For the first time in seven years, Star Wars fans returned to theaters this year to celebrate the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu. The spin-off/sequel film stars Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver, and it acts as a direct continuation of the first three seasons of The Mandalorian, which are now streaming on Disney+. Before that, Star Wars fans were treated to the highest-rated project in franchise history with the premiere of Maul — Shadow Lord, the animated Disney Plus series starring Sam Witwer. There was so little doubt that the show was going to be a smash hit that it was picked up for Season 2 before its premiere. Looking forward, Star Wars fans have the first Visions spin-off, The Ninth Jedi, which will begin streaming this August, as confirmed by the first trailer.
One of the first Star Wars projects coming next year to be excited about is Ahsoka Season 2, but that’s not all the franchise has to offer in 2027. This morning, Star Wars announced a breathtaking new interactive exhibit, Star Wars: The Experience — A Journey Through the Galaxy, coming to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in February 2027. This new exhibit will allow attendees to experience an extraordinary collection of more than 70 different artifacts from various eras of the franchise, including many that were used in movies and TV shows and are now being displayed for the first time. This new exhibit is being put up as part of a much larger celebration of fifty years of the Star Wars franchise, after the first movie launched all the way back in 1977.
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.
What Will Be on Display at the New Star Wars Exhibit?
The official announcement of the new Star Wars exhibit coming to the Franklin Institute also included a more detailed description of what will be on display, which reads as follows:
“The all-new exhibition spans 18,000 square feet of visually rich, interconnected galleries, featuring large immersive moments, screen-used artifacts, and an RFID-powered experience for an interactive, personalized, and cinematic journey into the creative force behind Star Wars. It presents an extraordinary collection of more than 70 artifacts, many of them screen-used and on view for the first time from the Lucasfilm archives, including legendary screen-used pieces such as Darth Maul’s lightsaber and Darth Vader’s costume. A selection of creatures, droids, and other alien species, including Grogu, R2-D2, and C-3PO, will be visible up close, along with a speeder bike, and original props from Andor.”
Star Wars fans will also have another movie to see on the big screen next year with Starfighter, the new film written by Jonathan Tropper and directed by Shawn Levy. Ryan Gosling leads the ensemble for Star Wars: Starfighter, which also stars Amy Adams, Mia Goth, Matt Smith, Aaron Pierre, and Daniel Ings.
Star Wars: The Experience — A Journey Through the Galaxy opens next February. Stay tuned to Collider for more Star Wars updates and coverage.
