The Prophecy Of The Chosen One In 'Star Wars' Explained
The prophecy of the ‘Chosen One” is the key component of the Star Wars saga, and more specifically, the prequel trilogy. The ancient prophecy, made by an ancient Jedi mystic, was interpreted to state that the Chosen One would restore balance to the force by destroying the Sith. In The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon identifies Anakin as the Chosen One through his unprecedented midi-chlorian count and subsequently displayed inherent strength in the Force. But given the original trilogy and sequel trilogy, is Anakin still viewed as the Chosen One, given his fall to the darkness and Rey’s later ascendance to eliminate the remaining Sith?

The Most Strange and Disturbing Things in ‘Star Wars’. Top Story - June 2021.
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.” Lord Vader’s famous line from A New Hope shows the Sith Lord’s disdain for Admiral Motti’s unwillingness to believe in the power of the Force. However, this is by far not the only thing that was disturbing in the galaxy far, far away. For movies that are more or less modern fairy tales marketed primarily towards kids and young adults, they actually do contain quite a few things that are either strange or disturbing or both.

What Anakin Would Have Looked Like If He Didn't Turn To The Dark Side
As we've mentioned in some of our previous articles, you'd be hard pushed to find a bigger and more passionate fanbase than that of Star Wars. The franchise spans several decades and continues to provide more and more stories expanding on the universe originally created by George Lucas. Throughout all nine films in the Skywalker saga, we meet a vast amount of interesting characters who we fell in love with or even hated. Fans will forever disagree on certain elements, as any fanbase for anything does, but one thing they excel at, is coming up with new thoughts and theories based on seemingly random pieces of dialogue or events throughout the entire franchise.

The Reason Jabba The Hutt Knew Leia's Rescue Plan
Regardless of whether or not Return of the Jedi is your “favorite” Star Wars movie, no one can say that it was not great. So much happened in the movie. We found out that Luke and Leia are brother and sister. We met the Emperor. Vader fell, and so did the Empire. Good won and the Force was brought back into balance.

Why This Iconic 'Star Wars' Hero Should Be The Antagonist Of 'The Book of Boba Fett'
While filming for the series has finished, The Book of Boba Fett is not slated for release until approximately December 2021. The only characters confirmed to be in the show are Boba Fett (because the show is obviously about him) and Fennec Shand, who was next to him at the end of The Mandalorian season 2. Everything else is free game at this point. We do not really know the premise of the show. Will we see Boba Fett picking up where he left off in his bounty hunting career? Will he just sit at the top of Jabba the Hutt’s former crime syndicate, handing down jobs and contracts to subordinates and loosely allied bounty hunters? Will he be hands on and do the jobs himself? Will he branch out into other underworld business?
