How Marchion Ro Defeated The Jedi Order In 'The High Republic'
*Spoilers for The High Republic* The Nihil have proven themselves to be one the most significant threats the Jedi have ever seen. Since their debut in Charles Soule's Light of the Jedi, their offensive against the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic itself has been extensive and ruthless. At the head of their operations is Marchion Ro, one of the last of a race known as the Evereni. As explained in Charles Soule's Eye of the Storm comic miniseries, Ro comes from a culture built on betrayal and distrust.

DLCs Announced For 'LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga'
After several delays, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will finally be released on April 5, 2022. The game was first announced at Star Wars Celebration Chicago in 2019. As the name suggests, this game will give players the opportunity to relive all nine episodic Star Wars films in the typical wacky LEGO style. Each episode will consist of five levels where players will be able to unlock the various planets of the game. After that, they will be able to freely move between them, so there is no need to play the game in the chronological order of the movies. All the levels have been completely redone and are not just a collection of previous LEGO Star Wars games. Like before, players will be able to take control of dozens of characters, humans, aliens, and droids alike.

The Next 'Star Wars' Anthology Series Should Involve These Two Characters
By all accounts, Star Wars: Visions was a successful show for Disney and Lucasfilm, and it showed potential in other anthology stories in the Star Wars universe. Star Wars has always been a vast universe with plenty of stories to tell. Pivoting from that, Star Wars also has plenty of room for comedy. While Star Wars has had some comedic moments, I wouldn’t call them comedies. Furthermore, I think some of the funniest Star Wars moments have come from parodies like Space Balls, the Robot Chicken: Star Wars specials, and Family Guy’s Blue Harvest. Star Wars could be home to several genres exploring any number of infinite story possibilities. The franchise is seriously lacking in terms of comedy, and it seems committed to only wanting to create shows that are set between Episodes I- IX. Why not meet halfway? That is why I think the next anthology series by Disney and Lucasfilm should follow Tag and Bink.

How 'Star Wars' Influenced Real Life Space Missions
Space exploration became a household term in 1977. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts were launched to explore the solar system’s outer planets. That same year also saw another exciting launch: the Star Wars movies. Since 1977, Voyager spacecraft and Star Wars have been on remarkably parallel paths.

Could An 'Heir To The Empire' Feature Film Be Headed To Disney+?
The 2022 slate of Star Wars media is moving on, with the end of The Book of Boba Fett and the beginning of Obi-Wan Kenobi just two months away. According to rumors, we don’t know what will happen next, but we might have an idea of an endpoint. Of course, we’re not entirely sure if it’s real or not, so take everything we say as a mere possibility; you can’t get your hopes up over a false rumor. With that being said, we should also go over the hows and possible whys to cover all the bases. We don’t want to ignore any possible leak, but we should always take it with a grain of salt.

The Absolutely Horrible Fate Of Greedo After Han Shot First
Okay, so... look, *quiet sigh* we're all going to [Spoiler Alert] die someday. There will inevitably be a question on what is going to happen to your body unless you died fighting six bears and juuust couldn't quite knock out that last one who is now extremely bitter and more than a little annoyed. Or something like that. The same holds true for Star Wars characters when the story decides to focus on that a bit. Qui-Gon and Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker were given respectful funerals as the attendees solemnly looked on. Obi-Wan famously vanished when he was (about to be? Depends on who you ask) hit by Darth Vader's lightsaber, leaving an empty robe behind that Darth Vader probably put into a footlocker while he tried to figure out what to do with it. It was no doubt destroyed along with the Death Star. Biggs, Porkins, and the other Rebel pilots who died during the attack on the Death Star did not need burials since they were more or less evaporated.
