'Star Wars' Is Bringing Back This Huge Legends Character
With the release of Crimson Reign #1 written by Charles Soule and art by Steven Cumming, the notorious legends character, Prince Xizor, seems to be returning to canon. In the comic, Prince Xizor is only mentioned during a conversation between Lady Qi’ra and Lord Gyuti, the boss of Black Sun, as Lady Qi’ra reintroduces Crimson Dawn to the crime syndicate. While the name Prince Xizor may not ring a bell for any of the newer Star Wars fans, for the older Star Wars fans they know that in the world of Legends he was as influential to the galaxy as Emperor Palpatine himself.

See Sabastian Stan Suit Up As Luke Skywalker For 'Mandalorian' Season 3 Art
The last Jedi made his return to Star Wars in dramatic fashion during the Mandalorian Season 2 finale, slicing his way through a hoard of Dark Troopers straight back into our hearts. However, when the hood came down and fans saw a de-aged Mark Hamill, it seemed like there was a disturbance in the Force. Many had wished for Disney to simply recast the role, akin to Alden Ehrenreich portraying a younger Han Solo, rather than using their technology to create a face that, while clearly Mark Hamill and a technical marvel, felt slightly...Off. So, if they had re-cast Luke for the Mandalorian, who would it have been? The Star Wars fandom seems to have made the unanimous decision, something extremely rare in a galaxy far, far away, that it should be none other than Sebastian Stan.

All Of The Companies That Disney Owns
Why Mickey, you have certainly been a very busy mouse. Please Pass Go!!! Please Do Collect $200!!! You could say that Disney has built quite the monopoly. Hotels included. Several years ago, Marvel wanted and hoped to get back the Fantastic Four. Twentieth Century Fox greenlit a film at the last minute just so they could hold on to the right. We all remember that box office disaster. Well, since Fox wouldn't play fair, what does Disney do? Buys the whole company, of course, for 71.3 Billion dollars. Got to spend money to make money, I guess. But the question is, how many companies does Disney own?

Why Palpatine Felt Lightsabers Were 'Beneath' The Sith
Most people immediately envisage the iconic red lightsaber when you think of the Sith. We have seen them from the start with Darth Vader in A New Hope, Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, and Count Dooku in Attack of the Clones. There is even a glimpse of one in The Rise of Skywalker with Dark Side Rey. On the other hand, Palpatine is only seen using a lightsaber in combat once in the all the movies, in Revenge of the Sith.

Obi-Wan Created A Sith Lord Even More Powerful Than Darth Vader
If you ask any Star Wars fan what Obi-Wan Kenobi's greatest failure was, they would say it was letting Anakin Skywalker become Darth Vader. That's a no-brainer. He admits it at least a couple of times. For years, it would haunt him because he protected Luke Skywalker, Anakin's son. Master and Apprentice would meet again in the original Death Star and have another duel. There, Kenobi would sacrifice himself and become more powerful than anyone could really imagine, while Anakin would return to the light and finish off Darth Sidious, bringing the Sith to an end for a time at least. That was the end of Vader as well.

Pre-order New Black Series Boba Fett Figure, Boba Fett Monopoly And More
When Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope became this unexpected hit, George Lucas was encouraged to renegotiate his payday. He declined and instead opted to negotiate for the merchandising rights. Sounds like innovative business thinking, doesn't it? Back in 1977, it was genius. Back then, movies weren't tied to toys and games. The most extensive tie-ins were novelizations, and they were hardly going to spin-off into some humongous money-churner. After all, you don't hear kids clamoring for books like they might holler for toys (although it would be nice if they did).
