Civilisation
Algerian Prime was a unique planet. With three suns, there were only a few hours each day when it was dark. This was one of Aldon’s favourite times of the day and he would try to take a shuttle out to a remote place and look back at the city. It was difficult at first to find somewhere, but when he did, he always used that place to sit and reflect on all they had achieved.

When Temuera Morrison wrapped filming for his part as Clone Commander Cody (and a few other soldiers of the Grand Army of The Republic) on the set of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of The Sith, he probably thought that this was the last time the audience would see his face in moving pictures within the far away galaxy. Although George Lucas had Morrison re-dub Boba Fett’s lines (there aren’t that many) for the DVD release of the original trilogy in 2004, it seemed that the future of the notorious bounty hunter would lie with someone else: fellow New Zealand actor Daniel Logan, who had played the unaltered clone son of Jango Fett in Episode II – Attack of The Clones and would go on to voice Fett in five episodes of The Clone Wars.

WARNING: SPOILERS for season 2 of The Mandalorian, and seasons 3 and 4 of Star Wars: Rebels. As viewers begin the long wait for a new season of The Mandalorian, we are left with more time to absorb what we have already seen. One of the most interesting elements of the second season was the live-action debut of the Darksaber, a powerful Mandalorian weapon. While the Darksaber will be new to those who have only watched live-action Star Wars content, the weapon already has a deep history in animated Star Wars media.

Every Star Wars fan who is not currently living under a rock is still talking about (and perhaps even rewatching) the most recent surprising moment in the franchise. That moment in this instance being the classic iconic character Luke Skywalker's appearance in the season 2 finale of the hit Disney+ series titled The Mandalorian. Even Mark Hamill is a fan of his character's debut in the show. How could he not be? In the tweet (which can be seen below), Hamill expresses a sentiment that many fans can relate to. "Sometimes the greatest gifts are the most unexpected," the tweet says in part. While few were expecting the appearance of Luke Skywalker, many were moved to tears by his arrival. Not only due to his most impressive display of Force mastery and lightsaber technique, but because of what his presence meant for Mando and Baby Yoda. The emotional and action-packed conclusion to The Mandalorian's second season is regarded by many as the best episode to date, in no small part because of the appearance of Luke.

Nature expands the heart and connects us deeply, but it is also an intense uncertainty and death anxiety. Long ago we began to shape nature to feel more safe and certain. More shape and structure moved us further and further away from the place that expands our heart. Wild and free plant life is banned in major cities. Allowing nature to be free is literally not allowed. We can only tolerate seeing nature through our symbolic conquering of its death and uncertainty. We mechanized behavior with money. We ran so far from nature we forgot that we are part of nature. If we had nature as our self concept, we would see that we restrict nature we restrict humanity along with it.

Did you know that The earliest cosmological models of the universe were developed by ancient Greek and Indian philosophers and were geocentric, placing Earth at the center. Over the centuries, more precise astronomical observations led Nicolaus Copernicus to develop the heliocentric model with the Sun at the center of the Solar System. In developing the law of universal gravitation, Isaac Newton built upon Copernicus's work as well as Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion and observations by Tycho Brahe.
