Weird Al Reveals He Made Music For 'Star Wars'
Weird Al and Star Wars are an odd pairing, but one that honestly makes sense. Obviously Weird Al had done Star Wars parodies before such as “The Saga Begins” and “Yoda.” They are such musical classics that any Star Wars fan would find amusing. So it is not a surprise when we learn that he has been involved in composing music for Star Wars Detours, the comedic animated parody show of the galaxy far, far away.

George Lucas Announces His Return To 'Star Wars' Making Standalone Film
Star Wars fans rejoice! For years, fans have begged for George Lucas to return to the series he created. Rumors have often circulated that he would be returning to the series, and he has appeared on set to give guidance on shows like The Mandalorian. Lucas has also gone on record to talk about his original plans for the sequel trilogy, and based on the information available about his plans, it would appear his vision for the sequel trilogy was radically different than what Disney has envisioned. It is also no secret that Disney’s era of Star Wars films did not go over extremely well with fans.

'Star Wars' Reveals New Details About Tatooine's History And Famous Locations
Tatooine is possibly the most iconic planet in all of Star Wars history. It was the first planet introduced to fans in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope back in 1977 where R2-D2 and C-3PO are sent on a mission to find Obi-Wan Kenobi, Leia’s only hope, and also manage to run into Luke Skywalker. Since then, Tatooine has been a popular planet that has shown up in almost every film and television series since. In 2008’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated movie, Anakin Skywalker returns to the desert planet to reunite Jabba with his son who has been kidnapped by Dooku and his assassin Ventress. More recently, Tatooine is almost the only planet shown in The Book of Boba Fett where Boba Fett replaces Jabba and Bib Fortuna as the lead crime boss in Mos Eisley. Fans are excited to see its return once again in the highly anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series set to premiere on May 25, 2022. It should come as no surprise that Star Wars has announced a new book titled Star Wars: Exploring Tatooine, which will hit the shelves in August 2022.

Disney Brings Cal Kestis's Lightsaber to Life
The success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order naturally lends itself to one of the things Disney loves to do the most: merchandise. With the money printing machine that is Galaxy's Edge in Disney World and Disneyland, and the upcoming announcement of Fallen Order 2, it makes sense that they would take advantage of the opportunity.

All 300 Playable Characters In 'LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga' Confirmed
LEGO and Star Wars are like peanut butter and chocolate. Since the original LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game was released back on March 29, 2005, this odd collection of games parodying and simultaneously paying love and homage to the Star Wars galaxy has been consistently enjoyable and a treat for us Star Wars fans who are still kids at heart. But none of Traveller's Tales' previous LEGO Star Wars outings can compare to the massive size and ambition of their most recent upcoming venture LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Initially teased during Microsoft's conference back at E3 2019, this game has been sold as a LEGO retelling of the entire Skywalker saga from The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker. Despite the frequent delays moving the game's expected release date from 2019 to 2022, LEGO Star Wars fans remain excited for this latest entry in the series and its portrayal of Episodes I- IX, as well as surely a few bonus missions from other Star Wars films and properties.

REPORT: 'Star Wars' The High Republic Project Set To Start Production Soon
Star Wars Celebration 2022 will occur between May 26 and 29 in Anaheim, California. Besides being among fellow fans, buying merchandise until the credit card says "no," getting to know the plans for new books and comics, and learning about various behind the scenes stuff, the large panels (yes, the one where you have to camp overnight on hard and cold concrete in hopes to get a wristband the following day) is undoubtedly one of the main attractions of this event.

What Qui-Gon's Role Will Be In 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series
One of the highlights of the Phantom Menace is the performance of Liam Neeson as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. His stern and confident demeanor, paired with his paternal wisdom in dealing with those in his care, give the impression of a sage samurai. He's also extremely wise in the Force, seeing past the dogma of the Jedi Order and understanding the true nature of the Living and Cosmic Force. He was also the first Jedi to discover the secret to preserving consciousness beyond death. After he was struck down by Darth Maul during the Battle of Naboo, Qui-Gon returned in The Clone Wars, appearing to Obi-Wan on Mortis and guiding Yoda to Dagobah, starting the Grand Master down his own path to immortality.

Theory: Were The High Republic's 'Nameless' In 'The Clone Wars'?
The High Republic, Star Wars' highly acclaimed publishing line, has been breaking new ground for the franchise in a myriad of ways. From its complex characters and storylines to its handling of mature and intense subject matter, the series has done an excellent job of carving out its own place in the Star Wars galaxy while also adding to the existing mythology. One of The High Republic's most creative (and horrifying) additions to the galaxy far, far away is a race of mysterious creatures known as the Nameless.
