On its blog today, Destiny 2 creator Bungie announced a price increase for its standalone season passes, which grant players access to limited-time activities and story content every three months.

Going forward, Bungie will ask Destiny 2 players to pay 20% more each season, up from 1,000 Silver (an in-game premium currency that costs real money) to 1,200 Silver — from $10 to $12 per season.

Bungie simultaneously announced it will charge 10% more for its season pass rank bundles, which speed up the process of maxing out each season’s loot-filled progress bar. This increase will see the +10 Ranks Bundle go from 2,000 Silver to 2,200 Silver (or $20 to $22).

While this will impact anyone who has been buying season passes in Destiny a la carte, the price increase does not affect those who already bought the full year of seasonal access via the deluxe version of Destiny 2: Lightfall – at least not until the next major expansion currently slated for next year: The Final Shape.

No reason was offered for the price increase, other than the developer stating, “This will be the new pricing for Season Passes in Lightfall’s year for those looking to maximize their rewards with each new Season, and we’ll be evaluating new approaches to post-lauch content in the year of The Final Shape.” Bungie also pointed to renewed investment in seasonal content: “…our teams continue to invest in crafting compelling Seasonal experiences for the year of Lightfall…”

Though the cost of seasonal content has always been very low, especially for players who buy it all up front with the annual expansion bundles, there has also been ongoing debate about the quality of that content, which often relies on repetitive activities and re-issued weapons and armor from previous expansions or iterations of Destiny. Hopefully this increased price and a pledge to invest in seasonal content means we’ll be getting 20% more out of Bungie’s live-service pipeline.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor continues the legend of Cal Kestis, intertwining his fate deeper into Star Wars lore. By the end of Jedi: Survivor’s roughly 20-hour playthrough time (per How Long to Beat), you’ll have witnessed a story that spans two eras of Star Wars and features numerous surprise twists, so we’re going to explain exactly what went down.

Keep reading below the spoiler break to know everything that happens at the end of Jedi: Survivor, and what it might mean for a potential sequel.

Warning! Spoilers for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor below, including a full breakdown of the ending and big story beats.

What Happens at the End of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor does a fun little thing where each time you think the game is going to end, it doesn’t. Instead, the final third of the game is full of twists and turns that will leave your ship spinning. So let’s jump right in.

Early on, Jedi: Survivor sets up Dagan Gera, a rogue Jedi from the High Republic era who’s been preserved for centuries in Bacta, as the game’s primary villain. His desire for revenge against the Jedi for betraying him, and the secret planet of Tanalorr, drives the main conflict of the game for the most part.

Cal, aided by a Force mirage of Santari Khri, defeats Dagan and regains the compass that will help lead him and his team to Tanalorr which they plan on using as a secret base away from the Empire’s gaze. However, this is where the game’s big twist comes in.

Bode’s Betrayal

Throughout the game, Cal is assisted by his friends including new ally Bode Akuna. Bode is a gunslinger mercenary new to the game, but it’s established that he and Cal have run various missions for the Resistance since the events of Fallen Order.

Well, it turns out Bode is not only working for the Empire as a spy for the ISB but is also a former Jedi who survived the Jedi Purge brought on by Order 66. While hiding from the Empire, Bode met an unnamed woman, fell in love, and together had a daughter named Kata. The Empire discovered Bode and killed his wife, but he struck a deal with the leader of Imperial Intelligence to work as their operative in exchange for protecting his daughter from the Inquisitors. Bode played the part, that is until he learned of Tanalorr during his adventure with Cal. While Cal wanted to use the hidden planet of Tanalorr as a secret base for the resistance, Bode saw it as a sanctuary where he could escape the Empire and live with his daughter in peace.

In a shocking twist, Bode reveals his true nature by killing Eno Cordova and stealing the compass to Tanalorr. To make matters worse, he calls in the Empire to attack Cere Junda’s hidden base on Jedha and Cere sacrifices herself to hold off Darth Vader while everyone else escapes. Cal tries to chase Bode but is defeated when Bode reveals himself to be a Force-user, complete with red lightsaber.

Cal’s Brush With the Dark Side

Reeling from Bode’s betrayal, Cal tracks him down to the ISB headquarters on Nova Garon, where he meets young Kata. However, it was a trap set by Bode to intentionally lead Cal to him and destroy the ISB..

