A Loverless Fate - Entry 1
When all of us are born, we have writing on the inside of each of our middle fingers. On the right hand is our name, and on the left hand is the name of our future lover. If there is no name, our lover hasn’t been born yet, or our lover is dead.

With the large amount of Star Wars content currently available, and much more close on the horizon, it can be difficult to keep straight when and where everything happens in a galaxy far, far away. Before diving into such projects as The Bad Batch, The Acolyte, and The High Republic books and comics, a quick refresher on the current Star Wars timeline is certainly in order. Here is a compiled chronological list of all canonical Star Wars movies and TV shows, including information about the year it was released and where it falls in the timeline relative to A New Hope; events are noted to be Before the Battle of Yavin (BBY) or After the Battle of Yavin (ABY).

One of the biggest surprises in The Mandalorian series was Luke Skywalker. In the second season, it was discovered that Grogu, also known as “Baby Yoda” before his name reveal, needed a Jedi master to train him and find his latent abilities with the Force. Immediately, fans took the internet by storm with all their theories of which Jedi were left to be able to train Grogu. Of course, Ahsoka was off the table since she already said she couldn’t. The theories included many Jedi, including the one it turned out to be, which in itself seemed somewhat doubtful: Luke Skywalker.

It is the kind of mission I’ve grown tired of doing. I am jaded and weary, a lethal combination of attributes to possess on one’s final mission of their final deployment. Weariness wears away at a soldier’s ability to react. Makes them complacent. And complacency is a death sentence to someone in my position.

Tora inspected the bruises under her eyes and above her eyebrows, she pulled her cheeks between her teeth to stretch the muscles that had been suctioned under the protective equipment. The young doctor made her way towards the Q-Ward exit and leaned her worn body over the reception desk to take the sign-out sheet.

I was aroused faintly at first by tinkling bells. Then the noise grew louder and louder as I came to. I finally opened my eyes only a slit.
L.A. Moore - NashPublished 3 years ago in FuturismThe Messenger
A hole was developing in the bindings on his right foot. The word shoe had been left miles behind in a ripped and tangled trip hazard. This dune should bring him to The End. He’d been saying that for hours now. Or was it days? The sharp grass stabbing the arch of his foot brought him quickly out of the mental drift; concentration needed, watch the footing.
Dominic McGowanPublished 3 years ago in FuturismTHE EXTRATERRESTRIAL PROBABILITY
As a species, we can no longer believe that humans are the center of the universe. Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is just one galaxy of a couple other trillion galaxies in the “observable universe” – which is only the region of universe that can be observed from Earth. There are more than 2,500 other solar systems (stars with orbiting planets) in our galaxy that we have found so far. Mathematically speaking, if one planet in a solar system is home to an extraterrestrial species, that would equate to 2,500 other species of beings that share our same galaxy alone – now multiply that by a trillion. It would be naïve, and dangerous, for us to continue believing no other life exist in the universe besides our own. It would also be naïve, and dangerous, for us to believe the intelligence communities of Earth have nothing to hide.

When Din Djarin put Grogu on the seeing stone in the ancient temple on Tython and The Child started his Force Zoom call, we all knew that we would eventually get to see the person on the receiving end of this communication. But what we didn’t know at this time was whom it would be. Some hoped for a live-action debut of Ezra Bridger. (We will probably have to wait for this a little longer.). Others thought that it would be Cal Kestis from the Jedi: Fallen Order video game. Some even imagined that Mace Windu would show up, having miraculously survived his fall from Palpatine’s office.
