The Best Opening Quotes From 'The Clone Wars'
The Clone Wars is one of the best Star Wars shows out there, maybe even the best Star Wars show. It makes the Star Wars universe so much bigger, and also brings prequel characters to the forefront. Another thing that makes The Clone Wars so great is the quotes, or morals, at the beginning of each episode. Each one relates to the episode in some way, but also relates to Star Wars in a bigger picture as well. These are my favorite opening quotes from The Clone Wars.

How Watching 'The Clone Wars' Helped Shape This Characters Return?
The Chosen One will return. Well, Hayden Christensen will return to Star Wars as he will reprise the role of Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series scheduled to begin on May 27th of this year. It will be exciting to once again have this classic actor return to this iconic role after so long. He has not played the role since Revenge of the Sith. With such a long time passed, it will be exciting to once again see him return to the role that he made iconic in the prequel trilogy.

Theory: Could Mace Windu Become The Canon Version Of Joruus C'baoth?
It’s no secret that fans, and even the actor himself, want the return of Mace Windu after his death in Revenge of the Sith. Fan-favorite Samuel L. Jackson has spoken on the return of his Star Wars character in a recent interview, saying “Put me in, coach, I'm ready! I'll learn to lightsaber left-handed, come on, hook me up.” Well, what if he didn’t need to learn to use the lightsaber with his left hand, what if he was reborn with all limbs intact at the hands of the same person that killed him?

How Roleplaying Games Kept 'Star Wars' Alive During The Dark Times
The year was 1987. The world was filled with questionable fashion trends, and pop music was all over the radio (for better or worse, mostly worse). Grunge music was in its infancy. Action movies like Lethal Weapon dominated the box office. It was a weird but simple time, especially for teenagers who grew up with Star Wars, which by the late 1980s was all but a memory. A nostalgic look down memory lane. By 1987, Star Wars was on life support, deep into the dark times. The only thing keeping the flame going was the tenth anniversary of the original film and a certain book publisher.

Could Han Solo Appear In 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'?
The Smoking Gun Since the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer dropped, Reddit has been buzzing with rumors of a Han Solo cameo. His signature DL-44 blaster midway through the teaser trailer got pulses racing and keyboards tapping. Why would Disney leave such an obvious Easter egg if he wasn’t going to appear? Unfortunately, it’s not like they’ve never done that to us before, Star Wars fans. Remember when Marvel told us they’d donated Karen Gillian’s red hair to The Force Awakens, and we were all sure it was for Mara Jade? Club Jade is still holding out hope. Keep believing in miracles, you crazy dreamers.

New LEGO Set Based On Another Iconic 'Star Wars' Scene From The Original Trilogy Revealed
LEGO is releasing a new set inspired by one of the most memorable moments from A New Hope (1977).

Indeed, in this scene, we find the main characters Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) trapped in the trash compactor after the latter used a blaster to create a passage into that smelly room full of trash. Little did they know, it is also the home of a slimy tentacled monster called Dianoga.
