The purpose of Star Wars Thrills is to put all the Star Wars news from the week of February 7, 2020 in one location. This week, we’ve got updates on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the new Star Wars hotel coming in 2021 to Walt Disney World Resort, more on the new Cassian and Obi-Wan Kenobi TV shows coming to the Disney+ streaming service, Funko’s Baby Yoda, behind-the-scenes looks at Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and 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!
