Pedro Pascal appeared on Good Morning America earlier today, and he arrived with a new 50-second clip from The Mandalorian and Grogu before going into detail about the process of making a new Star Wars movie. The movie is just 10 days away from hitting theaters. During his time on GMA, Pascal talked about making the jump from the small screen to the big screen, and how he’d hoped that it could happen one day: “It’s a big screen experience. There was something about being a part of Star Wars in a streaming experience that I knew was gonna break the wheel, and provide that experience at home for people. [Getting to] experience these movies on the big screen, that was my secret wish from the beginning. I love that [The Mandalorian] had beautiful seasons for people to see at home, but now, ...

Popular online shooter game Fortnite is set to allow creators to build their own games using Star Wars assets, starting as early as tomorrow, March 19th. The developers announced the toolset on their X account, showing a PC monitor flanked by Darth Vader and Han Solo figures before zooming in to show the Unreal Engine editor, which will allow fans to create their own Star Wars content.  This is not the first collaboration between Star Wars and the game, nor is it likely to be the last, given Disney’s large investment in developer Epic Games. Last year the game launched a season of content called ‘Galactic Battle’ for May the 4th. The crossover featured Star Wars themed character skins including Rey and Sith Rey, game modes and a Darth Vader boss which used AI to recreate the voice of th...

In the penultimate issue of Star Wars Insider, issue #236 (out today), Maul voice actor Sam Witwer revealed new details about his character’s motivations in the upcoming animated series, Maul: Shadow Lord. In addition, Collider shared a new image from the series. Witwer, who has been the voice of Maul for the past 15 years, described how Maul has changed since fans last saw him: “He’s confused, and a little apprehensive … We pick up after The Clone Wars. The Empire has taken over, and Maul’s reassessing everything. There were plans in place that were supposed to insulate him from the changes when the Empire came to power, and a lot of the people that were supposed to be there for him were not. He’s getting back on his feet, the dust is clearing, and he’s looking around at the Empire— th...

We’re a little over three months away from the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, and still wondering where that final trailer is. More on that below.
