Dee Bradley Baker Confirms That Captain Rex Made It To Endor
Captain Rex is a fan favorite when it comes to Star Wars animation. He was introduced in the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and went on to be a main character of the series, even making it to the series finale that aired earlier this year. During the gap between seasons 6 and 7, we had another animated series called Star Wars Rebels, and Rex returned in that series, aiding the Ghost crew and being a helpful hand for the Rebel Alliance.

The Mandalorian Wields The Darksaber in Season 2 Of Mando!
Have you ever wondered what it would look like if Din Djarin, The Mandalorian himself, wielded the Darksaber? This, of course, is the legendary weapon that has been tied to Mandalorian lore throughout its appearances in The Clone Wars and Rebels animated series. When the Darksaber made its live-action debut in the hands of Moff Gideon at the end of season 1, fans who were familiar with the weapon lost their minds (in a good way).

Ewan McGregor Confirms When 'Star Wars' Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Will Start Filming
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series is the next big Star Wars TV series that fans are looking forward to seeing. When Ewan McGregor officially confirmed at D23 Expo last year that he was returning to the role for a Disney+ series. People had long suspected that a Kenobi story starring Ewan McGregor would come in the form of a standalone film, but a limited series allows for more screentime to really flesh out the story and the character.

Check Out This Concept Art Featuring Kylo Ren And Palpatine’s Cloning Machines
It is no secret that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was a polarizing film. While some fans loved the movie and felt that it was a worthy finale to the Skywalker saga, others felt that The Rise of Skywalker left out important plot lines, did a disservice to its characters, and was a disappointing conclusion overall.

The Next 'Star Wars' Film Should Be Pushed Back To 2025
Expectations for the release schedule of Star Wars films has certainly changed in the years since Disney bought Lucasfilm. Before The Force Awakens came out, fans were made aware of the fact that there would be one new Star Wars movie each year, with standalone films coming out between saga films. In 2018, however, Solo: A Star Wars Story was released less than half a year after The Last Jedi, apparently as a test to see whether Star Wars could release two films per year, similar to what Marvel and even DC have done. However, the box office numbers for Solo were not very satisfying to the higher-ups. It became clear that there would be no standalone Star Wars film coming out in 2020, as previously expected.

Kathleen Kennedy Is “Sad” Marvel Hired Nia DaCosta Before She Did
According to Lucasfilm's president Kathleen Kennedy, hiring more women is a priority over at Lucasfilm. By and large, there has not been a lot of diversity in terms of the big names working behind the scenes on Star Wars films. However, The Mandalorian, which itself is cinematic and feels like a long film or a few films despite being a television series, is setting a fine precedent. Deborah Chow directed "Chapter 3: The Sin" and "Chapter 7: The Reckoning." The former was a high point for Star Wars fans, a climax that closed off the first little arc of the series. The latter was a suspenseful set-up for what was to come in the season finale. And of course, she is the sole director of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series that is set for a 2022 release.

'Star Wars: The Mandalorian' - Din Djarin's Homeworld Name Revealed
Star Wars has such a huge galaxy with so many planets and characters that there are bound to be mysteries that have not yet been solved. Even after all these years, we do not know what the homeworlds for characters like Yoda are. In the case of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s homeworld, it took George Lucas being interviewed by Jon Stewart for us to find out that Kenobi’s homeworld was Stewjon, an obvious reference to Jon Stewart’s name. Yoda’s homeworld (as well as species name) is perhaps the biggest mystery. Naturally, this extends to the Child from The Mandalorian. However, for a while, we also have not known the homeworld of the Mandalorian himself.

Is the Dark Side Actually More Powerful Than the Light Side?
Screen Rant shared an article asking this very question. It may get one thinking about which side may be more powerful, between the light and the dark. While the article does not appear to take a firm stance on the matter, throwing in fair points for either side, it does allude to the exchange between Luke and Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back. Luke asks, “Is the dark side stronger?” Yoda’s response to this question is, “No… no… no… Quicker, easier, more seductive.”
