Rosario Dawson first wielded the white lightsabers of Ahsoka Tano in Season 2 of "The Mandalorian" and later in "The Book of Boba Fett". Her own series launched in August 2023, and story-wise wise it acted largely as a continuation of the animated series "Star Wars Rebels", with both good and evil characters returning from the earlier show.
"Ahsoka" also saw the return of Hayden Christensen to the role of Anakin Skywalker. Anakin's force ghost teaches his old padawan a lesson in the World Between Worlds.
Season One ended with Ahsoka and Sabine Wren finding the lost Ezra Bridger on the other side of the galaxy, only for Ezra and Admiral Thrawn to return to more familiar space while Ahsoka and Sabine remain lost with no hope of returning home.
"Ahsoka" Season 2 doesn't have a release date yet, but it is expected to premiere sometime in 2026.
Also expected to release in 2026 is the film "The Mandalorian & Grogu," which will see the return of Din Djarin and his adoptive son since "The Mandalorian" Season 3. A sizzle reel highlighted some great moments from the film at Star Wars Celebration 2025, including Din Djarin taking out snowtroopers in the belly of an AT-AT. "The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters May 22, 2026.
And "The Mandalorian & Grogu" wasn't the only big upcoming "Star Wars" project that enjoyed a preview at Star Wars Celebration 2025. Shawn Levy's Ryan Gosling-starring film name was revealed: "Star Wars: Starfighter".
But just as Ahsoka Tano started out in an animated world, another animated project was announced at Star Wars Celebration 2025. "Maul: Shadow Lord," an animated miniseries, was announced. The series will see Sam Witwer return once again to voice Darth Maul.
And for folks who don't feel like waiting for their "Star Wars" fix, the premiere of the second and final season of "Andor" is streaming on Disney+.

Paige Spiranac Got 'Greatest Experience of my Life' with Tiger Woods
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Any golf fan would give almost anything for a lesson from the legendary Tiger Woods. Well, the equally famous Paige Spiranac had that opportunity, and naturally, it was unforgettable. Spiranac recounted the experience during a recent interview on the Vanity Index podcast by Skratch. The former pro player and current influencer also revealed what impressed her most about Woods—and it wasn't precisely his golf skills. "He gave me a chipping lesson once. It was like the greatest experience of my life," Spiranac said. "He smells so good, by the way... like that was the first thing I noticed." "I remember he hugged me, and he smelled so good, and I didn't take my jacket off or wash it for an embarrassingly long time because I was like, 'I feel and smell like a winner,'" she added. Of course, the moment also involved the highest quality of golf. Spiranac described the lesson she received from Tiger Woods just as you would expect from such an opportunity. "We were doing this low little spinny shot and so we opened the club up almost like on your back, open stance, narrow choke down, and you take it out and almost slice across it and it's you hit it with like a 54 [degree wedge] it comes out low and then checks on the second bounce. It's a really cool shot. He did [demonstrate it] and it was perfect." Paige Spiranac is the golf personality with the most followers on social media. She is currently followed by more than one million X users, more than four million on Instagram and more than 1.4 million on TikTok. Her YouTube channel has over 445,000 subscribers.

Brian McKnight's estranged son Niko dead at 32
Brian McKnight's estranged son Niko McKnight has died, just two years after he was diagnosed with cancer. He was 32. The news was shared by Niko's uncle, Claude McKnight, in a video posted to TikTok. "I'm not going off the script or anything like that. I'm just gonna be raw with how I'm feeling," he said. "Niko was one of those amazing kids who was quirky and curious and ridiculously talented. "Amazing singer, an amazing guitar player, had a great eye as a photographer. He was one of those kids that, at least in my estimation, was somebody you always wanted to be around. And so it really sucks that he's no longer with us." Claude continued, "I wanted to post this about Niko, about his legacy, about how amazing he is - and not about what some of you may have heard about, you know, the family drama that has existed for quite some time in our family." Brian shared Niko with his ex-wife, Julie McKnight. They also had sons Brian Jr and Clyde, and daughter Briana The Back at One singer has yet to break his silence on Niko's death, although the pair had reportedly been estranged for a number of years. Three months after Niko revealed his cancer diagnosis in January 2024, Brian referred to his four older children as a "product of sin" in a video shared to Instagram.
