Star Wars and Halloween: the perfect mashup for the ultimate frighteningly fun tee.

It’s not your imagination — there’s a monster lurking in your house!

Add the unnerving trash compactor monster to your home décor with a fun Halloween craft. The dianoga, as it’s also called, first creeped out fans in Star Wars: A New Hope, and you can also spot a smaller specimen at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Make your own dianoga to pop up from behind a sofa or peek out the window to add Star Wars flair to the most spine-tingling time of year!

One of the most popular modern lightsabers is coming to our galaxy — thanks to you.

Following a challenge on the Disney Parks Blog, the Jedi weapon of Cal Kestis — Padawan survivor of Order 66 and starring hero of 2019’s critically acclaimed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order video game — will make its way to Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge later next year. Cal’s will be the first lightsaber offered at Dok’s to have originated from a video game, and joins other iconic legacy lightsabers including Luke Skywalker, Rey, Darth Vader, and more, in the collection.

For those who count Kestis among their favorite characters or loved Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, this will be a day long remembered.

In addition, even more memorable legacy lightsabers

For fans of the Force and sneaker fashion, nothing compares to the combined strength of Star Wars and adidas.

Adidas, one of the world’s most iconic brands and longtime collaborators with Lucasfilm, have just launched a new line celebrating 40 years of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. With offerings ranging from white-and-lightsaber-blue Luke Skywalker Stan Smith sneakers to shimmering all-gold C-3PO high tops, the series is a beautifully-designed expression of fandom — with more to come. StarWars.com caught up with adidas designer Till Jagla to talk about the line and merging “the best of both worlds.”

StarWars.com: When it comes to incorporating a license into fashion, the design can go in several directions: subtle, over-the-top, retro, modern, etc. For adidas’s Star Wars sneakers, how did you dial in on an

Star Wars has always been a genre mashup. Samurai films, Westerns, and Saturday matinee serials are all part of the magic mix of the saga. And over the years, Star Wars has infused everything from monster movies (Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ “The Zillo Beast”) to straight-up gothic horror (IDW Publishing’s Tales from Vader’s Castle series). But now, something new — and definitely unexpected — is inspiring the galaxy far, far away.

“We found ourselves talking about holiday specials,” James Waugh, vice president, franchise content and strategy at Lucasfilm, tells StarWars.com, “and the heritage of sitting down and watching holiday specials every year, and how beloved and timeless those things are. When looking at what to do next with LEGO Star Wars, it kind of went from there.”

To celebrate the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Disney+, we’re undertaking a full chronological rewatch of the five original seasons, The Lost Missions, and the theatrical release.

116: “The Disappeared” (Season Six, Episode 8)

“Without darkness there cannot be light.”

Synopsis:

The peaceful world of Bardotta and its mystic ways are threatened by an ancient prophecy, and its top spiritual leaders have vanished. Queen Julia of Bardotta calls for help from her most trusted friend in the Senate, Jar Jar Binks. Recognizing the importance of Bardotta’s spiritual balance, the Jedi Council sends Mace Windu to accompany Binks and investigate.

Do you hear that? It’s like a low hum. Stand still and you might feel something brush past your leg. Did you see it swimming by? Be careful or it could pull you under.

You’re not imagining things, it’s a dianoga!

The tentacled creepy critter that made its debut in Star Wars: A New Hope will make you think twice every time you pass a trash chute. Memorable for its singular oculus, the monster perfectly blends into a Star Wars-themed Halloween snack table.

These dianoga meatballs resemble the foul creature but are decidedly more delicious, even if it seems as if it’s always staring at you. (It is.)

When the pandemic hit earlier this year and much of the country went into lockdown, Brandon Jackson decided to make the most of the situation. Meaning, of course, he broke out his Star Wars action figures.

But not to play with.

“One thing I’d missed doing is taking photos of my figures,” Brandon, the focus of a new episode of Our Star Wars Stories, tells StarWars.com. “I set up the full studio in my garage. I broke out all the lights, backdrops, and got the smoke going, and tried to pose them as lifelike as possible.” The result is an atmospheric shot of Supreme Leader Snoke’s praetorian guards from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and as a return to one of his favorite hobbies, it stands as a personal favorite of
