This month on The Star Wars Show, we check out the brand new trailer for Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge and Anthony chats with Ahmed Best and Mary Holland about stepping into their new roles. Plus, E.K. Johnston stops by to chat about her upcoming book Queen’s Peril.
StarWars.com also posted about the Best and Holland’s new game show:
Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge, the new game show set in a galaxy far, far away, will soon arrive in our own.
Premiering with two full episodes on June 310, 2020, the weekly series tests young Padawans’ strength, knowledge, and bravery in a series of trials designed to discover who is capable of becoming a Jedi Knight.
The 10-episode series will debut on StarWarsKids.com and the official Star Wars Kids YouTube channel, which currently host Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures, Star Wars: The Clone Wars fun facts, craft and drawing tutorials, and several other activities for young fans.
And posted a brand new trailer:
Not to mention a new poster:
“[Becoming] Kelleran Beq, this new Jedi, what excited me the most was where the history is going to go,” said Best. “Who was he? How is he going to be a part of the Star Wars universe in a way that created these long-lasting stories.”
“I am so, so excited,” said Holland, who will play a new droid, AD-3. “What an honor.
“It’s really a dream come true.
“AD-3 is Kelleran Beq’s droid companion and she’s got a great sense of humor, and is envious of Jedi powers, because, as a droid, she has none. So she is always very aware of Kelleran Beq showing off what he can do with the Force.”
Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge premieres on StarWarsKids.com on June 3.
