Star Wars adds new series and releases 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' film

Lucasfilm announced a new animated series that will feature fresh portrayals of Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, expanding the franchise’s post‑Clone Wars storytelling. The series, revealed at Star Wars Celebration Japan, introduces characters such as Devon Izara and focuses on the criminal underworld after Order 66.

The theatrical movie "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu," released on May 22, continues the story of the Mandalorian and his companion Grogu in a CGI‑intensive adventure. Critics note the film offers strong visual design but lacks significant character development or impact on the broader Star Wars narrative.
