Star Wars official

Matt Lanter achieved Star Wars immortality with his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the animated series that delved further into the Jedi’s heroic years. But his Star Wars story didn’t end there, as Lanter surprised fans with a memorable live-action cameo in The Mandalorian, playing a New Republic soldier aboard a prison ship. In Star Wars Insider #201, Lanter talks to Bryan Cairns about his journey as Skywalker and beyond in a galaxy far, far away; check out StarWars.com’s exclusive excerpt of the interview below and look for the magazine in stores and digital this week!

Matt Lanter: The Animated Anakin

“I actually had no idea I was auditioning for Anakin Skywalker,” says Matt Lanter of landing one of the lead roles in Lucasfilm’s animated series Star Wars: The Clones Wars

Poised and determined to continue the fight, Leia Organa stands among the snowcapped mountains, her regal cloaks billowing around her, a blue-bladed lightsaber at her side, ignited and ready for yet another battle. To quote Luke Skywalker, it’s “like something out of a dream.” Or perhaps, as your eyes glide beyond the horizon and the shadow of an Imperial Star Destroyer snaps into focus, it’s more accurate to say it’s a nightmare for the young rebel hero.

This is the image that greets us in a stunning new painting called “Until Our Last Breath” by Christophe Vacher, headed to Acme Archives as a limited print starting today. In the romantic and dramatic piece, Vacher says he envisioned the Leia Organa we glimpsed in a flashback scene in Star Wars: The

We’ve all known the pure delight of ripping open a brand new Star Wars action figure or imagined ourselves in the cockpit of one of the many high-flying hunks of junk in a galaxy far, far away, alongside our loyal Wookiee co-pilot, Chewbacca. In his new book, Star Wars: I Wish I Had a Wookiee, Ian Doescher explores these playful hallmarks of childhood with a collection of over 75 whimsical and original poems illustrated by Tim Budgen.

Today, StarWars.com is excited to reveal the charming cover art for the forthcoming book as well as two exclusive spreads featuring the titular poem as well as “Dad’s Luke Skywalker Figurine.” In a format reminiscent of the often absurdly hilarious books by Shel Silverstein, Budgen’s artwork visualizes a 10-year-old’s dreams of playing fetch with

Say what you will about the tyrannical government of a galaxy far, far away, but one thing’s for sure: the Empire had style. And the LEGO Group is bringing that Imperial flair for design home with three new sets made for adult collectors and intended for display.

Coming April 26 and available for pre-order now, devotees of the Empire can look forward to striking new busts of Darth Vader and the Scout Trooper, as well as a model of the Imperial Probe Droid, complete with movable tentacles and Hoth-inspired base. The LEGO Group sent finished builds of each set to StarWars.com for an early look — we also got to assemble the Probe Droid, a challenging but rewarding build that only took a few hours — and we’re pleased to report

When I started writing Skywalker: A Family At War, we had already been in lockdown for about 105 days. The COVID-19 pandemic had suddenly and irrevocably thrust the world into a strange new era of isolated uncertainty, as the virus ravaged millions of people. During such a grim period in human history, you can imagine how eager I was to step away from the blaring news headlines and immerse myself in the Skywalker saga.

As Qui-Gon Jinn tells his would-be protégé, “Your focus determines your reality.” The days seemed indistinguishable from one another, but evenings and weekends were reserved for rewatching every piece of Star Wars film and animation that involved the family at the center of the story and rereading every book and comic that touched upon their fictional

It’s time to celebrate Ewoks! The furry friends from the forest moon of Endor are tiny but tough and sometimes worship a golden god. While their allegiance may be misdirected, they are steadfast allies always willing to lend a helping hand.

Though they are carnivorous creatures who’s to say they wouldn’t dabble in a vegetarian lifestyle now and again? These seasoned tofu pockets filled with brown rice look just like the pint-sized warriors and are just as tasty as they are adorable.

Ewok Sushi

You’ll need:

1 package aburaage tofu pouches 1 sheet seaweed 1 slice salami

For the rice:

2 cups brown rice 3 cups water 1/4 cup rice vinegar 3 Tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt

Step 1: Rinse the brown rice until water

Grogu is back — and as usual, he’s hungry.

This October Hasbro will release Galactic Snackin’ Grogu, a new take on the adorable young alien from The Mandalorian, featuring cute sounds, animated motions, and interactive accessories. Living up to his name, Galactic Snackin’ Grogu can munch on several included items, including a blue cookie (no doubt Force-nabbed in school on Nevarro), a bowl of soup with a squid-like creature, and can be fed with a spoon; he’ll also react to each, and will let you know what he likes and what belongs in a trash compactor. In addition, he recognizes and responds to his favorite toy, even appearing to use the Force when playing with it. Inspired by the events of The Mandalorian Season 2, Galactic Snackin’ Grogu looks to

A Jedi meditates. It’s an image we’ve seen before in film, animation, and comics. But not like this.

The ground seems to ripple in waves beneath the Padawan learner; his lightsaber levitates, pointing upward; peering through the windows before him, we see glimpses of X-wings and TIE fighters in battle, while columns cast imposing shadows. Taking a step back, we see that this Padawan sits not in a temple or dojo. Rather, the wall between him and these images of war takes the form of something much darker: the mask of Darth Vader.

This is the work of Huang Hai, a renowned Chinese poster artist who recently offered the world his interpretation of Star Wars with an illustration called “MASTER · Tribute.” Released last month to mark the Lunar New Year,