Cal confronts ISB Chief Supervisor Denvik, the one who recruited Bode as a spy and is effectively responsible for this whole mess. Cal almost Force chokes him to death before Merrin calms him down, saying that the Empire took enough and she didn’t want to lose him too.

As Cal pursues Bode, he finds himself surrounded by over a dozen troops and, driven by his thirst for vengeance, embraces the Dark Side to tear through them. Bode manages to escape with Kara and flees to Tanalorr using the stolen compass. With an assist from Zee, Cal, Merrin, and Greez eventually find their own way to Tanalorr.

The Final Confrontation With Bode

Having both lost their own families, Cal and Merrin plan to offer Bode a chance to surrender in order to spare Kata from losing her father, but when they confront him, he refuses to see reason and attacks. When Bode gains the upper hand and begins to pummel Cal, Cal once again channels the Dark Side and uses it to defeat him. A lightsaber at his throat, Bode is given another chance to give up but instead uses it to attack once more, knocking back Kata with a Force push and Force choking Merrin. As Bode and Cal have a standoff, Bode goes to shoot, but his blaster malfunctions forcing Cal to shoot Bode twice in the chest.

What Happens to Cal, Merrin, Greez and Kata in the End?

With Dagan and Bode defeated, the crew of the Mantis have secured Tanalorr and plan to use it as a hidden base for the resistance against the Empire. Cal says they’ll use it as a sanctuary for the Hidden Path, which is what Cere would have wanted. (You’ll remember the Hidden Path from the Obi-Wan Kenobi show on Disney+, a secret underground network used to help Jedi survivors escape the Empire.) They hold a funeral for Cere, Cordova, and Bode, and they pledge to care for Kata now that she’s been robbed of her family in part due to their own actions.

Cere also appears to Cal in a vision uring him to “Guide her through the darkness,” presumably meaning Kata who just lost her father. However, it should be noted that Cere doesn’t appear as a blue Force ghost, but rather a more imminent form which is a secret Jedi tecnuqiue.

Cal and Merrin’s romantic relationship blossomed over the course of the game, and in the end, Cal says that the Jedi Order is gone and that he wants to be with Merrin now. This is a big departure from the usual stories Star Wars tells because the Jedi Code forbids attachment, but as Cal said, the Jedi and their rules are no more, so he’s free to follow his heart.

By the end of the game, Cal and Merrin essentially become foster parents to Kata, with Greez as the grumpy uncle who cooks his signature scazz steak for family dinner. Though not much is said about plans for Kata’s future, it seems a strong possibility that Cal will train her in the ways of the Jedi. When Cal first met Kata, she displayed an unusually strong sense of intuition, not unlike young Leia did in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, which hints that she is Force-sensitive like her father. If a third game in the Star Wars Jedi series materializes, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Kata as Cal’s Padawan.

Another possibility for a potential Star Wars Jedi 3 is Cal finally using Dark Side Force powers. Throughout the second game he struggled to contain his rage and often his emotions got the better of him, resulting in awesome displays of Dark Side power. It could be that the third entry is when he finally uses his aggressive feelings and lets the hate flow through him. Thus far in the series Cal has had relatively few Force powers, so this would give him a few more exciting gameplay options–top among them, Force lightning.

2023 might finally be the year where 2TB PS5 SSDs might actually be worth the upgrade. Last year, prices for 1TB PS5 SSDs averaged around $150, whereas 2TB SSDs hovered closer to $300. This year, we’re seeing 1TB SSDs trickle below the $100 price point and 2TB SSDs are under $200. The reason PS5 SSD upgrades are pricey is that you can’t use any old SSD and expect it to perform well on the PS5 console. You’ll want to pick up an PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 solid state drive with a rated 5,500MB/s read speed to match the PS5’s internal drive. That means, for better or for worse, picking a top-shelf SSD.

Note that Sony recommends a heatsink attached to your SSD. Not all SSDs listed here have pre-installed heatsinks. For the ones that do, we’ll be sure to mention it. For the ones that don’t, all you have to do is purchase your own heatsink (we recommend this one for $10) and install it yourself. It’s very easy.

For our recommended picks for PS5 SSDs, check out our Best PS5 SSDs of 2023.

