According to Maul voice actor Sam Witwer, the series is set one year after the Clone Wars.
DICE moved to Battlefield and fans began supporting the game themselves.
In 2026, there is still interest in Star Wars Battlefront II. The game is now receiving updates from fans.
Recently, the creators of the KYBER: Battlefront II Custom Servers project announced the release of the first content update on PC this year.
With the January updatefor Star Wars Battlefront II, they introduced a redesigned version of Ahsoka, made the ping system available to all characters, and introduced various improvements and balance changes.
Before leaving Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy spoke about future projects in the Star Wars universe and shared thoughts about the studio's past mistakes in her final interview with Deadline.
Gathered the main thing:
When the company acquired Lucasfilm, they decided to take Star Wars in a new direction. Part of this process included the exclusion of several projects from the canon.
Since this first wave of eliminations, non-canonical projects have largely ceased to be produced (the most notable exception being the animated anthology Visions). In fact, Disney and Lucasfilm have focused more on bringing back now non-canonical stories into the current lore, such as Grand Admiral Thrawn and Mara Jade.
But now the first exception to the canon in many years has been confirmed. It concerns a project created directly under the leadership of Disney.
The company announced on StarWars.com that the Galaxy's Edge theme park at Disneyland will no longer be considered canon. The reason was plans for significant changes in his strategy. Starting April 29, Galaxy's Edge will feature elements from the original Star Wars trilogy.
Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy has resigned, making way for Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan. They will share responsibilities, focusing on the creative and commercial sides respectively.
Star Wars is in a bit of a strange position. The franchise has many directions it could have gone in, but many projects never made it to production. Many decisions depend on Disney and Bob Iger, who is more cautious about risks than any of the heads of the subsidiary studios.
The Hollywood Reporter talks about the current status of Star Wars and where it might be headed further. First of all, films that will be released in the next couple of years were mentioned.
The first of them is “The Mandalorian and Grogu” from director Jon Favreau. Filoni co-authored the story. The premiere will take place on May 21 this year, and the future of the franchise on the big screen depends on the project.
The film was greenlit to replace the fourth season of The Mandalorian during the 2023 strikes. But after the first trailer, it made fans wonder why Lucasfilm didn’t just wait to create the fourth season.
Shawn Levy's Star Wars: Starfighter project is scheduled for release next. This is the final film in the series produced by Kennedy as president of Lucasfilm. Little is known about the blockbuster, which will be released in May 2027, other than that it takes place five years after The Rise of Skywalker. Sunrise."
More than ten years after the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the plot was reworked.
To celebrate the film's 10th anniversary, a comic book entitled "Star Wars: Han Solo - The Hunt for the Falcon" was released from Marvel Comics. The five-issue mini-line follows Harrison Ford's traveler-adventurer several years before what happens in episode seven. He was looking for his ship, the Millennium Falcon, in space.
The fifth issue brought a new twist to the Star Wars chronology, which raised a lot of questions among fans.
The comic was expected to end with Han returning to the YT-1300 light freighter, but this did not happen. History has rewritten the events that led to The Force Awakens.
The Mandalorian & Grogu is the next big release in the Star Wars franchise, bringing a galaxy far, far away back to theaters. It is clear that the stakes are higher than ever.
Before the sessions of Avatar: Fire and Ash, a new trailer is shown, which is unlikely to appear online, since it is only an extended version of the first video. But we got a fresh shot.
The new image shows the main characters: The Mandalorian and Grogu. They are on a ship. Apparently, this scene is in the trailer.
This week, Kathleen Kennedy officially steps down as president of Lucasfilm. Dave Filoni will oversee the creative direction of Lucasfilm as President and Chief Creative Officer. Lynwen Brennan will handle the business side of things as co-president of Lucasfilm.
