Star Wars: Tales from Galaxy's Edge Gameplay Review
As of today, we now have several Star Wars titles that allow us to take part in that galaxy so far, far away. Vader Immortal is the more straightforward adventure title, putting you into the shoes of a character and experiencing more of an interactive movie experience. Star Wars Squadrons puts you in the cockpit of your favorite New Republic or Imperial ships to live out your dreams of dodging laser blasts and taking down Star Destroyers. And now in the latest title, Star Wars Tales From Galaxy's Edge, we're given a more open experience to explore. Not quite the open world I was expecting but more freedom than the aforementioned Vader Immortal.

The Real Reason Baby Yoda's Name Is Not "Baby Yoda" In 'The Mandalorian'
In this day and age, it's hard to find someone who hasn't heard the name Baby Yoda. More than likely, you're going to get a rather positive reaction to the little green alien when you mention the name. Those who aren't as familiar with The Mandalorian as the more dedicated Star Wars fans are will be surprised to never hear the name once at all, it won't even be printed on any merchandise. Many fans are already aware of the discrepancy and why it's there, but if you were wondering why he's not called Baby Yoda, then you won't have that question any longer.

The Darksaber Lightsaber Has Been 2020’s MOST HATED Toy Of The Year
The Darksaber has become an iconic weapon in the Star Wars universe. First introduced in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, nobody back then could have guessed that it would end up on the first live-action Star Wars TV series, The Mandalorian (after it had appeared again on Star Wars Rebels). It is a lightsaber with its own lore and history by this point. Strong characters have wielded it thus far. When Moff Gideon emerged from the TIE Fighter wielding it, even casual fans of the franchise could tell that this was a dangerous weapon. Well, shoppers may want to keep that in mind as they consider Star Wars themed gifts to acquire.

If You Haven’t Picked Up This Adorable Baby Yoda Chia Pet What Are You Even Doing?
The Mandalorian does something to people. It brings them back to a time when it seemed that Star Wars could (mostly) do no wrong. Arguably, it does a better job playing with the toys of the original trilogy than other recent releases have. This is thanks, in part, to its loveable characters, the most universally loved being The Child, known by many fans as "Baby Yoda." Thanks to this little fellow, there is a lot of merch, some of which harkens back to the 1990s. Perhaps you have heard the following familiar words from those good old commercials: "Cha cha cha chia!"

How To Buy Baby Yoda's Space Macarons
The Mandalorian, or "The Baby Yoda Show" as I am sure some viewers may call it, has depicted a lot of memorable moments for The Child. His introduction alone was a mindblowing reveal that was totally unexpected by viewers on day one of the series. Since then, we have seen him eat a frog, Frog Lady's eggs, and now some "space macarons."

Daisy Ridley Speaks On Baby Yoda Egg Incident
When it comes to the Star Wars franchise and its fandom, it seems like a miracle these days when fans generally agree on one thing. The Mandalorian has been perceived as such. It has long been a crowd pleaser for the fandom, and even casual viewers. But the longer that a Star Wars story lasts, the more likely it is to introduce something that may be off-putting to some fans.
