Good Morning, Youtinians. Thanks for bearing with us for a couple of days as we had some unexpected circumstances pop up (Lando’s folks told us they fixed the hyperdrive…). But we’ve got some exciting news about an updated web-based version of the Star Wars galaxy map, as well as a couple juicy interviews.

A Revamped Look at the Star Wars Galaxy Map!

There are a ton of cool pages to check out on starwars.com, but one of our new favorites is the interactive galaxy map, and we think it is worth losing a few hours to!

The Map: The map first appeared on the site as a companion for the 2009 reference book Star Wars: The Essential Atlas.

  • This map genuinely shows it all, including specific sectors of the galaxy. These include the Deep Core, Core, Colonies, Inner Rim, Expansion Region, Mid Rim, and the Unknown Regions.

  • You can also check out specific lines of famous trade routes throughout the galaxy, including the Corellian Run and the Perlemian Trade Route.

  • And if the interactive map isn’t enough fun for you, there is also an updated PDF appendix of systems linked on the page, which currently runs a very impressive 59 pages.

We're all fine here now — how are you? This story is a little shorter than some that we bring you here in the Dispatch, but we wanted to take a moment to recognize the work that goes into making a resource like this for us Star Wars fans and ensure you know about it! Next time you have a couple of hours to spare, brew yourself a cup of caf and check out the map!

Two Interviews Hint at the Future of Our Galaxy

An interview with a key Star Wars person is always fun to watch, and often includes one or two little gems for us to enjoy! So, when two interviews dropped this week, we were ecstatic!

Ahsoka Season 2

As we reported earlier, Ahsoka Season 2 started filming in late April in the UK. In a recent interview with GamesRadar+, Ivanna Sakhno (aka Shin Hati) lifted the curtain ever so slightly by giving some super exciting tidbits! Even with the veil of secrecy, she shared what she could, and it was scintillating!

What's new?

  • Her interview confirms that filming is progressing and the new season is on track.

  • “It’s such an exciting time for us to be back together, and we’re currently in the middle of filming it”.

  • “All I can say is that it is bigger and even more in-depth, and I'm really excited for people to see it. It means the world”.

  • “I had a wonderful, wonderful stunt team and personal trainer as well, who are very grounded people”.

  • “We did quite a bit of obviously, like Krav Maga and different styles of fighting. We also did Tai Chi and studied the ability to move your energy from one place to another in order to remain still”.

This news is SO exciting as we imagine what could happen next and dare to dream of the awesomeness around Ezra meeting Thrawn again!

Skeleton Crew News?!

Skeleton Crew was everything it was hyped up to be: a wonderful trip with a great cast and an awesome story that opened up another new chapter of Star Wars, with a side order of 80s-style kids' adventure!

What's new?

  • Skeleton Crew director Jon Watts sat down for a chat at the Mediterrane Film Festival, 21-29 June, in Malta, and provided us with reason to HOPE for more!

  • Watts expressed a strong desire to keep working in the Star Wars galaxy. He stated, “I love Star Wars. I would love to do more Star Wars, and I can’t say anything more.”

  • When the moderator dug into the Skeleton Crew Season 2 chest, Watts’s response was cryptic and vague, stating, “I can’t say exactly what it might be if it were even a thing”.

We’re all fine here now — how are you? Season 1 blew us away - Purrgils, Thrawn, Marrok, Hera, Jacen, OMG!! Skeleton Crew was SO much fun to watch and live again and again with Jod, Fern, KB, SM-33, and of course, Neel, oh Neel! Watts’s news is also magic.

These little interviews just take our anticipation to the next level. Share your thoughts and love of Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew with us on Discord or tune into The Youtini Show to listen to updates as the wait continues!
