New Posters Show Off The Lightsabers In 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series is just around the corner and we cannot wait to see Ewan McGregor reprise his role as our favorite Jedi from the prequels. Fans of the franchise have been finding it difficult to curb their enthusiasm since the trailer for the miniseries dropped on Star Wars day, May the fourth. On May 11th, the official Twitter account of the series released images of five lightsabers that belong to important characters in the series, which can all be unlocked by followers by liking the tweet. The lightsabers that were revealed belong to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Reva (also known as the Third Sister), Fifth Brother, and the Grand Inquisitor.

New Photo Of Hayden Christensen In Lightsaber Training Complete With Cape Revealed
"This is where the fun begins." These are the legendary words of Anakin Skywalker as he flew in to rescue then-Chancellor Palpatine alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi in the opening scene of Revenge of the Sith. I would say the line is also very appropriate in regards to Obi-Wan Kenobi, the upcoming six-episode miniseries premiering on Disney+ on May 27. Headed by Deborah Chow, whose previous works include directing two episodes of The Mandalorian, the series will follow the titular Jedi as he temporarily leaves Tatooine to presumably lead the Inquisitors away from discovering the young Luke Skywalker on the desert planet. As he is pursued by the Inquisitors, Obi-Wan will go on a journey that will lead to another confrontation with his fallen apprentice, Darth Vader. While Ewan McGregor's return to the role of Obi-Wan is undoubtedly the biggest draw for the series, another major selling point for many, myself included, is the return of Hayden Christensen to the role of Anakin Skywalker.

To Kill a God
“Have you ever seen one before? A human?” “No.” “ I've only heard the legends.” Davin heard from two gawking onlookers as he was walking on lux-43, the 5th planet in the lombx system. He smiled to himself, he loved the agape mouths and awestruck bystanders he got when he decided to take to the streets. Humans were a rarity, an enigma that even the most well versed traveler usually never saw. This fascination was due to more than just the simple sparseness of the ancient race however. Humans were the epitome of a warrior race, every child in every solar system had heard tales of the fearsomeness, courage, strength, and endurance of humans. Living on earth for so long had molded these mythical creatures to become the peak of sentience. The high gravity sculpting their muscles, making the athletic prowess of them next to god-like. The many diseases and illnesses harbored there had made them effectively immune to all biological ailments. All features of earth had tailored these beings into the unstoppable killing machines that caused fear to all races across all lands for generations.

Rabbi Aryeh Cohen Minneapolis: Jewish Tradition in Modern Life
Jewish culture is rich with stories and traditions that help us grow as people and make sense of the world. How can we take these invaluable resources and use them to enrich our own lives? Our most basic desire is to be true to ourselves, to live a life that reflects who we are and how we want to live. But how can we do this in a world that constantly tries to tell us who we are, where we belong, and what we should believe? Jewish tradition has wonderful ideas about being authentic, fair-minded individuals in a chaotic world. It also has some great truths about current events that impact our daily lives. When used responsibly—and with an open mind—these teachings can be a source of comfort, inspiration, and self-improvement.

The Year 2200
I have never seen a tree, a blade of grass, the ocean or even a mountain. The country side only exists in old adventure movies and fantasy books. Cities of endless concrete and chrome range across the United States of America and I live right in the center of New York.

Ewan McGregor Questioned His Role As Obi-Wan In The Prequel Trilogy
Star Wars would be nothing without Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Jedi Master trained both Anakin and Luke Skywalker. He played an essential part in both of their lives and is an important character in the bigger picture of Star Wars as well. Most recently, he's been portrayed by Ewan McGregor in the prequel films, which at the time got less than stellar reviews. This was so discouraging that Ewan McGregor even rethought his role as the beloved Obi-Wan Kenobi.

BEST BEAUTY PRODUCTS FOR 2022: ARIES EDITION
Aries season always arrives with a bang and no small dose of spring fever and a relentless drive to win! Out of all the signs, it’s no secret that Aries is the most competitive of them all. Never have we ever met an Aries who did not work hard, play harder! It’s the nature of fire signs, but even more so for the relentlessly ambitious Aries. Being at the top comes naturally to this sign, and when you’re at the top, you simply must have to have the best of the best. They’re drawn to the hottest beauty trends and often more extreme procedures like peels, lasers, and anything intense.

Playing hard has definitely been proven to show on our skin, and the same can be said for this tenacious sign! This can leave their skin a little worse for the wear and in need of a little TLC and a solid, comforting routine. After all, the next competition is just around the corner!