WD 2TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink for $169.99

The WD Black SN850X is generally considered one of the top three fastest SSDs out there right now, and its also the most popular choice of a PS5 SSD (it’s the only brand officially licensed for the PS5 console). The SN850X is the successor to the SN850 SSD. It has newer flash chips (BiCS5 vs BiCS4) and an updated firmware, which combined offer improved sequential and random read/write speeds.

Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PS5 SSD for $131.99

Best Buy is including a free heatsink

Crucial’s newest M.2 SSD meets all the requirements for your PS5 SSD upgrade. It supports transfer speeds of up to 6,660MB/s which is well above the 5,500MB/s minimum threshold. Yes there are faster SSDs out there, but if your intention is to put this in your PS5, then that extra speed is worthless because you’re bottlenecked by the original PS5 SSD. If you’re worried about opening up your PS5 case, don’t worry it’s very easy. Crucial has an official YouTube PS5 SSD install guide to see you through the process.

Silicon Power 2TB PS5 SSD for $119.99

Includes built-in heatsink!

The Silicon Power XS70 SSD is the same price as the Crucial P5 Plus SSD, but it also includes a beefy aluminum heatsink that’s still slim enough to fit in the PS5 without obstruction. It matches the performance of the Crucial P5 Plus, the original WD Black SN850, and the Samsung 980 Pro.

Samsung 990 Pro 2TB PS5 SSD for $179.99

The fastest SSD on the market

The Samsung 990 Pro is currently one of the fastest, if not the fastest, SSDs out there and there’s a $100 price drop that makes this a competitive deal compared to other top-of-the-line SSDs. It outperforms other top-end contenders like the WD SN850X or SK Hynix Platinum P41. It might be overkill, but it’s also PS5 compatible.

SK Hynix P41 2TB SSD for $156.99

Up until the Samsung 990 Pro release, the SK Hynix Platinum P4 was considered the fastest SSD on the market. It’s also considerably less expensive than the 990 Pro. Benchmarks consistently exceed its rated specs and it performs better than other well known brands like WD and Seagate. SK Hynix might not be immediately recognizable to some people, but they are in no way a fledgeling company. SK Hynix is the world’s second-largest memory chipmaker and the world’s third-largest semiconductor company.

Solidigm P44 Pro PS5 SSD for $129.99

One of the fastest M.2 PCIe 4.0 drives on the market

The Solidigm P44 Pro is essentially a rebadged SK Hynix P41 Platinum with updated firmware. That means this is one of the fastest drives currently available. It outperforms other top tier SSDs like the WD Black SN850X or the Seagate Firecuda 530. In fact, the only SSD that can match its performance is the recently released Samsung 990 Pro, which currently costs $179.99, or $50 more. If you’re looking for ultimate high end speed on a budget, there’s nothing else that comes close to this deal right now.

Acer Predator 4TB PS5 SSD for $279.99

Whether it be for your PS5 or your PC, the Acer Predator GM700 offers both performance and storage capacity in spades. This is currently the least expensive 4TB PCIe M.2 SSD we’ve found that boasts speeds higher than the PS5 minimum requirement. It performs similarly to the Crucial P5 Plus and faster than the Samsung 980 Pro.

More PS5 SSD Deals

There may be other SSD deals out there, but these are the PS5 SSDs we’ve tried ourselves and highly recommend. They also double up as outstanding boot drives for your gaming PC, in case you don’t need additional storage for your PS5 console.

How easy is it to install the SSD?

It’s extremely easy! Removing the case cover is completely toolless. In fact, the only screw you have to remove is the one that keeps the cover for the SSD bay in place. You don’t even put it back when you’re done. Sony has a quick and easy YouTube video guide.

What if the SSD I bought doesn’t have a heatsink?

Sony recommends you install an SSD that has an attached heatsink. If the SSD you purchase doesn’t include one, it’s simple enough to buy one for about $10 on Amazon and add it yourself. Most of these heatsinks are just attached using an adhesive like thermal tape.

Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has revealed that a single line of faulty code tied to an assault rifle was responsible for a slew of audio and graphical bugs that have plagued players during the 16th season of the battle royale game.

