Daisy Ridley Says "Never Say Never" To Returning As Rey
The Star Wars sequel trilogy has been a wile ride. Some of the choices were questionable, so it is an understatement to say that the trilogy got a very mixed reception. Regardless of what one may think of the results, it told a story mainly focused on Rey, portrayed by Daisy Ridley. Even if the writing could have been improved in some places (your mileage may vary), Daisy Ridley gave it her all with her acting abilities. Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker was advertised as the end of the saga films. But of course, it is possible for Lucasfilm to change their minds in the future.

Star Trek Day's 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Panel Promises A More Episodic Approach
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is something that a lot of fans are very much looking forward to seeing. When Star Trek: Discovery brought the franchise back to television after a 12-year absence from the small screen, some of the reception was mixed. For some, it was a breath of fresh air and innovative storytelling for the franchise. However, there were some who did not like that the show felt darker at certain points. There were fans who longed for something brighter and more hopeful.

We all have seen the backlash to The Rise of Skywalker online.

George Lucas Urged Dave Filoni To "Go Faster" On Set Of 'The Mandalorian' Season 2
Even though George Lucas sold Lucasfilm, and by extension Star Wars, to Disney in October 2012, he has still popped up every once in a while as further live-action projects were made. Famously, he was not very involved with the sequel trilogy, though J.J. Abrams did talk about having a discussion about the Force with George as The Rise of Skywalker was being made. In terms of being physically present on the set of a film, however, we know that George visited the sets of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story. For the latter, he gave the suggestion that Han would just leave a coat lying on the floor rather than pick it up.

Star Trek Day's 'Star Trek: Discovery' Panel Provides Glimpse Of What's To Come In Season 3
For Star Trek Day (September 8 since that is the date that the first released episode “The Man Trap” aired in 1966), fans were treated to an all-day marathon as well as a few virtual panels. One of these panels was focused on Star Trek: Discovery, which ushered in a new Star Trek renaissance after 12 years of the franchise being off of the small screen (though there were three films, in the meantime). Seasons 1 and 2 took place prior to The Original Series, but at the end of season 2, the Discovery crew was thrust to the future. The panel touched upon this time period, even releasing the trailer below:

First Images From 'The Mandalorian Season 2' Feature Gina Carano and Carl Weathers
Star Wars fans are very hyped for The Mandalorian season 2, which is premiering on October 30 on Disney+. With the season ever-approaching, many fans have been expecting and asking for a season 2 trailer. Personally, I would be totally fine if no trailer were released at all. People would likely still watch. And anyway, I do not even remember the season 1 trailer.

Virtual Tour Available for Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities from 'Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge'
It has been a little over a year since the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World Resort. This section allowed Star Wars fans the experience to go to a place that feels like it exists within the Star Wars galaxy, giving them the opportunity to pilot the Millennium Falcon, purchase items that have been seen within the franchise, or simply drink blue or green milk. Even though the planet Batuu had not been featured within the films, it felt like a place straight out of the films. It helped that some fans became more familiar with Batuu via books and comics.

Deluxe Edition Revealed for 'Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga' Video Game
The LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video game is one of the most anticipated Star Wars games in quite a while. Given the mediocre reactions to the Battlefront remakes, it will be interesting to see the full details of the new Lego game in the saga. The latest LEGO Star Wars game was the one based on The Force Awakens, which generally received positive reviews overall. That means that once the new game releases in spring of 2021, players will be able to play Lego versions of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. Hopefully, the reaction to the Lego versions of those movies will be better than the reactions to the movies themselves.
