Star Wars sequels won't be removed from canon, despite rumors

The Star Wars fan community is once again "outraged in the Force." Fans began asking Lucasfilm to remove sequels from the canon and instead make film adaptations of Timothy Zahn's Thrawn novels.

YouTube bloggers who talk about the franchise quickly noticed this opportunity. Geeks and Gamers claimed that "sources" told them that Ahsoka Season 2 (or later) would cancel the events of Episodes 7-9.

YouTubers quickly realized that modern social media algorithms respond more to anger and rage. Sometimes it reaches an almost comical level. That is why the hate of the series “Acolyte” received a lot of views.

John Boyega met with Lucasfilm - Finn could return to Star Wars

Kathleen Kennedy is no longer president of Lucasfilm, which means Dave Filoni now decides which previously announced films get the green light. Kennedy's presidency was marked by announcements that ultimately came to nothing.

At Star Wars Celebration 2023, we first learned of plans for a Star Wars movie starring Daisy Ridley's Rey Skywalker. Since then, several writers have worked on the project, and it appears that the project has never gotten any closer to production.

Although Ridley was the only confirmed star, other familiar faces were expected to join her. In “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” Rising" there were hints that Finn may be Force-sensitive, making him a likely candidate to join the new Jedi Order.

According to insider Daniel Richtman on social network X, John Boyega has met with Lucasfilm representatives about his return. It is not known where exactly Finn will appear.

Perhaps the hero will return in the new trilogy by Simon Kinberg (X-Men). Filoni reportedly praised Kinberg's work.

The Mandalorian and Grogu are already gaining popularity on Disney+ before they hit theaters

The Mandalorian and Grogu are still weeks away from hitting theaters, but Disney is already using its most powerful Star Wars machine to warm up audiences: Disney+.

The new campaign to promote Star Wars: The Mandalorian and the Grogu special is already showing success on the platform. According to Disney+ chart from FlixPatrol for May 8, the special was among the best television projects in the world, behind only "The Testaments" and "Star Wars: Maul - Master" shadows." ScreenRant and Collider also noted the early success of the special on Disney+ ahead of the film's theatrical release.

This is exactly what Disney wants.

Fan reviews have appeared on the beginning of “The Mandalorian and Grogu” - it doesn’t look like “Star Wars”

There are a lot of rumors — and a lot of skepticism — surrounding the first Star Wars movie in seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu. The released trailers and excerpts caused a lot of controversy.

The first 25 minutes of the film were shown to fans in IMAX format, and they shared their impressions on social networks. It must be remembered that they did not see the entire blockbuster. In addition, Disney is quite smart when it comes to inviting people to such events.

However, these are real Star Wars fans with large online followings, and their opinions matter.

A prequel comic will be released after the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Din Djarin and Grogu are going into comics because apparently having a tiny empire selling green goods wasn't enough for them.

Mad Cave Studios and Papercutz, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Publishing, have announced Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu – Danger in the Dark, a new all-ages comic book set shortly before the events of The Mandalorian series and the Grogu film. The highlight? The comic will be released on July 22, 2026, approximately two months after the film's premiere.

So yes, technically this is a prequel. It also comes after what it precedes. The Star Wars timeline remains unbeatable.

Kathleen Kennedy claims Jon Favreau is promoting Star Wars the same way George Lucas did

Kathleen Kennedy made a very bold comparison—and yes, Star Wars fans will almost certainly discuss it calmly, politely, and without any dramatic reactions.

Talking about Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian series, and the film Grogu, Kennedy compared Favreau's approach to innovation to the way George Lucas pushed technology forward in filmmaking. In the new GamesRadar+ reportKennedy praised Favreau for taking technology and filmmaking "to the next level," saying the spirit reminds her of what Lucas did.

This is not just a compliment. In the context of Star Wars, this essentially means handing someone the keys to a digital toolkit and saying, “Try not to break the cinematography.”