Players started reporting the bugs soon after the launch of Season 16 after noticing missing rifle sounds, phantom particle effects, and disappearing grenades that would fail to explode, yet deal the correct amount of damage to nearby enemies. The bugs hadn’t appeared in playtesting, but after a preliminary investigation the most likely cause of the missing effects was narrowed down to a limitation in how the game’s servers parsed out effects.

According to the Reddit post describing the bug hunt, the Apex Legends servers are capable of dispatching up to 128 effect “entries” for each and every frame of gameplay. These entries can include stop/start commands for anything from weapon specific sound effects, to physics impacts, bullet tracers, and more. Any effect requests received by the server after it hit its 128 entry frame limit would be dropped, which could explain the missing sounds and FX reported by players.

The team then worked to ferret out which faulty process or asset was causing the effect overload. However, as noted in the Reddit update, each new season of Apex Legends sees the introduction of thousands of asset tweaks, and code adjustments. Finding the cause of the problem would be akin to hunting down “a needle in a haystack”.

“This left us with a complex issue that we knew was impacting our community, but was hard to reproduce despite detailed reports, had minimal leads internally, and there were no metrics to prove definitively that this limit was being hit at all,” the post read.

Eventually the team found their needle — a single line of code that was attached to the Nemesis rifle that had been introduced in Season 16. The Nemesis was created with a bespoke particle effect, which increased in intensity as the weapon was repeatedly fired.

The team discovered that each player using a nemesis was sending a “stop particle” effect request to the server for every frame that they didn’t fire the weapon, even if it was holstered. If enough players were running around with uncharged Nemesis rifles, then the onslaught of stop particle commands was enough to overwhelm the server, causing effects to be dropped.

Thankfully, the team were able to push out a fix for the issue last Tuesday, though the developers warn that the update may not have fixed every one of the FX issues that players have experienced over the course of Season 16.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has offered some kind of reassurance to fans that Starfield will hopefully launch in a better state than this week’s Xbox console exclusive, Redfall, claiming that the publisher “did a better job” in terms of assisting on development.

Discussing the development of Redfall on a new episode of the Kinda Funny Xcast, Spencer explained how acquisition of a studio that is mid-way through development of a game – as it did with both Bethesda Game Studios and Arkane Austin, working on Starfield and Redfall respectively – can be a challenge, and that Xbox needs to improve its process.

“When we acquire studios, there are games that are in development, and then there’s things that are either really early in development or not even conceived yet. I think we need to improve in engaging with games that are mid-way through production when they become part of Xbox,” he said.

“We didn’t do a good job early on in engaging Arkane Austin to really help them understand what it meant to be part of Xbox and part of first-party, and use some of our internal resources to help them move along that journey even faster. We left them to work on the game…”

Spencer went on to say that getting in on these collaboration efforts earlier is the key to better success. “But when [Xbox Game Studios head] Matt Booty [and Zenimax president] Jamie Leder sit down, I think we can engage earlier with our different studios. And I do think there’s a difference when we come in when the creative is already set on a game – and that’s not washing our hands, every game we ship from our teams is an Xbox game, so we take full responsibility for it”.

According to Spencer, Xbox “did a better job” with Starfield because the game was “earlier on in production” when Bethesda joined Microsoft. Redfall was further along in development, and so assistance was more difficult.

Nonetheless, Spencer says “We should’ve been there for [Arkane studio director] Harvey [Smith] and the team earlier. I think that’s on us. And then through the process. It’s an Unreal game, we have a bunch of studios that have done some really great work on Unreal over the years, and I think we were too late to help in that when they had certain issues”.

Arkane Austin’s previous games were built in different engines; CryEngine was used for Prey, while the id Tech-based Void Engine was used for Dishonored 2 and its follow-up, Death of the Outsider. As such, Redfall was the team’s first major project in several years to use Unreal-based technology.

Arkane’s Redfall launched earlier this week with a variety of technical bugs and poor creative decisions, something which resulted in a variety of negative reviews including IGN’s own 4/10. For more on Xbox’s reaction to the launch of Redfall, read Phil Spencer’s apology for the release and his promise that improvements will be made.

Pokémon Go developer Niantic has refuted claims that April saw the game accrue its worst monthly revenue total in five years as fans protest changes to the game’s raid system.

