The Enloe Trials Photonovel Series Update
The Enloe Trials Photonovel Series will be returning with multiple all-new chapters planned for release 2026.

Disney Store has revised the droid name designations for two of the upcoming Droid Factory releases. Originally, the copper protocol droid was named CW-24, now it is CU-28* and the pink astromech was QT-K2, now it’s QT-KT.
*Not sure if it was intentional or again another oversight but CU 29 is the listing for the element Copper on the periodic table.
Thank to Corey from Disney Star Wars Droid Factory FB group for the alert.
