Since Disney’s acquisition of the Star Wars brand, the new properties have been flying out of the woodwork. It began with the release of the sequel trilogy, but the universe has been reset and expanded in far more ways than that. In order to understand the full scope of what’s been done with the franchise, you have to look to different corners of the multimedia spectrum.
Of course, while movies and TV shows might be the most alluring of the bunch, those are far from all that’s on offer. Expanding your vision outwards to what else is being done with the famous sci-fi name could quickly lead you to some new favorites or even enlighten you on the enjoyment of an entire medium.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2
If you love to dabble in gaming, perhaps on your smartphone through whatever is available on the app store or by playing online casino games on your computer, you will love the fact that Star Wars has a long and rich history in the video game sphere. Famous titles such as Knights of the Old Republic are still lauded as not just being one of the best Star Wars games available, but perhaps one of the greatest role-playing games in general.
With all that in mind, it might be worth turning your attention to Jedi: Fallen Order and its upcoming sequel. These games fill in the blanks between the prequel and original trilogies and highlight new characters and lore that could change the way you look at the Star Wars universe. If you love gaming, you have to try this out.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
In the realms of things that you might be more aware of, the upcoming limited series focusing on fan-favorite character Obi-Wan is something that many people have been excited for. The recent release of a trailer means that those who were eagerly awaiting news on this project now have something more tangible to latch onto, and the return of Ewan Mcgregor in the role is shaping up to be everything that the fans wanted it to be.
While this is a title that many people were hoping would take the form of a movie back when it was first being discussed, the limited series format gives it room to breathe and develop without losing that cinematic feel – thanks to the budget involved.
The High Republic Books
While the lore of Star Wars since the Disney acquisition has primarily been focused on the time surrounding the original trilogy of films, that timeline has recently diverged to take place at a somewhat earlier point in the High Republic storyline. These novels detail the trials and tribulations of the Republic before the events of the prequel trilogy and serve as a fresh story – separated from the increasingly complex narrative of the main saga.
With a new title expected in this series around October, this gives you plenty of time to catch up on the trilogy of books that have currently been released – putting you in a prime position to engage further with this new and exciting storyline.