“We generally don’t comment on third-party estimates of our revenue as they are often incorrect, which is the case here,” said a Niantic spokesperson in an email to Eurogamer. “Our revenue so far in 2023 is up on last year.”

That response refutes a recent report from Mobilegamer.Biz, which claimed that Pokémon Go’s revenue had slumped from $42 million In March, down to just $34.7 million in the month of April, representing the app’s lowest monthly revenue since February 2018.

News of the alleged decline, and Niantic’s rebuttal, comes as Pokémon Go fans rail against changes made to the app’s raid system. Previously, the social distancing and lockdown procedures brought in to combat the COVID-19 pandemic pushed Niantic into creating remote play features for its game that allowed gamers to attend raids from the safety of their homes.

The feature was a boon to many in the community who lived in remote areas, or had disabilities that prevented easy travel. However, Niantic recently announced that from April 6, it was hiking its remote raid pass prices, and putting a cap on the number of the in-game events that players could attend each day.

The move, which was seemingly in an attempt to force players to return to pre-pandemic gameplay norms, angered many in the community, leading to a backlash.

“We don’t focus on month to month trends because they fluctuate based on major live events,” commented Niantic in relation to the effect that raid changes were having on gamer participation. “This year’s changes have already increased in-person Raiding and we’re excited to introduce exciting new features over the coming months.”

Regardless, recent events have shown that Niantic’s hit app still has the power to draw sizable crowds to its real world events, which represent another revenue steam for the developer.

Back in February a staggering 17,000 fans gatecrashed Niantic’s Las Vegas Pokémon Go tour, causing connectivity issues for those who had paid out $30 to attend the ticketed event. Operators went so far as to ask the unexpected guests to stay away from the public park in which the event was being held, “to ensure a smooth event for Sunday ticket holders”.

Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, has addressed the significant negative response to Redfall, the co-op vampire slaying FPS that recently launched to a large number of negative reviews and player disappointment.

Talking to the Kinda Funny Xcast, Spencer said that he is “upset with myself” and that he’s “gonna take full responsibility for launching a game that needs to be great.” While he acknowledged the disappointment that comes from a $70 game arriving in the condition Redfall has, he also offered support for the game’s developers, Arkane Austin, noting that he will not “push against the creative aspirations of our teams.”

Phil Spencer gets honest about Redfall: pic.twitter.com/JUoqTrlLvU

— Kinda Funny (@KindaFunnyVids) May 4, 2023

When asked for his initial response to the launch of Redfall, which dropped as an Xbox console exclusive this week, Spencer said “There’s nothing that’s more difficult for me than disappointing the Xbox community, and just kind of watch the community lose confidence [and] be disappointed.

“I’m disappointed, I’m upset with myself. I kind of revisit our process. I think back to the announcement of 60 frames-per-second, then we weren’t shipping 60 frames-per-second, that was our punch in the chin – rightfully – a couple of weeks ago.”

While Spencer admitted that “the critical response was not what we wanted”, he maintained a somewhat defensive attitude for his team at Xbox Game Studios. “One thing I’ll fight is [the idea of] what went wrong,” he said. “There’s clearly quality and execution things we can do, but one thing I won’t do is push against [the] creative aspirations of our teams.”

“I’m a huge supporter of Arkane Austin,” he said. “Their track record is awesome, I love a lot of the great games they’ve built […] This is one where the team didn’t hit their own internal goals when it launched. I think it’s maybe a little simplistic to just say ‘Hey if you would have just delayed it three months the core creative of the game would have delivered on something that was different to what it was.’”

As for Redfall’s future, Spencer said that Xbox, Bethesda, and Arkane Austin intend to continue working on improving the game, starting with the promised 60FPS patch. “The team at Arkane is taking the near-term feedback, we’re still working on the 60FPS, we have a good timeline for that, we’re committed to getting that done,” said Spencer. “And we’re gonna continue to work the game. We’ve shown a commitment to games like Sea of Thieves and Grounded to continue and go and build games.

“But I also know these games are $70, and I’m gonna take full responsibility for launching a game that needs to be great,” he conceded.

Redfall launched earlier this week to a largely negative critical and player response, with the IGN review among the most critical with a score of 4/10. It’s a notable step down for the Austin-based studio, which co-developed the beloved Dishonored series and delivered the acclaimed Prey and Prey Mooncrash before starting work on Redfall. Arkane has notably been a single player-focused company, and Redfall marks not just the studio’s first step into co-op multiplayer, but also the first significant critical miss.

