LEGO Summer Special
We learned about a new LEGO special: LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation!
The special will take place after episode 9. Rose, Rey, Chewie, Poe, Finn, and the whole gang are back and in need of a little break. So they go on a vacation, but things might go a little…awry! And they’ll see that over the course of Star Wars history, lots of characters have tried to go on vacation and things haven’t gone quite right!
Just where will they be headed? Well, the Halcyon apparently — which is the ship guests go on when at the Star Wars Hotel!
Looks like part of their adventure will take place there!
And even the droids come along for some of the fun!
In this story, Finn is going to be front and center! And according to some of the creators behind the special, there might just be a summer tune that’ll get stuck in your head!
The special will premiere on Disney+ on August 5th.
Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures
Star Wars has also announced that a NEW animated series will be coming to Disney+ and Disney Junior in the spring of 2023!
The series will follow younglings as they study the way of the Force.

According to some of the people behind the show, Yoda will make an appearance. The premise is that Yoda has sent these younglings to temples in the outer rim to get some real experience and they go on adventures saving the day!
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi
And, a new anthology series of animated shorts titled Tales of the Jedi will also make its way to Disney+ in the fall of 2022!

Guests visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will also soon have access to new AR filters through the My Disney Experience app (and on Snapchat for a limited time) that will turn them into characters from a galaxy far, far away.

Hyperspace Lounge
Disney also shared more details about how drinks will be served on the Disney Wish’s Star Wars-themed bar, Hyperspace Lounge. Guests will be served drinks in camtonos (those cylindrical vessels you see often in Star Wars movies and TV shows)
This technology is in the early phases of developments, so it could be awhile before we see this on the Disney Wish — but it sure is cool to see the prototype!
See more details about the camtonos here!
More!
We also got confirmation that The Mandalorian Season 3 will feature a trip to Mandalore. Katee Sackoff (who plays Bo Katan) shared that they’ll be going so she can be forgiven for her transgressions.
