The canceled “Acolyte” unexpectedly entered the top 10 Disney+ - fans want season 2

The Acolyte was met with controversy even before it premiered on Disney+ in 2024. The series was subject to review bombing, and the actors faced online bullying and trolling.

The project experimented with Star Wars lore, which is always a risk for a beloved franchise. The idea was to show how the Force can lead to a virgin birth - something that echoes the emergence of Anakin Skywalker. The story also tried to fill in some important gaps in the universe. The last point included the debut of Darth Plagueis in a live-action film.

Against the backdrop of such a stormy reaction, the news of the cancellation of Acolyte did not come as a big surprise. Unfortunately, there are several unfinished storylines left.

The author of “Attack on Titan” drew a poster for “The Mandalorian and Grogu”

Hajime Isayama may have completed the legendary manga “Attack on Titan,” but the mangaka continues to create. The artist worked on a new poster for the next Star Wars.

The Mandalorian and Grogu movie poster doesn't show the bounty hunter fighting a Titan, but it does show that Isayama is still in great shape. Along with the poster, the author talked about his history with Star Wars, confirming that he saw the original trilogy while visiting his host family in the US.

Fortnite is turning into a Star Wars gaming platform

Fortnite isn't just bringing back a Star Wars skin. This will be a cool version of our history of a galaxy far, far away. Boring version. The “yes, Darth Vader is back in the item shop, please act surprised” version.

The big news is that Epic and Lucasfilm are turning Fortnite into a platform where new Star Wars games can exist - and the latest official Fortnite update makes that clear. A new post from Epic titled "A Galaxy of New Star Wars Games Coming to Fortnite describes a wave of projects in the universe "Star Wars" created inside Fortnite and sold through UEFN and Creative.

This is not one crossover mode.

Star Wars is becoming a toolkit for creating games.

Disney and Lucasfilm management announced a meeting dedicated to the future of films and TV series in the Star Wars universe.

For the first time, apparently, after large-scale changes in management both Disney and Lucasfilm, the new heads of the parent company and its subsidiary reported a meeting on the future of the Star Wars franchise in cinema.

Fans argue over Star Wars Jedi 3's open world

The Star Wars Jedi games are arguably some of the best original entries in the franchise in years. The story of Cal Kestis continues to captivate longtime fans and newcomers alike.

If you haven't played it yet, Jedi: Survivor is not a full open world game, but rather a semi-open or linear adventure. The emphasis is on storytelling rather than location exploration. While this works well, there is ongoing debate about whether the next installment should be a true open world.

Star Wars: Battle for Naboo (2000): The game that seamlessly bridged two eras

Some Star Wars games hit the market with huge hype. Great legacy. Great nostalgia. Big controversy.

And then there are games like Star Wars: Battle for Naboo, which basically showed up, did a lot of things well, and yet somehow ended up overshadowed by the more high-profile projects around them.

It's a little unfair because there's a lot more to this game than people usually remember.
