Star Wars Time – Details, episodes & analysis

After a short holiday break, the Star Wars Time Show kicks off 2026 by looking ahead at what may be the most important year for Star Wars since the franchise last hit theaters.

In this episode, we rank the Top 9 Star Wars releases and events guaranteed to arrive in 2026, spanning movies, animated series, video games, comics, theme park experiences, and a major legacy moment tied directly to George Lucas.

From the return of Star Wars to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu to the expansion of The Ninth Jedi and the rise of Maul’s criminal empire, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year.

Topics include:

• Star Wars’ return to theatrical releases

As we head into the holiday break, it’s time to look back at the moments that defined Star Wars in 2025.

In this solo episode of Star Wars Time Show, I rank and break down the top 10 Star Wars moments of the year — from Andor Season 2 setting a new standard for Star Wars storytelling, to major film and TV reveals, to the surprising wins that quietly won fans over.

This wasn’t just a year of announcements. It was a year where Star Wars finally felt confident again.

Topics include:

• Why Andor Season 2 stands above everything else

• The Mandalorian and Grogu’s return to the big screen

• Shawn Levy’s Starfighter movie announcement

• Maul: Shadow Lord and the smart use of legacy characters

• Skeleton Crew’s surprisingly strong finale

• Visions Volume 3 and The Ninth Jedi’s future

• Revenge of the Sith returning to theaters for its 20th anniversary

• And how the Star Wars community itself changed in 2025

This is a reflection on where Star Wars has been — and where it finally seems to be going.

What was your top Star Wars moment of 2025?

This week marked the launch of a brand-new era for the Star Wars Time Show. Matt and Nick introduced their new bi-weekly prerecorded format, where they’ll team up every other Monday to record a full show that premieres on YouTube Wednesdays at 6PM EST. On the off weeks, Matt will host solo livestreams to keep the content flowing. It’s a new rhythm for the channel, and the team is excited for what’s ahead.

Once the announcements were out of the way, they jumped into Ask Us Anything with a great question: Which Original Trilogy character’s story would you change? Nick picked Lando, Matt picked Boba Fett—but you’ll have to tune in to hear why.

The main event was a deep dive review of Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past. Both hosts found it stronger than season 1, praising its chaotic humor, clever writing, and unapologetically unserious tone. That sparked a debate: Is Lego Star Wars the best kind of Star Wars right now?

They closed things out with fan responses to the Question of the Week and another solid batch of Top 5 Star Wars fan artists, showcasing killer work from the community.

It's a two-for type of week here at SWTS as we shift our schedule to Wednesday streams for the last two episodes of the Ahsoka series. To accommodate this shift, I did a one man show with Nick's Discord chat to breakdown and speculate on the latest episode of the series titled, "Far, Far Away." I cover the episode review and deeper nuances, and theorize a bit on what power Baylan Skoll is seeking on Peridea. I then read Nick's take on the episode and his sheer disdain for live-action Grand Admiral Thrawn. If you didn't think Nick could get fired up, just tune in below because he brings the flamethrower! https://youtube.com/live/9Jw8DmyGMY4 Nick and I will be back together on next week's episode of the SWTS, so don't forget to tune into the Star Wars Time Show on a weekly basis via our podcast platforms or via YouTube if you prefer the livestream angle.
