How The High Republic Jedi Handled Older Force-Sensitive Students
It is no secret that Force-sensitive children are eligible to undertake training to become Jedi only if it begins at a very young age, something which was highlighted in The Phantom Menace when Qui-Gon Jinn presented Anakin Skywalker to the Jedi Council as having immense potential. Despite Anakin eventually becoming an exception, the general rule was a strict one in the Galactic Republic era. However, in the age of the High Republic, the Jedi used to take an alternative approach towards such children. This topic was a central theme in Issues 1-5 of Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, opening up the discussion of whether the Anakin's training predicament would have changed should his situation be normalized as in the High Republic.

When the tragic passing of the much beloved Carrie Fisher was announced back in December 2016, the entire world went into mourning. Although she was best known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars, she was also a wonderful human being who was always up for a laugh and didn't take life too seriously, brightening up every room she entered. I remember the moment my phone gave me the notification of the news and feeling completely sad even though I obviously didn't know her personally. That's the effect she had on her fans.

Most are aware of how vast the universe is. Endless and unfathomable, a thought most people become overwhelmed by and try to suppress in their minds. We like to become ignorant and assume we are a lone superior species. The galaxy is aged at around 14 billion years, with humanity maxing out at 200,000 years. To believe we are the sole proprietors of the universe, is blasphemy to science itself. Below I have created a list, of other (possibly) inhabitable planets, within our universe.
Dark Secrets Hidden Inside Mustafar
Mustafar, the world where Darth Vader was born... The planet has always had an air of legend in the galaxy far, far away. The same is true in the real world from an out of universe perspective as well. Star Wars fans have known about its existence for a long time even before the prequel trilogy. The Return of the Jedi novelization detailed how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader on an unnamed lava planet. Many wondered just what this place was. What were the great mysteries of this planet? Just what made the place that turned Anakin into Vader so special. Well, the planet Mustafar has a bit of history to it beyond its connection to the Dark Lord of the Sith. It is a very fantastical planet that Star Wars has chosen to develop beyond what was depicted on film.

It might be a headscratcher to casual viewers of the Star Wars films if one were to acknowledge Wedge Antilles as a hero of the Rebellion. He may not be Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewie, Artoo, or Threepio, but he is present in all three films of the original trilogy, during which is is instrumental in the major battles. Despite being a side character, he is a familiar face who essentially becomes an underdog to root for.

Disney Lucasfilm's hit live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian, concluded its stellar second season in December 2020. Its spin-off show, The Book of Boba Fett, will fill in the gap until the release of its third season some time in 2022. Originally started in 2019, The Mandalorian introduced fans to a faceless Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin, who roams the Outer Rim collecting bounties approximately five years after the events of Return of the Jedi. The show's premiere episode takes him on a major detour as he is assigned to track down, and deliver an alien child to a mysterious client. He delivers this to an apparent member of the late Jedi Master Yoda's species to the client. However, he becomes concerned about the motives of the client toward the child, and decides to flee with the child. By the end of the first season, his bounty hunting ways change as he is now tasked with the responsibility of returning this Force-sensitive child to the Jedi. The second season ends with him finally fulfilling this task, and leaving him open to new adventures. As theories and speculations arise about Book of Boba Fett and the third season of The Mandalorian, rumors have come out concerning changes the show might undergo in season 4 and beyond.

Pluck the stem and uproot the growth. Burgeoned fruit, selfless life. Kiss the stem and cast it to the wind. Progeny blooms in years to come. Hopeful blossoms, flowered with care. Now raze the ground and scorch the earth. Fulminate your homeland. Pollute the air with wagging tongues and borrowed time. From earth comes nothing. But to it comes flesh. Burning world, blackened country. Water dry and sour to taste. Children awaken to revelations. We reap what we sow but what to reap when the Earth is shorn. Breathe deep now and exhale tomorrow. Continue until your lungs collapse. Savor the sweetness and cough up your sweat. Cough up your blood. Cough up your tears until nothing remains. Death will come and bury you in ashes. No flowers will adorn your grave.

SPOILER ALERT FOR DARTH VADER #15 Revenge seems to have been Maul’s prime motivation through all these years. When he was cut in half on Naboo by Obi-Wan Kenobi, his hatred and desire for revenge kept him alive. A decade later, he wanted revenge on his former master, who had seemingly tossed him away and taken on a new apprentice to take over the galaxy. Over time, Maul’s strategy changed and evolved. The most recent Marvel’s Darth Vader #15 shows that the former Sith Lord has come to rely on power by numbers, quite in contrast to the Sith’s Rule of Two.
