Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Was General Grievous Really A Coward Or A Tactical Genius?
There are many things that General Grievous is known for in the Star Wars universe. From his distinguishable cough to being a part of arguably the most iconic greeting with Obi-Wan Kenobi, fans have come to know and love the saber swinging cyborg. However, another thing associated with the Separatist general is his constant fleeing from the battlefield. Even in his first live action appearance in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith we see General Grievous fleeing within the first twenty minutes of the film. On the flip side, there is a higher possibility that his constant fleeing is not out of cowardice, but smart tactical moves.

Lucasfilm released the first official teaser trailer for The Books of Boba Fett about five weeks ago. Clocking in at a mere 1:48, it was enough to spark online fan theories and speculation. Is Fett a crime lord now, forming a crime syndicate with Fennec Shand? Fans even translated the Aurebesh on the back of his new throne. Apparently, it says his name. And what’s with Fett claiming he is not a bounty hunter? Hopefully, these questions will get answered in the episodes allotted.

When George Lucas wrote his space opera in three acts Star Wars in 1977, he knew there would be romance involved. From the prequel trilogy through the sequel trilogy, including Legends, here is a list of my favorite Star Wars romances.

Darth Vader is considered the most powerful Sith in the Galaxy. But how did Vader get so powerful? As the saga goes, all Sith Lords have special powers from the dark side of the Force. If you remember, in Episode III, Palpatine (Darth Sidious) tells Anakin stories of the Sith Lords’ powers they received from the dark side. Darth Vader became so powerful because he was sent to the Jedi Temple to destroy all Jedi and younglings living there. Darth Vader’s task and journey to the Jedi Temple occurred just shortly after Palpatine initiated Order 66. For Vader, accomplishing this heinous task only pushed him more into the dark side, giving him more power. The massacre of the Jedi brought Darth Vader power in many forms.

In Legends, the deaths of Darth Vader and of Emperor Palpatine effectively ended the line of the Sith, as it had been established by Sith Lord Darth Bane and his "Rule of Two". However, lurking in the shadows was a new and emergent Sith Lord (or Mistress) waiting through the galactic events that followed the end of the Empire to finally make her own mark on the galaxy, in some ways rivaling the powers of her master, Emperor Palpatine. Meet Shira Brie (aka Lady Lumiya).

Star Wars fans can be rabid sometimes. We do not have to go far back into the history of the series to see examples of how we as fans can act. And yet Star Wars has lent itself to numerous spoofs and parodies over the years where they just slip under the radar for most fans or are brushed off as an adorable musing from some faraway place. Even doing my own deep dive into the world of Star Wars parody, I came across a couple things I have never seen or heard of before.

The Star Wars sequel trilogy reintroduced us to the galaxy far, far away, with the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order. Little did Disney know, however, that there would be a much greater conflict that was about to take place, a conflict amongst the fans. Though everyone accepted The Force Awakens for the most part, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker left behind fan debates that still continue to this day, made Rian Johnson one of the most controversial names in Star Wars, and appeared to make the Resistance’s fight against the First Order look quaint in comparison with the battles within the fandom.

If there is one thing that many fans and storytellers agree on at the end of Return of the Jedi, it is that Han and Leia definitely end up together.

Let’s do a deep dive and see just what the parenthood of Han and Leia was like in both Legends and in canon.

While the original trilogy of Star Wars films sought to tell the story of Luke Skywalker, his friends, and the Rebel Alliance's struggle against the Empire, the prequel era detailed how the Republic fell. Specifically how the Jedi Order was eradicated, how Emperor Palpatine came to power, and the origins of the most iconic villain of all time, Darth Vader. The Sith Lord, formerly known as Anakin Skywalker, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights, betraying his friends, his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Republic for which he had fought and swore to protect, and his wife, Padme Amidala.

Star Wars Battlefront II is the most recent entry in the classic action-shooter franchise that has dropped fans into iconic firefights across the galaxy for years. Since the first entry came out in 2004, fans have relished the opportunity to feel what it would be like to be a clone trooper fighting across the plains of Naboo, or a rebel spy infiltrating enemy lines. As these games have moved into the realm of newer consoles, fans have eagerly awaited DLC (downloadable content) to reinvigorate their gameplay experience.
