Facts About Bail Organa Only Die Hard Fans Will Know
Bail Prestor Organa was a prominent political figure in the age of the Galactic Republic and the early years of the Imperial era, representing the Alderaan Sector in the Galactic Senate. As close friends with other senators such as Padmé Amidala and Mon Mothma, he was a passionate advocate for peace, and a fighter against tyranny, dedicating his efforts in de-escalating the conflict during the Clone Wars and supporting the Rebel Alliance after the fall of the Republic. With the enormous variety of characters in the Star Wars universe, Bail Organa rarely got the spotlight in the movies and television series. What we do know is that he is a keen character for the light.

We Could Return To This Forgotten Planet In 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
The Mandalorian has done a great job of showcasing different worlds in the Star Wars galaxy. Lots of them are new, but there are also familiar ones like Tatooine and Tython. As such, there has been talk about whether we may see another familiar planet in season 3 or beyond. One that has not been showcased onscreen very much in recent years. And there is a possible precedent for its possible appearance, given the Legends references on the show and how willing the creative team is to pull certain things from Legends.

Are We Entering A Golden Age Of 'Star Wars'?
Since Disney’s buyout of Star Wars, many have wondered what amount of content we would get from Lucasfilm now that it had all the power and resources of Disney under its command. The first real wave of Star Wars was 2013-2019, when we got five movies and two television series, along with many books. It was a good effort with some great content. However, now it seems that things are really ramping up. We are getting several television shows in one year. While the movies have been spaced out, they do seem to want to be on their A game when it comes to making these films. On the book side we have an entire multimedia event in The High Republic, and a few games are beginning to trickle their way in with the new Knights of the Old Republic remake. We might be entering a new Golden Age of Star Wars.

Rumor: Doctor Strange To Face A Huge Dilemma In His Sequel

Before he was the Sorcerer Supreme, he was a gifted neurosurgeon, which means he had to take the Hippocratic Oath pledging to do no harm. But as the Sorcerer Supreme, he has also vowed to protect reality by whatever means necessary, a vow that could very well mean doing harm against threats to reality.

You Would Never Believe Where Luke Learned Lightsaber Combat From
Luke Skywalker has been a fan favorite character since the debut of Star Wars in 1977. The plucky moisture farmer defied the Empire and inspired fans everywhere with his optimism, clear moral compass, and one-in-a-million shot to bring down the first dreaded Death Star. As the saga progressed, we saw Luke grow into his own, claim the title of Jedi Knight, and resist the seduction of the Dark Side. Luke went through a lot of growth and development over the course of four years fighting in the Galactic Civil War. His training as a Jedi was paramount to these steps and his evolution as a character. While most Star Wars fans are well versed in the lessons taught to him by his Jedi teachers, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Grand Master Yoda, Luke benefitted from another instructor. While this tertiary teacher was no Jedi and could not touch the Force, he was nevertheless a dangerous combat instructor and educated Luke in many of the forms of lightsaber combat, albeit in an arrogant and condescending way.

Resurfaced Comments From Simu Liu Could Stop 'Shang-Chi' China Release
With its Chinese-born star, exploration of Asian culture, and box office success in the United States, it looked like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings would be a hit in China. Due to its large population, U.S. films that are released there often make large amounts of box office receipts. However, China heavily regulates which U.S. films get released in the country. And prior negative comments by a person associated with a U.S. film looking to be released in China will often stop the film from being released in China.

Meet The Heroes Behind 'Star Wars: Visions'
"A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one" accurately sums up my thoughts on the soon to be released Star Wars: Visions. Anime has never been a genre I've ever been drawn to, except for Pokemon and the original DragonBall Z. However, when I saw the trailer for Visions, I thought it looked amazing.
