Moff Gideon is back, and he’s bringing some friends — to Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022. 

StarWars.com is pleased to announce that even more celebrity guests will appear at Star Wars Celebration this May, including some infamous ex-Imperials from The Mandalorian.

Doctor Pershing, the cowardly scientist tasked with conducting nefarious research. This will be the first Star Wars Celebration appearance for both, and there’s more reason to get excited.

We’ll soon say “Hello there!” to Obi-Wan Kenobi — a little later than expected, but with a surprise bonus.

Ewan McGregor, star of the Disney+ limited series as the titular Jedi Master, announced today that Obi-Wan Kenobi will now premiere on Friday, May 27. Instead of just one episode, however, fans will be treated to the first two installments at launch, with subsequent episodes debuting each Wednesday. Watch McGregor’s message below:

The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, in which Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat — the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side and became the evil Sith Lord, Darth Vader.

“This is interesting,” the woman said. She stood up, her cloak flowing back down to rest, and she presented the device in front of the gathered Neimoidians. “I’ve never seen such elaborate plating on a scanning device.”

Before our sneak peek of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, TT Games’ studio head Michael Denny introduces the game as the series’ “biggest” and “best” entry yet. Thirty or so minutes later, as I watch a playable rancor tear through Coruscant’s Federal Square, sending scared citizens scurrying in every direction, I realize he’s not kidding.

Of course, Denny’s claims are further confirmed during StarWars.com’s hands-on time with the game, where I take a number of the title’s new features for a test drive. While LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga adapts many of the same films that have already received the LEGO treatment in previous games, it’s offering an entirely fresh, updated take on the galaxy far, far away. Rebuilt and re-imagined from the ground up, it not only

After battling it out with a lightsaber, wrapping up a smuggler’s run, or turning in a fresh bounty, it’s time to relax. Good thing the Star Wars galaxy offers some of the coolest nightspots this side of wild space. The next time you land your starfighter, consider one of these seven venues for live music, exotic food and drink, or maybe a game of chance.

This Tatooine watering hole attracts a rough and tumble crowd, but even scum and villainy need a place to unwind. Inside the darkened tavern, smugglers rub elbows with bounty hunters and criminals tip back libations alongside star pilots.

It’s time for your younglings to begin their training — in the kitchen.

StarWars.com is excited to reveal Insight Editions’ Star Wars: The Padawan Cookbook: Kid-Friendly Recipes from a Galaxy Far, Far Away, a new collection of fun Star Wars-inspired recipes designed for parents and kids alike.

Star Wars Inside Intel is a StarWars.com feature where Lucasfilm’s Emily Shkoukani, whose job is to know as much about a galaxy far, far away as possible, explores obscure facts about Star Wars lore and continuity. In this installment, Emily explores the city-planet of Coruscant…

One of the most iconic planets of the galaxy far, far away, Coruscant first appeared in the now-Legends (i.e., previous continuity) novel Star Wars: Heir to the Empire, where it was established as the capital of the New Republic. George Lucas then incorporated the planet into his films, and Coruscant made its on-screen debut in the 1997 Special Edition of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. In its brief scene, the city-planet bustles in celebration after learning of the demise of Emperor Palpatine. In 1999’s

In the halls of the Halcyon starcruiser, Padmé Amidala’s travel cloak is a popular fashion statement, swishing along as passengers enjoy the amenities of a Toniray, the teal-colored libation that hails from Leia Organa’s home planet of Alderaan, on their way to the Crown of Corellia dining room where a Taste Around the Galaxy multi-course meal awaits.

For the creative minds behind Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the new two-night immersive experience now open at Walt Disney World Resort, no detail was too small in the planning stages for an innovative new way to step inside the Star Wars galaxy in every sense — and with all your senses engaged.

“We really started this whole project with a clean slate,” says Brian Piasecki, the culinary director in concept development for the
