Disney+ has released a new trailer for The Mandalorian during the NFL Wild Card Game on ESPN and ABC Network. It shows Pedro Pascal's character Din Djarin and Grogu reunited and going on their next adventure. Din also reveals in the trailer that he's going back to the planet Mandalore in an effort to redeem himself after removing his helmet and showing his face to other people by the end of season 2.

Andor is getting critical acclaim without having any Jedis or their lightsabers. But why are there no blazing sword wielders in the show? Andor is a beat apart from the other Star Wars productions. Not just in terms of its storytelling, but also because this is probably the first Star Wars story that doesn’t feature Jedis and their lightsabers. But why doesn’t it have Jedis? Let us explain that.

Cassian Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi may be two men who eventually fight for the same side, but that's about all they have in common. The version Cassian we meet five years before the events of "Rogue One" is an outlaw sought by Imperial force, doing whatever he can to survive and stay off the radar. Sometimes that means shooting traitors before they can even think about drawing a weapon.

Within the aesthetic of Star Wars, the operatic sweep of John Williams’s score is as definitive as TIE fighters or lightsabers. But when composer Nicholas Britell signed on to Andor, the 24-episode prequel series to the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, he started with “a total blank slate.”

Somehow, a show about fighting fascism is the best thing on Disney+.

"It was a perfect episode of television."

Since Disney’s acquisition of the Star Wars franchise, the explosion of new movies and television shows has had its good and bad entries. Andor is definitely one of the good ones, but it’s certainly instructive that, on Twitter at least, that compliment has often been somewhat backhanded.

There's a scene in episode 7 of Andor that had me reeling. It starts out weird. Cassian Andor, our titular antihero, having pulled off an impossible heist on the Galactic Empire, was doing what any reasonable criminal would do in the aftermath: partying it up in what can only be described as "Space Ibiza." Getting boozed up by night, lounging off the hangover at the beach by day. A strange vibe for a universe usually dialed in on space wizards duking it out with laser swords.

Buildings from the fictional planet of Tatooine still litter the Tunisian desert.

‘Andor,’ on Disney+, is already the best of the new ‘Star Wars’ shows.

The latest Disney+ Star Wars show is out next week but the first reactions are now online.

Tony Gilroy didn’t want to make a prequel to “Rogue One.” The 2016 “Star Wars” feature, which Gilroy co-wrote, is itself a prequel, detailing how a ragged crew of rebels, led by spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), steal the plans to the Death Star. They succeed, but (spoiler alert!) they all sacrifice their lives doing so — an uncharacteristically dour ending for a “Star Wars” endeavor.

There’s a peculiar wisdom in George Lucas’s direction of the Star Wars prequels. It’s memorialized in the very first seconds of the very first trailer for The Phantom Menace: “Every generation has a legend.”

"The Mandalorian" creator Jon Favreau has confirmed that season 4 of the Disney+ series is already in the works, a process that has commenced way ahead of its upcoming season 3 premiere (via CinemaBlend). This is not surprising news at all, as "The Mandalorian" has been a grand success from the streaming platform, kickstarting a string of new "Star Wars" content and acting as a jumping-off point for several spin-off shows.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is not the show you’re looking for — at least, not the one the trailers advertised

“Obi-Wan Kenobi” is premiering on Disney+ a few hours earlier than planned, the “Star Wars” show announced Thursday night. West Coast viewers will be able to stream the first two episodes of the show, starring Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, starting at 9 p.m. PT. Originally, they were set to become available at midnight.

We’ll soon say “Hello there!” to Obi-Wan Kenobi — a little later than expected, but with a surprise bonus. Ewan McGregor, star of the Disney+ limited series as the titular Jedi Master, announced today that Obi-Wan Kenobi will now premiere on Friday, May 27. Instead of just one episode, however, fans will be treated to the first two installments at launch, with subsequent episodes debuting each Wednesday.

Disney World’s much-hyped “Star Wars” Galactic Starcruiser hotel, which only has 100 rooms, is not even close to selling out, Disney’s availability calendar shows. Guests who check the “start planning your voyage” page will nearly have their pick of dates through the second half of 2022. Almost every day in August, September, October, November and December is available. There are still “voyages” in June and July, too, including a number of weekends. According to the page, availability information was last updated Saturday at 11:16 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
