The Ninth Jedi story continues in its own series, Skoova Steve gets his own figure, and the first guests of Star Wars Celebration 2027 have been revealed.

Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi is coming Next Month

Star Wars Visions is a project that lets animation studios create a Star Wars story with their unique visual and storytelling styles. So far, there are a total of three Volumes, with the first and third volumes created by multiple Japanese studios.

The Ninth Jedi is a story that appeared in the first Volume and then got a sequel in the third Volume. Earlier this year, it was announced that The Ninth Jedi would be one of two stories to get a standalone series. Said series is coming on August 5, and it promises to be something very entertaining.

The two-minute trailer reveals some new and returning characters, as well as the main plot of the series. Though I really think that it will have some interesting twists.

First look at Hasbro’s Halloween Edition figures

Despite it being July, Hasbro has already revealed some of the upcoming Black Series Halloween Edition figures. All three figures come with an accessory and a small companion. The Togruta comes with a Porg, the Tusken Raider is joined by a BD-1 droid, and the Mon Calamari is paired with who I believe is Skoova Stev, the fisherman NPC from Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.

Each of these figures will be available for purchase on September 2026, at $27.99 each from participating retailers.

The Art of Star Wars: Andor

This official book is arguably the best source to learn about everything that happened behind the scenes of the best Star Wars series ever made. Production art, visual development, concept art, creature designs and FX, graphics, props, interviews with many of the people involved and many more. Release date: June 30, 2026.

Rogue One: Saw Gerrera #1 (One-shot)

This issue shows why Saw Gerrera’s actions are too much for the Rebel Alliance. Key information is to gain a tactical advantage over the Empire. However, the price to pay for said information is too high, depending on who you ask. Release date: July 1, 2026.
