While the natural world erupts in a beautiful show of shooting stars over Aldhani, a shootout explodes deep in the Imperial vault. 

In the sixth episode of Andor, forces collide in a thrilling action sequence that pits rebel infiltrators against Imperial soldiers. Traitors are revealed and in a stunning escape, the scant survivors must face a dark reality of the real cost of bringing the fight to the Empire.

It’s hard not to root for Dedra Meero sometimes. The ISB inspector on the trail of the burgeoning rebellion is the hero of her own story, overcoming obstacles and staggering odds on the quest for a complete picture of the anarchy in store for the Empire.

And that’s exactly how Andor creator and executive producer Tony Gilroy wants you to feel. Through a motley crew of new characters and some familiar faces, the writer behind the acclaimed new Star Wars live-action series, now streaming on Disney+, purposefully explores the gray area between good and evil with deft nuance.

Even when we know the minions of the Empire are the bad guys, we still can’t help but find them a little relatable in their struggle. “I can’t imagine writing black and white. I

Star Wars and Halloween go well together. Maybe it’s the dark side and black-clad Sith Lords. Maybe it’s the creepy creatures, like rancors, ice spiders, or brain worms that can reanimate the dead. Maybe it’s the feeling that Star Wars characters are tailor-made for Halloween costumes. Whatever the reason, it’s a combination that fans have enjoyed for decades, and toy giant Hasbro took notice.

This fall, Hasbro will celebrate the combined strength of the scary season and the galaxy far, far away with two new Halloween-themed figures: a skeleton-deco clone trooper and, for lack of better term, a Were-Wookiee, both coming to the popular 6-inch Star Wars: The Black Series line. 

“There’s a lot of fantasy in both Halloween and in Star Wars,” Eric Franer, Hasbro’s product designer for Star Wars,

Fans of Star Wars animation have long been acquainted with Ahsoka Tano, the former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker who walked away from the Jedi Order and joined the rebellion. In the second season of The Mandalorian, the character made the leap to live-action storytelling, a hint at things to come in the forthcoming series, Ahsoka.

In an exclusive excerpt from the deluxe collector’s edition Star Wars: The Mandalorian: Guide to Season Two, learn more about the character and how creators continued her evolution as she stepped out of the mist on Corvus in the first Star Wars live-action series.

With her two lightsabers and strength in the Force, Ahsoka Tano seems like the Jedi Mando has been looking for. Brave and kindhearted, Ahsoka quickly empathizes with Grogu; yet she fears

New beginnings are never easy.

As Andor continues with its fifth episode, “The Axe Forgets,” our principal players wrestle with their current situations — or are preparing for what’s to come. Syril Karn, the disgraced Pre-Mor deputy inspector, has returned home to his mother; Cassian tries to acclimate to his rebel group in anticipation of their heist; and Dedra Meero of the Imperial Security Bureau fights

While promoting Andor, series star Diego Luna was asked about his accent on ABC’s Soul of a Nation. “I love my accent,” Luna said, “and my accent, no one else can bring it.” Luna’s intentional use of his native Mexican inflection — particularly when he first played the role of Cassian Andor in 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story — was to many a notable choice worth celebrating. 

“A lot of my family members speak with an accent,” Zoraida Córdova, author of the upcoming Star Wars: The High Republic: Convergence, tells StarWars.com, “and though we are Ecuadorian and Diego Luna is Mexican, it just felt like home in a way.”
