Construction Has Started At Disney's Star Wars Themed Hotel
Although 2020 has not been very kind to all of us, setting back almost every plan we had due to the pandemic, which also caused the delay of many attractions and developments. However, about a month ago, Disney confirmed that they will move forward with the Star Wars hotel and that it may open soon. According to a press release from December, the Star Wars hotel will be open sometime in 2021 as it is called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. A theme luxury hotel built near Disney’s Hollywood Studios, in the Epcot Resort Area of the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. A representative at The Walt Disney Company did not respond to Fox News’ request to comment for a direct answer whether Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will open in 2021.

Fan Favorite Cal Kestis' Lightsaber Is Coming to Galaxy's Edge
Of all of the Star Wars video games to come out in recent years, none have been as beloved as last year's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It is the first Star Wars game to actually feel like a complete, immersive Star Wars game since the original Battlefront II, in my opinion. The recent Battlefront games have received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike for its microtransactions. Jedi: Fallen Order was a mega hit, and likely paved the way for Disney to feel comfortable releasing Star Wars: Squadrons. It showed that people could truly love Star Wars games again. With more DLC for the game and a sequel likely in the works, fans will hopefully get more of what they loved about the original game.

Obi-Wan Actually Hid Luke From The Rebellion Not The Empire
Many Star Wars fans know the classic story: Skywalker twins are born, they are separated to be hidden from the Emperor, and Ben Kenobi watches over one of them (Luke). There is no doubt that they were to be hidden from the Empire. Ben Kenobi says as much in Return of the Jedi, and we see this play out at the end of Revenge of the Sith. However, a recent theory presents an interesting possibility.

Why Palpatine Didn't Taken On Another Apprentice After ROTJ
There are several things that have confused or annoyed fans with the new Star Wars sequels, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker. But one in particular is that it is never fully explained what happened with the whole Palpatine/Snoke storyline. Fans had many questions surrounding it, such as who Snoke was exactly, or how Palpatine survived the end of Return of the Jedi. One of the questions, why Palpatine never actually took another apprentice after Return of the Jedi, is finally answered in a section of The Star Wars Book.

There Is A 'Mandalorian' Movie Possibly In Development
The Mandalorian has been so successful that it has united much of the Star Wars fandom after a few divisive films. In terms of the visuals, the quality of the series is comparable to what one might see on the big screen. With that in mind, there may be some who would love to see a film spin off of the series and onto the big screen. In fact, series creator Jon Favreau himself seems open to the idea, saying that

Snoke's Origins Revealed In New 'Star Wars' Book
There are many elements of the Star Wars sequel trilogy that proved to be divisive. One of them was the use of Supreme Leader Snoke. Introduced in The Force Awakens, his presence gave off a vibe that there was a lot more to him. Over the next couple of years, some fans came up with wild theories as to who he was. A popular one was that he was Darth Plagueis. A ridiculous one was that he was Mace Windu. And when the Aftermath novel trilogy was coming out, some (myself included) thought that Gallius Rax would turn out to be Snoke, and were disappointed when Gallius Rax turned out to not be as big of a deal as expected.

'The Mandalorian' Season 3 Due To Start Filming By Year's End
The Mandalorian season 2 is premiering on October 30, which is not too far away now. Many Star Wars fans are very much excited for what is to come, especially given the recent marketing materials. Given that we have not yet seen season 2, it might feel too soon to wonder about season 3. However, good news is good news, and Jon Favreau has told Variety that the third season is due to start filming "before the end of the year."

The Six Jedi Order Ranks Explained
The path to becoming a Jedi is made up of a few different ranks. This is especially evident when, in Revenge of the Sith, Mace Windu says the notorious line, "You are on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master." Some of the ranks are fairly obvious simply from watching the prequel trilogy, but the newly published The Star Wars Book outlines all six ranks of becoming a Jedi, as pointed out by Screen Rant.

Lucasfilm Reportedly Looking at Dave Bautista For Darth Bane Role In New Movie?
Darth Bane is a very popular character among Star Wars fans. Created by George Lucas and described as the Sith Lord who created the Rule of Two, Darth Bane got his own stories in the old Expanded Universe, now known as Legends. These include the comic book story Jedi vs. Sith and the Darth Bane novel trilogy consisting of Path of Destruction, Rule of Two, and Dynasty of Evil. In canon, a vision of Darth Bane appears to Yoda in the final arc of The Clone Wars season 6, voiced by Mark Hamill, no less. But who could play him in a live-action project?

Lucasfilm May Be Considering Dwayne Johnson For Next Star Wars Role
While there is debate on whether or not Star Wars fatigue is a real thing (we don't want another movie, but we're counting down the days until more Baby Yoda), Lucasfilm and Disney are still doing everything that they can to milk every single unit of every currency known to man out of the franchise, and will likely do so until the heat death of the universe. With the next film not set to come out until 2025 (if there is a 2025), we have plenty of time to speculate on exactly what we are getting. Fans are looking forward to seeing the upcoming Obi-Wan TV series, and it's almost certain that we'll have more Mandalorian by then, even if the Baby Yoda arc ends. Until then, all we have are speculation and rumors.
