Visions isn’t the first project to encourage unique perspectives of the galaxy far, far away — and it’s not even the first one called “Visions.” In the Filmmaker Focus episode “Origins,” executive producer James Waugh reveals that an art book by the same name served

Everything appears serene in the lush forests and flowing waters of the world at the center of “The Village Bride.” However, some of the beauty glimpsed in the Star Wars: Visions short is but a memory, a vision of a past now forgotten. While other Star Wars storytelling has examined the cost of war, and spotlighted the innocent planets caught between the clone conflict in

The Maker is coming to your toy collection.

StarWars.com is thrilled to reveal that George Lucas, the legendary creator of Star Wars, will join Hasbro’s vaunted 6-inch Star Wars: The Black Series line of action figures. Created in celebration of Lucasfilm’s 50th anniversary and in tribute to its founder, the figure cleverly depicts Lucas in stormtrooper armor and comes with a removable helmet and blaster. Lucas reports in for duty in 2022.

“As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I have both the honor and privilege to bring characters from the franchise to life in product form every single day,” Vickie Stratford, sr. director of product design at Hasbro, tells StarWars.com. “When the opportunity came to design the George Lucas figure, we were especially excited for this project. This figure is

For more than 40 years, Star Wars has been passed down from generation to generation, a modern myth that explores powerful themes of good versus evil, familial ties, and the presence of the Force. And just as creator George Lucas took inspiration from ancient archetypes, author Jack Mitchell has woven his own retelling of Luke Skywalker and the struggle for the galaxy in the soothing structure of unrhymed iambic pentameter, the meter of Milton. 

A Stanford-educated poet and scholar by day, teaching the classics at Dalhousie University near his home in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mitchell’s affinity for Star Wars grew out of another author’s interpretation, a children’s book read aloud to his then four- and six-year-olds at bedtime. “I had always been a kind of Star Wars fan, maybe six out

Star Wars Inside Intel is a StarWars.com feature where Lucasfilm Story Group member Emily Shkoukani, whose job is to know as much about a galaxy far, far away as possible, explores obscure facts about Star Wars lore and continuity. In this installment, Emily reviews Twi’leks and their culture…

If there’s a more common species than humans in Star Wars, it’s likely Twi’leks. Twi’leks are near-human, sentient aliens known for their varying skin color and distinct head tails, known as “lekku.” They first debuted in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and are seen throughout the galaxy.

Twi’leks are native to Ryloth, an Outer Rim planet covered in dry deserts and some dense jungles. Some of the more notable Twi’leks include Bib Fortuna, Jabba the Hutt’s majordomo; Hera Syndulla,

Spoiler warning: This article discusses story details from the Star Wars: Visions episode “THE TWINS.”

Luke and Leia form the heart of the original trilogy: a brother and sister that represent new hope for the galaxy and the chance to restore the Jedi Order. Trigger’s Star Wars: Visions short, “THE TWINS,” takes that idea and deftly turns it on its head. “THE TWINS” presents an alternate galaxy in which the Empire has created two siblings, Am and Karre, through the
