Harrison Ford's Honest Reaction To 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'
One of the riskiest things that Star Wars universe has had to overcome since the beginning with Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Return of the Jedi, is the fact that they have so much to live up to. Star Wars: A New Hope and the subsequent 2 films were revolutionary not just in the film world with new technology and ways of filming, but also with the story and characters. Sure, there had been some science fiction stories before 1977 when Star Wars: A New Hope was released. But they couldn’t hold a candle to Star Wars. It was just so unique and different and even though the story was simple and follows the traditional story arc from the beginning to the end, it is unforgettable.

Dave Filoni Continues Contributions To 'The Mandalorian'
Dave Filoni has made a name for himself in the Star Wars universe. When the 3D animated The Clone Wars premiered in 2008, very few would have predicted that he would be known as one of the best people working on Star Wars. Some view him as the guy who "gets it" since he has worked with George Lucas. After The Clone Wars got cancelled, he worked on Star Wars Rebels, which sometimes felt like a sequel series since some of the same characters from the previous show carried over. He eventually got the chance to finish The Clone Wars, and he has also become a key player in the first live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian.

Ubisoft Confuses Fans By Incorrectly Detailing What PS4 Games Will Be Playable On PS5
Ubisoft: The fifth largest publicly traded game company in Europe and America, and also in recent times, one of the most controversial and worst companies in the video games industry. Involved in several lawsuits, as well as numerous instances of sexual misconduct, sexism, employee abuse and toxic workplace culture, Ubisoft has had a bad rap and is regarded mostly with disgust and contempt. Often filling their games with mindless grind and pointless filler, such as finding feathers in Assassin's Creed II, Ubisoft's latest blunder is incorrectly naming PS4 games that won't work on the PS5.

Disney+ Confirms Rosario Dawson As Ahsoka Tano
The Star Wars universe has many great characters. Ahsoka Tano is definitely one of them. Originally an annoying, whining brat apprentice to Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars TV show, she quickly matured into one of the best developed female characters of Star Wars, and a fan favorite. Featured primarily in The Clone Wars and Rebels, it has long been wondered if she would ever make a live action appearance. Now that The Mandalorian is in full swing, it has now been confirmed that not only will Ahsoka Tano be guest starring in season 2, but she will be portrayed by amazing actress Rosario Dawson.

Timelines Cross In The Forcetastic LEGO Holiday Special Trailer
The Star Wars Holiday Special is bad. Even if you are of the belief that there is no "objective good" or "objective bad," it is a very common sentiment that the original special from November 17, 1978. So when it was announced that Disney+ would be releasing The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, some fans on the internet acted like the sky was falling because the original holiday special left a sour taste in their mouths. However, the announcement made it clear that it was not a remake of that special, but rather a new holiday special that begins post-The Rise of Skywalker and sends Rey across the Star Wars timeline. Given that this will be in the form of Lego, this sounds like a fun adventure. It is not live-action, so it can get super ridiculous in a fun way.

Has ‘Star Wars’ Retconned The Canon Boba Fett Armor Story?
Star Wars canon can be a tricky topic. In April 2014, about a year and a half after Disney bought Lucasfilm, the franchise did a reboot of sorts, assigning the Legends label to the Expanded Universe and trying to make books, comics, and video games going forward as canon as the films and the shows. Before this, Star Wars had a tiered system, though that system was sometimes controversial when it came to contradictions, particularly when The Clone Wars TV series stomped over some of the Clone Wars lore that had already been established prior.
