Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
‘Star Wars Resistance’ Is The Best Animated Series And Here’s Why
When Star Wars Rebels finished back in 2018, many wondered just what would replace it. The answer would come in the show Star Wars Resistance. Set before The Force Awakens, the story took place on a platform in the Outer Rim called the Colossus. Here we would follow Kazuda Xiono as he was assigned by Poe Dameron to check out the platform and see why it might be important to the First Order. During his adventure he met a wide array of people from Jarek Yeager, Tam Ryvora, and Torra Doza. Though it only lasted for two seasons, Resistance created a series that was quite unique both in story and stylized animation. It has to be the best animated Star Wars series thus far, and here is why.

Would Qui-Gon Have Joined the Separatists?
Qui-Gon Jinn had unique political opinions for a Jedi. He did not always agree with the order, and his decisions and choices cost him a seat on the Jedi Council, in spite of his knowledge of the Force and reputation. Given Qui-Gon’s differences with the Jedi leadership and his history as a padawan of Count Dooku, would Qui-Gon have joined the Count as Dooku suggested to Obi-Wan on Geonosis in Attack of the Clones?

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.

When season 2 of The Mandalorian ended and the post-credit scene teased something called The Book of Boba Fett many fans started to wonder if this would be season 3 or at least some form of continuation of the show. Later on we would find out that The Book of Baba Fett will be its own series, distinct from The Mandalorian, and that it will air on Disney+ before the end of the year.

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.
