Star Wars fans have two movies on the horizon to look forward to. Up first, The Mandalorian and Grogu will arrive in theaters May of 2026. Next, Starfighter is scheduled for May of 2027. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss an update on Matt Smith’s shooting schedule for Starfighter. Also, Boba Fett’s blaster from The Empire Strikes Back is up for auction. This sparks a conversation about the potential for a museum for these props, and which blaster from Star Wars we would like to have.

Whilst speaking with Empire Magazine, Sigourney Weaver addressed the real reason why she made the choice to join The Mandalorian and Grogu, explaining that “it’s always the script” that determines the projects she ends up joining.

Yeah, that’s my compass; it’s always the script. So [with] The Mandalorian And Grogu, it was not my intention to find a fourth franchise, I didn’t ever imagine that I would enter the Star Wars world. But what’s interesting about Star Wars now is they’re no longer trying to do the Star Wars to end all Star Wars. They’re letting the universe exist, and tell[ing] really interesting stories within that. I think Jon Favreau thought, “Okay, we want this very strong character. Let’s make it a woman.” I’m not sure it was supposed to be a woman. I think again, these days, they often think, “What do I need to do to make this seem more timely?”, and now, because women are doing everything, hooray for us. [But] I just fell in love with the script and said, “I don’t know anything about this world.” Jon said, “Well, you can watch the series,” and I said, “Oh, there’s a series?!”

The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives in cinemas on May 22nd, 2026.

The scheduled releases for this week will be;

Tuesday 11th November 2025
	Master of Evil by Adam Christopher (Random House Worlds – ISBN 978-0-593-87473-8) After Revenge of the Sith, a newly forged Darth Vader hunts for the secrets of life and death under the watchful eye of Emperor Palpatine. In the wake of Emperor Palpatine’s rise to power, the true nature of his most sinister enforcer remains a mystery. Darth Vader is a dominant yet illusive figure: the shadow cast by a malignant Imperial regime, unknowable to even its top officials. But even as his humanity gives way to myth, Vader remains haunted by the promises of the dark side, seeking the ultimate power that his master has hinted at but withheld—the power to conquer death itself. On the volcanic world of Mustafar, Vader undertakes a dark ritual, bleeding a kyber crystal to forge his lightsaber. This act unleashes a power far greater than he anticipated, giving him a glimpse into the limitless potential of the Force. Vader is determined to follow this vision, even if it means defying his master’s orders. Yet he finds the Emperor suspiciously supportive of his mission, even sending Vader to the Diso system to investigate rumors of a Force-wielding shaman able to raise the dead. At his side are a cadre of the Emperor’s scarlet-robed Royal Guard, led by Colonel Halland Goth—a decorated soldier with a very personal interest in Vader’s mission. Even as the Emperor’s true motivations reveal themselves, Vader falls deeper into obsession. His journey takes him far across the galaxy, chasing rumors and phantoms. But no matter how far he travels, he cannot escape the shadows within his own soul. Haunted by the echoes of his past, Vader circles the true resolution to his quest: only once all weakness is purged can he become a master of evil.
