The galaxy far, far away continues to expand this month as Titan Magazines prepares to launch the latest issue of the official Star Wars Insider magazine. Arriving on newsstands and digital platforms on February 24th, Star Wars Insider 236 offers a massive deep dive into the 10-year legacy of Rogue One, exclusive interviews regarding the upcoming Maul: Shadow Lord series, and a look at the latest LEGO adventures.
For fans looking to stay ahead of the curve on upcoming Disney+ content and behind-the-scenes secrets, this issue is a mandatory addition to the collection.
Celebrating 10 Years of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
The centerpiece of Star Wars Insider 236 is an extensive look back at the making of Rogue One. It has been a decade since the first standalone Star Wars film changed the tone of the franchise. Insider brings together the “architects” of the film for a rare roundtable discussion.
Industrial Light & Magic’s executive creative director John Knoll, the man who originally pitched the story, is joined by director Gareth Edwards and writer Gary Whitta. The trio discusses the film’s inception, the challenges of creating a “war movie” within the Star Wars framework, and the lasting impact the film has had on the saga.
Adding to the Rogue One and Andor fever, the issue also features an interview with Alistair Petrie. Petrie, who portrays the pragmatic Rebel General Davits Draven, shares his experiences filming both the original movie and the critically acclaimed prequel series.
Sam Witwer Teases Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord
The dark side returns in force this year. With the highly anticipated Disney+ animated series Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord on the horizon, the man behind the voice, Sam Witwer, sits down with Insider.
Witwer discusses the evolution of the former Sith Lord. He hints at what fans can expect from Maul’s new adventures as he navigates the criminal underworld and his obsession with the Jedi. As one of the most beloved characters in the animated sphere, Witwer’s insights provide a roadmap for where the “Shadow Lord” is headed next.
LEGO Rebuild the Galaxy and Dark Horse Comics
The magazine doesn’t stop with live-action and animation. Fans of the brick will enjoy a conversation with Chris Buckley, the director of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy. Buckley explores the making of Pieces of the Past, detailing the creative freedom found in “remixing” the Star Wars timeline.
For comic book fans, Star Wars Insider 236 explores the shadows of the High Republic and beyond. Writer Cavan Scott and legendary concept artist Iain McCaig discuss the creative decisions behind the Dark Horse Comics mini-series, Tales from the Nightlands. They are joined by artists Robert Hack, Soo Lee, and Vincenzo Riccardi to break down the visual language of this eerie expansion of the lore.
Exclusive Short Fiction and More
No issue of Insider is complete without original storytelling. This month, Lucasfilm’s Phil Szostak contributes the penultimate slice of current Star Wars short fiction. These stories remain a vital way for fans to experience the galaxy between film and television releases.
