Star Wars fans were shocked to see Luke Skywalker return in the Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian. The Jedi’s look, who was in his late 20s at the time of The Mandalorian not too long after Return of the Jedi, was created by a combination of Mark Hamill’s features and Max Lloyd-Jones’s body as a stand-in, and a lot of CGI on the end of Lucasfilm in order to create a de-aged Luke Skywalker.

One of the best things in this game (besides all the characters you can play) is the side missions! Some are ridiculous, but that is the beauty of a LEGO video game.

What Is Spice, And Why Is It So Critical In 'Star Wars'?
Since 1977 Spice has been a part of the Star Wars universe. Rumor has is that the idea of Spice in Star Wars came from Dune. But most people only recognize the name as some sort of illicit drug, not knowing quite what it is or where it comes from. Legends had explanations spanning back to the youth of The Republic, especially in the Knights Of The Old Republic series, where the ship of the character the Ebon Hawk was at one point a spice smuggler's ship. Despite all of this, Spice doesn't have a lot of in-universe lore that is easily accessible. So we decided to fix that by telling you everything you need to know about Spice.

'Star Wars: Queen's Hope' Review
*Spoilers for Star Wars: Queen's Hope* E.K. Johnston's trilogy of Star Wars novels has come to a close with Star Wars: Queen's Hope. Released earlier this year, Queen's Hope serves as the third and final installment in her series of novels focused on Padmé Amidala. While her first novel Queen's Shadow, focused on Padmé's transition from the Queen of Naboo to a Senator, and the second novel, Queen's Peril, served as a prequel to flesh out her time as Queen, Queen's Hope focuses exclusively on her early days in the Senate amidst the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Beginning with her marriage to Anakin Skywalker, the book follows Padmé as she embarks on a mission for the Republic while her royal handmaiden Sabé acts as her decoy on Coruscant. We also get interludes from the perspectives of various other characters in the story, including Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine, and Padmé's other handmaidens.

It finally served as a ticket off the desert planet, when he sold it to pay Han Solo and Chewbacca. Its role in the saga was brief but iconic. And now is officially coming out in LEGO format.
