Dee Bradley Baker loves a good challenge when it comes to crafting the voice for a new character. “It’s really fun to do characters that are not speaking English in Star Wars,” he tells StarWars.com.

For decades, the longtime Star Wars voice actor has helped create an eclectic group of characters in animated series and video games. From voicing all the clone troopers in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch to the merqaal Nix in the soon-to-be released video game Star Wars Outlaws, if there’s a Star Wars project that needs voice actors, it’s highly likely Baker is a part of the crew.

As the animated series Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures sees the debut of its second season today, Baker, the voice of the fan-favorite character Nubs in the

Tyler Bergantino and Gabby Gonzalez immediately had two things in common when they met. At 6’7” and 6’2”, respectively, they’re both known for being tall influencers with online content centered around their height. And they both loved Star Wars so much they had each named a pet Leia.

Their mutual adoration of a galaxy far, far away came up naturally on their first date a few months ago. And this weekend, they attended D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event dressed in full cosplay.

Bergantino dressed in full Jedi robes, carrying the lightsaber hilt of Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s former Master. And Gonzalez wore a full Padmé Amidala jumpsuit, prepared to fight her way out of the Geonosis arena.

Gonzalez wasn’t always so brave, she admits. As a child, her family loved to

“What if we could go anywhere we want in the whole galaxy?”

This December, we’re ready to get lost in space on a new Star Wars quest asking exactly that.

Today at D23 we got our first look at Skeleton Crew with the first trailer and key art introducing the curious protagonists: Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), and their motley crew: the mysterious and enigmatic Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) and the droid SM-33 (voiced by Nick Frost), the decrepit first mate of the Onyx Cinder. The cast also includes Tunde Adebimpe and Kerry Condon.

The series, created by Spider-Man Homecoming director Jon Watts and writer Christopher Ford, who also serve as the showrunners, follows along as the kids get lost in a strange and

First came Darth Jar Jar. Now, Vader swapping his Sith Lord armor for a sleek white version, a bounty hunting C-3PO calculating the odds with glowing red eyes, and a squad of Ackbar Clone Troopers all shouting “It’s a trap!” are all very clear signs that this isn’t the galaxy far, far away that we’re used to. To quote LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy’s Mace Windu: this party’s just getting started.

During D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, the new official trailer for LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy was revealed ahead of a special presentation featuring Dan Hernandez (showrunner, writer, executive producer), Benji Samit (showrunner, writer, executive producer), and James Waugh (executive producer and Lucasfilm senior vice president, Franchise Content & Strategy). Content herding nerfs and sharing tales

Star Wars cosplayers gathered during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event Friday, an eclectic crew of Disney mash-ups of princesses and Mandalorians, Marvel-inspired Twi’leks, and enough Padmé Amidalas to fill every Naboo Royal Handmaidens’ chair.

Here are just a handful of our favorites and the stories behind their costumes…

The Stranger

Although he recently cosplayed as Carson Teva from The Mandalorian at San Diego Comic-Con, for Kevin Korionoff, a Filipino American, seeing Manny Jacinto front and center on screen in The Acolyte was especially moving.

For D23, Korionoff donned the cortosis helmet of the Stranger, taking inspiration from the series to build his costume. His black outfit was a modified aikido top, a nod to the samurai inspiration that also influenced filmmakers and costume designers, with the sleeves removed. “You know, you gotta

Have you ever caught yourself looking at a new lightsaber design and thought „This will make a fine addition to my collection!“?

Well, you’re not alone. But beyond keeping company with General Grievous himself, an avid lightsaber collector, our love of lightsabers got us thinking: If you went on your own gathering quest and built a lightsaber hilt all your own, what color would your lightsaber be?

Choose wisely…

At next week’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, get ready to step inside your own Star Wars story through the magic of Stagecraft.

During the three-day event this year, you’ll also have the chance to learn more about your favorite Star Wars series, and celebrate a trio of Star Wars legends: the maestro John Williams, Han Solo actor Harrison Ford, and Frank Oz, the voice and puppeteer behind Yoda. And while we can’t wait to report back on everything we learn at the Disney Entertainment Showcase, where there is sure to be a segment devoted to forthcoming Lucasfilm titles, there is so much to see and do on the show floor before and after the panel event! Here’s a closer look at your guide to all the Star Wars excitement throughout

The Acolyte visual effects supervisor Julian Foddy

A good monster fight remains a staple in fantasy and science-fiction storytelling. In Lucasfilm’s The Acolyte, the various encounters with the umbramoths on the planet Khofar make for not only entertaining action but important storytelling as well. “They attempt to attack Osha, are sliced up by Sol, and ultimately they take the Stranger away. They were a great challenge,” Industrial Light & Magic’s production visual effects supervisor Julian Foddy explains.

Initially, according to Foddy, the umbramoths were imagined to be insectoid creatures who emerged from “cocoon-like sacks” hanging from the trees. The design then evolved to be similar to large pill bugs who wrap themselves around the trees and sleep during the day before taking flight in the evening. Their depiction involved a collaboration
