Star Wars: Top 5 Sequel Trilogy Characters
5: Han Solo Although Han was really only in one movie, his presence was felt throughout the trilogy, both figuratively and literally. The movie that he was in felt more like a Star Wars movie than any other in the trilogy, largely due to the fact that Han Solo's charm and charisma are what life-long fans correlate with Star Wars. If he had played a larger role in this trilogy, he would have likely been higher on this list. I will also say that my favorite scene in the trilogy included Han. Of course, this scene is the scene he shared with his son, Ben Solo, in The Rise of Skywalker. Whether it was actually Han himself or a projection that Leia created in the force, I couldn’t ask for a better final straw to redeem Ben once and for all.

Star Wars: Top 5 Prequel Trilogy Characters
Before we get started, I want to clarify that I will be cheating slightly with this ranking. I will be including some characters from the Clone Wars series, which plays a pivotal role in this trilogy. I know I am giving a little more attention to this ranking, and no, that doesn't mean that I like the prequel trilogy more than the original classics. However, I really connect with some of these characters, so I am giving this list special attention.

'The Mandalorian': Could We See A Familiar Jedi Team Up With Mando?
In recent memory, two of the Star Wars projects that have united fandom are the Disney+ TV series The Mandalorian and the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Both were released in November 2019, and they were met with a lot of positive reception from the fans. Just as people want to mix peanut butter and chocolate to combine the best of both worlds, it would make some degree of sense to combine the characters of these properties.

Fan Favorite Cal Kestis' Lightsaber Is Coming to Galaxy's Edge
Of all of the Star Wars video games to come out in recent years, none have been as beloved as last year's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It is the first Star Wars game to actually feel like a complete, immersive Star Wars game since the original Battlefront II, in my opinion. The recent Battlefront games have received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike for its microtransactions. Jedi: Fallen Order was a mega hit, and likely paved the way for Disney to feel comfortable releasing Star Wars: Squadrons. It showed that people could truly love Star Wars games again. With more DLC for the game and a sequel likely in the works, fans will hopefully get more of what they loved about the original game.

Obi-Wan Actually Hid Luke From The Rebellion Not The Empire
Many Star Wars fans know the classic story: Skywalker twins are born, they are separated to be hidden from the Emperor, and Ben Kenobi watches over one of them (Luke). There is no doubt that they were to be hidden from the Empire. Ben Kenobi says as much in Return of the Jedi, and we see this play out at the end of Revenge of the Sith. However, a recent theory presents an interesting possibility.

Why Palpatine Didn't Taken On Another Apprentice After ROTJ
There are several things that have confused or annoyed fans with the new Star Wars sequels, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker. But one in particular is that it is never fully explained what happened with the whole Palpatine/Snoke storyline. Fans had many questions surrounding it, such as who Snoke was exactly, or how Palpatine survived the end of Return of the Jedi. One of the questions, why Palpatine never actually took another apprentice after Return of the Jedi, is finally answered in a section of The Star Wars Book.

There Is A 'Mandalorian' Movie Possibly In Development
The Mandalorian has been so successful that it has united much of the Star Wars fandom after a few divisive films. In terms of the visuals, the quality of the series is comparable to what one might see on the big screen. With that in mind, there may be some who would love to see a film spin off of the series and onto the big screen. In fact, series creator Jon Favreau himself seems open to the idea, saying that

Snoke's Origins Revealed In New 'Star Wars' Book
There are many elements of the Star Wars sequel trilogy that proved to be divisive. One of them was the use of Supreme Leader Snoke. Introduced in The Force Awakens, his presence gave off a vibe that there was a lot more to him. Over the next couple of years, some fans came up with wild theories as to who he was. A popular one was that he was Darth Plagueis. A ridiculous one was that he was Mace Windu. And when the Aftermath novel trilogy was coming out, some (myself included) thought that Gallius Rax would turn out to be Snoke, and were disappointed when Gallius Rax turned out to not be as big of a deal as expected.

Star Wars: Top 5 Original Trilogy Characters
As you all well know, I'm a Star Wars Nerd. I originally wanted to start this series of rankings with the Prequel trilogy, but that list consists of characters from the Clone Wars series. I didn't want to compose that ranking without letting that series finish first, which will likely come after I post my sequel list. This ranking will not include characters from Rebels since I have only seen the first season. After I finish that series, I will eventually make an updated list of original trilogy characters. Be on the look for that!

'The Mandalorian' Season 3 Due To Start Filming By Year's End
The Mandalorian season 2 is premiering on October 30, which is not too far away now. Many Star Wars fans are very much excited for what is to come, especially given the recent marketing materials. Given that we have not yet seen season 2, it might feel too soon to wonder about season 3. However, good news is good news, and Jon Favreau has told Variety that the third season is due to start filming "before the end of the year."

The Six Jedi Order Ranks Explained
The path to becoming a Jedi is made up of a few different ranks. This is especially evident when, in Revenge of the Sith, Mace Windu says the notorious line, "You are on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master." Some of the ranks are fairly obvious simply from watching the prequel trilogy, but the newly published The Star Wars Book outlines all six ranks of becoming a Jedi, as pointed out by Screen Rant.

Lucasfilm Reportedly Looking at Dave Bautista For Darth Bane Role In New Movie?
Darth Bane is a very popular character among Star Wars fans. Created by George Lucas and described as the Sith Lord who created the Rule of Two, Darth Bane got his own stories in the old Expanded Universe, now known as Legends. These include the comic book story Jedi vs. Sith and the Darth Bane novel trilogy consisting of Path of Destruction, Rule of Two, and Dynasty of Evil. In canon, a vision of Darth Bane appears to Yoda in the final arc of The Clone Wars season 6, voiced by Mark Hamill, no less. But who could play him in a live-action project?
