The Dark History Of Darth Maul
CONTENT WARNING: ABUSE Maul is arguably one of the most recognizable Star Wars characters, if not for the unique character design then the stunning, dramatic entrance in The Phantom Menace. Many fans are unaware of his whole past, especially what happened prior to his reappearance in Rebels. Maul is a pretty complex character. He was extremely important to the Star Wars story and continued to make an impact even after losing his Sith status.

'Star Wars' Fan Finds Copy Of Cancelled 'Battlefront III' Game
Star Wars: Battlefront III is one of those things lost to time and what might have been if George had not sold Lucasfilm to Disney. The third entry in the most beloved Star Wars game series would have been the next big update in the first-person shooter story. However, it was not to be. Everyone thought the game was lost in the chaos of the sale of Lucasfilm (and by extension LucasArts) to Disney. However, recent development revealed that the game may not be lost completely. Something had been unearthed.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Trailer Gives Us First Look At Darth Vader
With the release of the official trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi on May 4th, we have been given some exciting first looks at our favorite villain in the Star Wars universe. Of course, it is none other than the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Lord Vader. A fan favorite since 1977 during the opening moments of A New Hope, Vader has captivated fans for over thirty years. It is no surprise that Disney has been giving sparse details about his appearance in the new show streaming later this month. But what role will he play in the show given what we have seen of the former Jedi Knight and current Sith Lord?

Why Luke Skywalker Wasn’t As Good A Jedi Master As You Think
Luke Skywalker is definitely one of, if not the most powerful Jedi the galaxy has ever seen. However, strength and power alone are not the only characteristics required for a great Jedi Master. Luke Skywalker, as a Jedi Master, was a failure.

5 Reasons Why Plo Koon Should Be Your Favorite Jedi
There are many brilliant members of the Jedi Order. Star Wars has provided a myriad of Jedi occupying different niches, varying wildly aesthetically, and employing a variety of moral ideals. We have seen Jedi march to the beat of their own drum (Quinlan Vos), Jedi fall away from the Jedi Order due to idealism (Count Dooku), Jedi serve with dedication in the face of extreme personal trauma (Obi-Wan Kenobi), and we have seen Jedi grow from Padawan learner to true masters of the Force (Ahsoka Tano).

7 Crazy Gadgets/Skills R2-D2 Has You Might Not Know About
Appearing in every Skywalker Saga film and numerous spinoffs, R2-D2 has remained a consistent character throughout Star Wars. Making his debut in A New Hope, R2-D2 has been an anchor in the constant shifts of tone and setting. From Anakin and Luke's favorite droid to the connecting presence of the sequels, it's safe to say that without R2 and C-3PO, the saga would not feel like a whole. The little blue R2 unit has evolved past a cutesy comedic relief to become a vital essence in the survival of numerous characters throughout the franchise.

Will Darth Vader Tell The Emperor That Obi-Wan Is Alive?
Darth Vader and Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi had a long relationship that rivaled that of Maul's unbridled hate-filled existence in seeking vengeance all those years ago. Dating back to Attack of the Clones when Anakin felt contempt for Kenobi, that hatred morphed and twisted Anakin into a Dark Lord of the Sith. Vader was filled with hate, pain, regret, and an overabundance of emotions. After being lied to by Sheev Palpatine, he developed a lack of trust in anyone. The Anakin trapped inside Vader was very untrusting, especially of the Emperor. This begs the question, will Darth Vader reveal to the Emperor that Kenobi is alive in the show Obi-Wan Kenobi?

How ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ Was Structured Like ‘Game of Thrones’
In The Book of Boba Fett, the infamous bounty hunter, Boba Fett, newly recovered from his fall into the Sarlacc Pit in Return of the Jedi and freed from captivity from the Tusken Raiders, returns to Tatooine to become ruler of the late Jabba the Hutt’s criminal empire. While every series has its own flavor, the show reminded me a lot of how Game of Thrones was structured, especially during the earlier seasons. This article will compare and contrast the structure and world-building of both series and why, if you are a fan of Game of Thrones and Star Wars, The Book of Boba Fett might be a good show to fill that post-Game with Thrones/pre-House of the Dragon void that currently exists following the 2019 conclusion of Game of Thrones. If you haven’t seen The Book of Boba Fett, it might be good just as an appetizer to the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series as well.
