Whether they are loved, feared, respected or hated, many members of the Jedi Order are wise and capable fighters. All in all, they are a formidable force (heh) for good in the Star Wars universe. Yet, alongside their fondness for meditation, beige robes and primary colored lightsabers, fans have noticed a recurring thing that these mystical monks usually do at some point or other.

Featuring both a young Princess Leia and the return of the planet Mustafar, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story went to great lengths to tie both the prequel and original trilogies together, including enough references to please even the most cynical of Star Wars fans. However, a new report also suggests that the film almost included a character from the popular video game series The Force Unleashed at one point too.

The Last Jedi is fast approaching, and Star Wars fans are eager to be reunited with their favorite characters, including the murderous son of Han Solo. Scarred and deflated following his defeat at Rey’s hand, Kylo Ren was picked up by the fleeing First Order forces before Starkiller Base erupted in a blaze of light, but according to The Last Jedi’s director, Ren’s journey won’t become any easier — or more honorable — any time soon.

Though The Force Awakens has been out for months now, that doesn't stop the Star Wars hype train. With the first non-episodic installment coming in less than four months and a near-guaranteed teaser for Episode VIII with it, this feels like the calm before the inevitable storm. It's a known fact that next year's Star Wars movie will be a bigger deal than this year's, what with returning characters in the form of Rey, Finn, BB-8, and of course, angsty antagonist Kylo Ren.

Disney has A LOT going on right now in their Star Wars universe that seems to grow every day.

Tyler S. CallawayPublished 6 years ago in FuturismHow One Man Leaked The Galaxy Of Character Cameos For 'Rogue One'
Set phasers to "stunned," because for once, the rumors are to be believed. A leaked cast-list for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story all but ruined the surprise that several characters from #GeorgeLucas's original three #StarWars films would cameo in Gareth Edwards's spin-off, and it wasn't wrong. Sadly we didn't get to see Carrie Fisher stick on those hair buns one last time before her tragic passing, but a leaked cast list was bang on with the promised return of some fan-favorites. Redditor tphilb, who broke the news, said that their line of work means the list made it onto their desk, which is a pretty big slip up — someone definitely got fired for this one.

With J.J. Abrams aboard Star Wars: Episode IX, it seems that Lucasfilm's directorial disputes are behind them, and peace has returned once again to the galaxy far, far away. However, whilst he's set to make the Sequel Trilogy a safe and secure franchise once more, Abrams’s appointment may mark a turning point in the years to come.

Who else was thinking “I’ve got a bad feeling about this,” when we discovered that Colin Trevorrow had joined Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank on the bench of side-lined Star Wars directors? I don’t blame you if you were. After all, the decision left fans wondering who would now steer the Millennium Falcon — and Episode IX — into pastures new. Could it be Kenneth Branagh or even Patty Jenkins? Fortunately, the shroud of uncertainty has now fallen away: Lucasfilm has announced that they have a new director on board, and he’s a familiar face indeed!

In the same way that the Force convulsed after the destruction of Alderaan, the internet is now ablaze with gossip in the wake of Colin Trevorrow’s exit from Star Wars: Episode IX. Both he and Lucasfilm have cited the good old “creative differences” line as the reason for their split, however, talk has already turned to his replacement. With Star Wars: The Last Jedi bound for our cinemas in several months and Episode IX scheduled for a 2019 release, time — and damage control — will be at the forefront of Lucasfilm’s mind.
