Darth Revan May Be Making His Return To 'Star Wars' Canon After All
The character Revan came into existence in 2003 with the critically acclaimed game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. We were introduced to this former Jedi who had previously led the Republic against the Mandalorians. After succumbing to the temptation of the dark side of the Force, he returns as Darth Revan leading the Sith forces against the Republic. The prelude of the game tells us that Revan was finally brought down as a result of Jedi Knight Bastila’s powerful battle meditation, and his apprentice Darth Malak’s betrayal. For the remainder of the game, the player controls an amnesiac presumably Republic soldier who eventually gains Force powers, and undergoes Jedi training in order to fight against Darth Malak’s remaining Sith forces. Warning: spoilers ahead (although, this game is well past the statute of limitations for spoilers). In what was possibly the most shocking twist in the Star Wars universe since the revelation that Darth Vader is Luke’s father in The Empire Strikes Back, the player discovers that their character is none other than Revan, the great Sith Lord they kept hearing about and whose forces they are now fighting against.

Disney Teasing Darth Revan For Possible Return Into Modern Canon
As I have said many times, Darth Revan is one of the greatest Jedi/Sith that has existed in Star Wars, and he is an absolute fan-favorite character. He is one of the characters fans have clamored to be put back into canon since the division between canon and Legends. Unfortunately, that meant that Darth Revan along with most characters and events from Knights of the Old Republic and the subsequent games in the series were thrown into Legends purgatory. However, Disney and Lucasfilm seem to be inching ever closer to giving us Darth Revan in canon, and we may have gotten our first real hint at that through The Rise of Skywalker.

Mena Massoud Shows Up As Ezra Bridger In Jaw-Dropping Concept Art
I think about Ezra Bridger all the time. When Star Wars Rebels started, I worried that the character would take after the too immature live-action Anakin. Thankfully, I was wrong. By the end of the series run of Rebels, Ezra Bridger proved to be a fantastic character that everyone adored. The finale ensured that there was indeed more to come. Now that we fans have a live-action Ahsoka, we want and deserve a similar Ezra.

You Don't Know These Facts About Darth Vader's Suit
Darth Vader’s silhouette is one of the most recognizable ones in cinema history. Even people who have never seen a Star Wars film and know nothing about the saga will most likely say something like, “Yes, this is the bad guy from Star Wars, the one with the breathing problems.”

'Andor' Star Reveals What Made Him Sign Onto The Show
What makes an actor decide to work on a movie? Is it the script? Is it the director? Is it the producer? What made Robert Downey Jr. sign on to play Iron Man for ten movies and become Iron Man personified? (No, Robert Downey Jr. is not the next actor to appear in the Star Wars universe anytime soon, although I would not mind seeing him in the galaxy far, far away.)

The Differences Between Galaxy's Edge In Disneyland Vs. Disney World
One of Disney's most ambitious theme park expansions in recent years has brought the galaxy far, far away closer to home at its domestic locations in Anaheim, California and Orlando, Florida in the form of Galaxy's Edge, which now exists in Star Wars canon as a trading outpost known as Black Spire on Batuu. This location has since been featured in some print stories set between Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker.

This 'Last Jedi' Deleted Scene Shows Luke's True Personality
One of the greatest things to learn about the Jedi Order is the different relationships between master and apprentice. In the original trilogy, we saw the beautiful yet tough relationship between Luke and Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Years later in the prequels, we got to see the father-son relationship Obi-Wan has with is Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and the brotherly relationship Obi-Wan has with his padawan Anakin Skywalker.

These Characters May Very Well Be Featured In 'The Book of Boba Fett'
The highly anticipated next entry in the Favreau/Filoni-verse coming to Disney+ is The Book of Boba Fett. It is expected to be a dark and gritty action thriller with Robert Rodriguez joining the crew as a producer. After his successful Star Wars debut with "Chapter 14" of The Mandalorian and his interpretation of Boba Fett, Rodriguez is a welcome addition to the crew. However, if Fett is to solidify his claim to the Hutt Cartel throne, he will need competent fighters at his side in addition to the lethal sniper, Fennec Shand. While IMDb has confirmed that other bounty hunters will be appearing in the show, there have also been whispers circulating that characters from The Mandalorian will appear to assist or oppose Boba. Here are some of the characters who are hopefully on deck to appear in The Book of Boba Fett.
