10 Things You Didn't Know About Qui-Gon Jinn
Qui-Gon Jinn is one of the most compelling characters of the prequel trilogy, with his strong leadership, compassion for the meek, and maverick approach to the Jedi Code. While his time in the Star Wars universe was all too brief, Liam Neeson made an immediate impact with his portrayal of the severe yet independent Jedi Master. 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.

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.

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'

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.
