We’ve seen him rise through the Empire’s ranks to become Grand Admiral. We’ve seen him launch a formidable attack on the Ghost crew and the Rebellion itself. Now, we finally get to see where it all started. The first installment of Timothy Zahn’s new trilogy, Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy – Chaos Rising, transports us back to Thrawn’s origins within the Chiss Ascendancy. As the Ascendancy faces an unknown attacker, we finally get a look at the experiences that helped shape Thrawn into the intimidating Imperial strategist we’re all so familiar with. To mark its release in hardcover and audiobook, StarWars.com called up Zahn to delve deeper into the book.

If you’ve ever wanted to join the Resistance or First Order — or live your best scoundrel life — this is your chance.

Lucasfilm and EA announced last week that a galaxy far, far away is coming to The Sims with The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Available September 8, the pack will take players to Black Spire Outpost, the location featured at Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where they can create their own story with an allegiance of their choice.

In an exclusive series, StarWars.com is pulling back the curtain on Star Wars: The High Republic, a publishing epic set centuries before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, with insights from creators, new details, and never-before-seen concept art. Arriving January 2021, the story will be explored through multiple voices and span adult and young adult novels, children’s books, and comics from a variety of publishers. In this installment, StarWars.com gets a first look at a legendary Jedi Master as we’ve never seen him before. 

“For 800 years have I trained Jedi.”

Yoda lived a long, legendary life. But we’ve only known him through his final act — in the last days of the Republic and Jedi Order, and during the training of Luke Skywalker. In Star Wars: The

For the artist known as PhaseRunner, holiday marathons of the Star Wars saga would come to make a lasting impact.

“Christmas in the ‘90s was never complete without me and my brothers huddling around the TV to watch Star Wars,” he tells StarWars.com. “The promise of adventure these movies offered has stayed with me through my entire personal and professional life.”

Indeed, that “promise of adventure” forms the basis of PhaseRunner’s own Star Wars trilogy, of sorts. In three new, stunning paintings from ACME Archives, the artist depicts famous Star Wars craft arriving at some of the saga’s most iconic planets, with the massive, boldly-colored worlds conveying a real sense of mystery at what awaits.

“The inspiration for my Dagobah, Mustafar, and Tatooine pieces came from those iconic moments you
