The purpose of Star Wars Thrills is to put all the Star Wars news from the last week and a half in one location. This week, we’ve got updates on the new Boba Fett TV series, updates on Bo-Katan, $50 Baby Yoda macarons, 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!
