You know that laugh.

Decades before computer technology would enable filmmakers to render incredible creatures and aliens in photorealistic detail, a much more nuts-and-bolts approach was the order of the day. Beneath the 2,000 pounds of latex, wires, fiberglass, and gaffer tape that were required to make Jabba the Hutt a living, breathing, drooling screen presence in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, there were three talented performers who spent many hours twisting themselves into impossible angles in the cramped, sweaty guts of the crime lord.

In an exclusive excerpt from Star Wars Insider #209, writer Brandon Wainerdi sits down with Toby Philpott, who operated Jabba’s left arm and head, along with his slimy tongue; chief puppeteer David Barclay, who operated Jabba’s right arm and jaw, relaying the Hutt’s dialogue in

It’s easy to see why Ouannii, the Rodian Lumosynth player performing live music aboard the Halcyon starcruiser, and star Twi’lek songstress Gaya have already generated a following. Although the experience just launched this month, voyagers have already been seen wearing Ouannii bounds — ensembles inspired by the color palette and style of the character. And on one test cruise, a passenger donned a Gaya T-shirt, complete with dates from a fictional planet-hopping tour, to show their love for the musician, says Wendy Anderson, executive creative director for Disney Live Entertainment.

The duo bring to mind elements that are quintessentially Star Wars, evoking a more polished and posh version of Mos Eisley’s cantina, teeming with galactic tunes and brimming with otherworldly aliens. And for the first time, they don’t just pass

It almost didn’t happen. Graham Hoete, a.k.a. multi-disciplinary Māori artist Mr G, had shifted his schedule to work on a dream commission: a wooden carving of Boba Fett’s iconic helmet. He crunched and finished the piece on time, always with the goal of presenting it to Temuera Morrison — the Māori actor, and one of Hoete’s greatest heroes, who plays the beloved bounty hunter in The Book of Boba Fett. But due to COVID-19 and the safety challenges it created, the exchange had been delayed several times. Yet there he was in Rotorua, Morrison’s hometown in New Zealand, gifting his art to the man behind the armor.

“It was a beautiful moment,” Hoete tells StarWars.com over Zoom. “It was a bit of an epic life moment for myself.”

These are your first steps into the world of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

This week, Entertainment Weekly pulled back the curtain on the highly-anticipated limited series, coming to Disney+ on May 25, with an exclusive cover story.

The landmark issue — EW’s final print edition before the long-running magazine goes all-digital — features Ewan McGregor’s beloved (and gloriously bearded) Obi-Wan on the cover, while revealing tons of new photos, characters, and story details. Here are just some of the many highlights…from any point of view.

In an in-depth interview with Dalton Ross, McGregor recounted seeing Darth Vader turn up on the Obi-Wan Kenobi set for the first time, the ultimate embrace of the prequels by younger fans, and his Jedi Master’s current state at this point in the timeline —

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga promises to be the biggest LEGOⓇ Star Wars game, in terms of scope, ever. It features the most characters, movies to play through, and gameplay types for players to choose their experience. But there’s one more element that this highly-anticipated game is blowing out.

“We’re going to give them the galaxy,” says LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga senior designer Laurence Gee in a new behind-the-scenes featurette on the game’s planets, which StarWars.com is excited to debut below. And based on this peek under the hood, we’d say they pulled it off.

The game includes most planets seen and visited in the saga films, from Tatooine to Naboo to Ahch-To. As detailed in

If we didn’t know we were staring into the face of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, we might have looked right past him. Since being forced into hiding after Order 66, Kenobi has been lying low, down and out on Tatooine, dealing with the trauma of the annihilation of many in the Jedi Order and losing his faith after his friend and former student, Anakin, fell to the darkness and helped give rise to the Empire. In our first teaser trailer from the forthcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series, streaming exclusively on Disney+ starting on May 25, things are about to get a whole lot more complicated for the bearded and weary guardian of peace, justice, and the son of Skywalker. Here are five of our favorite moments from the trailer.
