Now that it’s a wrap, here are some Star Wars Celebration 2023 highlights. These highlights will be more than just about the announcements and sneak peeks. There are a few moments from panels and interviews that I really want to call out.
If you were following along on the Star Wars YouTube Live stream then you have probably seen all of these.
The Star Wars Celebration in London kicked off today and here are a few of the announcements and details about upcoming series and movies. I wish I were there but England is an expensive trip to make. All of these details came from the Live broadcast on the Star Wars YouTube channel.
Before I get into all the Star Wars details, let’s quickly cover the non-Star Wars IP that was discussed. Of course, I’m referring to the next Indiana Jones movie and the unveiling of the newest trailer. During an interview with director James Mangold he tells us that John Williams, at 91 years old, did compose the entire score. The man is a legend.
The Star Wars Celebration begins today, in London, and, as I predicted, we got our first Ahsoka teaser trailer. It is also available to watch on Disney+, or you check it out below!
We see a lot of familiar faces and places (if you’ve watched Rebels). Live-action Lothal and Huyang (whom I hope is still voiced by David Tennant is confirmed to reprise the voice) all look fantastic!! There are a few new faces too. I don’t recognize the blond Sith chick; the name Baylan sounds familiar but he is also a mystery.
Did anyone else get chills when Ahsoka called Thrawn the “heir to the Empire“???! The story for this series emerges from Star Wars Rebels. My advice is to go watch it before August otherwise you might be a bit confused.
Title: Guns for Hire
Director: Bryce Dallas Howard
Runtime: 45 minutes
I can’t believe we only have two more weeks of The Mandalorian and then a Star Wars break until Ahsoka comes out (assuming that is the next series). This episode takes a slight left turn from the normal formula, although the end has massive implications. Chapter 22 is also full of celebrity cameos, new and returning.
Din and Bo Katan are out to try to reunite all of Mandalore, per the Armorer’s request. Their mission takes them to a rather pretentious planet where the “organics” do nothing and the droids do all the work. L3 would not approve!
This is another fun episode, that I really enjoyed. It wasn’t just the cameos but that ending too!
The Batch’s second season has come to an end and it was an emotional one. I don’t think I’ve felt this way about a cartoon since the final season of Rebels. Anyone that says “cartoons are for kids” needs to spend some quality time with any of the Star Wars animated series, especially The Bad Batch and Rebels. I want to talk about it so here are some Batch Batch Season 2 final thoughts.
It seems I’m always defending Jar Jar, the movies, or Ahmed Best. While I still live by the philosophy to “be your own fan“, sometimes I like to discuss my reasons. My intent is to inform and not to persuade. Admittedly, Ahmed Best (and vicariously Jar Jar) is receiving more adoration than animosity. However, sometimes I still like to make a case for Jar Jar Binks.
Why am I talking about Jar Jar, again?
