Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
'Star Wars: Visions' Official Trailer Released
Star Wars and anime. Not many would consider this a normal combination when it comes to the galaxy far, far away, but Star Wars: Visions disagrees. This will be a 9-part mini-series of individually made episodes created by some of the most famous animated studios coming out of Japan. As of now, a new trailer has been released, both a dubbed and a subbed version, as in the class anime tradition, to show off this amazing Star Wars project.

'War Of The Bounty Hunters' Sees Two Fan Favorites Go Head To Head
The comic series War of the Bounty Hunters is giving Star Wars fans a story covering the time between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, specifically focusing on the continuation of Han Solo's and Boba Fett's story after the latter was frozen in carbonite. We know he will eventually end up as a trophy on Jabba the Hutt's wall, but it turns out Boba Fett didn't have as easy a time making the delivery as we were led to believe, and he's now about to go up against a very formidable foe in the form of Solo's best friend and co-pilot, the Wookiee Chewbacca.

The Insidious Sith Who Trained Darth Revan
There are many Sith Lords in history who captured the imagination of Star Wars fans alike, namely Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, and Darth Maul from the Star Wars films. One particular Dark Lord of the Sith, who was not a Lucas creation, has captivated us. While he originated in a videogame, his staying power was so great that he is still remembered to this day. That Sith was Darth Revan, a legend in the time of the Old Republic. But the question here is who trained Revan? Who taught him his ways? Who shaped and influenced him when he was still a Jedi? Well the irony was that his teacher also became a fellow Sith. That person was Darth Traya, or as she was once known, Kreia.

'Star Wars' Filming Locations You Can Actually Visit
With Star Wars being set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, it may seem like the many wonderous locations showcased within are out of reach. This may be true for some of the set pieces, as they are studios specially built by the crew and often rely heavily on CGI. Fortunately for us however, a large number of these locales are filmed in real locations right here on Earth. Most of which either were already tourist attractions or have become attractions following the movie’s release.

The Wii's Best 'Star Wars' Game Wasn't A 'Star Wars' Game
I don’t know about you, but when the Wii launched, I had one thought in my head: “Man it would be awesome to have a Star Wars game on the Wii.” The Wii’s use of motion controls and even the design of the Wii Remote scream "lightsaber!" The thought of using it to swing a lightsaber around in a video game still makes me excited to this day. However, my childhood dreams were never quite realized. The Wii did have some Star Wars games made for it, but a third of them were Lego games and the others were either ports, didn’t get the motion controls quite right, or both. It seemed like there would never be a game that was able to hone the motion controls and give me the sense of actually swinging a lightsaber in my hand. That changed when Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 released No More Heroes.

The 'Episode IX' Before 'Episode IX' - 'Duel of the Fates' (Part 2)
In the first article I wrote regarding Trevorrow's version of Episode IX, I discussed some of the key differences and similarities between the Episode IX we got with J.J. Abrams' The Rise of Skywalker and the Episode IX that could have been with Colin Trevorrow's proposed Episode IX, Duel of the Fates. Here, I plan to discuss some of my own thoughts about what ultimately worked better with The Rise of Skywalker and what might have worked better with Duel of the Fates, or at least some elements thereof.
