But five weekends in, the story is getting more interesting. The film dropped just 13% at the US box office in its fifth weekend, adding $4,174,039 domestically. That brings its US total to $172,039,029, with its global total now sitting at $322,039,029. No, that is not The Force Awakens money. No, nobody is confusing this with a billion-dollar Star Wars event. But after weeks of very loud “is theatrical Star Wars in trouble?” chatter, this hold is worth noticing. Because the movie did not collapse. It is still hanging around. And that matters. The Opening Was Soft. The Legs Are the Story Now. When The Mandalorian and Grogu opened, a lot of the conversation focused on what it was not. It was not a massive Disney-era Star Wars opening. It was not a cultural earthquake. It was not... - [When Episode I: Racer Returned, Star Wars Remembered Podracing Still Works](https://swtorstrategies.com/2026/06/episode-i-racer-returned-podracing-still-works.html): On June 23, 2020, Star Wars Episode I: Racer came roaring back onto Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. And somehow, the old podracing game still knew exactly what it was doing. No overcomplicated reboot. No grim cinematic reinvention. No one standing in a dark hangar explaining that podracing was actually a metaphor for galactic trauma. Just two engines, too much speed, flaming methane lakes, Tusken Raider attacks, anti-gravity tunnels, and the eternal question: How close can you fly to a wall before your entire life becomes smoke? The Podracing Fantasy Never Really Left The original Episode I: Racer arrived in 1999, built around one of the most immediately game-friendly sequences in The Phantom Menace. Say what you want about the movie, but the podrace was basically a video game pitch hiding inside a Star Wars film. Fast machines. Dangerous tracks. Weird alien racers. Exploding engines. A tiny child making health... - [Star Wars: Unlimited’s 2026 Convention Exclusive Is Pure Bounty Hunter Bait](https://swtorstrategies.com/2026/06/star-wars-unlimited-2026-convention-exclusive-bounty-hunters.html): Star Wars: Unlimited knows exactly how to make collectors nervous. Fantasy Flight Games has revealed the 2026 Convention Exclusive product, and this year’s theme is pure Underworld chaos: Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, Cad Bane, Qi’ra, Jabba the Hutt, and Zam Wesell. That is not a card pack. That is a criminal networking event with better artwork. The exclusive pack includes six alternate-art variant cards with a grayscale visual style and will be available at selected conventions from 2026 into 2027. The price is $100, because apparently even cardboard has learned how to charge like the Hutt Cartel. Six Cards, Maximum Bounty Hunter Energy The lineup is the real hook here. From A Lawless Time, the pack includes Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, and Cad Bane. From Ashes of the Empire, it includes Qi’ra and Jabba the Hutt. From the upcoming Homeworlds set, it includes Zam Wesell. That is a strong mix... - [Before SWTOR, Evil Never Dies Made Sith History Feel Ancient and Dangerous](https://swtorstrategies.com/2026/06/evil-never-dies-sith-dynasties-swtor-history.html): On June 22, 2006, Star Wars published Evil Never Dies: The Sith Dynasties. That title is doing a lot of work. It sounds less like a lore article and more like something carved into a tomb wall by a Sith historian who absolutely should not be trusted near a holocron. But that was the point. Before Star Wars: The Old Republic let players walk through Sith temples, argue with ancient ghosts, and make terrible career choices on Korriban, Star Wars was already building the feeling that Sith history was not just old. It was ancient. Poisoned. Layered. A dynasty of ambition, betrayal, survival, collapse, and extremely dramatic people refusing to learn from each other. The Sith Needed to Feel Older Than the Movies For casual movie viewers, the Sith were mostly Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and the vague sense that red lightsabers usually mean bad workplace... - [George Lucas Joining Minions & Monsters Is the Weirdest Star Wars-Adjacent News of the Week](https://swtorstrategies.com/2026/06/george-lucas-minions-and-monsters-voice-role.html): George Lucas is back in Hollywood. Sort of. Not with a new Star Wars trilogy. Not with a secret Indiana Jones project. Not with a surprise return to Lucasfilm where he walks into a boardroom, says “midichlorians,” and makes half the internet immediately choose violence. No. George Lucas is lending his voice to Minions & Monsters. Yes, that Minions universe. The man who gave us Jedi, Sith, the Force, droids, lightsabers, podracing, THX 1138, Indiana Jones, Industrial Light & Magic, Skywalker Sound, and enough franchise architecture to keep pop culture arguing until the heat death of the universe is now stepping into Illumination’s yellow chaos machine. And honestly? That is kind of wonderful. This Is Not the Comeback Anyone Expected Entertainment Weekly reports that Lucas has a voice role in Minions & Monsters, Illumination’s upcoming animated film set for release on July 1.
