Lucasfilm Announces 'Star Wars 1313' Will Release Holiday Season 2021
The return of Lucasfilm Games earlier this year meant that some promising possibilities were on the way. And one of those possibilities, which has long been a dream for Star Wars fans, is finally coming true. With the Disney buyout in 2012 came the cancellation and shelving of multiple projects such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Detours. The former, fortunately, eventually got its final season of Disney+. And while the latter had an episode leaked in recent months, there is no news on it. Still, there is another silver lining, as fans will finally be getting the video game Star Wars 1313.

We May Find Out What Happened To Barriss Offee In 'The Bad Batch'
One of the most interesting conflicts of the critically acclaimed The Clone Wars TV show was the friendship and eventual conflict and betrayal between Barriss Offee, Jedi Padawan of Luminara Unduli, and Ahsoka Tano, Jedi Padawn of Anaking Skywalker. They have a strong friendship before Barriss becomes disillusioned with the Jedi Order (big shock) and straight up turns to the dark side, going so far as to actually bomb the Jedi Temple and frame Ahsoka for it, which leads the Jedi Council to almost expel Ahsoka for it. She later leaves even though she's found innocent, because she's disillusioned with the Jedi Order, which doesn't help Anakin when he starts getting disillusioned with the Jedi Order, which is one of the tools Palpatine uses to turn Anakin to the dark side and become Darth Vader, which leads to the original trilogy, which leads to the sequel trilogy where we find Luke drinking green milk out of a space cow, after becoming disillusioned with the whole Jedi thing...

Sebastian Stan Responds To Luke Skywalker Casting Rumors
It goes without saying that Luke Skywalker is one of the most popular characters in all of Star Wars. Portrayed by Mark Hamill, this character has gone through some big changes before the fans' eyes over the years. In the original trilogy, Luke is introduced as the reluctant farmboy who eventually decides to go along with helping the Rebellion against the Empire. A couple of movies later, he is a Jedi Knight, carrying the flame of an order that is pretty much extinct. And while he is shown to be at a low point in the sequel trilogy, he becomes quintessential Luke Skywalker again, inspiring hope across the galaxy and providing some advice to Rey before she goes off to a fateful confrontation.

This Disturbing Baby Yoda Animatronic Will Give You Nightmares For Years
There is no doubt about it: toys were one of the things that helped to make the Star Wars series what it is today.

That has since been remedied, and we have had several wonderful toys come from an equally wonderful show.
