With Star Wars: The Last Jedi having been released in 2017, the last installment of the Skywalker saga will not be arriving in theaters until the end of 2019.

To fill that gap, this episode presents a trio of exceptional, unofficial Star Wars short films that honors and celebrates the best aspects of the franchise.

HOSHINO

HOSHINO is the story of how a gifted, though headstrong and impetuous, padawan transforms into a formidable Jedi Master.

KARA

In KARA, it is early in the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. A young woman and her father are attempting to make a perilous journey across an alien desert in order to reach the safety of a rebel base. During their flight, they are caught in a hostile battle between a downed X-Wing fighter pilot and a squad of stormtroopers. In the heat of battle, the titular Kara reveals a closely kept secret that could turn the tide of the war in favor of the rebellion.

DARK LEGACY: A Star Wars Story

DARK LEGACY is set on a dark and desolate planet, where a young woman must face a terrible crucible in order to gain her freedom and become a dark lord of the Sith.