Star Wars is a biggie. Not only is it really good, but there’s also tons of it. Like tons and tons. What starts as a neat little trilogy, eventually leaks into a trilogy of film trilogies, spin-off movies, TV shows, and books. And these spawn comics, audio-dramas, short stories, and even more.

IGN has put together a definitive list of every piece of canon Star Wars content to help you keep track of it all. Whether you’re brand new to Star Wars and can’t wait to explore every inch of the galaxy far, far away, or you’re a seasoned traveler looking to tick off the final few elusive stories, this is the page for you.

Let’s also make clear what we mean by canon. When Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, they essentially reset the Star Wars universe. They turned almost everything outside of the core six films into something called Legends, which takes place in a universe where the Sequel Trilogy never happened.

Everything published afterwards is categorised as canon, and (more or less) sticks to one cohesive universe. No new Legends content will be published, whereas the canon Star Wars content will likely continue to grow for years and decades to come.

Below is a list of every piece of canon Star Wars content. It can be quite overwhelming, but that’s why we’ve collected everything for you, broken it down into different categories with explainers, and provided recommendations on the best places to start. We’ve also included definite upcoming content like the Ahsoka Disney+ series (these will be listed in italics), but not untitled projects like the new Rey Skywalker film. May the Force be with you…

Every Canon Star Wars Film

Let’s start simple. The famous film series was the main Star Wars media format to not get wiped and turned into Legends when Disney took over the franchise. This means that every Star Wars film is canon, from A New Hope in 1977 to The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.

We’ve included this as an entry because there are a few sneaky films sprinkled in though, including those released as part of Disney’s now scrapped “one film every year” approach. Finally, the easy to forget film The Clone Wars which began the beloved TV series is also a canon entry. As for where to start watching, checking out the mainline Episodes in release order is probably your best bet, while a chronological run-through might be more enjoyable for a second watch.

Every Canon Star Wars TV Show

The first stop on any new Star Wars fan’s journey into the extended universe will likely be one of the several TV shows available on Disney+. Though there aren’t dozens of these to choose from yet, there is still plenty of content aimed at younger viewers, adults, those young at heart, and everywhere in between.

In fact, because even the shows aimed at younger viewers are packed full of important canon lore that feeds into other content, most of the offerings are enjoyable for all ages. The Clone Wars TV series introduces Ahsoka, for example, but she later appears in the Rebels show, in her own young adult novel, in The Mandalorian, and she’s even getting a Disney+ series all to herself.

As Ahsoka and The Clone Wars TV series were so beloved, they survived Disney’s Order 66 and made it into the canon universe despite being produced before the studio purchased Star Wars, but no other series released before 2014 is considered canon.

What better way to immerse yourself in Star Wars canon than by actually putting yourself into the galaxy far, far away by playing as one of its characters. Despite there being so many Star Wars games out there though, the canon list is surprisingly small.

Video games can take as long as films to make, if not longer, so the universe-resetting following the Disney takeover led to a slow restart for this side of things. Publisher EA also held an exclusive deal to make Star Wars games, and story-based, single player content seemingly wasn’t their priority.

The first canon game is therefore 2017’s Battlefront 2 (not to be confused with one from 2005 of the same name), because unlike its predecessor, it actually had a story campaign. There are also a couple of smaller virtual reality canon games, and space combat entry Squadrons, but it’s the Jedi series from Respawn Entertainment that provides the heftiest chunk of story content.

This is where Star Wars gets busy. Though the first canon novel was released less than 10 years ago, there are already dozens and dozens of books published, even ignoring the several adaptations and junior reader novels.

There are novels tied into the plots of films, deep backstories for characters only featured briefly in other content, and completely fresh ideas that have spawned their own multimedia sagas. If you really, really, want to get into the depths of Star Wars lore, the novels are for you.

These are published in several different categories. Adult novels are, well, novels aimed at adults, and are published with the most consistency. Then there are young adult novels, and while the writing here is slightly less complex, these are largely considered as interesting and enjoyable as the adult novels.

