Daisy Ridley played Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and she's set to reprise the role in the upcoming film about the new Jedi order. We have still not heard anything about the project, but this does not stop the actress from talking about the franchise.
Ridley gave several interviews on the occasion of the release of a new project with her participation. In a conversation with Parade magazine, Ridley named her favorite film from the original trilogy. This is the“New Hope”with which the universe began:
Because these are the origins of everything. It's a wonderful setup...to the creation of all these wonderful characters and universe.
The two most important factions in Star Wars are the Jedi and the Sith. Opposite sides of the same coin, engaged in an eternal struggle. However, at the beginning of the prequels, this is not such a rivalry, since the Sith have not been seen for a long time.
The Jedi do not sit idly by, serving as peacekeepers throughout the galaxy. Of course, it would be a mistake to go on dangerous missions empty-handed, which is why all members of the Order use a lightsaber.
Because the Jedi do not want anyone to misunderstand them during missions, they use special colors for their blades. The Sith take the opposite approach as they seek to instill fear. At the same time, there are not many blade colors in the canon. Here are all the main ones. And who used them in the movies.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 PC players can now download the open beta of KYBER, a community-created unified launcher and online infrastructure with built-in mod support.
KYBER is a custom server platform and mod launcher that completely replaces the official Star Wars Battlefront 2 online infrastructure on PC and adds various features such as:
Dedicated 24/7 community-run servers that allow players to host ongoing gaming sessions with custom rulesets, map selection, and gameplay modifications.
Full support for community-created mods, allowing developers to create new game mechanics, cosmetic items, balance changes and content completely independent of official patches.
Key changes to modes, such as the evolution of Domination mode into a Battlefield-inspired Conquest mode where matches are played at a faster pace and have a clearer flow.
Fully functional server browser, which was missing in the official game.
Proximity-based voice chat, where players hear teammates and nearby enemies based on in-game distance, rather than just through team channels, facilitating seamless squad coordination without the need for external platforms like Discord.
Detailed stats tracking allowing players to view their career stats on both official online and KYBER servers.
Observer mode, using the game's built-in observer camera.Useful for spying on suspicious players, watching epic battles and much more.
It took a long time, but after four years of work, KYBER finally launched in open beta to expand the player base and help fix the last bugs before the full release.
The KYBER team also promised to release the source code, but asked for a little more time to make it "more worthy." Therefore, the current plan is to release the game next month (January 2026).
Ahsoka Season 2 will break a long-standing Star Wars rule that has never been broken in the franchise's 49-year history. The exit is taking longer than many had hoped.
The first season was released in 2023, and many believed that the second season would release sometime in 2026. However, oddly enough, the upcoming season was not included in Disney's 2026 plans, so nothing is certain.
Work on it took almost ten years. But soon, fans will finally be able to visit the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. From The Hollywood Reporter, opens in a new tab, we learned that the museum will open its doors to the public on September 22, 2026. Long in the making, this museum will feature works of art in all forms of narrative storytelling, from cave paintings to comic books, films and television. Many of the museum's exhibits will be drawn from George Lucas's extensive private collection, which he accumulated over decades.
In a statement, Lucas Museum co-founder (and George Lucas' wife) Melody Hobson said: “This is a folk art museum. The images are illustrations of beliefs that we live by every day. For this reason, this art belongs to everyone.” Lucas himself added: “Stories are mythology, and when they are illustrated they help people understand the mysteries of life.”
The recent announcement of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic did not go unnoticed by Jason Schreier. According to a well-known journalist and insider, development has only recently started, so the ambitious game will not be released until 2030. At best.
After several days, game director Casey Hudson advised to believe less in rumors from the Internet:
“Don’t worry, the game will be released before 2030, because I’m not getting any younger.”
Be that as it may, there are still few specifics about the project. It is known that gamers will enjoy a single-player role-playing action game with an original plot, created in accordance with all modern technologies.
Casey Hudson himself, in case anyone has forgotten, in the past became famous as the co-author of the Mass Effect trilogy and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Ryan Johnsontold that between the films Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi) andKnives Out: A Knives Out Mystery(Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery) have a “spiritual connection.”
“When I wrote the script for The Last Jedi, and Star Wars has always been something almost religious to me, this film touched on many of my experiences. In addition, shortly before I started working on the painting, my father died, and everything connected with this was constantly on my mind. I think in that sense there really is a connection between the two films.”
In the third part of Knives Out, Benoit Blanc investigates a murder in a church. The film focuses on the themes of faith and death.
Although there have been no major Star Wars games released recently, there are at least seven projects in development.
As part of The Game Awards 2025, we learned about two new titles. One of them will be released next year, but the second will have to wait. We list all known titles in the franchise.
