Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismWhy Does Darth Vader Seem So Much More Powerful In 'Rogue One' Than In 'A New Hope?'
People love Darth Vader. And people love lightsaber fights. Some especially love when these two things combined result in them saying, "Oh my gosh! Vader is freakin' sick! What a total badass!" But I digress. What this article is really addressing is the different depictions of Darth Vader's fighting styles in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, which take place consecutively in that order.

Luke Skywalker’s way of becoming a Jedi Knight was quite different from that of his predecessors. For “a thousand generations” younglings got to train together in the Jedi Temple under the tutelage of wise Jedi Knights and Masters, who could hope to be chosen as Padawans later on and go on various missions with their Masters across the galaxy, until they passed their trials and became Knights as well. All in all, Jedi training took far more than a decade, sometimes nearly two, and all Jedi had the possibility to go back to the Temple anytime to continue their studies and their training.

At the end of The Mandalorian Season 2, we saw Grogu leaving with Luke Skywalker, seemingly out of Din Djarin’s life forever. Boba Fett returned to rule Jabba the Hutt’s former crime syndicate with Fennec Shand at his side. The plot for Season 3 and the spinoff The Book of Boba Fett remained open. What is Din Djarin’s next move post-Grogu? What is Bo Katan’s response to Din Djarin being the rightful owner of the Darksaber. What shenanigans can Boba Fett whip up out of his new base at Jabba’s palace? This character from Star Wars Legends would fit perfectly into the timeline of both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in Futurism5 Things That Don't Make Sense About Princess Leia
This week, I was asked to pen an article about ten things that don't make sense about Princess Leia, which I have found to be an exceedingly difficult task, especially when I am really only familiar with her role in eight of the Star Wars films and some of Legends materials. However, it looks like I am only getting halfway there. It is entirely possible that, since I haven't read a lot of the comics or Canon books, including novelizations, there may be answers to some of my questions there, so please just bear with me. Also, there will be spoilers for several movies. So here is my list, in no particular order, of five things that don't make sense about our favorite "Space Mom," Princess Leia.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismOrder 66 Neurologically Damaged the Clones. Why The Empire REALLY Replaced The Clones
The rise of the clone troopers is very well documented in the Star Wars saga. In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, we learned that a mysterious Jedi Sifo-Dyas commissioned the Kaminoans to build and train a massive clone army to be used as the standing army for the Republic. Star Wars: The Clone Wars series depict the clone troopers in action as they travel to combat zones to fight the droids of the Separatist. With Star Wars: The Bad Batch, we will see how they fare in the time after they have executed Order 66 and destroy almost all the Jedi, which we can argue is their real purpose for existence.

Darth Vader is a character we all know and love unless you were one of the two billion people on Alderaan. If you were, you were probably really upset with your princess and senator from the afterlife. Not everyone gets to be a Force ghost. Aside from that, Darth Vader seems like a pretty cool guy, right? Well, there are more than a few things about him that would make any simple man making his way in the galaxy raise an eyebrow.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in Futurism‘The Last Jedi’ is the Best of the New Trilogy
I’ve never met George Lucas, but judging by most of his selfies with Star Wars fans; I can’t help but wonder if he regrets making the Original all those years ago. Like that’s the face of a man who is happy to be rich and yet the true cost was his soul and creative expression because everything else he’s ever done has been judged against Star Wars.

Mark Hamill himself has never been afraid to express his feelings toward the sequel trilogy, especially with his performance as Luke Skywalker in the first installment of the sequel trilogy, The Force Awakens. It is well known that Luke Skywalker had no lines in that film, and Mark Hamill has often mocked this decision.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismMore 'Andor' Set Photos Leaked From A New Interesting Place
New movies or shows with major fan followings always run the risk of leaks here and there. As the internet has made people more and more connected, the chances of leaks for a show or movie have grown a lot in recent years. That chance grows astronomically when a series of shows set in the same universe is announced at one time and begins filming almost concurrently. Star Wars is a series that has certainly had its fair share of leaks, and there have been several in the past few weeks. One of the most recent leaks comes in the form of some set photos from the new Disney+ series Andor.
