How Star Wars Legends Saved the EU
The Star Wars Expanded Universe has been a staple of the fandom for decades, going back really to the first Star Wars Novel Splinter of the Mind’s Eye which was the unofficial continuation of the saga back when George himself wasn’t even sure if he was going to make a sequel or not. From 1991 - 2012 the post Endor books and comics were considered by many fans to be the true continuation of the Saga. That was until 2012 and the Disney buyout when they decided to more or less reboot the Expanded Universe with the exception of the Six films and the Clone Wars series. However what many people may not have expected is that by going under the monogram of Star Wars legends, that might have saved the Expanded Universe in ways many people have yet to fully appreciate.

Why 'The Last Jedi' Is A Love Letter To 'Star Wars'
The Last Jedi is a controversial film among Star Wars fans; some love it, and some hate it. Many think that it is a slap in the face to all Star Wars and what came before it. Many have accused to it of being anti-Star Wars, anti-fan, and a blight on the franchise. However, many people fail to realize the meta-story being told within this film, and the overall themes and ideas of the film as a love letter to Star Wars and Star Wars fandom by showing us that, for all it’s apparent faults, Star Wars still has much value in our world and for the future. Despite challenging Star Wars in some ways, it is in many ways the most pro-Star Wars movie ever.

Upcoming Book 'Shadow Of The Sith' Could Answer Some Questions From The Sequel Trilogy
Lucasfilm and its publishing partners are starting to fill the 30-year gap between the end of Return of the Jedi and the beginning of The Force Awakens with new stories. By doing so, they hope to remedy some of the plot holes of the sequel trilogy as a whole and The Rise of Skywalker especially. So far most of the books and comics that have been published in this era were set relatively close to the Battle of Endor, like Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath, or Alexander Freed’s Alphabet Squadron trilogy, which deals with the Empire’s last stand at Jakku, and the seemingly disappearance of its remnants into the Unknown Regions after that. Other books were set more closely to the sequel trilogy, like the stories of Rey, Finn, and Poe before they met in The Force Awakens. There are a few exceptions that give us a hint at the state of the galaxy between the formation of the New Republic and the rise of the First Order, like Claudia Gray’s Bloodline, that covers the end of Leia’s political career after her heritage becomes public knowledge and the growing schism in the New Republic into a more peaceful and a more aggressive faction.

Watch Emperor Palpatine Use Real Lightning Against Luke Skywalker
Regardless of whether you think the Jedi or the Sith is cooler or better than the other, Force lightning has always been awesome! From the minute we first saw Emperor Palpatine blast Luke with Force lightning in Return of the Jedi, we all collectively thought, “Whoa! I wanna shoot lightning from my fingertips!” It was so cool and impactful that it has become a staple for both Star Wars and the villainous Sith to this day. It has been used in some form in almost every Star Wars project that follows. Force lightning does not just have to be the thing of schoolyard dreams now because a clever fan has given us real life Force lightning!

How Anakin Can Fit Into The 'Ahsoka' Series
As we all know Ahsoka Tano made her live action debut in The Mandalorian. It was a moment many of us had been waiting for. There is a lot of love for the Togruta Jedi among the Star Wars fan base. She has been such an engaging and well fleshed out character from the moment she was introduced in the Clone Wars animated movie and the subsequent animated series. Ahsoka is genuinely the character in Star Wars I hold most dear. She embodies everything that is right. She also perfectly highlights the flaws of the Jedi Order during this time period when she chooses to leave the Order. It is no surprise that we would see her star in her own spin-off series.

It is currently scheduled to be released July 28, 2023, barring any other schedule changes. After the announcement made recently, this may not even be soon enough for fans dying to see what this film is going to focus on.

Horror Icons That Would Be Absolutely Terrifying If They Could Wield The Force
I remember leaving the midnight showing of Rogue One with my mate Lewis. It was like 3 AM. Both of us enjoyed the film, but that ending just blew our minds. You know the scene I am talking about. That hallway scene with Darth Vader is like something out of a horror movie. This is a side of Vader that no one has ever seen on screen before. He is more akin to a slasher villain, the true embodiment of fear and the brutality of the Dark Side. Just hacking and slashing. This is probably the closest we will ever get to a horror movie set within Star Wars.

With the Halloween season upon us, our minds turn to the spooky and the macabre as pumpkins become Jack-o-lanterns and children don all manner of costumes to roam the neighborhood in pursuit of a sugar high. The realm of goblins, ghouls, ghosts and gore certainly isn't limited to our planet. We've recently seen what the Marvel universe would look like after being ravaged by a zombie virus from the Quantum Realm and Star Wars got into the holiday spirit with LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales.
