Mandalorian Season 2 Photos, Kenobi Series, Rey's Lineage and More!

The purpose of Star Wars Thrills is to put all the Star Wars news from the week of September 4, 2020 in one location. This week, we’ve got the first The Mandalorian Season 2 photos, an update on the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, news on Rey’s original lineage, a new LEGO Cantina set, and much more!

If you read this each week, you should be able to converse fluently with any Star Wars fan on everything from the latest Star Wars developments to the latest toys. And maybe you’ll even share with them something that they might have missed.

Let’s get to it, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have news or updates that you think should be included in the next installment of Star Wars Thrills!
