Obi-Wan Kenobi, a limited six-part Disney+ series airing in May 2022, will apparently not only address Obi-Wan's chief role of watching over and protecting young Luke Skywalker but that Obi-Wan will also wind up playing an essential role in protecting the other Skywalker sibling, Princess Leia Organa. As we know from the finale of Revenge of The Sith, ten years before this series, Leia was entrusted to the care of the late Padme Amidala-Skywalker's closest ally in the Galactic Senate, Bail Organa, and his wife, Breha, Queen of Alderaan, which, until now, is where Leia is believed to have stayed for most of her life.

REPORT: New 'Star Wars' Game Receives Disappointing Release Date
If you have recently watched the cinematic trailer for Star Wars: Eclipse and found yourself intrigued by the concept, then this news may sour your day a little bit. It turns out the game is not anywhere close to release. Reports are saying that it will drop in 2027 or 2028 at the earliest. What is the reason for such a delay for a game that already has a teaser trailer? Well, it appears that the studio Quantic Dream is having a tough time filling positions in order to begin production on the game. The studio had posted 60 openings just before the holidays.

Will Tarkin's Protégé Appear In The 'Andor' Series?
"As my mentor used to tell me, relish the victory, but savor the hunt." These are the words of Ellian Zahra; an Imperial Commander and the current antagonist of Charles Soule's 2020 Star Wars comic series. After losing her parents at a young age, Zahra joined the Imperial Academy and became a student of none other than Governor Wilhuff Tarkin. After rising through the ranks and officially joining the Empire upon graduation from the academy, Zahra was taken by Tarkin to his home planet of Eriadu.

The Mountain That Cried In 'Star Wars'
The Star Wars galaxy has a lot of odds and ends to it, filled to the brim with all sorts of wonderful and magical elements. However, some of those elements are a bit stranger than others. When the Expanded Universe was conceived, it expanded the Star Wars galaxy in a way that was both odd and weird, but also fantastical and enlightening. The old Expanded Universe was made up of many eras too. There was the Bantam era of the '90s to the Del-Ray era of the mid to late 2000s. In the early years of the EU, the comic book license belonged to Marvel Comics.
