The Light and Dark Side Force 'Dyad' that are Rey and Kylo Ren clash within the latter's unique private chamber on his First Order Destroyer, of which the unique celebration of Ren's 'Grandfather' is swiftly destroyed during their intense lightsaber conflict.
Just what we needed to see after the prior and controversial Superbowl advert, this new trailer for the galaxy's most unusual pairing will hopefully catch the worldwide Star Wars fan families' support this coming May 21st, 2026...
As the enemy Invisible Hand vessel comes under fierce attack from Republic forces high above Coruscant, our trapped Jedi heroes and the newly rescued Supreme Chancellor Palpatine must traverse dangerous areas inside the vessel whilst continuing their perilous escape attempts, during one of many opening deleted scenes from Episode III.
It's the greatest fight for survival ever for our intrepid hero Indiana Jones as he takes on the remaining warriors of the horrific Thuggee Cult and their brutal, terrifying leader Mola Ram, possessed with devilish powers. It's action and excitement all the way high above the Pankot landscape, and across a rickety rope bridge, no less!
Another classic sequence from the under-appreciated Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
The latest ultra-cute younger audience friendly promotional spot for the upcoming film (coming May 22nd, 2026), as seen amongst the plethora of all-new film/TV trailers aired during this year's Superbowl experience.
Newly arrived on the noxious, deadly world of spice and slavery that is Kessel, Han Solo and his comrades in smuggling depart the Millennium Falcon, initiating a risky plan to steal vitally needed coaxium from the dangerous Pyke Syndicate.
A lovely piece of concept art for Solo: A Star Wars Story by Vincent Jenkins.
Deep in the heart of the Jedi Temple Archives, Obi-Wan Kenobi ponders the intriguing mystery of the missing planet Kamino and wonders where it, and its system, has gone from their star maps. Further help will be needed to unravel this anomaly, in a scene from EPISODE II.
That infamous former Sith bad boy is back in his own eagerly-anticipated animated series, forging his criminal empire across the galaxy and taking on a new Force apprentice (clearly, Dave Filoni is going back to the original concept Lucas had for the Disney sequels, of which Maul was to have been the central villain). Enjoy the new trailer!
Above the infamous and dreaded Sarlaac Pit of the Dune Sea, the unstoppable force that is Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker fights on against Jabba's mercenaries, jumping from one sand skiff to another, in a superb aerial shot from the classic action sequence of Return of the Jedi.
She's been rushing at Force speed to the local shoreline thinking that the decayed Jedi Temple's ongoing servitors, the Caretakers, are in danger from hostile sea pirates, but Rey soon makes an unlikely discovery! A fun deleted moment from The Last Jedi.
Acclaimed artist Martin Ansin's stunning works covering the Star Wars saga have been published worldwide, and they continue on with this gorgeous piece covering the excitement, action and drama of The Empire Strikes Back.
A look at just one amazing costume for Queen Amidala seen in EPISODE I. Stunning image by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair magazine.
Never has there been a Star Wars film before or since where the costume design of the characters has been so important to the overall storytelling function than in The Phantom Menace, and especially with regards to the life and duties of Naboo's beloved Queen Amidala, as played by a very young Natalie Portman, who instantly fell in love with the designs, and inspired her acting choices, brought to her in full creation by Trisha Biggar over three months filming in 1997.
Three shots taken by Nigel Parry for Lucasfilm to use in publicity.
He's finally found his beloved, prior stolen Millennium Falcon, now legendary star pilot Han Solo has to get used to the two interlopers who have been stowed aboard with his discovery in Rey and Finn, and get used to the fact that he has a second mate in the cockpit who isn't currently Chewie, in a fun scene between Daisy Ridley and Harrison Ford from The Force Awakens.
As the intense red sun of Yavin captures nearly all of the sky above, a Rebel sentry on look out atop his sentry post watches the X-wing fighters blast off into the skies from their temple bases, in a wonderful shot from the original version of Star Wars.
I loved the Special Edition version of this scene with the X-wings and Y-wings too, but this original shot works much better with John Williams ever-special score.
Here's a shot I had never seen before, so I thought I'd put it up on the blog. A head shaved Ray Park (you just have to look at...

WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSE OF STAR WARS AFICIONADO
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF STAR WARS AFICIONADO!
Written and conceived by Scott Weller, this is the website to the popular UK STAR WARS fan magazine STAR WARS AFICIONADO. The aim of this blog is to educate, enlighten and, hopefully, entertain STAR WARS fans of all ages across the world. Basically, to have fun and enjoy all six of George Lucas's classic movies, the three sequel adventures linked to the Skywalker family (2015 to 2019) and the two spin-off anthology films ROGUE ONE and SOLO. Plus animated TV series spin-off THE CLONE WARS (and STAR WARS REBELS). AFICIONADO celebrates the actual films NOT the modern merchandise overkill!
From time to time, this site will also cover other classic LUCASFILM related movies and TV series, like the INDIANA JONES saga (I to IV), WILLOW, THX-1138, AMERICAN GRAFFITI and RED TAILS.
The original fourteen issue run ofSTAR WARS AFICIONADO wasnon-profit making. The site, and former magazine, are NOT affiliated with/to LUCASFILM in any way.
