January 2026 This is the Way Podcast Star Wars News Update

This is the Way Podcast hopes your 2026 started off just the way you wanted. It's going to be an interesting year for Star Wars, but the calendar isn't full, by any measure. There is a new show debuting in April, a movie release a month later, and May the Fourth usually has some surprises. No "Star Wars Celebration" this year, even with The Mandalorian and Grogu coming, but Starfighter got a surprise "Cruise" member before wrapping up principal photography. Star Wars gamers will have to wait for new games, but there's an "old" one coming to the XBOX game pass. Hasbro listed three figures and a helmet this month and it might be smart to look up LEGO's newest offerings in the Star Wars category. Just make sure you go over the details brick by SMART brick before you make a purchase. There's Ahsoka news and maybe more awards for Andor and Disney parks is putting some original touches on Galaxy's Edge that could put a spark of rebellion back in Batuu. This is the Way Podcast will be participating once again in the annual Star Wars Podcast Day on February 7th of 2026. It's self-described as an annual, unofficial celebration of the Star Wars fan audio community. Each year, more and more podcasts and vodcasts join in for #StarWarsPodcastDay and #SWPD2026 will be the 6th year This is the Way Podcast releases an episode to take part! Feel free to take part in contributing ideas and commenting on our podcasts on YouTube, on Spotify, on Facebook, through Amazon's podcast portal, or even on Discord. May the Force be with us!
