“The Galaxy needs racing!” Check out this first look trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer launching to play in 2026. Sometimes we break our own rules and post trailers for video games – this new one also comes from The Game Awards. When I was growing up, I was a huge fan of the N64 game Star Wars Episode I: Racer, featuring pod racing from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (both released the same year in 1999). So I will admit that I am kinda excited to see that 27 years later they’re bringing back racing to the Star Wars universe with this brand new game arriving next year. Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy. The campaign is set in the New Republic Era and takes place on the desert planet Jakku as seen in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. With the Empire gone and the galaxy rebuilding, The Galactic League is formed: an underground, unsanctioned circuit where syndicates bankroll chaos and champions are forged. This looks like it’s going to be plenty of fun to play – maybe there will even be a podrace in it somewhere as hinted at with the final shot.

Here’s the first official trailer for Fuse Games’s game Star Wars: Galactic Racer, from YouTube:

“No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.” Lucasfilm Games’ Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the Outer Rim. With the Empire gone and the galaxy rebuilding, The Galactic League is created: an underground, unsanctioned circuit where syndicates bankroll chaos and champions are forged. At the heart of it all is Shade, a lone racer with a dream of glory and revenge. For Shade, the League isn’t just a race; it’s a shot at reclaiming destiny. But standing in Shade’s way is Kestar, a ruthless rival who has his own power-hungry plans for the League. As the Galactic League rises, so does the rivalry that could define it. Shade must forge alliances, outpace rivals, and survive long enough to become an elite racing pilot. Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a racing video game created & developed by Fuse Games; published by Secret Mode and Lucasfilm Games. The game will be available for PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S when it launches sometimes in 2026. Stay tuned for updates.

Every era of Star Wars has pushed boundaries, but Visions has been something else entirely. When the first season launched in 2021, it wasn’t just another addition to the galaxy’s ever-expanding canon, it was an invitation. Lucasfilm handed the keys of its most treasured universe to creators across the globe and asked them to dream. The result was bold, risky, and unlike anything fans had seen before. Now, with Star Wars: Visions Season 3 arriving on Disney+ October 29, 2025, that invitation feels even more urgent. This is where Star Wars isn’t just retold, it’s reimagined.

This season carries forward the DNA of Visions: daring, self-contained stories that bend form while staying rooted in the saga’s eternal themes of destiny, hope, and rebellion. Executive producers Jacqui Lopez, Josh Rimes, and James Waugh once again oversee the anthology, but the brilliance lies in the hands of the global filmmakers, from Asia to Europe, Latin America to India, who transform Star Wars into something personal and universal all at once.

Animation is more than a tool here, it’s the heartbeat. Each short feels like an experiment in style and storytelling: some drawn by hand with painterly textures, some breaking the limits of CGI, others blending aesthetics in ways that redefine what Star Wars can look like. Where George Lucas once pushed special effects to create new worlds, these filmmakers now push cultural identity and artistry into the franchise, proving the Force belongs to everyone.

While casting details remain guarded, past seasons have shown how wide the reach can be. Performers like Lucy Liu, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Alison Brie, and Neil Patrick Harris lent their voices alongside local talents, striking a balance between Hollywood presence and authentic global storytelling. Season 3 is poised to expand that tradition, amplifying voices that might otherwise never echo in a galaxy so familiar to fans.

And that is perhaps the real beauty of Visions. In a franchise often tied down by canon, timelines, and fan debates, this anthology is free. It is Star Wars unshackled, a place where myths, cultures, and animation techniques collide. For those who grew up with the saga and those discovering it through streaming marathons, TikTok clips, or fandom chatter, Visions offers the same promise: a chance to rediscover the galaxy with new eyes.

As Star Wars: Visions Season 3 streams between October 29, 2025 and January 29, 2026, it’s more than just another release on Disney+. It’s a reminder that stories live longest when they are shared, reshaped, and retold through many voices. In an entertainment landscape where big franchises often cling to safety, Visions dares to be fearless. And that’s why, almost half a century after Luke first looked at the twin suns, the galaxy far, far away still feels infinite.
