Why ‘Rogue Squadron’ Really Should Be A Disney+ Series
Star Wars Rogue Squadron will potentially be the next great Star Wars film to come to theaters near us, hopefully in 2023. Directed by Patty Jenkins, very little is known about this film, only that it will have the name of the famous X-Wing Squadron that helped the Rebel Alliance defeat the Evil Empire during the Galactic Civil War. First introduced in the Legends X-Wing Novel Series by Michael Stackpool, the name is famous among the Star Wars fandom. Whether or not the movie will have anything to do with the books of Legends is yet to be known, however one thing that has come to mind with this author is the following question; Should it be a movie at all, maybe it should be a Disney+ series?

The use of space metals did not begin with human exploration flights, but several centuries before it, after the use of fragments of meteorites falling on Earth in various industries, but the matter constituted a very big leap with spaceflight and the discovery of large quantities of nickel, iron, platinum, cobalt and others sporadically, whether on the moon or On Mars or in small asteroids.

The Most Impressive Things A Non-Force User Has Done In ‘Star Wars’
Force users such as the Jedi and the Sith have frequently been the focal point of Star Wars content, showcasing the astonishing feats one could do with the power of the Force from influencing others' thoughts via mind tricks to lifting enormous objects with their minds. Non-Force users, on the other hand, also have a long track record and their fair share of impressive feats throughout lore. While the list is certainly non-exhaustive, a few are highlighted below to show the diverse nature of power and influence a non-Force user has in the galaxy far, far away.

The History Of Star Wars' Master Manipulator
Throughout Star Wars media, for better or worse, there has always been one master antagonist either pulling the strings or attempting to prevent our heroes from winning: Sheev Palpatine. Although Palpatine is a universally known character, not all may be familiar with his story and how he came to be the most powerful Sith in the galaxy.

How 'Star Wars: Queen's Hope' Offers New Insight Into Padmé And Anakin's Relationship
Before Reylo, no romantic relationship in Star Wars had been rockier than that of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. Brought on by naïve young love and solidified by secrets and war, Anakin and Padmé's marriage is essentially the franchise's equivalent to Romeo and Juliet, complete with a tragic ending that brings their previous lives to a bitter end. Their relationship also comes with a decent amount of baggage from how it was handled in the prequel trilogy. From the Shakespearean dialogue to Padmé's willingness to marry someone who slaughtered a village of men, women and children, writing for Anakin and Padmé in subsequent material is far from an easy task. However, this hasn't stopped writers from expanding upon their romance in ways that help it feel more natural and true to their characters. One certain writer who has done this especially well is none other than E.K. Johnston.

'Star Wars: Andor' To Feature Death Troopers and Mudtroopers
None of the Star Wars series coming to Disney+ are still more mysterious than Star Wars: Andor. This up-and-coming Disney+ series is set to take place before the film Rogue One starring that movie’s titular character Cassian Andor. Many suspect this will be a spy thriller detailing some of the earlier adventures of the Rebel Alliance as they fight the oppression of the Galactic Empire. Set during the Dark Times, we know that the Empire will have many forces under its disposal. Recently it was revealed that a few variants of the Imperial forces have been leaked, and we can now give details on what is to come.

From Dust to Meteorite
Meteors and meteorites Meteors and meteorites are two nouns which in fact define the same interplanetary object, with the difference that the second reaches the ground, as we explained in the page dedicated to meteoroid classes. Both are meteoroids originating from the decay of comets or fragments of asteroids and were formed billions of years ago. Most meteorites are microscopic and vaporize in dense layers of the atmosphere. The fragments which have withstood atmospheric friction are usually “heavy weights”, remnants of rocks originally measuring a few centimeters to several tens of meters in diameter and weighing up to several hundred tons. Of course, such meteorite falls are extremely rare, and it is fortunate for the human species. How many meteorites fall on Earth? With each passing day, millions of microparticles of a tenth of a millimeter cover the earth’s surface. The quantity of meteoroids hitting the upper atmosphere each day varies between 0.4 and 110 tonnes per day with an estimated maximum of 300 tonnes per day (cf. CS Gradner et al., 2014), which brings the average to 33 tonnes depending on the NASA. Most of this dust burns in the atmosphere and does not reach the ground

I would like to be able to say The Subatomic Kid is an autobiography. I would like to, but I can’t, because it isn’t. It’s a fantasy, an adventure story that happens over a weekend, and the only adults watching are the ones that have an urge to bend the world to their will. But it is my story, the one I would have wanted to happen, the one that would prove my life up until my teens wasn’t in vain.

If you're a fan of comic books, you know that two major companies around the world - Marvel and DC - make entertainment content based on those books. The slightly darker side that some superpower movie buffs barely realize is about a renewed feud between the two companies. Of course, it is not the struggle of good against evil, but of a struggle over revenue, competitive position, and imaginary worlds.
