previously peaked at an all-time player count of 10,489 in January 2021, Star Wars Battlefront II more than tripled this figure with an all-time peak of 35,892, thanks in part to a bargain bin sale price of $5 at the time. The sudden surge in player count was attributed to a fan campaign on Reddit by members of the r/StarWarsBattlefront community, following the success of second season.

One of the most iconic scenes in the Star Wars saga is the moment Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker meet famed smuggler Han Solo in the Mos Eisley cantina. We learn everything we need to know about this slimy rogue within minutes of his first appearance. He's seated in the corner of the dank watering hole, hiding from the law and waiting for an opportunity to make some quick credits. He smugly celebrates our heroes overpaying for his services.

Star Wars: Genesis was created by a modder who goes by DeityVengy, and it's available for free on Nexus Mods. The mod features an original story that's set between the prequel and original Star Wars trilogies. There is an update coming before the end of January that adds even more content to the mod, and DeityVengy showed off some of those new features in the video below.

That is of course the famed holiday May the 4th, and in honor, the festival announced they're bringing actor Anthony Daniels, who's played C-3PO in every canonical film, for a special screening of .
