So excited for this! Sigourney Weaver in Star Wars is everything I didn't know I needed. Her character looks so mysterious in the teaser. May 2026 can't come soon enough! 🤩

Not sure how I feel about Jeremy Allen White playing Jabba's son. He's a great actor but seems like an odd casting choice. Hope he proves me wrong though!

The return of AT-ATs in the snow gives me serious Hoth vibes. Love that they're bringing back classic elements while expanding the universe. And BABU FRIK! My favorite little guy!

While I'm excited for this, I hope they don't overstuff it with too many cameos and references. The Mandalorian worked best when it kept things simple and character-focused.

Zeb from Rebels making the jump to live action is HUGE! Filoni really is connecting all the dots. This is the way. 👊

Two Star Wars movies announced back to back? 2026-2027 is going to be amazing for us fans! Though I hope they take their time and don't rush the production.
