Did You Know Vader Once Learned From Someone Far More Insidious Than Palpatine?
In the early years of the Empire when Darth Vader has finally hunted down and slain all remaining Jedi, the newly self-appointed Emperor allows his apprentice to settle down on a planet of his choosing. Darth Vader chooses the lava covered planet of Mustafar and it is there where he meets the ancient Sith Lord Darth Momin. In Darth Vader (2017) #22 by Charles Soule, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Daniele Orlandini, and David Curiel it shows the two Sith forming an unlikely alliance to craft a door to open the dark side Force Locus. The same place where Darth Vader bled his kyber crystal. But as dark and evil as Darth Vader is he will find Darth Momin to be even darker and more twisted than anything he’s seen before.

The Evolution Of Star Wars Canon
September of 2014 was a new and exciting time for Star Wars fans. Disney had purchased Lucasfilm two years before. Star Wars Episode VII (the title hadn’t been announced yet) was in post-production. Star Wars comics were three months away from returning to Marvel. Sadly, the top-rated animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars was canceled. However, shorts of the new animated series Star Wars Rebels were airing in anticipation of its premiere in October 2014. And the first new Star Wars canon novel, Star Wars: A New Dawn, was released on September 2, 2014. The snowball was just forming.

Why Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm, And Disney Didn't Ruin Your Childhood
Most people can remember the first time they watched a Star Wars movie. I would imagine that these are childhood memories like mine in many cases. I was eight years old when I first saw Star Wars, and I was addicted from the get-go. I had the toys and the comics, and everything revolved around Star Wars.

Opinion: Why Kenobi Will Be The ‘Last Jedi’ Of The Disney+ Series
Obi-Wan Kenobi... Obi-Wan Kenobi … That’s a name that fans haven’t heard in a long time, a long time, especially when the person about to play Obi-Wan Kenobi will be none other than Ewan McGregor. This has been something that fans have been dying to see for years, ever since the end of Revenge of the Sith. A movie or show set in the post-Episode III world, before Episode IV has been something fans have been clamoring for, for years.

Star Wars The Acolyte Has Cast Its Lead Actor
Breaking news from the galaxy far, far, away; Or in this case, the good folks down at Lucasfilm who are making stories set in that galaxy, for it seems that more progress is happening with one of their many productions, with The Acolyte having an eye on its lead role. According to Variety, that role will belong to actress Amandla Stenberg, known for roles in The Hate U Give and The Hunger Games. If all plays out, she would be an amazing addition to the Star Wars universe and possibly the first woman of color to have a starring role in a Star Wars property.

Why Making Anakin A Force Ghost Was A Bad Idea
Force ghosts are the epitome of becoming one with the Force and finding true balance within yourself, life, and the universe. Unfortunately, it is a technique that very few Jedi have ever managed to obtain. Yet, this is in many ways the ultimate way to achieve eternal peace and happiness. So then why did Anakin Skywalker, of all people, become a force ghost?

Temuera Morrison Teases 'Book Of Boba Fett' Will Answer Some Unresolved ‘Star Wars’ Questions From The Franchise
Boba Fett himself, Temuera Morrison, has teased that fans will be getting a lot of answers to their questions in The Book of Boba Fett. Morrison first appeared as Boba Fett in season 2 of The Mandalorian, and The Book of Boba Fett will pick up with Boba post-season 2. However, The Mandalorian takes place 5 years after Return of the Jedi, and the last time fans saw Boba was when he fell into the pit of the almighty sarlacc. In The Mandalorian, we find out that he is very much alive. That has left many of us wondering how he escaped along with a ton of other questions. If Morrison’s comments are correct, we will be getting all the answers we could ever want.

Why ‘Star Wars’ SERIOUSLY Needs A Wildlife/Nature Show On Disney+
Seriously, why is this NOT a thing? Now this article is going to be a little different. It is a mixture of an opinion piece and a pitch if you will. I'm totally behind this idea and from the feedback I've gotten, it seems most fans would be open to a wildlife/nature show set within the Star Wars universe. That feedback not only surprised me, but I think it will also surprise you.

We Bet You Missed This Detail From ‘Return of the Jedi’
The Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi marked a triumphal moment in the Star Wars galaxy. The Rebel Alliance, led by Han Solo, managed to deactivate the deflector shield on Endor, and a starfighter squadron led by Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles managed to destroy the main reactor of the second Death Star, vaporizing the battle station and leaving Palpatine's Galactic Empire on life support. The most significant moment of the Battle of Endor, however, might be when Anakin Skywalker, enslaved to the dark side for decades as Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith, sees Luke's suffering at the hands of his dark master, Emperor Palpatine, and decides to sacrifice himself to save Luke by throwing Palpatine down a nearby shaft.

The Obi-Wan In The ‘Kenobi’ Series May Be Totally Different From What We Expect...And Why It's A Good Thing
Every story needs a journey. And, no, that is not a reference to a geographical journey, characters simply going from here to there and having one adventure after another. Some blockbusters don’t understand this. They think flinging characters through increasingly extraordinary action sequences will be exciting and engaging. Ultimately, though, we grow desensitized to it all. The unrelenting action becomes the equivalent of visual white noise.

Opinion: 'Star Wars' Fans Shouldn't Ignore Constructive Criticism
As Star Wars fans, we love to enjoy Star Wars. We love to watch, analyze and speculate about it. Star Wars is basically the only thing that's kept me sane throughout this great disaster of a year. But just because something brings us joy doesn't mean it's above critique. Though sadly, many Star Wars fans seemingly prefer to ignore constructive criticism when aspects of the franchise are notably flawed.
