Every game, show, and movie announced at the Star Wars Celebration 2022.

Here is everything announced this past weekend by Disney. Lightsabers get the people goin

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Gotta start out with the major video game announcement, obviously. Less than 3 years ago, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released to high praise from critics and fans alike, and to Disney’s delight, massive sales. Well the wait is over as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was announced over the weekend, bringing players back into the journey of the hunted Jedi padawan Cal Kestis. Survivor will follow Cal and droid buddy ‘BD-1’ 5 years after the end of Fallen Order. To refresh your memory (spoilers ahead), Fallen Order ended with Cal destroying the holocron containing a list of potential force users before the Empire could get to it. Cal also narrowly escaped an encounter with the far more powerful Darth Vader to fight another day.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will release sometime in 2023

The Mandalorian Season 3

Your favorite masked (helmeted?) hero and little legend Grogu (baby Yoda) will soon be back! No one can get enough of Manda, including Disney as anyone who watched The Book of Boba Fett knows. That show was basically The Mandalorian season 2.5 but I mean, the people love Grogu and Mando. Gotta give them all the Grogu and Mando you can. Now The Mandalorian has the gotdamn Darksaber to slice up some baddies, but actress Katee Sackhoff who plays Bo-Katan appeared at the Star Wars Celebration to announce she is returning for season 3, setting up a rematch where Bo-Katan will surely look to take the Darksaber back.

Season 3 is finished filming and will release in February of next year.

Ahsoka

I have to imagine biggest fans of the Star Wars universe are very excited for this one, at least I know I am anyway. Ahsoka has had one of the most developmental and evolutionary character arcs up to this point, having started out as Padawan to Anakin Skywalker, and now carving her own path having left the Jedi order long ago. Fans of Clone Wars will know all about the journey Ahsoka has been on, but now a new live-action series will bring the fan favorite character to the screens of millions of more people. The last we saw of Ahsoka, she was briefly seen in The Book of Boba Fett, where she was steady-chillin with none other than Luke mothafucking Skywalker in his CGI flesh. Ultimately though, Ahsoka is currently on the search for old friend and Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger, who was last seen hitching a ride on some space whales in the finale of Rebels in order to fling himself and Thrawn to an unnamed part of the galaxy. Star Wars fans can expect to see Ahsoka teaming up with other Rebels characters like Sabine Wren to find Ezra.

Another major plot point we can expect from this show is one were currently seeing in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show: former friend of Anakin has to come to terms with that Anakin has become Darth Vader. And again similar to how Obi-Wan was Anakin's master, Ahsoka was a Padawan under Anakin during the events of The Clone Wars.

Ahsoka will release sometime in 2023

Tales of the Jedi

One of the more mysterious projects announced over the weekend, Tales of the Jedi will be an animated series developed by David Filoni along with Lucasfilm animation and co-writer Charley Murray. We don’t know much about this series yet, but what we do know is it will be a six episode series, divided into two anthologies of three episodes. One anthology will follow Ahsoka Tano through different periods of her life, while the other follow a young Count Dooku, when he was still a Jedi Master with Qui-Gon Jin as his Padawan. I bet some of you had no idea Count Dooku was Qui-Gon’s master and just had your brains broken. The Count eventually fell to the Dark side, something that would be awesome to see depicted on screen.

Tales of the Jedi will release this upcoming fall

Andor

“Rebel, rebel, and yell!” – wise words from Rage Against The Machine

Andor is a show that I am personally hype as hell for. Based 5 years before ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’, the show will follow Cassian Andor and Mot Mothma as they emerge as two of the spearheads of the earliest stages of the rebellion. If you’ve seen ‘Rogue One’, Cassian is the main dude-guy from that movie, played by Diego Luna. Mot Mothma is also a character you’ve likely seen on screen before if you are a Star Wars fan, as she was the leader of the rebels in the original Star Wars films (this woman):

Mot is being played by Genevieve O’Reilly in ‘Andor’ and the show will likely depict her planting the seeds of rebellion during her time in the Galactic Senate under Emperor Palpatine’s rule, and hopefully we will get to see the moment she left the senate in open defiance of Palpatine. Shortly after her leaving the Senate, the Rebel Alliance was established, and I’d be surprised if we didn’t get to see that at some point in the 12-episode series.

Andor will release on August 31st of this year!

Star Wars Visions

Released last year, Visions was another anthology project developed by Japanese animation studios like Studio Trigger and Kinema Citrus. With the series being non-canon, the studios were given free reign to give their own takes on different storylines and characters from the Star Wars universe. This freedom gave us some pretty rad alternate histories, like a Padawan named Jay going AWOL only to stumble upon a Hutt (think Jabba the Hutt, not a wooden hut. Jabba has relatives.) named Gee. Gee offers to take the Padawan in if he becomes the lead singer of his band called “Star Waver”. Not kidding. Jay accepts, and years later the members of the band are hunted by Boba Fett because Jabba the Hutt is pissed off that Gee didn’t want to be a creepy Harvey Weinstein worm monster who enslaves princesses and shit, like every other Hutt. Boba captures Gee, brings him to Jabba, and Jay convinces the other members of the band to go to Tattoine to save Gee. They find him and in a desperate attempt to stop the execution, they ask Jabba to allow them to play one more song with Gee. They play a song, Jabba is like oh shit this is some hot fire, and he becomes their first sponsor instead of killing Gee. Yeah, not gonna lie, I have not seen this, this is literally the Wikipedia episode description. What the fuck hahahaha. I do dig it though.

Visions will release in Spring 2023

Star Wars: The Bad Batch

We got another trailer for the second season of the Disney+ animated series, which will be released this Fall. The series follows a squad of ‘bad’ clones who had an experimental genetic mutation that resulted in them being able to disobey Order 66. For the most casual Star Wars fans of you, Order 66 is the order that was given by Palpatine that set off chips in the Clones brains essentially forcing them to murder all the Jedi that they could. Elon Musk is Palpatine confirmed. Anyway, the bad batch are a bunch of badasses except for Crosshair who is bitch-made, kind of quite literally because he doesn’t have the mutation that stops him from murdering innocent Jedi regardless of age. I’m actually currently watching this show, so if Crosshair becomes a good guy again, sorry my man.

Season 2 releases this Fall

Light and Magic

Light and Magic will be a new 6-part documentary directed by writer and director Lawrence Kasdan, a legend of Star Wars in his own right. The documentary itself will focus on ‘Industrial Lights and Magic’ (ILM) which is the special effects and animation arm of Lucasfilm which made the beautiful visuals we’ve seen throughout the Star Wars Universe over 50 years. The documentary will follow the people behind the scenes who helped bring George Lucas’ brilliant vision to the big screen in an infinitely memorable and influential manner. ILM was founded by George all the way back in 1975 along with John Dykstra, and they then brought together a dynamic team of college students, artists, and engineers who have gone on to produce special effects for nearly 300 films.

The new documentary will be released on Disney+ on July 27th

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Another brand new series we don’t know a ton about, but has an interesting premise without a doubt. The new series from director Jon Watts will be the Star Wars Universe from a whole new perspective: from the eyes of children. The show takes place during the same time as The Mandalorian and will follow a group of young children that have found themselves lost in the galaxy, trying to get home to their small planet. The show’s main character will be played by Jude Law and it has been described as “a galactic version of classic Amblin coming-of-age adventure films of the ’80s “ by Vogue magazine.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will release sometime in 2023 on Disney+
