The Mandalorian Season 2 set out to expand the scope of the show and Din Djarin's world view, or should we say, "galactic view." This was accomplished by introducing him to numerous characters from critical points in the Star Wars timeline, including Luke Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and, perhaps most importantly for Din's character, Bo-Katan Kryze. Portrayed in animation and live-action by Katee Sackhoff, the character of Bo-Katan potentially heralds a deep dive into the world of the Mandalorians. With recent teases that Sackhoff is gearing up to once again portray the fiery Mandalorian warrior, Season 3 of The Mandalorian could herald a visit to Mandalore for the first time in live action.

Many Star Wars fans know the classic story: Skywalker twins are born, they are separated to be hidden from the Emperor, and Ben Kenobi watches over one of them (Luke). There is no doubt that they were to be hidden from the Empire. Ben Kenobi says as much in Return of the Jedi, and we see this play out at the end of Revenge of the Sith. However, a recent theory presents an interesting possibility.

As powerful as Darth Vader was, we are all aware that he faced many difficulties throughout his life, thanks to the suit he lived in. Vader could not breathe properly on his own without the mask, due to the high amount sulfur and carbon he ingested through his lungs during his duel in Mustafar. He also is not able to see without the helmet as his pupils were also extremely damaged as well, yet there is one question that remains to be answered about Vader himself. We all know that he can’t breathe without the mask, or see properly. But the true question is, how does Darth Vader eat?
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismThe Shocking Things Maz Kanata Did In Her Past
Maz Kanata was one of the most interesting characters that were introduced in the sequel trilogy. From the first minute Han, Rey, and the gang arrived at her castle, it immediately left people in awe and full of intrigue. Also, Maz as a character was full of wisdom and demanded respect. She was almost like the sequel trilogy’s Ben Kenobi and for good reason. She was over a millennium old, so there was a certain amount of implied history about Maz Kanata, but it was never really shown in any of the films. In the expanded lore, however, we got a better look at what Maz did before her introduction in The Force Awakens, and it was not what one might be considered Jedi business.

Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismWould Star Wars Adopting A Multiverse Be A Good Idea?
Multiverse! That seems to be the name of the game when it comes to a lot of the major franchises today. Marvel has recently brought up the idea of multiverse. Even DC has brought in the idea with their films, although these are things that go back all the way to the comic books, where there are multiple incarnations of the characters. However, not every franchise has a multiverse. For example, on a technical level Star Wars does not.
