"Star Wars fans are about to take their next step into an even larger world. Just when it seemed that the power of the Force couldn’t get any stronger, the franchise is set to grow even more. Aug. 23 will see the debut of the long-anticipated series Ahsoka, while the Goonies-inspired Jude Law series, Skeleton Crew, is rumored to be arriving on Disney+ in November or December. By the end of 2024, the 100-years-in-the-past, Phantom Menace prequel series, The Acolyte, will pull back the veil on the Sith, and The Bad Batch will air its third and final season. But there’s even more to be excited about on the horizon. It’s been four years since fans saw a Star Wars film on the big screen, but there are three new movies on the slate, including one that brings back Daisy Ridley’s Rey, and a crossover event featuring characters from all the series of the Mandalorian timeline. Never before has the faraway galaxy been expanding in so many directions at once, and never before has the Force promised such a diversity of characters, stories and voices. Here’s a guide to everything new and upcoming in the Star Wars universe, including a closer look at Ahsoka, with the nitty-gritty details of cast members, characters and canon. Plus, we’ve got behind-the-scenes photos from the new season of Andor, and a sneak peek from the set of The Acolyte. Grab your lightsaber and strap in. This is where the fun begins."
