“Your overconfidence is your weakness.” — Luke Skywalker “Your faith in your friends is yours.” — The Emperor This classic exchange between Luke Skywalker and Darth Sidious in Return of the Jedi seems to be taking on new meaning with the Emperor’s return in the sequel trilogy.

Live-Action 'Pinocchio' Announced, Starring Tom Hanks And Streaming on Disney+ in 2022
This past Disney+ Day on November 12th revealed several new upcoming series and features coming to Disney+ in the next months and years. While MCU content seemed to be the main focus of Disney+ Day, other long-time Disney properties are seeing new life on the hit streaming service in the near future, including a live-action version of the classic Disney animated movie, Pinocchio, which was originally released in 1940. Although there have been numerous live-action adaptations of classic Disney properties in recent years released theatrically and to home video, this movie release will be exclusive to Disney+, and is expected to start streaming on the platform in Fall 2022. Even though it will not be released theatrically, as the other live-action adaptations have been, it will nonetheless be featuring some serious star talent in the form of none other than Tom Hanks, who will be playing the role of the Geppetto, the titular puppet-turned-real boy's creator. Tom Hanks is not the only major star talent signed on to the film. The film itself will be directed by Director Robert Zemeckis, of Roger Rabbit fame, and will also star Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, Luke Evans, and Cynthia Erivo.

This Anakin Skywalker Theory Solves One Of ‘Star Wars' Biggest Problems
One of the criticisms that Revenge of the Sith had to face was that Anakin’s fall to the Dark Side was too abrupt. True, there were troubling signs in the young Padawan and later Jedi that pointed in this direction, like his overconfidence and arrogance, or the cold-blooded slaughtering of a whole Tusken village without remorse. Still, during most of the prequel trilogy he was portrayed much more like a hero than a villain.

Why The First Act Of 'The Force Awakens' Is A Random Mess
One of the major issues in The Force Awakens is that the story beats lack a clear understanding of causation. Things happen because they need to happen. Somebody has concocted all these disparate set pieces beforehand and chronologized them, but no thought was given on how to move the characters from Point A to Point B to Point C. On the other hand, in A New Hope, Luke Skywalker comes into possession of two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, which leads him to meet Obi-Wan Kenobi, and that starts his adventures. In The Force Awakens, Rey comes into possession of BB-8, which leads her to meet Fin, and that starts her adventures.

Did A 'Star Wars' Comic Foreshadow Hayden Christensen's Return And Hint At Character Arc?
It has been confirmed for a while now that Hayden Christiansen will be returning to his role as Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming Star Wars Disney+ show Ahsoka, alongside Rosario Dawson. Anakin Skywalker was deemed to be The Chosen One who was a central figure in a Jedi prophecy that would bring balance to the Force and destroy the Sith. The prophecy also said that The Chosen One would become the strongest Force-sensitive in the entire galaxy. It has long been a matter of debate as to exactly what bringing balance to the Force actually meant to the Star Wars universe and it has never been truly clarified.

Did You Know Grand Moff Tarkin Protected The Rebellion Before 'A New Hope'
In Star Wars: A New Hope, Grand Moff Tarkin aggressively attempts to show the Empire's power by destroying the Rebel planet of Alderaan. This incident demonstrates how the Empire and the aura of the dark side made a once patient General, into a fierce symbol of terror. This is an unambiguous transformation within Tarkin that A New Hope exhibits. In the 2017 comic, Darth Vader #13, Tarkin was more patient and less fierce. In Tarkin's early years leading the Empire, he was strict about using deadly force, restricting its use to only when it was justifiable. This reasoning changes many years later when the Empire captures Princess Leia and Tarkin orders the planet of Alderaan destroyed.
