Speculation – The Real Reason Why Crime Syndicates Are So Interested In Tatooine
Tatooine seems to be quite the hub of scum and villainy and it is just relegated to Mos Eisley. The planet is the home of various criminals like Jabba the Hutt, one of the most notorious crime lords of all time. For a planet that Luke once considered farthest from anything interesting, it is the center of underworld activities.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Star States Trailer Will 'Blow People's Minds'
Obi-Wan Kenobi is coming to Disney+ sooner rather than later. However, outside of one little tease for it, we have not really seen much in terms of any shots, trailers, or really anything. That does not mean the good folk down at Lucasfilm are not working hard on giving us the best series they could possibly hope for. It will hopefully feel more like a movie than just another television series. With that being said, trailers are going to be tantamount for promoting the Kenobi series. According to Kenobi actors, it seems that this series trailer will "blow our minds."

'Star Wars' Finally Sheds More Light On The Mandalorian Purge & Night Of A Thousand Tears
However destructive we thought the Mandalorian Purge was, it was way worse. Finally, Star Wars has given us a look at the Mandalorian Purge and the Night of a Thousand Tears in canon. Mandalorian history (especially events on Mandalore post the rise of the Empire) has always been shrouded in mystery after the new Star Wars canon was established after Disney bought Lucasfilm. Since season one, The Mandalorian has been teasing the Night of a Thousand Tears, and The Book of Boba Fett just gave us more information on what happened on that tragic night. It also hints at the dark turn of the Mandalorian Purge.

Why This Ridiculous Alien Never Made It Into 'Return Of The Jedi'
Star Wars is known for its wide array of planets and various alien races that have come to life in the franchise's more than forty years history of its existence. Legendary VFX expert Phil Tippet is now revealing a design that did not make the final cut of Return of the Jedi. Tippet has been the VFX artist on the original Star Wars trilogy. Some of his most impressive work for the series included such creatures as the Rancor and the Gamorrean guards of Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Tippet had said that he always wanted to make everything in Star Wars seem as realistic as possible to try and make fans believe in the designs.

On The Set Of HBO Max's 'Batgirl' | With Exclusive Behind The Scene Pictures
Despite my relatively small hometown of Glasgow not being Scotland’s capital and not as well known throughout the rest of the world, it has become somewhat of a popular filming destination for some big movies. In the last two years alone, it has seen the glitz and glamor of Hollywood on several occasions with the likes of The Batman (starring Robert Pattinson), The Flash (starring Ezra Miller along with Michael Keaton’s triumphant return to the role of the Dark Knight) and Indiana Jones 5 (starring the legend that is Harrison Ford) using the city center as an American backdrop.

Why The Darksaber Feels Heavy In Combat | 'Star Wars' Explained
"Chapter 5: The Return of the Mandalorian" of The Book of Boba Fett wasted no time in bringing Din Djarin, modern Star Wars' famed Mandalorian, back in action on-screen. In catching his bounty, a nefarious butcher, Din once again showcases his expertise in combat by going for the "bring you in cold" option. Rather than guns blazing, the bounty hunter ignites the iconic Darksaber, cutting down the butcher's henchmen one by one with no mercy. However, despite his jack-of-all-trades nature in weapons mastery, Din observably struggles in wielding the ancient blade, even accidentally wounding his leg in the process.

Check Out This Never Before Seen Footage From 'Star Wars 1313'
It has been ages since the cancellation of Star Wars 1313, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn't still fascinate us. Far from it, canceled games can be a major source of information on all sorts of things related to game development and “what could have been.” It gives us an insight into the world of video game development, and it gives us another insight into the minds of the creators. If we just forgot about every game that got canceled, we would forget about things in the video game industry that no one would be privy to. Like, for instance, an appearance from one of the more famous characters in the entire franchise, one who inspired an entire Disney+ series about him. We are, of course, talking about Boba Fett, and some new footage has just surfaced linking him to this game. Read on to find out more.

Did You Catch These Easter Eggs In The Latest Episode Of 'The Book Of Boba Fett'?
Warning: Spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett Episode 5 Filler episodes usually have a terrible reputation. While they primarily serve as a break in the main plot, they tend to not add to the overarching storyline. This is not the case with the most recent episode of The Book of Boba Fett. While it steers away from the main story of The Book of Boba Fett, it moves the story of The Mandalorian, telling us what Din Djarin has been up to during his downtime activities between seasons two and three. As a result, it feels more like Chapter 16.1 of The Mandalorian than Chapter 5 of The Book of Boba Fett.

Star Wars: You Missed This Luke Skywalker Easter Egg In 'The Book Of Boba Fett'
In the latest episode of The Book of Boba Fett titled "Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian," the series took a detour from the life of its titular bounty hunter-turned-crime lord. Instead, the spotlight was on the life of Din Djarin after leaving the Force-sensitive foundling Grogu to be trained by Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Jedi. The episode ended with a sequence in which he tested out his new ship, an N-1 Naboo starfighter that Peli Motto found. The ship was incredibly fast and allowed Din to maneuver more precisely than he could with the Razor Crest. However, his flying also attracted the attention of a pair of X-wing pilots patrolling the area for the New Republic. Does this particular New Republic X-wing pilot look familiar to you? If so, you must have good eyes.
