This week, we're at San Diego Comic Con,
and we're talking about all those sweet, sweet reveals.
[exciting music]
Paging Cavan Scott to the floor.
We've got Jaxxon.
Oh, it's so good.
Suka!
Beach-ready Darth Vader!
Let's get to the news.
This just in from The High Republic.
On Friday Amanda Stenberg was announced
as the lead for the forthcoming live action Star Wars series "The Acolyte,"
heading to Disney+.
Set decades before the events of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,"
the mystery-thriller is helmed by Leslye Headland.
Also filed under For Light and Life,
during the Lucasfilm Publishing Panel at San Diego Comic-Con
we got our first look at some new covers, pages, and interior spreads
from books and comics set in The High Republic and beyond.
The cover of the audio original "The Battle of Jedha" is glorious,
giving us a hint at what Phase II has in store.
We also got the cover of the new all-ages comic from Dark Horse
"Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures issue #1,"
pages from the imprint's limited series "The Nameless Terror,"
and the cover of Marvel's "The High Republic issue #2."
We said yes to the dress for the wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa
with full artwork from the cover of "The Princess and the Scoundrel,"
turned the page on a clan of Wookiees for the saga sweeping "Hyperspace Stories,"
and braved the wampa's lair for the first pages from "Tales from the Rancor Pit."
Plus, we got a peek inside "Star Wars: 100 Objects,"
and The Life Day Pop-Up Book and Advent Calendar.
Check out the full rundown of reveals for yourself now at StarWars.com/ThisWeek.
And in addition to all those sweet convention sclusies,
our friends at Hasbro opened the lid on their toy chest for a look
at new Star Wars action figures and other items
coming out later this year and in 2023.
Darth Vader's lightsaber is headed to The Black Series FX Elite line
and new entries from the forthcoming video game "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor"
are thriving in The Black Series and The Vintage Collection.
New figures from "The Mandalorian" will include 6-inch scale Luke Skywalker
and a Grogu that comes with a pram and his own snacky snacks.
Boba Fett's starship, safely recovered in "The Book of Boba Fett,"
joins the 3.75 inch scale with an all-new paint job.
For all these and more, press your face to the glass at StarWars.com/ThisWeek now.
Speaking of, I heard there's some Grogus on the floor.
Let's go find 'em.
The costume exhibit at the Lucasfilm pavilion is a cosplayer's dream.
Here you get an up-close and personal look
with some screen-used costumes,
and you get to see every little detail on them.
This is the first time we're getting a close look at Boba Fett
from "The Book of Boba Fett."
Really great styling on this armor.
Surprise guest from "The book of Boba Fett,"
The Mandalorian.
And you can see his mudhorn signet.
Where's Grogu?
My favorite Mandalorian Bo-Katan Kryze is also here.
From "Obi-Wan Kenobi," we have Darth Vader,
and the start of "Obi-Wan Kenobi," Obi-Wan, or Ben Kenobi.
Not even trying to hide the lightsaber. It's right there.
And of course, you can't have "Andor" without Cassian Andor
with an all-new look.
Jeans. Jeans are in space now.
And of course, the other star of "Andor," my girl Mon Mothma.
Lots of great accessories with this outfit.
We haven't even quite met him yet on "Andor,"
but I'm already in love with B2EMO.
Look at him! Look at him.
He's adorable.
Chewie! Hi!
- [Chewie roars]
- It's so good to see you!
I haven't seen you since the office Christmas party.
- [Chewie chuckles]
- Yeah, yeah, can I get a hug? Is that okay?
At the Hasbro booth, our first reveal of all kinds of new, exclusive figures
coming to store shelves later this year and early next year.
It's Boba Fett and Fennec Shand confronting Bib Fortuna at his palace.
Ooh! There's a little droid head on a platter.
both: I loved you at Celebration!
Here at the Sideshow booth, there's a ton of cool Star Wars content,
including this Clone Wars case.
If these characters look exactly like they just stepped out of animation,
it's because they used the actual files from "Star Wars: The Clone Wars"
to create these sculpts.
And because sometimes using the Force is just lifting rocks,
Obi-Wan Kenobi from the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series,
lifting rocks.
You can definitely tell he's about to say, "I have the high ground."
On the Hot Toys side of the booth, weighing in at almost 5' long and 5' wide,
we have the N-1 Starfighter from "The Book of Boba Fett."
It even comes with a little Mando and a little Grogu!
Aw, it's just like being on Endor, you guys!
Oh. Sorry.
Backing away.
We found him! This isn't San Diego Comic-Con daycare.
It's actually the EFX booth.
Among the amazing prop replicas and helmets,
we also have this little guy. It's Grogu in his pram.
He's so lifelike, screen-accurate.
He just looks exactly like you would expect him to.
It's the celebrity sighting magic of San Diego Comic-Con.
Whew, that's a lot of news.
That's it for this week, but for more on these stories

Thanks for watching, and may the Force be with you.
Right, R2? - [R2 beeping]
