The Beans Strike Back as Star Wars Comes to Fall Guys

The Beans from Fall Guys are ringing in May the 4th this year with a special upgrade — the announcement of new Star Wars content in-game, featuring four new costumes and other fun themed to Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

Starting next week, dress your Beans as Han Solo joy-riding on the top of a Millennium Falcon and his faithful co-pilot Chewbacca, heroes of the Rebel Alliance. Or join the Empire with costumes modeled after Boba Fett’s Mandalorian armor and classic stormtrooper gear.

The collaboration also includes some in-game cosmetics, like a Sarlacc Pit escape sequence perfect for devouring your enemies and a Carbon Freezing Chamber element, inspired by Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, that can trap your Beans in Carbonite.

The Fall Guys campaign will be live May 7

Star Wars: Tales of the Empire Is Here!

The Republic has fallen and now a new Empire will rise.

Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, a new six-part animated anthology in the style of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, has arrived on Disney+.

Created by Dave Filoni, the series of shorts devotes three episodes each to established characters revealing key moments not previously explored on screen. In Tales of the Empire, journey into the fearsome Galactic Empire through the eyes of two warriors on divergent paths — Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth and former Jedi Barriss Offee. We’ll learn how a young Morgan survives the annihilation of her clan and navigates the expanding Imperial galaxy on a path of vengeance in alliance with Thrawn. Meanwhile, former Jedi Padawan Offee gets a second chance as a member of the Inquisitorius serving

In How NOT to Draw R2-D2, C-3PO is Caught Up by Jawas and Madness

A gaggle of Jawas turned loose on an animator’s desk have gotten more than they bargained for this Star Wars Day.

In the new short How NOT to Draw R2-D2, an illustration tutorial for the astromech quickly turns into a game of hot potato with C-3PO’s head after a group of scavenging Jawas shows up at the drawing board. Watch as the mayhem, narrated by Star Wars icon Mark Hamill with Anthony Daniels reprising his beloved role as C-3PO, unfolds!

“Creating an R2-D2 short was one of our ‘pie in the sky’ dreams for our How NOT to Draw team,” director Steve Hirt tells StarWars.com. Each installment of the whimsical Disney Channel series parodies drawing how-tos, turning the illustrations loose on the real-world for hilarious hijinks. “My dad worked as a

Autodesk Launches New Droid Design Contest in Celebration of May the 4th

There’s a new droid in the galaxy, and Autodesk is celebrating.

The highly-anticipated Star Wars series, The Acolyte, will introduce Pip: a chipper, handheld repair droid customized with a wide array of tool attachments, who’s always eager to help. Pip was developed by creature effects legend Neal Scanlan, who used Autodesk’s Fusion software to bring the lovable droid to life. 

To honor both Pip’s debut in The Acolyte and Star Wars Day, Lucasfilm and Autodesk, a global leader in technology and software for Design and Make industries, are teaming up to launch a limited-time droid-design contest*. Fans can go to autodesk.com/droid to submit their own designs for a chance to win special grand prizes including a trip to and guided tour of the Lucasfilm headquarters at the Presidio in San

Apple Debuts New Commercial Starring Star Wars Fans

Sometimes, a Mandalorian could use a little help finding their clan. That’s the story told in a new commercial from Apple and Lucasfilm for the iPhone 15 “Precision Finding for Find My Friends” feature.

Directed by Kim Gehrig and debuting in time for Star Wars Day, the clever spot follows a Mandalorian costumer (played by real-life fan Owen) as he journeys to meet up with friends at a local con. He starts off the day feeding his cat, Leia, and checking for the essentials (“Keys, phone, thermal detonator”), before heading out. He picks up a boba tea (naturally), grabs the bus, and uses his iPhone 15 to chat with and find his Mandalorian clan. Finally together, they share greetings and some in-sync head-bobs to Channel Tres’ “All My

The Saga of Barriss Offee

Barriss Offee is a friend, a student, a prodigy. And to some, a traitor.

First appearing on-screen in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Barriss was the young Mirialan Padawan of another Mirialan, Jedi Master Luminara Unduli. With stark black tattoos across the bridge of her green-skinned nose, Barriss was hard to miss, even in the background of the Jedi delegation present in Chancellor Palpatine’s office.

She was also on the ground during the initial Battle of Geonosis, wielding her blue lightsaber to protect the Republic alongside her master. But she did not enjoy the field of battle, preferring studying and learning to fighting, and in fact suffered a great amount of distress and nightmares afterward.

Though Barriss has exceptional skills, she did not consider herself a warrior by any means. Nevertheless, she

What Do We Know About Morgan Elsbeth?

“Where is Grand Admiral Thrawn?”

After Ahsoka Tano uttered these words in Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian, Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth quickly cemented herself as one of the most mysterious and intriguing villains in the entire galaxy. How does this cold, seemingly innocuous bureaucrat know Thrawn? What is the rest of her story?

A Force-sensitive Nightsister witch, Morgan Elsbeth was one of the few who survived the massacre of her people during the Clone Wars. Fueled by rage and an intense sense of revenge, she then built a business empire for herself, constructing ships for the Imperial Starfleet while simultaneously destroying worlds to harvest their resources. It was during this time that she first interacted with Mitth’raw’nuruodo, the Chiss Imperial better known as Thrawn. She became his loyal follower, and eventually devoted

In Tales of the Empire, Meredith Salenger Reconnects with Barriss Offee

Meredith Salenger, like the rest of us, has been waiting a decade to find out what became of Barriss Offee. “I was left wondering forever just like the fans!” Salenger tells StarWars.com. “Dave [Filoni] told me there were things to come for her, but he never said what.”

The actor stood in a line that wrapped around the block when she went to see Star Wars: A New Hope in theaters with her father the first time and her affinity for the galaxy far, far away only grew when she was first cast to voice Barriss in the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. “Just being in the booth with Dave Filoni is so special because he gives you such a great backstory on the character,” Salenger says. “After
