Star Was official

In a world where Dark Lords, threatening creatures, and witches reside, visual storytelling calls for the right kind of goosebump-raising musical accompaniment. Star Wars soundtracks have plenty of that, a fact that inspired StarWars.com to gather some of the creepiest cuts in the catalog. The following selections prove to be perfect ear candy for a Halloween playlist…

1. “The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme)”

Arguably one of legendary composer John Williams’ greatest achievements, “The Imperial March” signals the arrival of doom like nothing else. For many, the song’s ominous string intro and menacing horns instantly conjure up images of Darth Vader. Epically anthemic with a driving, military feel, it’s also the audible embodiment of the looming, tyrannical rule of the Empire. The piece debuted in Star Wars: The Empire

The Star Wars galaxy is home to a vast range of creatures, many of which are very cute. But for every porg there’s an acklay. And for every tauntaun there’s a wampa. 

It’s officially scary season, and there’s no better way to ring in these terrifying times than with a list of 20 creepy creatures that occupy every dark corner of the galaxy. (Before we get started, let’s give an honorable mention to Bor Gullet, who does not make the list. Truth is, we’re still not sure what exactly it is. Also, while terrifying, its name is too fun to say.)

1. Exogorth (Space Slug)

Sometimes a cave is not a cave. Popularly known as a “space slug,” the exogorth carries the rare ability to swallow starships whole. The Millennium Falcon

Phase II of Star Wars: The High Republic is here!

Last week at New York Comic Con, we got our first look at covers and interior pages from several forthcoming books and comics in the Star Wars: The High Republic initiative. And today on a brand-new episode of Star Wars: The High Republic Show, our guest host Kristin Baver revealed even more character concept art from the series and a glimpse inside her forthcoming book, The Art of Star Wars: The High Republic.

We first met her in Phase I, but today we got our first look at concept art for a younger version of Sav Malagán and an interior page from Dark Horse’s Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #1.

You know her from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,

It’s that time of year when terrifying tricks and indulgent treats combine for a fun-filled Halloween! Not all tricks have to be frightening, in fact they can be downright adorable. Even Grogu is getting in on the Hallo’s Eve action by donning a little ghostly costume and carrying a tiny pumpkin. 

These matcha cookies are draped in fondant and give the illusion of a happy, wee Grogu heading out for a spirited night of holiday fun.

The rebellion has begun! Andor is now streaming on Disney+, following the fan-favorite rebel in a tale set five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and we’re watching. Join StarWars.com every week for Andor Analyzed, in which we list the best moments from each episode.

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,

Darth Vader left his mother and Tatooine behind long ago, but the person he used to be still lingers somewhere deep inside the fearsome armor.
