Ewan McGregor Reveals 'Star Wars' Prequel Criticism "Was Quite Difficult" For Him
It is no secret that the Star Wars prequels weren’t very well received by all Star Wars fans. George Lucas wasn’t the only one who took in the harsh criticisms. Recently, Obi-Wan Kenobi himself Ewan McGregor, told The Hollywood Reporter how hard it was for him to see the how the prequels were being received by fans all over the world.

"Good is a point of view, Anakin." - Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. So I'm pretty confident we all remember the opera scene from Episode III. It has generated memes galore, some of which are pretty funny, to be fair. However, it is actually one of the most pivotal scenes in the Skywalker saga. Not just because we see Palpatine begin to properly groom Anakin for a turn to the dark side, but also because, you actually listen to what he says, he makes some good points throughout the film.

The post-credit scene of The Mandalorian season 2 finale showed everyone’s favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett clearing out the den of scum and villainy formerly belonging to Jabba the Hutt, now controlled by his former majordomo Bib Fortuna. As the scene ended with Boba Fett sitting on the throne with Fennec Shand alongside him, fans were promised a new series: The Book of Boba Fett. With Fett now at the top of Jabba the Hutt’s crime syndicate, we can expect to see appearances of other bounty hunters. Some may wish to work for Boba Fett. Others may wish to overthrow him.

One of the critiques that Revenge of the Sith had to face was that it had too much content cramped into it. Episode III has a running time of 140 minutes, which makes it the fourth longest of all Star Wars films (with The Last Jedi topping this list with 152 minutes). But the movie could have been even longer, as there are quite a few scenes that were either filmed but later cut, or that were part of the script but then never made it as far as being put in front of a camera. Shaak Ti alone got two different death scenes that were filmed, none of which made it into the final film. If all of these scenes had been finished and included in the movie, Episode III could have been well over four hours long.

KOTOR fans got some incredible news last week when it was all but confirmed that a remake of Knights of the Old Republic is in the works with Aspyr Media, who were responsible for several ports of the game. While there has been no official confirmation from Aspyr or any other major party involved, the confirmation comes from a couple of reputable sources who both confirmed that they knew that the remake was in development. Also, because of the rather loose confirmation, there are few concrete details surrounding the remake. However, a new rumor was recently revealed regarding the gameplay.

Welcome back, fellow Star Wars fans. Today, we are bringing you something a little special indeed. I would assume that, by now, we are all aware of the fabulous Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge?

Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismEvery Order Palpatine Has Throughout 'Star Wars' (Besides Order 66)
Order 66 is one of the most well known and devastating moments in the Skywalker saga. As Palpatine's evil machinations come to fruition, the trap laid for the Jedi over the course of several decades is sprung. Order 66 is bloody and brutal. Especially for fans of the animated The Clone Wars, seeing the guardians of peace and justice wiped out by their own troopers is heart wrenching. While this Order was the ultimate goal behind the creation of the clone army, there are several other important Contingency Orders instilled in the Kaminoan-created troopers (in Legends, at least). Every trooper is required to memorize these Orders before they are promoted from cadet. Any clone found to be in violation of these Orders would be accused of treason against the Grand Army of the Republic, stripped of rank, and subject to execution.

There are certain questions regarding the original Star Wars trilogy that remain unanswered even after four decades, like why Leia can remember her real mother while Luke cannot. Another of these questions - probably less important, but still persisting for a long time - is why Lando Calrissian seemingly wears Han Solo’s clothes at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.

The Star Wars films are filled with various objects that may not be noticeable right away and are later discovered to have huge stories behind them. An example of this is the dice that Han Solo has on the Millennium Falcon. While these dice are barely noticeable in the original film, the more recent films Solo: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi have emphasized how much meaning there is behind the dice that Han Solo carries. They are now seen as an important part of the character.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in FuturismThe Terrifying Origin Story Behind This Dark Side User?
Throughout the history of Star Wars, we’ve seen the many ways the Jedi were purged from existence across the galaxy. But if the Jedi were eliminated from history, where do Inquisitors come from? This is a question that has been asked by Star Wars fans not in the know, since Inquisitors made their first canonical appearance in Star Wars Rebels. Inquisitors are dark side Force-sensitive beings who serve the Empire and help Lord Vader to hunt down the surviving Jedi throughout the galaxy.
