All the details from Lucasfilm Publishing's Star Wars panel at SDCC

Some of the greatest Star Wars stories of all time have come in the form of novels and comics, so any announcements or announcements about upcoming literary projects are of great interest to fans of a galaxy far, far away.

Lucasfilm Publishing hosted a panel discussion today at Comic-Con 2026 in San Diego, where creators shared behind-the-scenes details, stories from across time and space, and a number of exciting announcements hinting at the exciting future of Star Wars books and comics.

Read on for all the announcements and presentations from Lucasfilm Publishing's Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away panel at SDCC.

New Star Wars book radically changes the rules of the Force

In 1999, George Lucas rewrote the rules of the Force forever by introducing the concept of midi-chlorians in the film The Phantom Menace. Since then, other filmmakers have taken liberties with the rules of the Force, be it Leia using the Force to fly through space in The Last Jedi, or Sabine showing that people without prior Force sensitivity can use and manipulate it through her openness and patience in Ahsoka.

But now a new Star Wars book is unexpectedly reimagining the Force, breaking new ground for the nearly 50-year-old franchise.

Star Wars Visions: Tsukumo is a new manga written and illustrated by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi and published by Viz Media. Set after the events of Order 66, the story follows a surviving Jedi Knight named Nagi Tsukumo, who, after being poisoned and on the run, tries to help two rogue droids find the coordinates of the legendary Droid Paradise.

Review of Star Wars: Legacy

The legendary Skywalker lightsaber, once wielded by Luke and Anakin Skywalker, was shattered in The Last Jedi, but miraculously found reassembled in The Rise of Skywalker. This moment of inconsistency was just one of many thematic and narrative inconsistencies between Episodes VIII and IX that left the two final chapters of the Skywalker saga feeling disjointed.

Star Wars Legacy is a new novel by Madeleine Roux that fills the gap between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker by following Rey and Leia's quest to repair Skywalker's lightsaber, and in turn provides an important link between Episodes VIII and IX that did not previously exist.

Star Wars: Zero Company voice cast includes 15 actors

The official Star Wars website has revealed the full voice cast for the upcoming game Star Wars: Zero Company on the eve of San Diego Comic-Con, where a number of performers will travel to promote the title.

Among the guest actors are many franchise veterans. Dee Bradley Baker, known for Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the short cartoon Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, will voice a character named Trick in the game. Alongside him on the list were Erica Luttrell, Matt Lanter and D.S. Douglas - all three have previously worked with materials from the universe.

Matt Lanter will return to the role of Anakin Skywalker, which he played in the animated series “The Clone Wars”. This adds a meaningful connection to the Star Wars expanded universe to the game, rather than just being limited to new characters.

In addition to franchise veterans, other recognizable names have appeared in the cast. Jim Pirri, who provided the voice of Kraven in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5, will play the role of Neesh Renark. Vic Michaelis, well known to Smosh and Dropout audiences, will play Runa Blask.

Canceled animated series Star Wars: Detours will be shown to the public for the first time after 14 years

The animated comedy Star Wars: Detours, which George Lucas and Robot Chicken creator Seth Green conceived as “The Simpsons” in the Star Wars universe, will still be shown to audiences after almost 14 years.

The project was fully ready by 2013 - then the authors completed 39 episodes and prepared scripts for another 62. However, after the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney, the animated series did not fit into the new vision of the franchise and was sent “to the shelf.”

After 13 years, Green announced that Detours would still be released to people. True, with a nuance: not on streaming or on air, but in the cinema of the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which will open in Los Angeles on September 22.

Star Wars: Detours is set to take place between Episodes Three and Four and will feature many well-known characters.

Star Wars Zero Company Collector's Edition unveiled at SDCC panel

Yesterday at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Star Wars Zero Company cast and developers, including Reactor's Aaron Contreras and Kelsey Sharp Lucasfilm, as well as voice actors Dee Bradley Baker, Jonathan Freeman, Rekha Sharma and Vic Michaelis, participated in a panel dedicated to the event.

Star Wars: Zero Company will take 30 to 40 hours

Bit Reactor studio continues to share details about its tactical project in the Star Wars universe. A month before the release, scheduled for August 27, the developers held a large-scale session stream, during which they answered the most frequently asked questions from the community. The information collected sheds light on the structure of the game, the mechanics of the squad and the degree of freedom of the player.

According to the authors, completing the main storyline will take on average 30 to 40 hours. At the same time, the developers emphasize that the story will be strictly linear - the game will offer only one final outcome without branching endings.
