Star Wars Celebration 2025 wasn’t just a gathering – it was a galactic explosion of jaw-dropping reveals, heart-thumping surprises, and nostalgia-fueled excitement.

From Hayden Christensen’s emotional return to the debut of never-before-seen footage, this year’s event packed more punches than a duel on Mustafar.

This time, the series dives deep into Maul’s shadowy leadership of a crime syndicate during the Imperial Era, featuring a mysterious new dark side apprentice who might be Talon. With a 2026 release date, this series is shaping up to be the darkest corner of Star Wars yet.

Was there a Mandalorian & Grogu Movie Footage leak?

Though the footage wasn’t shared online, insiders (including ScreenRant’s own boots-on-the-ground reporter) described scenes that instantly lit up the fandom. Din Djarin battling Imperials inside a walker? Check. Sigourney Weaver as a mystery character? Check.

Jabba the Hutt’s son, Rotta? Big check. There’s also the Razor Crest soaring once again, Din teaming up with Zeb Orrelios, and Grogu – our beloved little green hero – unleashing the Force like never before. Consider us completely and utterly hooked.

Would Asajj Ventress be starring in a New Animated Series?

A full episode of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld was shown exclusively at the Celebration, and it blew minds. The episode, “A Way Forward,” brought Asajj Ventress back from the shadows – literally and emotionally.

With Quinlan Vos, Mother Talzin, Inquisitor showdowns, and emotional throwbacks to the Clone Wars, the story teased a Ventress who’s caught between her past and a chance at redemption. Oh, and she casually saves a young Jedi and delivers a Force mind trick with her trademark attitude? Instant legend status.

What about the Anakin vs. Boba Fett Face-off?

Among the exclusive sneak peeks was unreleased footage from The Clone Wars, showcasing an epic chase and battle between Anakin Skywalker and a young Boba Fett.

Imagine a speeder pursuit, lightsaber vs. blaster combat, and a furious duel that ends with Boba escaping and Anakin reporting his failure to Mace Windu. It’s the kind of lost scene that leaves you wondering how it ever stayed on the cutting room floor.
