Director Robert Rodriguez Shown Acting Out 'The Book Of Boba Fett' Fight Scene
At long last, we are finally getting a solo Boba Fett project! Fans have long petitioned for a movie starring the bounty hunter, and it appeared that a film was in the works for a while. However, now we know that the Boba Fett project is a show that will be streamed on Disney+, and it is only mere weeks away. Despite the premiere date drawing closer, details from the show have been kept relatively quiet. Aside from the recent trailer, there has not been a lot of footage or images released, and that is probably out of a desire to keep the show from being spoiled. However, Empire has just released a new image of one of the series’ directors, Robert Rodriguez, on set.

The Best Musical Pieces From Each ‘Star Wars’ Movie Part 4 (The Sequel Trilogy)
Maestro John Williams returned to the galaxy far, far away to score the third and final trilogy of movies in the Star Wars franchise. While the soundtracks bring back some nostalgic leitmotifs from the original trilogy, Williams also created a new palette of themes that follow a new generation of characters through the final trilogy. Sadly, it appears that these films will be the last ones Williams scores within the Star Wars franchise. However, Williams should be lauded that he managed to complete the magical musical journey he started with A New Hope and ended with The Rise of Skywalker forty-two years later.

Top 10 Dark Horse ‘Star Wars’ Comics
Star Wars: Dark Empire (1991-1992) Star Wars: Dark Empire was the first Star Wars series published by Dark Horse; therefore, it has to be on the Top 10 Dark Horse Star Wars Comics list. But putting it on the list just because it is the first is silly. Dark Empire was a huge hit and, as a result, paved the way for the rest of Dark Horse’s run of Star Wars. When it came out, fans were hungry for a return to the galaxy far, far away and wanted to know what happened after Return of the Jedi. Tom Veitch’s story was so compelling that similar threads were seen in The Rise of Skywalker. Cam Kennedy’s use of watercolor art had also been a topic of conversation. Dark Empire ran for six issues as a bi-monthly series and told the story of the New Republic’s battle with Imperial remnants six years after the Battle of Endor, the return of a cloned Emperor, and Luke’s turn to the dark side. It was popular enough for two sequels: Dark Empire 2 (1994-1995) and Empire’s End (1995).

The Surprising Reason Why The Last Jedi Is Not Actually Anti-Jedi
“It’s time for the Jedi to end” That is what Luke Skywalker told Rey when she met him back on Ahch-To. The idea was that not only he, Luke, needed to go, but the entire Jedi Order should die along with him as well. It was a sign of just how far into despair Luke fell, that he was giving up not only on himself, but the entire Jedi ideal as well. It was the idea that everything about the Jedi should die in order for the war to die.

Palpatine Himself Confirms Why He Let Rey’s Father (A Failed Clone) Live
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker gave us a lot of answers to questions about the series for better and for worse. One of the biggest mysteries of the sequel trilogy was the identity of Rey’s parents. The Last Jedi took the stance that Rey’s parents were nobody, and while this may have been true from a certain point of view, The Rise of Skywalker gave us the true answer to Rey’s parentage. In the film, we learned that Rey was a Palpatine, and her father was a clone of the infamous Sith Lord. However, it did raise the question of why would Palpatine let one of his clones escape especially since he was later revealed to be a failed clone. Well, a new Star Wars tie-in has finally answered that question.

Palpatine's Greatest Power Is Also His Greatest Weakness
There are many instances in Star Wars where fans can speculate about what an individual's powers mean and how strong they actually are compared to others. We know Anakin is said to be the Jedi with the most raw power who then embraces his darker side and makes the transition to the Sith. Emperor Palpatine is more of an anomaly than most when fully understanding the power and the true magnitude of the damage he can do.

Opinion: An Examination Of Luke Vs Rey As Relatable Characters
One of the biggest criticisms of Rey in The Force Awakens is that she’s a Mary Sue; an over-powered heroine who can do no wrong. It’s hard to counter given Rey’s CV: she beats up two bandits who try to take BB8, she flies the Millennium Falcon expertly, she then suffers her one defeat; when Kylo subdues her but this then leads to her rebuking him with the Force when he tries to interrogate her. Rey then pulls the Jedi mind trick on a stormtrooper so she can escape and, finally, defeats Kylo in a lightsaber duel.
