Throwback Line From Han Solo Removed From The Novelization of 'The Force Awakens'
It seems that the story of the sequel trilogy is one rife with some kind of curse, since the behind the scenes stories never seem to end. First the rumors for years about whether they would ever happen before Disney took over the franchise and now the endless tales, there's sure not a lack of content involving the sequel trilogy for us to hear. It seems it's not over yet either. Now, according to author Alan Dean Foster, Disney made him remove a throwback line from his novelization of The Force Awakens.

Temuera Morrison Is One Of The Busiest Actors In 'Star Wars': 'The Book of Boba Fett,' 'Obi-Wan Kenobi,' And 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
When Temuera Morrison wrapped filming for his part as Clone Commander Cody (and a few other soldiers of the Grand Army of The Republic) on the set of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of The Sith, he probably thought that this was the last time the audience would see his face in moving pictures within the far away galaxy. Although George Lucas had Morrison re-dub Boba Fett’s lines (there aren’t that many) for the DVD release of the original trilogy in 2004, it seemed that the future of the notorious bounty hunter would lie with someone else: fellow New Zealand actor Daniel Logan, who had played the unaltered clone son of Jango Fett in Episode II – Attack of The Clones and would go on to voice Fett in five episodes of The Clone Wars.

The Mandalorian: A History Of The Darksaber And All It's Wielders
WARNING: SPOILERS for season 2 of The Mandalorian, and seasons 3 and 4 of Star Wars: Rebels. As viewers begin the long wait for a new season of The Mandalorian, we are left with more time to absorb what we have already seen. One of the most interesting elements of the second season was the live-action debut of the Darksaber, a powerful Mandalorian weapon. While the Darksaber will be new to those who have only watched live-action Star Wars content, the weapon already has a deep history in animated Star Wars media.

'The Mandalorian's' Luke Skywalker Scene Was An "Unexpected Gift" For Mark Hamill
Every Star Wars fan who is not currently living under a rock is still talking about (and perhaps even rewatching) the most recent surprising moment in the franchise. That moment in this instance being the classic iconic character Luke Skywalker's appearance in the season 2 finale of the hit Disney+ series titled The Mandalorian. Even Mark Hamill is a fan of his character's debut in the show. How could he not be? In the tweet (which can be seen below), Hamill expresses a sentiment that many fans can relate to. "Sometimes the greatest gifts are the most unexpected," the tweet says in part. While few were expecting the appearance of Luke Skywalker, many were moved to tears by his arrival. Not only due to his most impressive display of Force mastery and lightsaber technique, but because of what his presence meant for Mando and Baby Yoda. The emotional and action-packed conclusion to The Mandalorian's second season is regarded by many as the best episode to date, in no small part because of the appearance of Luke.

Director Robert Rodriguez Jamming Out On Set With Baby Yoda
When it comes to Star Wars in 2021, nothing is more popular than The Mandalorian and the freshly-separated duo of Din Djarin and Grogu. More commonly referred to as Mando and Baby Yoda, these two have captured the hearts, attention, and dollars of the entire fandom. It appears that not even directors with a penchant for onscreen blood and violence are immune to Grogu's adorable snare. While directing the sixth episode of season 2, Robert Rodriguez and Grogu had a moment to connect, jam, and tweet out the video, which can be seen below. With Grogu perched on the Seeing Stone and Rodriguez playing guitar, the video sent out by Rodriguez is one of the best things to come out of 2020. Its clear that Baby Yoda was feeling the vibe of Rodriguez's guitar playing as he bobs his head and twitches his ears to the beat. This clip can also be seen in Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, the behind-the-scenes documentary that debuted on Disney+ on Christmas Day, in addition to many other clips of Rodriguez's strumming in the directors chair.

Poe Dameron And Din Djarin Ring In The New Year With Festive Instagram Post
I guess we can agree that most of us are quite happy that 2020 has left the building, and that its successor has moved in. So far, 2021 hasn’t done a whole lot of wrong, but on the other hand, the pandemic also didn’t miraculously disappear when the clock jumped from 23:59:59 to 00:00:00.

What The Skywalker Family Would Have Looked Like Without Anakin's Fall To The Dark Side
Anakin Skywalker's fall to the Dark Side was the backbone of the George Lucas installments of the Star Wars saga - beginning his story as a young boy, and culminating in the climax of his redemption. It's the central heart of the Star Wars story - Anakin's path is the string that holds the Skywalker saga together in one piece. Fans watched him become the annoying teenager, then the tortured man vying to save the love of his life, and then as the young Jedi selling his soul to Palpatine. It's the most tragic of galactic stories. Anakin's turn to the Dark Side is a story that haunts the overall story - with characters from Obi-Wan to Luke wondering how and why their friend and father could fall so far.
