We’re all been embarrassed by our parents at one point or another. And when we meet Anni, the young pilot is trying her best to pretend her outspoken mum, Kalina, their creaky tug, and their aging droid don’t belong to her. But we can’t escape where we come from, and ultimately Anni learns that love prevails in a coming-of-age story directed by Magdalena Osinska. In “I Am Your Mother,” Anni discovers that her dear

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi arrived in theaters on May 25, 1983, bringing an end to the original trilogy in memorable fashion. Marking its 40th anniversary, StarWars.com presents “Jedi at 40,” a series of articles celebrating the film that brought us Jabba’s palace, Ewoks, Luke Skywalker’s final confrontation with the Emperor and Darth Vader, and so much more.

It’s always a good time to revisit Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, especially when the film is enjoying its 40th anniversary. But while many scenes are fun to watch on repeat — from searching the shadows of Jabba’s Palace to discover new creatures to attempting to identify all the Ewoks on Endor — if you’re watching Return of the Jedi on Disney+, don’t overlook the moments that didn’t make the

“I Am Your Mother” is a stop-motion Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 short from legendary UK-based animation studio, Aardman. While the saga has had a robust history of using this time-honored technique in its movies and television shows, from the Dejarik chess players in Star Wars: A New Hope to the “scrapwalkers” in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, this is the first time that it has been used to tell a full, official story in the Star Wars galaxy.

The short film follows the relationship between a young Twi’lek student named Anni (short for Annisoukaline) and her doting mother, Kalina, who, while initially distant and struggling in their relationship,

Of all the fantastical escapades their on-screen counterparts get into in the new Disney+ series Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, it’s hard for Jamaal Avery Jr. and Juliet Donenfeld to pick just one to experience in real life.

“Is all an answer?” Avery — the voice of Kai Brightstar — asks with a laugh, before they agree that riding speeders and fighting pirates with lightsabers would be their top picks. “That and flying one of the ships, too,” he adds.

The actors behind on-screen best friends and Jedi younglings Kai Brightstar and Donenfeld’s Lys Solay often erupt into giggles as they answer questions about creating the show, geared toward the youngest Star Wars fans and their families. The first episodes arrived on May the 4th, Star Wars Day, but it was

Iskat Akaris, a Padawn of the Republic, has only ever known peace.

But in the upcoming novel, Star Wars: Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade by Delilah S. Dawson, as she and the rest of the Jedi Order are called in to aid Obi-Wan Kenobi before he is executed on Geonosis, she finds herself preparing for battle.

Today, This Week! In Star Wars and StarWars.com are thrilled to reveal poster art of Iskat by VooDoo Val, which can only be found in the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition of the book.

And in StarWars.com’s exclusive excerpt of the book, a first look at the text which arrives July 18, Padawan Akaris and her Master set down on sandy Geonosis to find the situation is far more complex and political than they

Hope and family are constant themes in Star Wars, and Punkrobot’s Star Wars: Visions short, “In the Stars,” is a beautiful exploration of those motifs. The story follows two orphaned sisters, Koten and Tichina, who have seen the Empire pillage their planet and destroy their people, including their mother. While Koten has grown somewhat cynical, the younger Tichina still believes they can win, and finally challenges their occupiers. Directed by Gabriel Osorio Vargas, “In

Marvel has taken its popular Black, White & Red anthology line — tales told in only the titular colors and featuring the most intense characters — to the galaxy far, far away. Naturally, the Star Wars version centers on Darth Vader, showcasing the Sith Lord at his worst.

In StarWars.com’s first look at issue #2, featuring stories by Jason Aaron (“Hard Shutdown Part 2”), David Pepose (“The Endless Mercy”), and Victoria Ying (“Power”), the Dark Lord of the Sith finds himself in very different situations. As Aaron’s tale continues, Vader is captured by a vengeful foe; “The Endless Mercy” sees the Sith Lord investigating a derelict ship; and Ying’s story first follows a young boy visiting a local market, with no sign of the Empire. Yet. Check out

Just as the island of Skellig Michael’s rocky coast and humble huts made the perfect setting for the watery world of Ahch-To in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the striking terrain of nearby County Kerry in Ireland inspired the creators at Cartoon Saloon. But Screecher’s Reach is more than a moody landscape. Merging tales of banshees from Irish folklore, the red-bladed lightsabers of the Sith, and a naïve young protagonist who feels destined for greater

“Sith” is the first new short film that audiences will see when starting their Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 journey. Written and directed by animation veteran Rodrigo Blaas, with incredible work from his Spain-based El Guiri Studios, “Sith” follows the Force-sensitive (and former Sith) Lola and her trusty droid E2, who both live on an isolated world and are searching for artistic inspiration. But this peaceful life does not last; Lola’s old master tracks her down, leading to an ultimate duel between them. Through it all, “Sith” provides an incredible experience that is visually unlike anything seen in Star Wars.

Before work on this project began, Blaas’ career was

One of the biggest — and most welcome — surprises to come from Lucasfilm in recent years has been Star Wars: Visions. In the first season, or volume, of the series, the company set some of Japan’s best anime studios free in the Star Wars galaxy, untethered to previous storytelling or any established style. The results were creative and original, with takes on Star Wars that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Thankfully, the show is back,
