Star Wars fans have been riding high this year thanks to the release of the franchise’s first Disney+ project of 2026, Maul – Shadow Lord. The show aired its final two episodes of Season 1 earlier this week, but it’s already been picked up for a second season, and star Sam Witwer has confirmed that the wait for Season 2 won’t be too long. Star Wars fans are also waiting on pins and needles to learn the first official details about Ahsoka Season 2, which is expected to be released at some point this year, though that has not been officially confirmed. It’s quickly approaching three years since the first season of Ahsoka premiered on Disney+, but demand for the show’s return is as high as it has ever been. This can at least partially be credited to Hayden Christensen's continued returnas Anakin Skywalker.

However, the biggest thing Star Wars fans have to look forward to this year is the franchise’s long-awaited return to the big screen with The Mandalorian and Grogu. The Mandalorian continuation film is the first Star Wars movie to be released in theaters in seven years, since The Rise of Skywalker ended the Skywalker saga all the way back in 2019. Before The Mandalorian and Grogu jumps into theaters around the world on May 22, Star Wars has released a new sneak peek at the film, which is now streaming on Disney+. Mere weeks after the original Mandalorian series charted back into the top 10 on Disney’s go-to streaming platform, the special look at the new movie is officially #2 on global streaming charts with two weeks to go until it arrives in theaters.

COLLIDER. Collider · Quiz

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

IGNITE YOUR SABER →

QUESTION 1 / 10THE FORCE

01 What is the Force to you? Your relationship with the Force defines everything else.

AA living energy I must be worthy of — it is not mine to control. BSomething vast and mysterious I'm only beginning to understand. CNeither light nor dark — just a current I choose to ride. DPower. Pure and simple. The strong take it; the weak don't.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 2 / 10EMOTION

02 When you feel strong emotions — anger, grief, love — what do you do? The Jedi suppress. The Sith feed. Others choose differently.

AAcknowledge them, then release them. Attachment leads to suffering. BFeel them fully, then decide what to do — they're not the enemy. CBury them. Emotion is a liability I can't afford to indulge. DUse them. Passion is the engine of the dark side for good reason.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 3 / 10AUTHORITY

03 The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You: How you handle authority reveals your alignment.

AFollow it. The Council's wisdom surpasses my own perspective. BVoice my objection clearly, then defer to the decision. CComply outwardly while doing what I think is right. DIgnore it. The strong don't answer to committees.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 4 / 10TEMPTATION

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.

ARefuse without hesitation. There is no cost worth that price. BWeigh it carefully — sometimes darkness holds real answers. CFeel the pull but walk away — for now. DAccept it. Power justifies the method used to obtain it.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 5 / 10TRAINING

05 Your approach to training and learning is: A student's habits become a master's character.

ADedicated but humble. There is always more to learn from my masters. BRigorous and patient. Mastery is earned through years of discipline. CEclectic — I draw from every tradition, not just one. DRelentless and brutal. Pain accelerates growth. Rest is weakness.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 6 / 10COMBAT

06 In a duel, your lightsaber fighting style reflects: Combat is the purest expression of a Force user's philosophy.

ADefense and composure — I wait for my opponent to overcommit. BFast and instinctive — I trust the Force to guide my movements. CUnpredictable — I blend styles to keep enemies off-balance. DOverwhelming aggression — I end fights before they begin.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 7 / 10COMPASSION

07 A defeated enemy lies at your feet, powerless. You: Mercy — or its absence — is the truest test of alignment.

AStrike them down — compassion toward enemies is naïve and costly. BNeutralize them permanently. I can't afford loose ends. CSpare them if I can — but stay clear-eyed about the risks. DOffer them a chance to surrender. Every being deserves that.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 8 / 10ATTACHMENT

08 The Jedi Code forbids attachment. Your honest view on love and bonds: The source of the greatest falls in the galaxy.

AThe Code is right. Attachment clouds judgment and invites suffering. BLove is not a weakness — the Jedi Code got this one wrong. CI have no attachment — only loyalty to my master's mission. DI feel it deeply but struggle to reconcile it with my training.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 9 / 10PURPOSE

09 Why do you use the Force at all? What's the point? Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon.

ATo learn. I'm still figuring out what I'm capable of. BTo protect and serve. The Force is a responsibility, not a gift. CTo survive — and maybe carve out something worth having. DTo dominate. Strength demands to be expressed, not contained.

NEXT QUESTION →

QUESTION 10 / 10THE CHOICE

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?

AThe light. I choose peace, even when darkness would be easier. BNeither fully — I carve my own path through the middle. CWhoever I serve — my loyalty defines me more than my morality. DThe dark. Power is the only thing that's ever actually been real.

REVEAL MY ALIGNMENT →

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

JEDI MASTER

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.

PADAWAN

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.

SITH LORD

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.

INQUISITOR

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.

GREY JEDI

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.

Do You Need To Watch ‘The Mandalorian’ Before ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’?

While it’s not explicitly required, fans would benefit from watching all three seasons of The Mandalorian on Disney+** before heading to the theater to watch The Mandalorian and Grogu. While some first reactions to the first 25 minutes of the film praise its accessibility for newcomers, the movie is still a direct continuation of the series, meaning there are sure to be references for fans of the show. A full watch of The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka also couldn’t hurt, but The Mandalorian should be the priority to catch up on before The Mandalorian and Grogu. Major cast members for the film include Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward, Martin Scorsese as an Ardennian Fry Cook, Steve Blum as Zeb Orellios, and Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt.

Check out the new sneak peek at The Mandalorian and Grogu on Disney+ and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the film.
