2026 has been a year marked by ups and downs for Star Wars fans, but it’s still an exciting franchise to be a part of, as it has been for so many years. Star Wars officially returned to Disney Plus this year with the premiere of Maul — Shadow Lord, the animated series starring Sam Witwer that has already been renewed for Season 2. Star Wars then made its return to the big screen for the first time in seven years with The Mandalorian and Grogu, but the film finished its run as the lowest-grossing Star Wars movie in franchise history. After being added to Disney Plus’ streaming library early last month, The Mandalorian and Grogu has quietly become one of the biggest streaming hits of the year — it’s still charting in the top 10 in a handful of countries.
For any franchise as big as Star Wars, though, it’s only natural that its many fans are always looking over the double-sun horizon about what’s to come next. Announced this afternoon during the Star Wars Publishing Panel at New York Comic-Con is a new book centered around Princess Leia, who was originally portrayed by the late, great Carrie Fisher. Titled Princess of the Rebellion, little is known about the project at this time, but it’s being written by Claudia Grey with art from Zoë van Dijk. The book will follow Princess Leia along with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo as they head out on an epic adventure after the events of A New Hope and it will be released on May 4, 2027. More details are expected to be announced soon along with an official release date.

Docking Clamps Released Your Crew Is…
Four ships, four completely different reasons to be up there at all. Here is the one that has your seat, what flying with them would cost you, and what it would give back.
Millennium Falcon
You belong on the fastest piece of junk in the galaxy, with a crew that took the job for the payday and then quietly stopped caring about the payday. Nothing on the Falcon has ever gone according to plan, and everybody aboard prefers it that way.
- You improvise better than you prepare, which is why you keep ending up in situations that a careful person would have avoided.
- The Falcon is the only ship on this list that is genuinely funny, and half of that comes from it breaking at the worst possible moment.
- You would pretend the whole thing is transactional right up until somebody you like is in trouble, and then the pretending stops instantly.
- This crew is the reason the rebellion had a chance at all, and not one of them would ever admit to that out loud.
The Ghost
You belong with the crew that turned a tiny cell of misfits into an actual rebellion. The Ghost is a home before it is a ship, and everybody who boards it arrived with something broken that the rest of them decided to look after.
- Found family is the whole engine here, and Rebels earns it by making you watch these people choose each other over and over again.
- You are in it for the cause, but what actually keeps you going is the four people who would notice immediately if you stopped showing up.
- Hera is one of the best captains in the franchise, and the show is smart enough to make her competence the quiet centre of everything.
- This crew pays for its wins, which is exactly what makes the wins land the way they do.
The Skeleton Crew
You belong with the four kids who found a buried ship, launched it by accident and are now extremely lost in a galaxy that eats people like them. Nobody here knows what they are doing, and that turns out to be the fun of it.
- Your instinct is to open the door that says do not open, and you would do it again tomorrow.
- Skeleton Crew is the closest Star Wars has come to an eighties adventure movie, where the stakes are real but the wonder never gets sanded off.
- You make friends out of whoever is standing next to you when things go wrong, which is a genuinely useful survival skill.
- The pirates in this one are properly frightening, and that is precisely why the kids being out of their depth works so well.
The Razor Crest
You belong in the quietest ship in the galaxy, with one small passenger and a code you have never explained to anybody. You told yourself this was a job, and then it stopped being a job somewhere around the second week.
- You work alone by preference and by habit, which lasts exactly as long as it takes for somebody small to need looking after.
- The Mandalorian works because almost nothing gets said out loud, and the armour does the acting that a face usually would.
- Your loyalty is narrow and absolute, so there are very few people on your list and nothing will move you off it.
- The Mandalorian and Grogu took all of that to the big screen over Memorial Day 2026, the first Star Wars film in seven years.

What Do We Know About the Next Star Wars Movie?
The next Star Wars movie, Starfighter, is coming to theaters on May 28, 2027, almost exactly one year after The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Plot details about Starfighter are being kept under wraps for now, but the film is confirmed to be an original story following new characters.
