Carl Weathers Gives Fans An Update On ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3
Since Disney took over the property of Star Wars, fan reception has been mixed at best. However, everyone will agree that the Star Wars Disney+ series have been some of the sharpest writing, direction, and action to come to television in recent memory. When Disney announced the start of their streaming platform two years ago, everyone was immediately drawn to The Mandalorian and the world built by creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. Within the first two seasons, we have seen a unique side to the Star Wars universe with a world that has been well- rounded with callbacks to characters from the animated world and Legends. But since the end of season 2 and the great reveal of a certain Jedi Master, everyone has been wondering when season 3 will make its debut or if we have even started. Thanks to a tweet from Greef Karga himself, Carl Weathers, we know where we stand.

'Star Wars' Fans Are Confident That Obi-Wan Kenobi Will Surpass Loki As The Most Watched Premiere On Disney+
2022 is looking to be a hell of a year for Star Wars fans. Yeah, last year had plenty of books and comics come out, and we got the first season of The Bad Batch, but 2021 was a bit lackluster for Star Wars fans, especially over on Disney+. Compare that to Marvel, which had four movie releases and five Disney+ series: WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, WHAT IF...? and Hawkeye. Marvel fans were well catered to last year. Now it's our turn.

Temuera Morrison Reveals He'd Like To Play Other Notable Clones From The Saga
The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison may hold the record for most characters portrayed in a film series. He originally played bounty hunter Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones and his likeness was also cast on every clone trooper in Revenge of the Sith. Now he is portraying his character's own son. Jango requested an unaltered clone during his time on Kamino who he raised as his own son and named Boba Fett. Temuera Morrison now plays an older Boba in The Book of Boba Fett. However, it looks like Jango and Boba Fett aren't the only characters Temuera Morrison has his sights on. In a recent interview, he revealed the other characters in the Star Wars universe he would like to play.

Luke Skywalker Gets Advice From A High Republic Jedi
The ways that the current Star Wars comics have continued to seamlessly bridge every era of the franchise together have been most impressive. This is especially true in the case of the still fresh line of comics and novels The High Republic. This era of Star Wars has done a remarkable job of fleshing out the Jedi Order and the galaxy at large two hundred years prior to The Phantom Menace. The publishing line's various authors and creatives have managed to make every part of The High Republic feel consistent and cohesive with not just itself, but with the rest of the franchise as well. The latest issue of Charles Soule's mainline Star Wars comic series did that especially well by having one Jedi from The High Republic play a direct role in Luke Skywalker's Jedi training in the time between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Ranking The Best Lightsaber Battles From ‘The Clone Wars’
Since 1977, lightsaber battles are a staple of Star Wars and the "Battle of the Heroes” between Obi-Wan and Anakin in Episode III will probably forever be the gold-standard for lightsaber duels. The Clone Wars TV-series had quite a number of occasions where these legendary weapons clashed. Wookieepedia lists 35 episodes, plus the 2008 theatrical movie, that featured at least one lightsaber duel. It would not be possible to rank them all, but today we are going to look at the 10 best of them.

Ranking The Top 5 Best Lightsaber Battles From The Movies
It probably goes without saying that one of the hallmarks of the Star Wars franchise has been the iconic duels between Force-Sensitive characters, featuring the in-universe equivalent of the sword, known as a lightsaber. These duels have created some of the franchise's most memorable and epic moments. The top five Lightsaber battles from the Skywalker Saga are listed here, with a couple of honorable mentions from other Star Wars movies/series.

Odd 'Star Wars' Theory Could Explain Boba's Apparent Weakness In First Few Episodes
The main criticism of Boba Fett in The Book of Boba Fett has been how the titular character is irreconcilable with the Boba Fett we got to know in the original trilogy (and specifically in The Empire Strikes Back). Our new Boba is magnanimous, compassionate, and (gasp) a humanitarian. He even has a soft spot for a Rancor – although, in fairness, who hasn't wanted to scratch a Rancor’s cheek and tease it like a puppy? But one of the biggest problems, apparently, is Boba’s fighting prowess. Or lack of.

New Report States Bo-Katan Series May Be In The Works
Star Wars: The Clone Wars birthed many new and interesting characters over its seven-year run, primarily due to the creative teams, led by George Lucas and Dave Filoni. Each of these new characters, like Hondo Ohnaka, Ahsoka Tano, Master Sinube, Asajj Ventress, and Cad Bane, went on to appear in other stories and media. But only two have earned their own streaming series. Ahsoka will begin streaming on Disney+ late in 2022. Also, according to recent reports, Bo-Katan will be joining Ahsoka with her own series with actress Katie Sackoff reprising her leading role.

‘Book Of Boba Fett’ Suggests Luke Would Not Have Survived Had He Remained On Tatooine
We are four weeks into The Book of Boba Fett, and it would appear as though fans of the show are struggling to enjoy the series for what it is, a space western told by the seemingly unbreakable Jon Favreau. The new cowboys of the Disney era have had success with The Mandolorian and wish to catch lightning in a bottle again. However, reception of the series has devolved into a weekly nit-pick to help soothe the ache that the series is not firing on all cylinders. Fans who have enjoyed the success of Marvel’s What If...? are also playing their own version with the Star Wars universe with the latest involving Luke Skywalker and his home planet of Tatooine.

Could This Fan Favorite Legends Character Be Made Canon Through ‘The Mandalorian’ Or ‘Book Of Boba Fett’?
Season 2 of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian introduced the Darksaber of the Mandalorian culture. This made the story of the Mandalorian and the Jedi even more critical. Questions arose about where the Darksaber came from. The creator of the Darksaber, Terra Vizsla, was the first Mandalorian to become a Jedi. He was not the only Jedi to wear Mandalorian armor, however. The most famous Jedi to wear Mandalorian armor was actually Darth Revan. The Star Wars fan base might recall Darth Revan from the popular video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and the Dark Horse comics Knights of the Old Republic #42.
