'The Book Of Boba Fett' Could See The Return Of A Surprise Character
For a show that is slated to come out in about four months from now, there has been surprisingly little (official) information on The Book of Boba Fett. The cast of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which is scheduled for release in the spring of 2022, has been announced several months ago, and there has been a ton of leaked set photos from the Andor series. On the other hand, nothing like this has been revealed thus far for The Book of Boba Fett. We know that Temuera Morrison will return as the famous bounty hunter, Ming-Na Weng is going to join him as Fennec Shand, and at least some of the series’ action will take place an Tatooine. What has further been confirmed is that Jon Favreau and Dave Filioni will be working behind the cameras as writers, directors, and executive producers, together with some other people of Mandalorian fame like Bryce Dallas Howard and Robert Rodriguez.

Tom Holland Posts Cryptic Instagram Message After 'No Way Home' Trailer Leak
Tom Holland's third outing as Spider-Man, titled No Way Home, is easily one of, if not the most, anticipated entries into the MCU thus far. The previous entry, Far from Home, ended with a huge cliffhanger and saw the return of J K Simmons' version of J Jonah Jameson. As the years have passed since Far from Home's release, we have had a ton of rumors and confirmations as to the potential plot of the new film and have also found out that it will also see the return of many Spider-Man villains from previous iterations of the character. Most notably, Alfred Molina's return as Doctor Octopus from Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 2 and Jamie Foxx's return as Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. With it being confirmed that Phase 4 of the MCU will focus on the multiverse, fans have let their imaginations go wild as to what this could mean for potential future projects.

Top 10 Most Interesting Off Camera 'Star Wars' Stories
When the Star Wars franchise began way back in 1977, it changed the face of the industry forever. No other film up to that point was quite as revolutionary as A New Hope, and it maintains that status to this day.

Behind the scenes of the beloved series lies a plethora of interesting, and often downright bizarre, stories that led to the finished product. Here’s just a few of the most memorable moments.

All Confirmed Upcoming 'Star Wars' TV Projects
With The Bad Batch season 1 now behind us, it will probably be a long wait before we get to see season 2. By that same token, it's been quite a wait for The Mandalorian season 3, which is expected to come out next year. But even with these series being active, many people are surely eager to see the next new TV project coming from Star Wars. There are many of them to keep track of.

'The Rise of Skywalker' Was Fine, But Here’s How I’d Do It
The Rise of Skywalker was a fine movie. It may not have been the best Star Wars movie, and in spite of its flaws, it was not the worst. I think that if you changed a few beats, and some major plot points, the movie would have been better and resonated better with casual viewers as well as Star Wars fans and loyalists.

The 3 Most Underrated Arcs Of 'The Clone Wars'
As most Star Wars fans know by now, some of the best Star Wars storytelling is contained within The Clone Wars animated show. With plentiful lightsaber duels, clone vs droids firefights, political intrigue, and social commentary, there is something for everyone in this well-written and highly entertaining show. While many audiences are familiar with the most popular arcs of this show, including Umbara, the Siege of Mandalore, and the Ryloth arc, there are several exceptional stories within the show that do not receive the recognition they deserve.

The Reason Why Boba Fett's New Ship Name Actually Makes Sense
Boba Fett is, without a doubt, one of the coolest characters in Star Wars. He has been a fan favorite since his debut even though he was inevitably defeated by a blind Han Solo. With his appearance in The Mandalorian and upcoming series The Book of Boba Fett, it seems like his character is finally getting the justice he deserves. However, like most things in Star Wars, he is not without some form of controversy. In this situation, the controversy surrounds Boba Fett’s ship rather than the character himself.

Is Tarkin The REAL Main Villain Of 'A New Hope'
Darth Vader is the penultimate Star Wars villain from the original trilogy. This icon captures the imagination of kids and adults alike as he walks onto the Tantive IV. With the power of the Dark Side of the Force at his command, he is by far the most powerful villain of the film. However if one were to analyze A New Hope, one has to ask if Vader really is the main villain of the movie. Does he come up with the plans? Does he command the Death Star? Does he order the destruction of Alderaan? No, he does not. The one who does that is none other than Grand Moff Tarkin himself.

Did ‘The Bad Batch’ Just Reveal An Old Expanded Universe World?
Cloning and clones have been part of the Star Wars franchise since the beginning. Staring with the very first movie, A New Hope, both Princess Leia and Obi-Wan Kenobi obliquely mentioned a historical galactic event referred to as "the Clone Wars," that both Leia's father and Obi-Wan Kenobi were said to have fought in years before. Not many details about that event was fleshed out during the original trilogy and fans could only speculate as to the nature of that conflict and how clones were involved. However, even before Attack of the Clones was released several years ago, Star Wars Legends returned to the topic quite a few times through various books and comics usually set post-Return of the Jedi.

It has been a little more than a week since Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 1 wrapped up. The finale left fans with mixed reception, but in any case, there is a lot of speculation regarding season 2, such as which familiar characters may pop up.
