Show Notes
The Mandalorian and Grogu has officially hit a record (according to online publications) for the biggest Star Wars box office drop off in its second week. With about 70% of a dip, The Mandalorian and Grogu doesn't look like it will make it's money back, at least from the theatrical release. Merchandise and Disney Plus surely will cover the cost over time, however this doesn't seem to be a box office success, unnfortunately. I blame the previous direction that Kathleen Kennedy steered Star Wars and Lucasfilm in which led us to right here, apathy.
Let's see how they can fix this issue going forwards. I want Star Wars to always win, and in order to do that, we must have stories that are meaningful and make you want to go see these films. We need concrete planning, outlines and story development. Not just disjointed-ness after the brilliant Mandalorian Season 2 finale.

Kathleen Kennedy says she is partially relieved she stepped down from Lucasfilm and goes over her overall conclusion of running Star Wars after George Lucas handed it to her, with Disney.THEORY SABERS -
Is Star Wars Jedi 3 coming in 2027? A Star Wars leaker named FivesWalker posted on X that the third game in Cal Kestis' story is set for next year, and that marketing will start sooner than people expect, possibly even before The Game Awards on December 10th. EA and Respawn haven't commented, and no release window has been officially announced.
Dave Filoni says Ahsoka Season 2 will be weird in the sense we will get a split show with half being classic Star Wars feel and the other being about Mortis gods (maybe Abeloth?)
The fourth trilogy in Star Wars seems like it is happening, directed by Jon Watts and WRITTEN by Simon Kinberg. Kinberg co-created Star Wars Rebels and has been developing a new trilogy for Lucasfilm since 2024, and Watts brought us Skeleton Crew. In this video we go through what's actually been reported, where this trilogy fits after The Rise of Skywalker, and what this could mean for the future of Star Wars on the big screen.
