Why Red Kyber Crystals Are So Dangerous To Obtain
One of the most mysterious and amazing enigmas in the Star Wars universe is for sure the Kyber crystals. As you may know, Kyber crystals are the heart of a lightsaber, and what gives the saber its power and color. In Star Wars Legends, lightsabers got their color from all different sorts of gems and crystals, yet Sith used synthetic crystals for their red sabers.

March 5th marked the 3-year anniversary of the thrilling Star Wars Rebels series finale, the last time we've seen young Jedi Ezra Bridger and fan favorite villain Grand Admiral Thrawn onscreen. Carried off into the Unknown Regions by hyperspace-faring creatures, their fate was and continues to largely be a mystery. The finale, while entertaining and satisfying, left the audience with questions galore. Where have they gone? Did they have to put their differences aside to survive a strange uncharted planet? How did they survive the vacuum of space with the bridge of the Chimera breached? Many Star Wars fans expected these questions to be answered in the Ahsoka or Rangers of the New Republic shows coming to Disney+.

Since the release of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Kathleen Kennedy has received very mixed opinions from the fans. The fans of the sequel trilogy love her and think she is taking Star Wars to the next level, yet some fans of the prequel and original trilogy, absolutely despise her, and believe she has ruined Star Wars for them. Since Lucasfilm was purchased by The Walt Disney Company in 2012, they have received major criticism from some fans citing Kennedy’s creative decisions as what to blame.

The arrival of Bo-Katan Kryze in The Mandalorian was one of the things about season 2 that was generally well received. It helped that she was portrayed by Katee Sackhoff, who voiced the character in The Clone Wars and Rebels and looks enough like her. (Or perhaps, rather, the character looks a lot like her, as it is not unheard of for animated characters to be modeled after their voice actors.) Throughout the two animated shows, fans saw her connections to other Mandalorians and how she plays into the journey of the Darksaber, which later appeared in the live-action series in the hands of Moff Gideon. Season 2 left matters of the Darksaber on a cliffhanger note, leading to speculation from fans that Din Djarin may have to go up against Bo-Katan as they deal with matters that may pertain more to Mandalore.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." The first words to appear on screen for a little movie released in 1977, known then as simply - Star Wars (later changed to Episode 4 A New Hope). No one could have possibly known the impact this movie would have and how it would completely change cinema and movie making as we know it.

Since Disney obtained the Star Wars license, they have been putting their new characters front and center (for the most part) over the popular characters of the series' past. Their protagonists, for better or for worse, always tend to draw strong emotions from the fan base. The two seemingly mentioned the most these days happen to be Rey and Grogu, the latter often nicknamed 'Baby Yoda' by fans. There doesn't seem to be much connecting the two on the surface, but some fans have given a deeper look to draw some comparisons to the two Force users. It seems that, beneath it all, there is some overlap, and now even Daisy Ridley herself has commented on the comparisons being done.

For some time now, Disney+’s original series Andor has been shrouded in mystery since its announcement. One of the things that we have been certain about for a long time now is that Diego Luna is returning to reprise his role as Cassian Andor. Amidst the mystery, there have been rumors, such as that Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi could be making an appearance in the upcoming Andor series. If this particular report is true, then it could mean seeing another great Kenobi moment after Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. How or why are questions all fans are asking. Many fans suspect that Kenobi will cross paths with Cassian, thanks to Senator Bail Organa. Senator Organa is one of the leaders of the Rebellion, and is good friends with Obi-Wan, so it would make sense to connect Kenobi’s cameo to Senator Organa.

Created to support the Jedi in their defense of the Republic, the clone army was composed of some of the bravest and most committed troopers the galaxy had ever seen. Had the entire army not been compromised by the Sith invitro, there is no doubt that the Grand Army of the Republic would have loyally defended the galaxy for years. While there are numerous valiant clones who fought to combat the Separatist threat, there are few to distinguish themselves to the level of the following individuals.

So let's get this out of the way. We all love how Obi-Wan Kenobi says "Hello there!" and "I have the high ground!" But in making this list, I tried to go with quotes that are not so obvious. My list could change over time, of course, but here's what I am thinking at the moment.

The majority of Star Wars movies were filmed outside of a dedicated soundstage. Tunisia was the desert of Tatooine. Redwood National Park in California was the forest of Endor. The island of Skellig Michael off the coast of Ireland was Ahch-To, the planet in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi where the exiled Master Luke Skywalker resided. A certain Londoner was inspired by something he encountered in his daily life, and decided to use it as a set for his movie.
