Well, the world of Lucasfilm just got a lot clearer. “The Mandalorian” season four? Nope, as we just reported, instead, Jon Favreau will be directing a movie tentatively titled, for now, “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” That’s a surprise movie because previously, we only knew of three movies in the works: one from Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (‘The Jedi Order’ film with Rey), one from James Mangold (the ‘Dawn Of the Jedi’ about the origins of the Jedi, and one from Dave Filoni (presumed to be “Heir To The Empire” which will be the finale of all the Disney+ stories with the Mandalorian on the big screen).

The race for the Costume Design Academy Award is still up in the air, but no matter what happens, Holly Waddington and Jacqueline Duran will always have their 2024 Costume Designer Awards wins. The pair took Excellence in Period Film for “Poor Things” and Excellence in Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film for “Barbie,” respectively.

Following the “Star Wars: Ahsoka” series created by writer/director/producer Dave Filoni, who wrote all eight episodes himself and directed two, Lucasfilm has named the filmmaker the Chief Creative Officer at the company. “Now I’m what’s called chief creative officer of Lucasfilm,” Filoni told Vanity Fair this week, and noting the role will place him in the early development process of all “Star Wars” projects and in a much more expansive capacity than his previous advisory duties.

Ahsoka, the latest live-action Star Wars spin-off series, premiered in August and picked up the story of Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi who first appeared in The Mandalorian season 2.The series, which is streaming on Disney+ and wraps up today (October 3), follows the titular character as she wanders through the galaxy in search of the villain Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen, reprising his voice role from Rebels). Other cast members include Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Natasha Liu Bordizzo.An official synopsis for the show reads: “Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka will follow the former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy.”In a three-star review of Ahsoka season one, NME wrote: “This isn’t the grounded grit of Andor and it isn’t the stripped-back sweep of The Mandalorian nor the multiplex ambition of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but Ahoska has more than enough of its own charm and electricity to be something greater than filler.”At the time of writing, Ahsoka has not been renewed for a second season.

Ahsoka.In the newest episode of the Star Wars spin-off TV series, Hayden Christensen made a return as his beloved character, to the joy of fans.One fan described Anakin’s entrance through the haze and transition into Darth Vader as “probably the best shot I have ever seen in Star Wars,” with another saying: “Anakin Skywalker referencing his son Luke Skywalker to Ahsoka meant everything to me.”#AHSOKA this is probably the best shot i have ever seen in star wars.

Star Wars fans have one key gripe about the first two episodes of Ahsoka, involving a certain character’s survival.At the end of the show’s first episode, Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) is stabbed in the stomach during a lightsaber duel with Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno).While it appeared as if she had been killed, Sabine is seen alive in a hospital bed in the next episode – with no explanation as to how she survived.This isn’t the first time a Star Wars character has survived a seemingly fatal lightsaber wound. In the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, Third Sister Reva (Moses Ingram) survives a stab wound from Darth Vader, while the Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) is similarly brought back to life following a lightsaber injury.Darth Maul was also revived in Star Wars: The Clone Wars despite being cut in half in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.Following Sabine’s survival in Ahsoka, many have since pointed out the inconsistencies with past deaths in the Star Wars franchise – namely Qui-Gon Jinn’s (Liam Neeson) death after he’s stabbed in the stomach by Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace.“I don’t know how I feel about yet again someone getting stabbed in the stomach by a lightsaber and surviving,” one viewer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.Another added: “Besides Sabine getting stabbed in the abdomen and surviving, the two episodes were solid.

Star Wars has finally confirmed the identity of the masked lightsaber wielder from the Ahsoka trailers. According to the official Star Wars website, the character’s name is Marrok. While they wear the armor of an Inquisitor, that life is long behind them.

With “The Book of Boba Fett” in the rearview, Lucasfilm is putting its attention towards other upcoming streaming series. The third season of “The Mandalorian” is the most recent “Star Wars” show to go in front of cameras, even though star Pedro Pascal has been shooting “The Last of Us” in Calgary, Alberta simultaneously.

Lucasfilm might still be struggling to bring movies to the big screen (see the indefinitely delayed Patty Jenkins “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron” project), but they are having much better luck on Disney+ and television. The next major direction the company seems to be pushing towards is bringing as many of their beloved animated characters into a live-action environment.
