Star Wars’ major releases across canon will be numerous in the next half-decade, from TV shows and films to books, novels, and video games.
Some Of Star Wars' Best Stories Happen Off-Screen
In truth,many of the bestStar Warsstories—canon and Legends—happen not in the movies and TV shows but in the franchise’s other genres. Most recently,Star Wars’newly released video game,Star Wars Outlaws, has introduced a number of incredible updates to the franchise, including revealingwhen the Purge of Mandalore took placeandwhere Ahsoka was in the original trilogy. Indeed, despite being revealed only in theStar Warsgame, both of these updates had major implications forStar Warsmore broadly.
Many of the most belovedStar WarsLegends stories have also happened only in the franchise’s books, including the introduction of now beloved charactersMara JadeandGrand Admiral Thrawn. In fact, Thrawn is an excellent example of how these off-screen stories can come to life on the big and small screens, as Thrawn has now appeared in multiple canonStar WarsTV shows and is primed to be the main villain in the upcomingThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie. Moreover, while Mara Jade hasn’t entered canon (and isn’t likely to), she remains a fan-favorite character in the franchise.
Everything We Know About The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie
The Mandalorian’s story will continue with a Star Wars movie. Here’s everything we know about the project, including cast, release, and timeline.
In truth,Star WarsLegends has introduced a number of characters and stories that stand out as among the franchise’s best, even if, like Mara Jade, they are unlikely to ever become canonized. Among these are the Legends stories of Luke Skywalker and Darth Plagueis. Although both are canon characters, their Legends stories are thrilling and can’t be found inStar Warsmovies or TV shows. In Luke Skywalker’s case, his Legends story involves him becoming Grand Master of the new Jedi Order. For Plagueis, Legends reveals so much more about his history thanStar Warscanon has.
These examples, in addition to Inferno Squad inBattlefront II, reveal that there is so much more toStar Warsthan just what is featured in the canon movies and TV shows. Rather,Star Warscomics, video games, and books (canon and otherwise) all offer thrilling plotlines that deserve as much recognition as the well-known movies and shows. This incredibleStar Warscosplay fromStar Wars: Battlefront IIserves as a perfect reminder of that.
