Dave Filoni Fought Disney To Get Freddie Prinze Jr. For 'Rebels'
We remember Freddie Prinze Jr. as one of the actors from teen movies like Scooby-Doo, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and She's All That. But the Star Wars fans also remember him as Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus, one of the Jedi who survived Order 66.

All The Characters Who Have Used Anakin Skywalker's Lightsaber
The Skywalker lightsaber has gone through many hands. This list includes characters in canon and Legends who have wielded the weapon in a meaningful way. Sure, it may have been temporarily stolen or perhaps borrowed (like when Han Solo used it to cut open a tauntaun), but let's stick to prominent characters who have used it in meaningful duels.

These Fan Lightsabers Are Made Better Than Disney's Own Lightsabers
Lightsabers have been the most renowned piece of material from the Star Wars franchise for the past 40+ years. That trademark weapon has captivated plenty of fans, and they decide which Jedi or Sith model is their favorite, whether it be from Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, Rey, Mace Windu, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, or Kylo Ren among others. This has often sparked interesting debates among the fanbase. The best part of owning a lightsaber for personal use is the ability to pretend to be a Jedi or a Sith. But it can come at a price. A hefty but expensive one, to be exact.

'Star Wars: The Mandalorian's' Best Episodes According To IMDb Rankings
The Mandalorian series is easily one of the best new Star Wars properties to be introduced by Disney since purchasing Lucasfilm. Not every episode is perfect, but there's a lot of great stuff to unpack. The show works best when it's bold and original and letting the characters develop and shine. The Mandalorian makes the story of a lonely man and a child finding family in each other so emotional for every viewer. Here are episodes ranked from worst to best based on IMDd rankings.

Rian Johnson Was Not Aware Of Kylo Ren's Fate After 'The Last Jedi'
One of the most heavily criticized parts of the sequel trilogy is the apparent lack of a cohesive, overarching story thread. From the onset of the films, it became apparent that Lucasfilm and Disney were content to allow the individual film directors to steer the trilogy to their own directions. Coming form a company that includes a Story Group and has produced one of the most intertwined and continuous universes in the MCU, this seems like a poor choice. While the sequel films are visually stunning, both in effects and cinematography, and are undeniably fun and entertaining, there are those who have expressed concern with how they fit together as a trilogy and how they impact the Star Wars story at large.

Mark Hamill Deep Fake Was Not The Only Choice For Luke Skywalker's Cameo
One of the biggest and most delightful surprises in season 2 of The Mandalorian was hands down the heartwarming Luke Skywalker cameo in the season finale "The Rescue," in which the powerful Jedi entered the fray in his iconic Red Five X-wing, cut through hordes of Dark Troopers, and embarked on a mission to train Grogu in the ways of the Force. Seeing a young "deep-fake" version of Mark Hamill as Luke was welcomed by many, but recent interviews revealed a behind-the-scenes perspective and explained Mark Hamill's involvement in the episode's production.

The 7 Most Lovable Droids In 'Star Wars'
"Look sir! Droids!" -Imperial Stormtrooper (Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope) As I'm sure everybody would agree, one of the most charming and enduring elements of the Star Wars franchise, which has been incorporated in pretty much every single movie and TV series, has been the droids featured in them. Every single Star Wars movie and series has introduced new and interesting droids that have become enshrined in the Star Wars universe as major characters that have played pivotal roles in the events transpiring in the various stories. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I want to talk about whom I would choose as the seven most lovable droids in the franchise. Aside from the top two, these will be in no particular order.

The Reason This A-List Actor Will Not Be Playing Thrawn
Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of the fan favorite villains of Star Wars. When he was introduced as the main villain of Timothy Zahn's novel trilogy in the early 1990s, he left quite an impression on many readers. He appeared in later books, as well as the more recent canonical books by Zahn that have tied into the animated series Star Wars Rebels. Oh, and he appeared in Star Wars Rebels as well, acting as the main villain during seasons 3 and 4. At the end of that series, Thrawn was taken to parts unknown, thanks to Ezra getting help from the purrgil (space whales). More recently, Thrawn was name-dropped in The Mandalorian episode "The Jedi," in which Ahsoka Tano appears and asks where Thrawn is. This seems to tease that he will play a major role in the upcoming Ahsoka series.

Why Red Kyber Crystals Are So Dangerous To Obtain
One of the most mysterious and amazing enigmas in the Star Wars universe is for sure the Kyber crystals. As you may know, Kyber crystals are the heart of a lightsaber, and what gives the saber its power and color. In Star Wars Legends, lightsabers got their color from all different sorts of gems and crystals, yet Sith used synthetic crystals for their red sabers.

An Ezra and Thrawn Series *Might* Be In The Works For Disney+
March 5th marked the 3-year anniversary of the thrilling Star Wars Rebels series finale, the last time we've seen young Jedi Ezra Bridger and fan favorite villain Grand Admiral Thrawn onscreen. Carried off into the Unknown Regions by hyperspace-faring creatures, their fate was and continues to largely be a mystery. The finale, while entertaining and satisfying, left the audience with questions galore. Where have they gone? Did they have to put their differences aside to survive a strange uncharted planet? How did they survive the vacuum of space with the bridge of the Chimera breached? Many Star Wars fans expected these questions to be answered in the Ahsoka or Rangers of the New Republic shows coming to Disney+.
