After battling it out with a lightsaber, wrapping up a smuggler’s run, or turning in a fresh bounty, it’s time to relax. Good thing the Star Wars galaxy offers some of the coolest nightspots this side of wild space. The next time you land your starfighter, consider one of these seven venues for live music, exotic food and drink, or maybe a game of chance.

This Tatooine watering hole attracts a rough and tumble crowd, but even scum and villainy need a place to unwind. Inside the darkened tavern, smugglers rub elbows with bounty hunters and criminals tip back libations alongside star pilots. In Star Wars: A New Hope, it’s where Luke and Obi-Wan meet Chewie and Han, Greedo shoots first, and Ponda Baba gets

It’s time for your younglings to begin their training — in the kitchen.

StarWars.com is excited to reveal Insight Editions’ Star Wars: The Padawan Cookbook: Kid-Friendly Recipes from a Galaxy Far, Far Away, a new collection of fun Star Wars-inspired recipes designed for parents and kids alike.

“Creating Star Wars recipes for this book allowed me to show kids that cooking can be fun and an adventure worthwhile within itself,” Fujikawa tells StarWars.com. “In this cookbook there are 10 Jedi trials.

Star Wars Inside Intel is a StarWars.com feature where Lucasfilm’s 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 explores the city-planet of Coruscant…

One of the most iconic planets of the galaxy far, far away, Coruscant first appeared in the now-Legends (i.e., previous continuity) novel Star Wars: Heir to the Empire, where it was established as the capital of the New Republic. George Lucas then incorporated the planet into his films, and Coruscant made its on-screen debut in the 1997 Special Edition of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. In its brief scene, the city-planet bustles in celebration after learning of the demise of Emperor Palpatine. In 1999’s

In the halls of the Halcyon starcruiser, Padmé Amidala’s travel cloak is a popular fashion statement, swishing along as passengers enjoy the amenities of a Toniray, the teal-colored libation that hails from Leia Organa’s home planet of Alderaan, on their way to the Crown of Corellia dining room where a Taste Around the Galaxy multi-course meal awaits.

For the creative minds behind Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the new two-night immersive experience now open at Walt Disney World Resort, no detail was too small in the planning stages for an innovative new way to step inside the Star Wars galaxy in every sense — and with all your senses engaged.

“We really started this whole project with a clean slate,” says Brian Piasecki, the culinary director in concept development for the

One of the great things about Star Wars is that it inspires endless debates and opinions on a wide array of topics. Best bounty hunter? Most powerful Jedi? Does Salacious Crumb have the best haircut in the saga? In that spirit, StarWars.com presents From a Certain Point of View: a series of point-counterpoints on some of the biggest — and most fun — Star Wars issues. In this installment, two StarWars.com writers take a stand on which film makes the best introduction for a newcomer to the franchise.

Star Wars: A New Hope is the perfect introduction, says Carlos. 

No one would ever describe me as a traditionalist. In fact, I like to think that I’ve lived my life and built my career taking risks and, at many junctions, walking the road less traveled. However, when it comes to

Krrsantan racing toward you? It’s probably the last thing you’d want to see — unless it’s on the cover of a comic book.

Marvel is celebrating the Wookiee bounty hunter — who recently made his live-action debut in The Book of Boba Fett — with Krrsantan: Star Wars Tales #1, a new collection of his greatest comics hits. StarWars.com is excited to reveal the special one-shot’s cover, illustrated by Salvador Larocca, featuring a charging, and seemingly very angry, Krrsantan.

Krrsantan: Star Wars Tales #1, arriving on May the 4th (or Star Wars Day), collects Star Wars (2015) #14-15 and #20, as well as Star Wars: Doctor Aphra Annual #1, which include Krrsantan’s rumble with Obi-Wan Kenobi set between Episodes III and IV, his epic clash with fellow Wookiee warrior Chewbacca, and finally,

It’s like something from a dream.

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable and Luke’s worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace.

Today, StarWars.com is pleased to reveal the cover of the forthcoming novel Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith, tracing Luke and Lando’s quest to find Exegol in a story set between the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens and featuring Ochi of Bestoon, the Sith assassin first introduced in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
