Why Does Darth Vader Seem So Much More Powerful In 'Rogue One' Than In 'A New Hope?'
People love Darth Vader. And people love lightsaber fights. Some especially love when these two things combined result in them saying, "Oh my gosh! Vader is freakin' sick! What a total badass!" But I digress. What this article is really addressing is the different depictions of Darth Vader's fighting styles in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, which take place consecutively in that order.

Mark Hamill Has Joined TikTok, And It May Not Last That Long
TikTok is one of the biggest social media apps for people across the country and the globe. Mark Hamill is one of the greatest actors and beloved icon for people around the world. These two things may sound like polar opposites, but they have gotten closer than you might expect. Recently, Mark Hamill went on social media and informed fans of a fake TikTok account that was pretending to be him. Hamill wanted to warn fans that he was not on the app at that time. This is fairly common amongst celebrities and creators who have a large involved social media presence. They try to inform their fans of platforms they aren’t on or people posing as them in order to warn the fans of potential scams. However, Hamill’s stance appears to have changed, because he now has an official TikTok account.

'Star Wars' Finally Reveals One Of The Biggest Secrets From 'Rogue One' In The Newest 'Bad Batch' Episode
The neat thing about the Star Wars universe is that it is a complete mixture of movies, TV series (animated and live-action), and books. And this mixture all ends up fitting together into one big story. One storyline that may be presented in a film may also show up in one of the books or TV series. In the case of episode 3 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch on Disney+, it is in fact, finally filling in a mystery that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story left us with.

Luke Skywalker's INSANE Training Routine After 'Empire'
Luke Skywalker’s way of becoming a Jedi Knight was quite different from that of his predecessors. For “a thousand generations” younglings got to train together in the Jedi Temple under the tutelage of wise Jedi Knights and Masters, who could hope to be chosen as Padawans later on and go on various missions with their Masters across the galaxy, until they passed their trials and became Knights as well. All in all, Jedi training took far more than a decade, sometimes nearly two, and all Jedi had the possibility to go back to the Temple anytime to continue their studies and their training.

This Character Could Fit Perfectly In 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
At the end of The Mandalorian Season 2, we saw Grogu leaving with Luke Skywalker, seemingly out of Din Djarin’s life forever. Boba Fett returned to rule Jabba the Hutt’s former crime syndicate with Fennec Shand at his side. The plot for Season 3 and the spinoff The Book of Boba Fett remained open. What is Din Djarin’s next move post-Grogu? What is Bo Katan’s response to Din Djarin being the rightful owner of the Darksaber. What shenanigans can Boba Fett whip up out of his new base at Jabba’s palace? This character from Star Wars Legends would fit perfectly into the timeline of both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

5 Things That Don't Make Sense About Princess Leia
This week, I was asked to pen an article about ten things that don't make sense about Princess Leia, which I have found to be an exceedingly difficult task, especially when I am really only familiar with her role in eight of the Star Wars films and some of Legends materials. However, it looks like I am only getting halfway there. It is entirely possible that, since I haven't read a lot of the comics or Canon books, including novelizations, there may be answers to some of my questions there, so please just bear with me. Also, there will be spoilers for several movies. So here is my list, in no particular order, of five things that don't make sense about our favorite "Space Mom," Princess Leia.

Order 66 Neurologically Damaged the Clones. Why The Empire REALLY Replaced The Clones
The rise of the clone troopers is very well documented in the Star Wars saga. In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, we learned that a mysterious Jedi Sifo-Dyas commissioned the Kaminoans to build and train a massive clone army to be used as the standing army for the Republic. Star Wars: The Clone Wars series depict the clone troopers in action as they travel to combat zones to fight the droids of the Separatist. With Star Wars: The Bad Batch, we will see how they fare in the time after they have executed Order 66 and destroy almost all the Jedi, which we can argue is their real purpose for existence.

Disney Characters Who Could Be Jedi (or Sith) in the Star Wars Universe
Disney officially acquired Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise back in October 2012. We all know it was only a matter of time before the move occurred. Afterall, Disney and Star Wars had intertwined ever since 1987 when the simulator ride Star Tours opened in Disneyland (Even though Disney and George Lucas had collaborated earlier in 1986 with the 3-D Captain EO).
