How To Watch The Star Wars Saga In Timeline Order

Watching all of the various series and movies in the Star Wars Saga has become increasingly complicated over the years. Seasons of a series end up taking place in and around the movies and other series, and even worse, several seem to run concurrently.

Solo: A Star Wars Story On Blu-ray

Lucasfilm

Solo: A Star Wars Story arrives on Blu-ray today. The movie was unexpectedly fun. Although it took me awhile to get used to the young cast in place of familiar faces, I enjoyed the chance to see how my favorite smuggler and rogue got started on his life of crime. We learned how Han, Chewie, and Lando met, and we finally saw what happened on the mysterious Kessel Run. Solo: A Star Wars Story may not be as intense as other Star Wars films, but it is still a decent story that I'm sure I'll watch again and again.

• Solo: The Director & Cast Roundtable
• Team Chewie - A behind the scenes look at what it take to bring Chewbacca to life

May the 4th Be With You!

Lucasfilm

It's that time of year again... May the 4th, or as it's known around the world, Star Wars Day. Today is a good day to kick back with a glass of blue milk and maybe a few Wookie cookies and watch a few of your favorite Star Wars films. A new movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story, is headed into theaters later this month. It's the story of how Han Solo met several of his friends, like Chewie and Lando Calrissian, and became the smuggler and rogue we all know and love.

Lucasfilm

In the film, the Millenium Falcon is owned by Lando, and it's in quite a different state than the one we're most familiar with. Check out this tour of the fabulous Falcon with Donald Glover, who plays Lando.

It looks pretty amazing, right? Solo: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters on May 25. Until then...

Happy Star Wars Day!

May the Force be with you, always.

Star Wars: Forces of Destiny Specials Coming in October

Disney

A new trailer has been released for two Star Wars: Forces of Destiny specials. The half hour shows will air on October 1 and 29 on the Disney Channel. Afterward, they will also be available on Disney's YouTube. The specials will be made up of the previously released shorts featuring Rey, Jyn Erso, Sabine, Leia, Ahsoka Tano, and Padme Amidala, as well as 8 new ones. The new shorts will include additional characters, such as Han Solo, Hera Syndulla, Finn, Maz Kanata, and more.

Disney originally launched Forces of Destiny to show the powerful female characters of the Star Wars universe. However, as Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said, they are, "for anyone who has been inspired by Leia's heroism, Rey's courage, or Ahsoka's tenacity." And the shorts all fit in with the existing Star Wars storylines. Story Group member Carrie Beck said, "One of the opportunities here was to tell the stories in between the larger moments and imagine some of the ways our characters have crossed. It's all part of the larger swath of storytelling."

Rogue One Teaser Trailer

Lucasfilm

A teaser trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story appeared on Good Morning America this week. The film, which tells the story of a small Rebel group whose mission is to steal the Death Star plans, takes place shortly before episode IV: A New Hope. Felicity Jones stars in the film as Jyn Erso. She's described as "reckless, aggressive, and undisiplined." But, as she says in the trailer, "This is a rebellion, isn't it? I rebel."

Disney and Lucasfilm intend to release additional Star Wars films every year for the next five years. Episode VIII will debut in December 2017, and a young Han Solo film should arrive sometime in 2018.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters on December 16.

Halloween Treats at Disney World

I was very excited to discover some new Halloween treats at Disney World recently. There were a few collectible popcorn buckets and drink cups that I was really hoping would be available. First up is a Nightmare Before Christmas popcorn bucket. It's Zero in his doghouse! And to make him even more special, Zero glows in the dark, and his nose lights up! I'm not sure if he's only available during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party or not, but be on the lookout at popcorn carts around the Magic Kingdom.

The next cool container was inspired by the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It's a scary apple with a drippy skull. The cup is a translucent red, and the skull is white and glows in the dark. This lidded cup can be found across from Pecos Bill's in Adventureland. It comes filled with your choice of soft drink and costs $8. And you can ask for your soda without ice for an even better deal.

The final Treat is a regular Disney popcorn bucket with a lid. I saw it earlier in the day, but wasn't sure I wanted to carry it all day. It has the Lonesome Ghosts chasing Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. It's from one of my favorite Disney shorts, so I had to have it. Unfortunately, they close a lot of the popcorn carts early during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. I tried three different carts before I finally found it at the cart next to Gaston's Tavern in Fantasyland. They had already cleaned up the popcorn and closed the register, but when I explained that I had run to the cart just to buy that specific bucket, a very sweet Cast Member gave me the empty bucket anyway. I was very greatful! As silly as it sounds, I adore those ridiculous popcorn buckets and actually have about a dozen. However, we plan to start using them during movie nights, so it's alright.

Although they aren't Halloween, I did want to mention that I found a few of the special Star Wars buckets at Hollywood Studios. They had both Vader's Helmet and the Han Solo in Carbonite from Star Wars Weekends. I found them at the popcorn cart across from Toy Story Midway Mania. You can get them filled with either regular popcorn or caramel popcorn. (All of the popcorn is now PopSecret brand, which is more consistent than the popcorn they used to use.)
