This Infamous Bounty Hunter Is Rumored To Be In 'Book Of Boba Fett'
The Book of Boba Fett is one of the most anticipated shows coming this year, and with the horrible part of 2020 still lingering in 2021, it is one of the only glimmers of hope coming in this drab year. Despite it being only a few months away, new information has been slow. News on the series has been kept relatively quiet in traditional Star Wars fashion. As a matter of fact, the only new information released is mostly confined to rumors and leaks, all of which must be taken with a grain of salt. Another one of these rumors has just been revealed, and it points to a major character's return to the series.

The Reason Why 'Star Wars' Trilogies Need To End
It’s time for the trilogies to end. Star Wars so far has had three trilogies that make up the Skywalker Saga: originals, prequels, and sequels. Each tells a story in three whole movies. However, in the grand scheme of things, are trilogies necessarily the best format for how a Star Wars story should be told? Perhaps the trilogy format which is so well known in Star Wars does not do the storytelling justice. Does it amplify the best way to tell a story? Does it possess the best structure to get everything out? Is that enough time to tell a full story. In many aspects, the answer may simply be a straight up "No."

Questions We Still Have About 'The Bad Batch' Season 1
The season 1 finale of The Bad Batch hit Disney+ a little over two weeks ago. With season 2 not scheduled for release until 2022, a few of us are probably doing another rewatch of the series, poring over little detail as all Star Wars fans like to do. Now that we have had time to digest the series a bit, a few questions may have come up. There are a few loose threads left hanging at the end of season 1 that we hope will be addressed in the upcoming season (and perhaps in future seasons after). Here are a few questions that are still nagging our minds.

'Star Wars' Theory: Darth Maul Founded The Knights Of Ren
The Dathomirian Zabrak known as Maul was once apprenticed to the most powerful being in the galaxy. As with many Sith, Maul's arrogance and reveling in victory proved to be his undoing as the padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn defeated him during the Battle of Naboo. The Sith Grand Plan suffered a major setback with Obi-Wan Kenobi's victory on Naboo, and Maul was left for dead by his master. Fueled by the Dark Side, amplified by rage at his defeat, Maul was able to survive and ended up the planet Lotho Minor, where his broken body was recovered by his brother, Savage Opress.

The Reason Why Rey Being A Palpatine Makes Sense
The biggest mystery that came out of The Force Awakens was the newly introduced plucky scavenger girl, Rey. Questions swirled ever since her first appearance. Who is she, and more importantly, where is she from, and who is her family? This led to a lot of theories and speculation, and fans were hoping to find the answer to this burning question in The Last Jedi. However, for better or for worse, it did not. Despite Rey's (and the audience's) fervent desires, all that The Last Jedi told us, via Kylo Ren, was that her parents were "nobodies." They had sold her for drinking money, and they are now dead and buried in a pauper's grave. We did not learn anything further about them, and I had my reasons to doubt that Kylo Ren was even being truthful. He was more likely manipulating Rey so that she would join him. The general message of the film seemed to be that nobody has to be a part of an important family to be powerful in the Force, which seemed to be accepted, if not celebrated by many fans of the movie. However, in Rise of Skywalker, director J. J. Abrams ultimately decided not only to bring back the ultimate Sith Lord, Emperor Palpatine, but also make Rey his granddaughter. The decision to make Rey a Palpatine generated mixed reactions among fans, to say the least.

‘Star Wars’ Reveals The Dark Reason Behind This Part Of Boba Fett's Suit
The Star Wars universe is so vast and the stories are so intricate that no matter how much we think we have learned about the stories, there is always more. The writers and creators of the movies, comics, television series, and books have created this universe that in and of itself seems almost alive. It is ever evolving and full of surprises. Unfortunately, some of those surprises that we find out about are not always feel good or happy story information.
