Star Wars Celebration 2025 was a monumental event, packed with thrilling announcements from the beloved galaxy far, far away. Among the highlights were the unveiling of "Star Wars: Starfighter" starring Ryan Gosling, a new series centered on Darth Maul titled "Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord," and a first look at Rory McCann stepping into the role of Baylan Skoll. Fans were also excited to learn about the interactive experience of caring for Grogu on the "Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run" attraction. The event was a treasure trove of new content and experiences, and we're excited to share the top announcements you won't want to miss. Let us know in the comments which one excites you the most!
The Ahsoka panel at Star Wars Celebration was brimming with major reveals and engaging behind-the-scenes stories for the show's second season, including the first look at Rory McCann as Baylan Skoll. Following the tragic passing of Ray Stevenson, McCann has taken on the role, and the panel showcased an exclusive first-look image. Additionally, it was confirmed that Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2.
The panel also teased what fans can expect in the upcoming season, including the return of fan-favorite characters like Sabine, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper. It was revealed that Admiral Ackbar will play a significant role, facing off against Grand Admiral Thrawn. The season will feature adorable Loth-Kittens and, according to Dave Filoni, "X-Wings, A-Wings, and Wings I can't tell you about."
After the announcement of his return for Ahsoka Season 2, we had the privilege of speaking with Hayden Christensen about reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker after nearly two decades. He shared his thoughts on the darker themes in Star Wars and even revealed his favorite Anakin meme.
In a conversation with Rosario Dawson, Dave Filoni, and Jon Favreau about Ahsoka, they shared an amusing story about Dawson's surprise when Mark Hamill returned as Luke Skywalker. She, like many others, thought Plo Koon would be the mysterious Jedi to save the day in the Season 2 finale of The Book of Boba Fett, as Filoni and Favreau used him as a decoy in the scripts.
"The Mandalorian & Grogu" is set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026, marking the first Star Wars film on the big screen since "The Rise of Skywalker" in 2019. The panel kicked off Star Wars Celebration and included teases for the film, along with the unexpected reveal of "Star Wars: Starfighter," directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, set for release on May 28, 2027.
The footage shown to the audience featured an Imperial ship ready for battle, Mando engaging Flame Troopers, collapsing AT-AT walkers in the snow, and the first look at Sigourney Weaver's character. Grogu, as always, was the highlight with his adorable and mischievous antics, including swimming and making objects levitate.
At Star Wars Celebration, we spoke with Sigourney Weaver about her role in "The Mandalorian & Grogu." She revealed she hadn't watched an episode of The Mandalorian before being cast and shared how Grogu captured her heart. Weaver also playfully speculated on whether Grogu is more powerful than a Xenomorph.
"Star Wars: Starfighter" was announced at Star Wars Celebration, confirming Ryan Gosling's starring role in this new film set five years after "The Rise of Skywalker." While details are scarce, it's known that Gosling will portray a new character. The film joins a lineup that includes "The Mandalorian & Grogu," movies from Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, James Mangold, and Taika Waititi, and a trilogy from Simon Kinberg.

In this new adventure, Hondo Ohnaka discovers a deal on Tatooine between ex-Imperial officers and pirates, leading to a high-stakes chase across the galaxy. Guests will join Mando and Grogu to track them down and claim a bounty.
Engineers will have the unique opportunity to care for Grogu during the ride and choose the adventure's path by plotting a course to Bespin, the Death Star wreckage above Endor, or the newly-revealed Coruscant during a special moment.
The second and final season of "Andor" is set to premiere on April 22 on Disney+. The series made its last appearance at Star Wars Celebration before the highly anticipated episodes debut.
