Andor Season 2 Special Look
Season 2 of Andor is probably the most anticipated Star Wars media project of 2025. Even if we’ve only seen a short trailer, the hype is through the roof. Just a few days after the trailer came out, Lucasfilm released a Special Look that gives a good insight of the second season.
It shows returning characters like Cinta, Vel, and Brasso but the most important thing is the teaser of the Ghorman massacre. This ruthless act is very important for Mon Mothma’s character, as it puts her on the path that eventually leads to the destruction of the first Death Star.
Panels Revealed for Star Wars Celebration 2025
Star Wars Celebration Japan starts next month. Lots of announcements will take place at this important event, some of them people are expected and there are probably a few of which we have no idea.
These announcements are made at different panels and sadly, not all of them are free to enter. For this year, we will have four big panels that require a ticket in addition to the one attendees already bought to enter the event. There’s a good chance that these panels will have some of the biggest reveals so most people will want to get in.
- Friday | The Mandalorian and Grogu
- Saturday | Andor: A Star Wars Story
- Saturday | Ahsoka
- Sunday | First Look: Star Wars: Visions Volume 3
The Ahsoka and Andor panels are both scheduled on Saturday, and you can only register for one panel per day, fans will have to decide which one to attend. Reservations for all four panels open on March 25th at 4 pm PDT | March 26th at 8 am JST.
Mara Jade Lightsaber is coming to Disney Store
Since the opening of Galaxy’s Edge, Disney has released lightsabers of iconic characters like Luke Skywalker, Darth Maul, Mace Windu, and even some of less-popular ones like the Jedi Temple Guard, Gungi, or Stellan Gios.
Mara Jade is now joining the roster of lightsaber-wielders who have their lightsabers available for sale. This one is extremely surprising because she isn’t even part of the Disney canon, but that even makes it more exciting.
This sets a huge precedent for other non-canon characters. Personally, I’d love to have Starkiller’s saber or something from the Old Republic era.
Though, there’s a small catch with Mara Jade’s saber. The Emperor’s Hand Legacy Lightsaber is limited to 3,500 pieces and it will be available at DisneyStore.com starting on March 8th at 8 AM PT | 11 AM ET.
In case you are lucky enough to get it, the saber will come in a special wooden box, a numbered certificate, and a variant comic of The Emperor’s Hand #1. It is priced at $325.
In case you are curious about it, Mara Jade was one of Palpatine’s assassins. After Palpatine’s death, she ended up working with Luke Skywalker, and the two eventually got married.
As stated before, this is not part of the current canon so the character doesn’t “exist”. Nonetheless, it’s still very cool that this era of Star Wars is being considered for new collectibles.
Hasbro Star Wars Preorders available
Last week, we talked about the new toys unveiled at the Hasbro Pulse fan stream. Characters from The Mandalorian, A New Hope, and Revenge of the Sith were announced in either Vintage Collection or Black Series.
If you wish to order, some of them are live for pre-order at Hasbro Pulse.
LEGO U-Wing coming in 2025
We’re still very early in the year, which means that most of the LEGO Star Wars sets coming later this year are still unknown. However, Amazon UK leaked a U-Wing set and the image has been circulating on LEGO fan sites and social media.
This set is smaller compared to the 2018 version and will be priced at $70. As you would expect, it is coming out right on time to match the release of Season 2 of Andor. It comes with four Minifigures including Cassian Andor, K-2SO, Dedra Meero, and an Imperial Officer.
The U-Wing will be available on May 1st, 2025.
