Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Luke Skywalker's Cameo Was Not Originally Planned, Says Jon Favreau
One of the biggest surprises in The Mandalorian series was Luke Skywalker. In the second season, it was discovered that Grogu, also known as “Baby Yoda” before his name reveal, needed a Jedi master to train him and find his latent abilities with the Force. Immediately, fans took the internet by storm with all their theories of which Jedi were left to be able to train Grogu. Of course, Ahsoka was off the table since she already said she couldn’t. The theories included many Jedi, including the one it turned out to be, which in itself seemed somewhat doubtful: Luke Skywalker.

Katee Sackhoff Didn't Know That Luke Skywalker Was In 'The Mandalorian' Until It Aired
When Din Djarin put Grogu on the seeing stone in the ancient temple on Tython and The Child started his Force Zoom call, we all knew that we would eventually get to see the person on the receiving end of this communication. But what we didn’t know at this time was whom it would be. Some hoped for a live-action debut of Ezra Bridger. (We will probably have to wait for this a little longer.). Others thought that it would be Cal Kestis from the Jedi: Fallen Order video game. Some even imagined that Mace Windu would show up, having miraculously survived his fall from Palpatine’s office.

Mark Raats Speaks Out On 'The Rise Of Skywalker' And Fan Backlash
Posters, especially movie posters, are a big part of Star Wars culture. Artists like Ralph McQuarrie, Tom Jung, Tom Chantrell, Roger Kastel, and Drew Struzan have created pieces of art that are recognizable by people well outside the fandom, even if they don’t know the artists' names.

'Star Wars' Just Revealed These Amazing Retro Action Figures
Star Wars, when it is at its best, is all about celebration. The magical feel of a celebration can be reflected not just within the respectful ambassadors of the fandom, but also within some of the products that come out of the franchise. There can be many different reasons to celebrate. It can be as mundane as simply celebrating how awesome in general Star Wars is. Or it could be a celebration of an upcoming project, like a film or a TV show. Or it could be a celebration of something that happened a long time ago, in a galaxy not so far, far away.

More Secrets Revealed From Exegol Coming From Marvel's April 2021 'Star Wars: Darth Vader' Comic
The ninth Star Wars saga film, 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, was... flawed. Between undoing some of what had happened in The Last Jedi and an unfocused storyline, one could argue that it is easily the weakest of the three sequel films. However, that doesn't mean that there wasn't anything good in it. The return of Emperor Palpatine was a lot of fun, and it was especially cool to see his new home, the Sith world of Exegol. It was a bit silly to see a gigantic fleet of Star Destroyers, all of which were armed with a cannon that could destroy an entire planet, but at the end of the day, the planet gave us the opportunity to see some good ol' Star Wars fun.

Darth Vader Faces Deadliest 'Star Wars' Creature Yet
The Star Wars galaxy is full of a lot of monstrous creatures. The dianoga from the garbage smasher from the original film looks comparatively quaint compared to the gigantic exogorth (or "space slug") in the asteroid belt in The Empire Strikes Back. And as we come to find out in The Phantom Menace, "There's always a bigger fish." On television, we have seen the Godzilla-inspired Zillo Beast in The Clone Wars animated series and the sandworm-esque Krayt Dragon in The Mandalorian live-action series. And the creatures do not just remain in the onscreen media; they extend to other materials as well, such as the comics.

In the age of scoops on the internet, a major franchise like Star Wars is a prime example of scoops and rumors being reported on a daily basis.