Finally, there are junior reader Star Wars novels. These are aimed at kids, though the ages can vary from book to book. Some are meant for middle school readers, meaning the stories can still be somewhat interesting to older readers, though adults will likely notice a significant difference between these and the adult and even young adult books.

They still contain canon lore, of course, so some readers may want to work through them to absorb every piece of Star Wars available. The reading level also allows them to be consumed in just a couple of hours, so it’s up to the individual whether they’re willing to spend the time and money.

Another brief explanation is needed for The High Republic, a novel-led saga of brand new Star Wars stories taking place around 200 years before The Phantom Menace. This is split into phases, and each phase is broken down into waves.

Each wave primarily contains one adult novel, one young adult novel, and one junior, with a few extras sprinkled in like comics, audio books, and more. The overall stories are contained within each format though, so the adult novels directly lead into each other and you don’t need to read the young adult novels to get the whole picture, for example.

Instead, the young adult novel stories just take place alongside the events of the adult novels, covering different characters in roughly the same time period. This means that if you only want to read the adult novels, that’s absolutely fine. And if this is all super confusing, just follow the publishing order of the High Republic saga.

Every Canon Star Wars Comic

Star Wars comics canon was easy to figure out when the universe was reset. Disney released a run simply titled Star Wars, and then blended it together with a Darth Vader run, and subsequently released smaller runs focused on single characters like Princess Leia, Lando, and so on.

Years on, however, and there are now dozens of different comic series and standalone graphic novels, featuring just about every established Star Wars character and a few new ones. Whether you want to read about the adventures of Han, Obi-Wan, Captain Phasma, Kylo Ren, Jabba, or any of your other favourite characters, there’s probably at least one comic run that allows that.

Our guide breaks all of these down, of course, but there are some useful things you should know to make the comic reading experience go a little bit smoother.

Some of the entries, such as the aforementioned Darth Vader run, will have years after them in brackets. This is because another Darth Vader run began after the first one wrapped, telling a new story separate from the original. We therefore say Darth Vader (2015) to indicate the run starting in 2015, and Darth Vader (2017) to indicate the run starting in 2017. You get it.

Annuals are also released for some of the longer series. These aren’t part of the regular, numbered issues but can still contribute to the run’s overall story. You can get away without reading these, but if you want to absorb absolutely every piece of the story, it’s worth checking when they fit into the main story.

Another thing non-comic readers might find confusing about delving into this side of Star Wars anon is crossover events. This is when readers are intended to read different comics from several runs to get the complete story. Don’t worry about missing out, however, as the comics tell you plainly when this is about to happen in the ‘next issue’ segment at the end of each chapter.

Finally, a single run from before the Disney reset is considered canon. A four-part comic called Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir was published by Dark Horse in 2014, but was based on content scrapped from The Clone Wars TV series and therefore fit with Star Wars canon. Disney made it official in 2017 when Marvel republished the book under its banner.

We’ve separated the below list to indicate comics aimed at younger readers (that would likely still be fun for adults), alongside smaller comic runs that appeared as part of other media, and another list exists for comic adpatations of the films and TV shows. What you’ll see first, however, is every mainline Star Wars comic that further expands the canon universe. The run name is followed by the number of issues (and number of annuals where applicable) followed by the date issue one was published.

Finally, there are Star Wars short stories sprinkled throughout various other media. These are most commonly featured in the Star Wars Insider magazine, though have also appeared on websites as part of promotional campaigns, packaged in special editions of some novels, and so on.

There are some books made up entirely of short stories too, but we’ve listed these in the novels section for simplicity, and any short story appearing in one of these dedicated collections won’t appear in the below list.

And that’s it! As you can see there is a lot of Star Wars content to consume, and something for absolutely everyone whether you like TV, novels, comics, or whatever else. And within each section there’s probably a dozen choices of your favourite characters or storylines to get into.

Hopefully our guide will help you figure out where to start and act as a checklist for those looking to tick off every single canon release. It’s also just about 10 years into the canon universe, and we all know Star Wars is going nowhere, so you can imagine how much the galaxy will expand over the next few years and decades.

On that note, it’s also worth remembering that new content is released all the time, especially on the comics front. This list is therefore accurate as of May 4, 2023, and while we’ll continue to update it regularly, it will almost immediately be a tad out of date.
