Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
The Next 'Star Wars' Anthology Series Should Involve These Two Characters
By all accounts, Star Wars: Visions was a successful show for Disney and Lucasfilm, and it showed potential in other anthology stories in the Star Wars universe. Star Wars has always been a vast universe with plenty of stories to tell. Pivoting from that, Star Wars also has plenty of room for comedy. While Star Wars has had some comedic moments, I wouldn’t call them comedies. Furthermore, I think some of the funniest Star Wars moments have come from parodies like Space Balls, the Robot Chicken: Star Wars specials, and Family Guy’s Blue Harvest. Star Wars could be home to several genres exploring any number of infinite story possibilities. The franchise is seriously lacking in terms of comedy, and it seems committed to only wanting to create shows that are set between Episodes I- IX. Why not meet halfway? That is why I think the next anthology series by Disney and Lucasfilm should follow Tag and Bink.

Space exploration became a household term in 1977. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts were launched to explore the solar system’s outer planets. That same year also saw another exciting launch: the Star Wars movies. Since 1977, Voyager spacecraft and Star Wars have been on remarkably parallel paths.

The 2022 slate of Star Wars media is moving on, with the end of The Book of Boba Fett and the beginning of Obi-Wan Kenobi just two months away. According to rumors, we don’t know what will happen next, but we might have an idea of an endpoint. Of course, we’re not entirely sure if it’s real or not, so take everything we say as a mere possibility; you can’t get your hopes up over a false rumor. With that being said, we should also go over the hows and possible whys to cover all the bases. We don’t want to ignore any possible leak, but we should always take it with a grain of salt.

Okay, so... look, *quiet sigh* we're all going to [Spoiler Alert] die someday. There will inevitably be a question on what is going to happen to your body unless you died fighting six bears and juuust couldn't quite knock out that last one who is now extremely bitter and more than a little annoyed. Or something like that. The same holds true for Star Wars characters when the story decides to focus on that a bit. Qui-Gon and Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker were given respectful funerals as the attendees solemnly looked on. Obi-Wan famously vanished when he was (about to be? Depends on who you ask) hit by Darth Vader's lightsaber, leaving an empty robe behind that Darth Vader probably put into a footlocker while he tried to figure out what to do with it. It was no doubt destroyed along with the Death Star. Biggs, Porkins, and the other Rebel pilots who died during the attack on the Death Star did not need burials since they were more or less evaporated.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, a limited six-part Disney+ series airing in May 2022, will apparently not only address Obi-Wan's chief role of watching over and protecting young Luke Skywalker but that Obi-Wan will also wind up playing an essential role in protecting the other Skywalker sibling, Princess Leia Organa. As we know from the finale of Revenge of The Sith, ten years before this series, Leia was entrusted to the care of the late Padme Amidala-Skywalker's closest ally in the Galactic Senate, Bail Organa, and his wife, Breha, Queen of Alderaan, which, until now, is where Leia is believed to have stayed for most of her life.

Culture SlatePublished 2 years ago in FuturismREPORT: New 'Star Wars' Game Receives Disappointing Release Date
If you have recently watched the cinematic trailer for Star Wars: Eclipse and found yourself intrigued by the concept, then this news may sour your day a little bit. It turns out the game is not anywhere close to release. Reports are saying that it will drop in 2027 or 2028 at the earliest. What is the reason for such a delay for a game that already has a teaser trailer? Well, it appears that the studio Quantic Dream is having a tough time filling positions in order to begin production on the game. The studio had posted 60 openings just before the holidays. In the following months that number has jumped to 67.

"As my mentor used to tell me, relish the victory, but savor the hunt." These are the words of Ellian Zahra; an Imperial Commander and the current antagonist of Charles Soule's 2020 Star Wars comic series. After losing her parents at a young age, Zahra joined the Imperial Academy and became a student of none other than Governor Wilhuff Tarkin. After rising through the ranks and officially joining the Empire upon graduation from the academy, Zahra was taken by Tarkin to his home planet of Eriadu. Here, she would compete with his other hand-picked students in a hunt for an albino veermok. Killing both the veermok and her fellow students, Zahra gained Tarkin's favor and became his personal protégé throughout the Empire's rule.

There can be no doubt that The Mandalorian has been very successful, receiving not only a great reception from the Star Wars fan base, but it also received very good critic reviews as well. Back in 2017, the production of a new Star Wars show was first announced by Lucasfilm, streaming exclusively on Disney+. Although, at the time, the name of the service had not yet been announced.
