Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Darksiders Who Turned Away From The Dark Side
The Jedi and Sith have a long history as adversaries at best and enemies in war at worst. One fighting for the light and the other a harbinger of darkness. We have heard numerous stories of proud Jedi warriors and wise masters falling to the darkness, becoming Sith or other sorts of darksiders. However, we don't hear a lot about those on the dark side being shown the light and renouncing their dark ways. It may not be as frequent as the former, but it has happened a lot in the Star Wars lore. Several darksiders have fought through the darkness to redeem themselves and become great Jedi.

This 'Star Wars' Main Character's Homeworld Is A Tribute To Jon Stewart
In the Star Wars universe, there are so many worlds to visit, and so many characters that come from these amazing and original worlds. For example, Maul is from the dark and haunting world of Dathomir, Anakin is from the dunes of Tatooine, and Padme is from the elegant and beautiful planet of Naboo which, funny enough, is also the home of Emperor Palpatine.

What Colin Trevorrow's 'Episode IX' Could Have Looked Like
Like most of Disney’s Star Wars movies, the production of Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker went through a lot of drama. At D23 in August of 2015, Disney presented Colin Trevorrow (who back in 2012 had been rumored to head the production of Episode VII) as the director for the then untitled Episode IX. He had this role for a little over two years until September of 2017, when he got fired. As usual, there was no official reason given for this move, but there were whispers of Trevorrow’s ego getting way too big after the success of Jurassic World and that he was not an easy man to work with.

'Star Wars Rebels' Originally Had Darth Maul Kill Off This Main Character
When Darth Maul was killed off in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, it got mixed reactions. Some who expected him to be a villain throughout the entire prequel trilogy were disappointed. However, Maul got another chance on the screen when George Lucas decided to retcon his death and bring him back through the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series around the time that The Phantom Menace was rereleased for 3D in theaters. (We have learned within the last few months that Lucas at some point intended to have Maul be a villain in his sequel trilogy, before he let other people take the reigns.) The Maul of the animated series has gained a lot of praise from fans who see more depth in the character as a result.

While Qui-Gon Jinn is one of the most popular Jedi from the prequel era, there are still many facts about his life that fans are unaware of, both canonically confirmed and the stuff of Legends.
