Next up, a first look at the next Star Wars series, Ahsoka. The 8 episode limited series launches in August on Disney+.
Ahsoka is a spin-off from the The Mandalorian series and takes place in the same timeframe. Rosario Dawson stars as Ahsoka Tano, reprising her role from the second season of The Mandalorian. The character was originally created for the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series.
Am loving the Anniversary poster, but I fear you’re right in your assumptions about there not being SA showings. The new poster and the trusty old DVD copy are probably the best it’ll get for us.
The VHS or Laserdisc versions are best… 
I actually do still have the original trilogy on VHS somewhere in storage. Don’t have a VHS player for them though… 
The next Star Wars game is due out at the end of this month (April 2023). Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to 2019s SWJ: Fallen Order.
Survivor is also the last game that EA will publish under their multi-year exclusive license agreement. It will be followed in the years to come by a number of SW games in a variety of genres. There are currently at least 7 other Star Wars related game projects. Very little is known about most of them other than the game type and the developers:
Star Wars: Hunters
Knights of the Old Republic Remake
Star Wars Eclipse
Untitled Star Wars FPS game
Untitled Star Wars strategy game
Untitled Star Wars open-world game
Untitled Star Wars action-adventure game

The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.
The Acolyte is set during the High Republic era and the prime of the Jedi Order. But trouble is brewing for the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. The High Republic saw the Jedi Order at its prime, centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Star Wars: The Acolyte arrives June 4, 2024, on Disney+ with a two-episode premiere!
I’m feeling the same these days. To be honest, there are so many factions, political orders, religious zealots, rebellion forces, and who knows what other groups in the Star Wars universe that I can’t keep up anymore. I feel quite dumb watching any of the recent Star Wars shows, even “kids shows” like The Bad Batch, because I just have no idea what’s going on. My son just enjoys the battle scenes and pew-pew sounds, so that’s why I watch it with him.
For the fans…
