Disney+ has a full slate of Star Wars shows coming up this year, but Lucasfilm is already looking beyond Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, and The Mandalorian season 3. Principal photography is currently underway for next year’s Ahsoka, a new series starring Rosario Dawson as the beloved Jedi hero who first made her debut in animated series The Clone Wars and Rebels.
Ahead of Star Wars Celebration Anaheim next week, where it’s possible we’ll see the very first footage from the set of the new show, Dawson sat down to chat with Vanity Fair about the process of bringing the character to live action. Along the way, she recalled her initial reaction to the key prosthetic needed to complete her transformation into Ahsoka Tano: the headpiece that makes up the Togruta character’s montrals (the horn-like sensory organs on top of her head) and lekku (the head tails hanging down...

Rosario Dawson’s debut as the live-action Ahsoka Tano was one of the most hyped things about season 2 of The Mandalorian. She eventually appeared in the last episode, “The Jedi,” and the general reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. After all, Ahsoka’s a huge fan-favorite character and very well developed, with The Mandalorian continuing the story we saw begin in The Clone Wars and carry on in Rebels.
By the time this episode was set, she’s an incredibly seasoned warrior and among the most powerful Force users in the galaxy. The series didn’t shy away from showing off her skills, either, mixing Western and samurai movies (and Michael Biehn) together, and depicting her waging a one-Togruta war against a despotic magistrate.
It kicked ass, with the vast majority of viewers over the moon at seeing a fan-favorite character being brought to life so well. But, as always, there are dissenters.

The Mandalorian is back and fans are already going nuts for the second season premiere that just dropped on Disney+. It’s a barnstorming return and a rare highlight in 2020’s dreary entertainment landscape.
The wild success and popularity is good stuff for a show that at first seemed like a bit of an outside bet. After all, The Mandalorian initially felt as if it might be the cast-off from the cancelled Boba Fett solo movie and there were some who feared that having three (including Jango Fett) very similar-looking characters in Star Wars wasn’t a great idea.
The show overcame that hurdle pretty quickly, however, defining the armor as the standard Mandalorian aesthetic and getting deep into its functionality and symbolism. Now, newly released concept art hints that Lucasfilm were conscious of the similarities to the Fetts and went for a different look for Din Djarin. As you can see,...

He wouldn't make the leap to the big screen until The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, but a 1978 screen test shows Boba Fett was fully realized while A New Hope was still in theaters.
Filmed June 28, 1978 at George Lucas' home, the nearly five-minute clip of footage shows the detail of the character who would go on to become a fan favorite and decades down the road inspire the current Disney+ series The Mandalorian.

Concept designer Brian Matyas created art for the Alex Proyas' scrapped adaptation of John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost. The film was set for production about a year ago, but budget concerns overwhelmed the story about Lucifer's descent into hell and transformation into the Satan. Proyas' plan to create elaborate sets for Heaven, Hell, and the Garden of Eden had already reached a $100 million budget — and as well all know, these numbers are never that firm. Legendary Pictures feared increases, and paradise was indeed lost. Fans of The Crow and Dark City director Alex Proyas were excited to see him take on a project of this scope. His penchant for dark, textured visuals would have been a great addition to the action-packed biblical drama, which is now...

I would have loved to see Alex Proyas be able to make this Paradise Lost movie. It sounded like it was going to be awesome, and now we've got some really cool concept art done for the film that shows us what could have been.
Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) was supposed to play Lucifer in the film, which was to be based on the epic 17th-century poem by John Milton. It would have been an epic-sized movie about good vs. evil, and it tells the story of the war in heaven between archangels Michael and Lucifer, including the latter's role in Adam and Eve's fall from grace. Here's the official synopsis:
Lucifer and Michael, God's greatest archangels, share the bond of extraordinary friendship until God produces his greatest creation: Man. Unable to remain subservient to God if it means bowing down to humanity, Lucifer begins his dark descent and is...
