Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
'The Mandalorian' Season 3 Leaks Teases A Connection To 'The Last Jedi'
Since The Mandalorian premiered in 2019, it has slowly built its own story while connecting to and cross-referencing others. There have been connections to the original trilogy, prequels, and other stories in the same “Mando-verse” like Ahsoka and The Book of Boba Fett. However, the threads to the sequels are most intriguing, as it fills in nearly three decades’ worth of story possibilities. Season Two of The Mandalorian Chapter 12, The Siege, revealed what could be failed clones of Supreme Leader Snoke, but now there are new connections to The Last Jedi.

Hayden Christensen Teases 'A Very Powerful' Darth Vader In 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'
Obi-Wan Kenobi is set to premiere on Dinsey+ on May 25, 2022, and we now have a trailer as well as increasingly more information about the series, characters, and general storyline. Hayden Christensen, who has portrayed Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, has not only teased a return of the Dark Lord of the Sith ten years following the events of Revenge of the Sith but also that Obi-Wan Kenobi is fated to once again face his fallen apprentice prior to the events of A New Hope. Christensen has gone even further to say we should expect that he will be "very powerful" compared to when we last saw him at the end of Revenge of the Sith.

Alternate 'A New Hope' Story Shows Yoda Using A Jedi Mind Trick To Destroy The Death Star
Last year when Disney announced their line-ups for Star Wars and Marvel streaming series, one that stood out for everyone was Marvel's What If…? which was based upon alternate realities of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For example a zombie apocalypse, or what if someone assassinated the Avengers and another episode that will play a BIG role in the upcoming Doctor Strange 2. So naturally, this led many genre fans to think about their own What If...? scenarios.

Kathleen Kennedy Teases That 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Season 2 Could Be In The Works
“Six. It was always the plan to tell the story in just six episodes.” This was more or less the answer when George Lucas was asked if he would make any more Star Wars movies after Revenge of The Sith (this was of course before the sale to Disney). At the time of writing this article, it is still more than two months until the premiere of the Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries on Disney+, which, coincidentally or not, also consists of six episodes. And even before anyone outside of Lucasfilm has seen more of the upcoming show than the recently released trailer, fans have started to ask: will there be more?

The Actor Who Impersonated Thrawn
Grand Admiral Thrawn was one of the most notorious leaders in the Galactic Empire’s history. Even in death, his legacy was one for the history books. Many Imperial leaders wished to emulate him to succeed against the New Republic. So much so that in a desperate attempt to top the Imperial Remnant from making peace, loyalists hired an actor to play the Grand Admiral to trick the New Republic into breaking the truce between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic. The name of that impersonator was Flim.

Pablo Hidalgo Debunks Early Versions of the 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series Featuring Darth Maul as "Key Villain"
Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, who do you trust? Seriously, when it comes to Star Wars news now, who/where do you trust? See, I look at sites I trust due to their credibility, sites such as SlashFilm, Variety, Cinemablend, Collider, Entertainment Weekly, and The Hollywood Reporter. And now I have a little bit of doubt, the worst kind of doubt. The little whisper at the back of your head kind of doubt.

Where Will Jar Jar Binks Make His Return?
Ex-squeeze me, but where exactly is Jar Jar Binks? Over the last decade, we've seen quite the resurgence in prequel-related Star Wars content. Despite the mixed reception to the prequel trilogy, George Lucas did not give up on his plans for the franchise and went forward with the acclaimed animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Over the course of (eventually) seven seasons, the show fleshed out the era in a way that would simply be impossible in the span of just three movies. Following Disney's acquisition of the franchise in 2012, there seemed to be a bit of hesitation from Lucasfilm to openly embrace prequel content in its first few films. However, this would thankfully pass as Star Wars Rebels, Rogue One, The Last Jedi and more Star Wars projects would gradually integrate elements of the prequels.

In-Universe Music In Star Wars: What Are They Listening To?
The Star Wars films are known for their award-winning soundtracks. Countless current composers list the original Star Wars score as a massive influence, and it is among the greatest movie soundtracks of all time. John Williams. What else is there to say? He is the modern-day Mozart. Now there are modern greats like Kevin Kiner, Michael Giacchino, John Powell, Bear McCreary, Joseph Shirley, and Ludwig Göransson. Then there is Gordy Haab scoring Battlefront I and II, Squadrons, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Various amazingly talented composers also contribute to Star Wars Visions. They are all really great, but what about the music we hear within the Star Wars galaxy?

How The Damerons Could Turn Into The New Skywalkers
While Star Wars is filled with action and science fantasy, the core of all three trilogies is the Skywalker family – even the sequel trilogy, which claims to move away from the Skywalkers but revolves around Ben Solo (Organa Skywalker), and ends with Rey appropriating the Skywalker name. But now the Damerons are being poised as Star Wars’ next family of importance.

The Odd Creatures That Block The Force
That is not how the Force works…or is it? Star Wars Legends have a lot of strange and wacky things. Many of them are not always what many would consider in line with the mainstream lore of the Star Wars universe. Of course, that is a debate for another time. There are a few creatures that many would argue contradicted the way the Force. One of these creatures is simply known as the Ysalamiri.
