Not that there’s ever a bad year to be a Star Wars fan, but long-time lovers of the franchise have had plenty of exciting content to enjoy this year, with more on the way before the arrival of 2027. The first project of the year that didn’t need the Force to win over fans around the world was Maul — Shadow Lord, the Disney+ series that was renewed for Season 2 before a single episode of Season 1 hit the air. The show stars Sam Witwer as the titular Dark Side Force user, and it worked so well because it pulled Darth Maul out of the shadows of other heroes and villains and put him at the center, proving he’s more than compelling enough to lead his own show.
Star Wars fans were dealt a bout of bad news when it was confirmed that Ahsoka Season 2 had been delayed to 2027, but that wasn’t the only negative press for the franchise in 2026. The Mandalorian and Grogu arrived back in May as the first Star Wars movie since 2019, but three seasons of The Mandalorian clearly weren’t enough to generate hype for the film. The Mandalorian and Grogu has grossed roughly $344 million at the global box office at the time of writing, and it’s poised to finish its run as the lowest-grossing Star Wars movie in history, with even fewer earnings than Solo: A Star Wars Story. The film has begun to seek redemption on VOD, as it was added to platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV this week and has immediately jumped into the top 10 in more than 50 countries worldwide.
Collider Exclusive · Star Wars Quiz Which Force User Are You? Light Side · Dark Side · Or Somewhere Between
The Force is not a binary. It is a spectrum — from the serene halls of the Jedi Temple to the shadowed corridors of Sith space. Ten questions will reveal where you truly fall. The Force has always known. Now you will too.
🔵Jedi Master
🟡Padawan
🔴Sith Lord
⚫Inquisitor
⚪Grey Jedi
01
What is the Force to you? Your relationship with the Force defines everything else.
02
When you feel strong emotions — anger, grief, love — what do you do? The Jedi suppress. The Sith feed. Others choose differently.
03
The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You: How you handle authority reveals your alignment.
04
You are offered forbidden knowledge that could give you enormous power. The cost is crossing a moral line. You: The dark side’s pull is never more than a choice away.
05
Your approach to training and learning is: A student’s habits become a master’s character.
06
In a duel, your lightsaber fighting style reflects: Combat is the purest expression of a Force user’s philosophy.
07
A defeated enemy lies at your feet, powerless. You: Mercy — or its absence — is the truest test of alignment.
08
The Jedi Code forbids attachment. Your honest view on love and bonds: The source of the greatest falls in the galaxy.
09
Why do you use the Force at all? What’s the point? Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon.
10
At the final moment — light side or dark side pulling at you — what wins? In the end, every Force user faces this moment. What does yours look like?
Your Alignment Has Been Determined Your Place in the Force
The scores below reveal how the Force sees you. Your highest number is your true alignment. Read on to understand what that means — and what it will cost you.
🔵 Jedi Master
🟡 Padawan
🔴 Sith Lord
⚫ Inquisitor
⚪ Grey Jedi
Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.
You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn’t whether you have what it takes — it’s whether you’ll be patient enough to find out.
You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side’s cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.
You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.
You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don’t fully trust you. The Sith think you’re wasting your potential. They’re both partially right. But so are you.
When Does The Next Star Wars Movie Come Out?
The next Star Wars movie, Starfighter, will be released in theaters on May 28, 2027, almost exactly one year after The Mandalorian and Grogu. Plot details about the film are being kept under wraps for now, but it’s confirmed to be a brand-new adventure set during an unexplored time in Star Wars featuring brand-new characters. Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine, The Adam Project) directed the film with a script from Jonathan Tropper (Your Friends & Neighbors). Ryan Gosling leads the ensemble for the new Star Wars film alongside Flynn Gray, Mia Goth, Amy Adams, Matt Smith, Aaron Pierre, and Daniel Ings.
