SDCC 2026: New Details Revealed About Immersive Museum Exhibition Star Wars: The Experience

Soon you will be able to peer into the impassive face of the unchanging mask of Darth Vader, get within a few centimeters of the charming fluffy head of Grogu and finally - finally! - find the droids you are looking for.

Next year, we'll embark on a journey celebrating the legacy of Star Wars, the power of The Force and fandom when the largest and most comprehensive traveling behind-the-scenes Star Wars exhibit opens in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and then embarks on a five-year tour of North America. But today we took our first steps into this big world, getting our first look at exhibition sketches, official key images and other new details during the official panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

Evil Yoda appears in new Star Wars promo

Following the official announcement of the Dark Side version of Master Yoda being added to the roster of characters in a galaxy far, far away, a first look at the character has been revealed.

Yoda is one of the most famous and beloved characters in Star Wars history. Since his appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, the hero has appeared in several films, TV series and games. However, historically he is on the light side of the Force. Now this changes the EA project.

TIE Fighter Strategy Guide: When Star Wars Video Games Manuals Were Like Sacred Texts

There was a time when a Star Wars game didn't start with a tutorial pop-up, a glowing objective marker, and a cheery reminder that using the space bar can get you where you want to go.

Sometimes it all started with instructions. Instant. The one that really needed to be read.

Star Wars: TIE Fighter was released in 1994 and was not intended for players who wanted to leisurely navigate the galaxy while the game quietly completed its tasks. It was a space combat simulator from LucasArts, and you were expected to learn how to fly, operate shields, switch targets, redirect energy, understand pre-mission briefings, and survive long enough to make the Empire proud.

Or at least a little less disappointed.

That's why TIE Fighter: The Official Strategy Guide is still seen as a wonderful artifact from the golden era of Star Wars video games. Published by Prima in July 1994 and written by Russell DeMaria, David Wessman, and David Maxwell, this guide existed because these games had their own flavor.

Yes, collectors can still find it today. If you want to have that good old Imperial guide on your shelf, TIE Fighter: The Official Strategy Guide can still be found on Amazon. Some collectors can also find the original CD-ROM edition of TIE Fighter here if you want the full experience without having to pay attention to the older ones.

Star Wars: Galactic Contention is relaunching this month in Unreal Engine 5

Star Wars: Galactic Contention returns this month, and the fan-made shooter based on The Clone Wars is looking much more ambitious than you might expect.

The popular full conversion of the game Squad is getting ready to relaunch with version 9.0 on July 31, 2026, which will bring the project to the Unreal Engine 5 with improved graphics, new changes, maps and other details to come. On the Steam Workshop page, the mod is currently listed as "COMING OUT JULY 31, 2026" and is described as a complete conversion of Squad set during the Clone Wars.

The new trailer also shows work on updating the mod in Unreal Engine 5: clone troopers, battle droids, vehicles, blaster fire and large-scale chaos on the battlefield look sharper than ever.

The approximate release date for the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has been revealed

It's hard to believe that it's been almost five years since we first and last saw footage of the remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

The project seemed to disappear without a trace, especially after it moved from Aspyr to Saber Interactive in 2022. Add to this a host of development issues, and many fans believed the game was cancelled. However, fears were dispelled in March 2025, when Saber Interactive creative director Tim Willits made a new message.

More than a year later, we received another update. According to Saber's new director of business development, Steve Ellison, the release of Knights of the Old Republic Remake is scheduled for 2028.

We're gearing up for a more active self-publishing business, and I'm here to organize a team to prepare a line of games that will be released in 2028. Among them are Space Marine, John Wick, hopefully a remake of KOTOR, and several projects that have not yet been announced.

Sideshow has a new Darth Revan figure, and its unmasked portrait is causing some heated discussion among fans.

Darth Revan is once again in the spotlight of collectors, which is always dangerous for wallets, shelves and those who still pretend that they are “done buying Star Wars stuff.”

Sideshow has unveiled new Darth Revan collectibles, including a Darth Revan statue and an oversized Premium Format figure. Both figures heavily echo the iconic image of the Sith Lord from Knights of the Old Republic: dark robes, armor, red and purple lightsabers, and a dramatic pose that seems to say, "Yes, I've made some morally difficult life choices."

But perhaps the most eye-catching detail is the one without the mask, included in the exclusive Premium Format version of the figure.

Because yes, the fans will already have their own thoughts.

Battlefront's Offline Combat update is the event that solo players have been asking for for so long

When Star Wars Battlefront came out in 2015, it looked incredible.

Hot looked so cold that you could crash into it. Endor seemed dense and dangerous. Blaster shots streaked across the screen with a unique Star Wars sound. DICE sure knew how to make the galaxy feel luxurious.

The problem was what happened when you wanted to play alone.

For a game called Battlefront, the lack of a full single-player campaign and deeper offline bot support was one of the main complaints. EA later admitted that eliminating the single-player campaign was a deliberate decision due to the simultaneous release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens , but also acknowledged that the game was criticized for lacking depth and variety.

That's why the announcement of 2016's Offline Skirmish mode was so significant.
