Everything We Know About The 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Show So Far

For several years, there were rumors and reports about a potential Obi-Wan Kenobi film starring Ewan McGregor.

'Book Of Boba Fett' Director Says It Will Live Up To The Hype
The Book of Boba Fett is on the way. Soon, we shall see the return of the most feared bounty hunter in the known galaxy. Maybe not on the big screen as it was thought back in the day when a Boba Fett movie was in the works, but on a smaller screen on Disney+. The director and showrunner of the series Robert Rodriguez said that this show is “going to blow [our] minds.” What does this mean? What sort of mind blowing revelations will we see in this latest addition to the Disney+ gallery of shows?

The Empire had assembled many agents in their quest to capture the renegade Han Solo. One group in particular assembled aboard the massive Super Star Destroyer of none other than Darth Vader himself. It was a strange gathering to say the least. Among them was an assassin droid, a reptilian Trandoshan, and what appeared to be a bipedal fly-like Gand. In such company, one would have to be truly unique to stand out, which is exactly what the stoic human Boba Fett did. When Vader singled him out with a warning, “No disintegrations,” you knew he was something special. What sort of history lay hidden underneath his armor?

It has taken quite some time for the Star Wars family to accept Hayden Christensen. After his performance as the young Jedi Padawan and later Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, the Canadian actor was harshly criticized for his wooden and rather expressionless performances. Although it is true that the love scenes between Anakin and Padme were awkward, it would be unfair to put the blame completely on Christensen who probably did his best with the directions he was given. Also, it is well know that George Lucas was NOT a people director.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in Futurism⚠️ WARNING! Do Not Go Into The Light!
What if I told you that upon death no matter who you're greeted by and no matter what they tell you, do not head into the light. What you do now may save you a lifetime or two. So remain calm and seek further counsel once they go through their speech. Again the important thing is to remain calm, and don’t get lost in your emotions. I get a chill writing this. With an upcoming Matrix movie on the horizon, something in my gut tells me it’s the perfect time to write an article explaining The Reincarnation Trap and how it connects to The Matrix's version of Simulation Theory.
Kenneth cruzPublished 3 years ago in FuturismFacts About Bail Organa Only Die Hard Fans Will Know
Bail Prestor Organa was a prominent political figure in the age of the Galactic Republic and the early years of the Imperial era, representing the Alderaan Sector in the Galactic Senate. As close friends with other senators such as Padmé Amidala and Mon Mothma, he was a passionate advocate for peace, and a fighter against tyranny, dedicating his efforts in de-escalating the conflict during the Clone Wars and supporting the Rebel Alliance after the fall of the Republic. With the enormous variety of characters in the Star Wars universe, Bail Organa rarely got the spotlight in the movies and television series. What we do know is that he is a keen character for the light.

The Mandalorian has done a great job of showcasing different worlds in the Star Wars galaxy. Lots of them are new, but there are also familiar ones like Tatooine and Tython. As such, there has been talk about whether we may see another familiar planet in season 3 or beyond. One that has not been showcased onscreen very much in recent years. And there is a possible precedent for its possible appearance, given the Legends references on the show and how willing the creative team is to pull certain things from Legends.
