Where Could Qi'ra Return Again?
Solo: A Star Wars Story, in my opinion, is in a category of its own making. It is a favorite of mine due to its unique direction and refreshing ideas away from the heavy-hitting events of the main storyline, much like how the future project titled The Acolyte could be. I think the origin of Han was done well and I wish we would get to see Alden Ehrenreich play the smuggler again (we won't, however, as Lucasfilm just announced this week that they are straying away from recasting iconic characters). That is not who I am here to talk about. The question that has been on my mind since I first saw Solo has always been "When will we see Qi'ra again?"

'KOTOR' Remake News To Come In The 'Next Several Months'
Of all of the dozens of Star Wars games to come out in the last thirty years, probably none is as beloved as Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR). With its innovative combat system, rich atmosphere, complex story, and some of the best video game characters of all time, KOTOR is widely seen as the best Star Wars game, and one of the best video games of all time. So, when the remake was announced in September 2021 at the Sony PlayStation showcase, there was immediate fan hype. KOTOR with the latest hardware and graphics? The iconic story retold in a manner where there are basically no restrictions on gameplay and looks? Awesome! The fact that we only got a short teaser with absolutely no details on the game itself only amplified the excitement.

Exclusive Interview With Edward Dodds: From ‘Stargate’ To ‘Star Wars’
Edward Dodds is the editor and contributor to Star Wars: Supernatural Encounters by Joe Bongiorno and contributor to Unauthorized Offworld Activation: Exploring the Stargate Franchise, edited by Rich Handley and Joseph Dilworth Jr. While Edward Dodds might not be a household name for most Stargate or Star Wars fans, his contributions to the more obscure parts of both franchises is noteworthy. I recently interviewed Dodds about his love of science fiction, more specifically two franchises that are similar in many respects, but quite different in others: Stargate and Star Wars. His immense knowledge of these two franchises is impressive, and it had been a joy to pick his brain.

CT-7567: The Legacy And Impact Of Captain Rex
A clone who shares his face with a million brothers, Captain Rex is perhaps one of the most memorable characters throughout Star Wars. Considering he has only made his appearance in animation, one would be hard-pressed to find a character as admired as the captain of the 501st. But what is it about Captain Rex that makes him so endearing? His viewpoint is incredibly unique. He is not a civilian, but he is no Jedi either. His knowledge of the inner workings of the Republic goes far beyond what some senators know, yet he is not blessed with the power of the Force.

Deborah Chow Confirms 4-LOM Isn’t In 'Kenobi'
Yesterday Deborah Chow, Director of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the highly anticipated Disney+ series dropping later this month, spoke to Uproxx about the series. During the interview, she clarified the appearance of a droid that bears a striking resemblance to 4-LOM, the droid bounty hunter briefly featured in Empire. Sadly for fans of the droid bounty hunter, it appears that it isn't 4-LOM in the trailer, but instead a new droid; 1-JAC. In the trailer we see the droid taking shots at Obi-Wan on a rooftop in a city we have never seen before.
