Celebrating 12 Years of Disney and Lucasfilm
October 30th marks a milestoneâthe 12th anniversary of Disneyâs acquisition of Lucasfilm. Since 2012, Disney has revolutionized the Star Wars universe, from launching the sequel trilogy to opening Galaxyâs Edge theme park.

Weâll chat about how Disney has reshaped Star Wars storytelling and what this means for fans looking forward to the next 12 years.
Whatâs Happening with the Rey Movie?
The New Jedi Order film featuring Daisy Ridleyâs Rey is stirring up excitementâand questions. With Steven Knight recently departing as screenwriter, Lucasfilm is searching for fresh talent to write the next chapter in Reyâs journey as she rebuilds the Jedi Order 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker. Could this be the start of a new series? Ridley hinted at the possibility, referring to the project as ânew one/new ones,â leaving fans speculating about a multi-film arc. Weâll break down the details and discuss what this film means for the future of the Jedi.
Mando & Grogu Head to the Big Screen!
Itâs official! The The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, directed by Jon Favreau, has wrapped filming and is scheduled to hit theaters on May 22, 2026. Fans will see Pedro Pascal return as Din Djarin alongside his beloved Force-sensitive companion, Grogu, as they embark on a fresh adventure in a post-Mandalorian world. With appearances from fan-favorites like Bo-Katan Kryze, Ahsoka Tano, and the addition of Sigourney Weaver, this is shaping up to be a Star Wars cinematic event. Weâll give you all the details, including how cutting-edge technology helped preserve the projectâs secrets, keeping fans guessing.
Behind the Scenes with Skeleton Crew
Empire Magazine recently sat down with Skeleton Crewâs creative teamâJon Watts, Bryce Dallas Howard, David Lowery, and moreâto reveal exciting new details about the series.

In this captivating episode of Around the Galaxy, we welcome back the incredibly talented Greg Grunberg, known to Star Wars fans as Snap Wexley. But Greg is much more than just an X-wing pilot; he's a storyteller, a passionate advocate, and an all-around fantastic guy with stories that extend far beyond the galaxy far, far away.
"Snap" Wexley: Back from the Dead?The episode kicks off with an engaging discussion about Snap Wexley's fate in The Rise of Skywalker. The conversation immediately dives into one of the most burning questions among Star Wars fans: Is Snap Wexley really dead? Greg, with his usual wit and charm, keeps us all on the edge of our seats. He playfully teases the possibility of his characterâs return, highlighting the golden rule of Star Wars: "No one's ever really gone."Gregâs connection to the Star Wars universe is deeply personal. His long-time friendship with director JJ Abrams, which began when they were just five years old, has played a significant role in his Star Wars journey. Greg shares a hilarious anecdote about how JJ casually mentioned that Gregâs character would die in The Rise of Skywalker. This news sparked a friendly argument between the two, with Greg pushing back against the idea. Their banter, both light-hearted and sincere, offers a glimpse into their decades-long friendship and the deep trust that underpins their collaborations.
Beyond Star Wars: New Projects and Old FriendsWhile Star Wars is a major highlight, Greg also discusses his new project, Duster, an upcoming show for Max. He hints at some exciting developments in the series but keeps us guessing about his characterâs fate. His excitement is palpable as he talks about the creative process and the joy of bringing new stories to life. Gregâs enthusiasm for his work is infectious, reminding us why heâs such a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.The conversation then shifts to Gregâs thoughts on the Star Wars community, particularly the fan base's passion and dedication.

The Heart of the Matter: Charity, Community, and Giving BackThis episode is more than just a conversation about Star Wars and entertainment. Itâs a celebration of community and the power of giving back. Greg is deeply involved in charitable work, particularly with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. His band, The Action Figures, recently performed at the Make-A-Wish Foundation Gala in LA, an event that Greg describes with immense pride and joy. He praises the organization for its incredible work and shares how honored he feels to be part of their efforts.Make-A-Wish is close to Gregâs heart, and heâs passionate about raising awareness and support for their mission. He emphasizes the importance of every donation, no matter how small, in making a difference in the lives of children with life-changing illnesses. Gregâs words are a powerful reminder that our collective efforts can have a profound impact. If youâre inspired by Gregâs message, you can still donate to Podathon and support Make-A-Wish by visiting ThePodathon.com.
Talk About It: Epilepsy Awareness and the Caregiver SeriesGregâs advocacy doesnât stop with Make-A-Wish. He also talks about his personal connection to epilepsy awareness through his podcast, Talk About It. This project was born out of his experience with his son Jake, who has epilepsy. Greg shares the challenges and triumphs of navigating life with a loved one who has a chronic condition. He speaks candidly about the isolation that families can feel and how important it is to raise awareness and remove the stigma surrounding epilepsy.Through Talk About It, Greg provides a platform for celebrities, healthcare professionals, and everyday people to share their stories and offer support to those affected by epilepsy. The podcast also serves as an educational resource, offering practical advice on what to do if someone has a seizure. Gregâs dedication to this cause is evident as he discusses the impact that awareness can have in saving lives and providing comfort to those who feel alone.Gregâs latest project, The Caregiver Series, is another testament to his commitment to helping others. In this series, he travels the country, offering a day of care to caregivers who often neglect their own needs while caring for others. Supported by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, this series shines a spotlight on the unsung heroes who provide care and support to those with chronic conditions. Gregâs compassion and empathy are at the forefront of this project, making it clear that his work is about much more than just raising awarenessâitâs about making a real difference in peopleâs lives.
