The future of Star Wars has never felt more uncertain… or more exciting.
In this brand new episode of SciFiPulse Now, Ian Cullen and Marx Pyle take a deep dive into where the galaxy far, far away is heading next. With The Mandalorian & Grogu behind us, Star Wars: Starfighter on the horizon, and Ahsoka Season 2 preparing to continue the story of Grand Admiral Thrawn, is Lucasfilm finally getting back on course?
The discussion explores the biggest rumours surrounding Starfighter, including speculation about Mara Jade, Luke Skywalker’s possible legacy, and what George Lucas’ reported involvement could mean for the franchise. Along the way, Ian and Marx debate whether Star Wars should embrace more stories set between the Original Trilogy and the Sequel Trilogy, revisit beloved Expanded Universe characters, or even continue the adventures of Luke, Han and Leia through animation.
There’s plenty of friendly debate too. The pair discuss why Solo: A Star Wars Story deserved a better reception, whether the sequel trilogy lost its way, the challenges of recasting iconic characters, and how Lucasfilm can rebuild fan confidence without simply relying on nostalgia. Expect passionate opinions, a few outrageous theories, and more than a couple of laughs along the way.
Whether you’re excited for the next chapter of Star Wars, still frustrated by the sequel trilogy, or simply love discussing where the franchise could go next, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
Watch the episode and then join the conversation in the comments. Do you think Star Wars: Starfighter could be the beginning of a new golden age for the franchise?

Also, would this be a good time to bring up my all consuming obsession with STAR WARS KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC???????? 😉
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I knew we’d get here eventually. There was no escaping KOTOR! 😂
I mean, I don’t want to oversell it but KOTOR is like a cross between The Goonies, the ballroom scene in Labyrinth and Rurouni Kenshin all rolled into one.
I apologise for being a broken record but I saw someone in the tags on one Tumblr post say that dark side Revan led to the Disney canon and light side Revan led to Legends canon. Which I find hard to disagree with in fairness.
