But while Tarkin and his allies may think this technological terror is the peak of power for the Empire, it does indeed pale in the power of not only the force but these five other superweapons in the Star Wars Universe.

Hayden Christensen Describes His Experience Wearing The Darth Vader Suit Again
Today while in London during a photo event, Hayden Christensen was asked a few questions about his return as the iconic Darth Vader. In an interview clocking in just under two minutes, he spoke about returning to the role after so long away from it, his relationship with co-star Ewan McGregor, and even filled us in on what it was like to don the Dark Lord of the Sith's one of a kind armor. Hayden seemed very happy to be back in his role as Anakin, smiling the whole time and recalling how he enjoyed filming the prequels with Ewan. It seems like he is giddy about his upcoming appearance in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and to be honest so are we.

Why ‘Rogue Squadron’ Really Should Be A Disney+ Series
Star Wars Rogue Squadron will potentially be the next great Star Wars film to come to theaters near us, hopefully in 2023. Directed by Patty Jenkins, very little is known about this film, only that it will have the name of the famous X-Wing Squadron that helped the Rebel Alliance defeat the Evil Empire during the Galactic Civil War. First introduced in the Legends X-Wing Novel Series by Michael Stackpool, the name is famous among the Star Wars fandom. Whether or not the movie will have anything to do with the books of Legends is yet to be known, however one thing that has come to mind with this author is the following question; Should it be a movie at all, maybe it should be a Disney+ series?

How 'Star Wars: Queen's Hope' Offers New Insight Into Padmé And Anakin's Relationship
Before Reylo, no romantic relationship in Star Wars had been rockier than that of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. Brought on by naïve young love and solidified by secrets and war, Anakin and Padmé's marriage is essentially the franchise's equivalent to Romeo and Juliet, complete with a tragic ending that brings their previous lives to a bitter end. Their relationship also comes with a decent amount of baggage from how it was handled in the prequel trilogy. From the Shakespearean dialogue to Padmé's willingness to marry someone who slaughtered a village of men, women and children, writing for Anakin and Padmé in subsequent material is far from an easy task. However, this hasn't stopped writers from expanding upon their romance in ways that help it feel more natural and true to their characters. One certain writer who has done this especially well is none other than E.K. Johnston.

Set during the Dark Times, we know that the Empire will have many forces under its disposal. Recently it was revealed that a few variants of the Imperial forces have been leaked, and we can now give details on what is to come.
