‘The Bad Batch’ Will Release May 4th
It was around this time last year that the final season of The Clone Wars was airing on Disney+. One of the arcs of the season featured a squad of elite clone troopers known as The Bad Batch. Some predicted that the characters would get their own spin-off series, and that was confirmed months later. Since then, we have seen a trailer showing that the series will begin around the time that the events of Revenge of the Sith take place.

Top 10 Sith Ranked by Power
Being a Sith in the Star Wars universe is a prestigious line of work, with a long and glorious tradition. However, there are several Sith who have gone beyond the traditional evils and have proven to be some of the most powerful beings in the galaxy. That being said, and before I get into the list, I want to take a second to explain the logic I took to this list. Originally, I wanted to comprise this list of only canon Sith lords. However, the canon ones I found I didn’t agree were worthy enough of being on the “Most Powerful” list. Instead, I am going to add the Sith that are “loosely” canon, with a focus on the ones that are canon, and I will add a few that I think have the most potential to become canon. That being said, here is the top Sith based on power.

This Mystery From 'The Phantom Menace' Took Almost A Decade To Explain
To say The Phantom Menace left us with a few unanswered questions is an understatement. Over 20 years later and we're still chasing answers. The film has been run over with a fine tooth comb since it was still in cinemas, and questions have even been formed about the smallest throwaway lines. There is one particular line where a young Anakin Skywalker first sets eyes on our then Queen of Naboo, Padme Amidala, and he asks her if she's an angel. While most people wrote it off as a throwaway line from a young, lovestruck child, some dove a little deeper into what it meant.

Ewan McGregor Showing Off Muscle Gains for 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series
When Obi-Wan Kenobi brought a baby Luke Skywalker to the Lars family homestead on Tatooine, he stayed in hiding nearby to keep watch over the future Jedi. For nineteen years he waited in the Jundland Wastes, becoming “Old Ben” Kenobi. We know from Uncle Owen’s comments in A New Hope and a glimpse at his life in the Marvel Star Wars comic series that in that timeframe he gained Lars’ distrust, and not much else. We will see more in the upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, but haven’t you wondered what else Obi-Wan got up to with all of that free time on his hands? After a recent Instagram post, wonder no further. Obi-Wan got swole.

When 'Star Wars' Showed General Grievous' Face And His Connection To The Force In Canon
One of the greatest Star Wars villains is General Grievous, the Separatist cyborg who collects lightsabers from the Jedi he killed for sport. He has quite a collection of lightsabers and has become a meme multiple times thanks to Star Wars. He is killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi via blaster in Revenge of the Sith. He has also been a part of the comics as well, appearing in one of his greatest in-canon stories: Star Wars: The Age of the Republic – General Grievous. This comic is a one-shot written by Jodie Houser and Luke Ross.

The 'Star Wars: Episode VII' We Never Got
According to Mark Hamill, the first time that he and George Lucas talked about Star Wars: Episode VII was in 1976, while shooting Star Wars in the Tunisian desert. Lucas told him then that he was planning on doing a grand total of four separate trilogies in the Star Wars universe. When Lucas asked about reprising his roll in Episode VII, Hamill obviously wanted to know what that would entail. Lucas told him "you'll be like Obi-Wan, handing the lightsaber down to the next new hope." Hamill's follow up question was when Lucas expected to be shooting Episode VII. Lucas' simple reply was "2011." Lucas' level of creativity and foresight when it comes to the Star Wars universe is virtually unparalleled in cinema. Only recently with properties like the Marvel Cinematic Universe have studios come close to what Lucas was aiming for back in 1976. Before he sold Lucasfilm to Disney, Lucas was beginning treatments for the next installment in the Skywalker saga, successfully recruiting Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher to reprise their rolls. This Lucas sequel trilogy would also center around the Skywalker/Solo family and their quest to rebuild the Jedi Order and defend the New Republic.

New Secrets Of The Sith Have Been Revealed By Palpatine Himself
To say that Palpatine had a lot of secrets is an understatement. Whether you're looking at Senator Sheev Palpatine, Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, or Emporer Sheev Palpatine, he's always seemingly behind the scenes manipulating everyone to get his own way for his own mysterious gains we rarely ever find out about directly. Whether you're looking at the films, the shows, the books, both canon and Legends, Palpatine being a mastermind behind the scenes is a constant for more years than his age would lead you to believe. When we were past six movies and looking on, we assumed we'd reached the end of Palpatine's schemes, only for The Rise of Skywalker to open up the can of worms all over again and reveal that the Sith had likely millions of secrets for us left to uncover that we don't know yet.

Temuera Morrison Gives Update On 'The Book Of Boba Fett'
One of the biggest surprises to come out of The Mandalorian season 2 was the return of Boba Fett, portrayed by Temuera Morrison both vocally and physically. He had portrayed Boba Fett's father Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones and provided Boba Fett voice work for the 2004 re-release of The Empire Strikes Back since Boba is a clone of Jango. So it makes complete sense that he would portray Boba Fett in the TV show. Even when he appeared at the end of the season premiere, some expected that he would not appear again in the season. But lo and behold, we saw him get an action-packed return and even play an essential part toward the end of the season, aiding Din Djarin and company in the rescue of Grogu. And then we were given a post-credit scene in which Boba Fett and Fennec Shand take what's left of Jabba's palace, culminating in the reveal of a title: The Book of Boba Fett.
