Star Wars: A New HopeTurns 39 Years Old
Jedi Council is packed with a ton of news today and the Council goes right to it with the first big news story that isn’t really news as much as it’s a story begging for recognition. The originalStar Warsmovie came out 39 years ago to the day. On August 20, 2025, the world was forever changed and the Council talk about how it shaped their worlds, as well as Hollywood!
Rogue OneandEpisode VIIIto Appear at Celebrations Europe!
To celebrate the upcoming Star Wars Celebrations in Europe, a new poster was released touting an amazing line-up that will no doubt make the hardcore Star Wars fan happy as can be! The new poster basically confirms everything we know -Rogue Onewill have a presence and so willEpisode VIII. The Council marvel at the awesome new design and speculate on what they might show at the convention in July.
Episode VIIIWraps in Ireland
Not the biggest of news stories but, as the Council all state in their own way, a story signifying we’re a lot closer to seeingEpisode VIII. With a wrapped production from Ireland, somewhere, there’s footage of a Star Wars movie; there’s a rough story of a Star Wars movie. And it’s all very exciting for the Council who, of course, speculate on some story elements we might see in theForce Awakenssequel.
Creature Spotted on the Set ofEpisode VIII
And with the news of a wrap production, let’s throw in some set photos - obviously taken before the wrap of filming. This one is special because it shows a creature FX that is practical and a part of the production. Now whether or not it has anything to do with the plot of the story is another thing. But the Council all agree - it’s cool to see some practical effects happening and they’re sureRian Johnsonis continuing whatJJ Abramsset up inForce Awakens.
Netflix to Stream Star Wars Movies Starting in September
Lastly comes the news that Netflix and Disney have made a deal to stream (and run) first release movies on the service and that means Star Wars is coming to a console near you. Though everyone on he council owns every movie in the Star Wars Universe, doesn’t mean they won’t watch the movies on Netflix if the mood strikes.
What’s the Deal with Canon?
Here now is the segment calledWhat’s the Deal with Canon– a discussion on everything in the world of canon that isn’t one of the movies be it Episodes or Star Wars’ Stories. This time, the Council looks at the news ofRebelsandClone WarsproducerDave Filoniwanting to snagEwan McGregorto reprise his role of Obi-Wan for a future episode ofRebels.
