Could 'Kenobi' Concept Art Hint At Video Game Character Movie Debut?
Star Wars fans have a lot to speculate about following the release of the concept art for the up and coming Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Some of the artwork has shown a character who looks eerily similar to a major villain from the video game Jedi: Fallen Order. Known to gamers as the Second Sister, the internet is abuzz about whether or not she could be making the transition from the world of gaming to the world of television. This would be the first instance where an original character in a game makes a transition to a role in a film or television series.

“Your overconfidence is your weakness.” — Luke Skywalker “Your faith in your friends is yours.” — The Emperor This classic exchange between Luke Skywalker and Darth Sidious in Return of the Jedi seems to be taking on new meaning with the Emperor’s return in the sequel trilogy. In the recently released tie-in book Secrets of the Sith, Sidious himself explains from his point of view how Luke’s choice to go into exile allowed for his unexpected return. The quote in question reads as follows:

This Anakin Skywalker Theory Solves One Of ‘Star Wars' Biggest Problems
One of the criticisms that Revenge of the Sith had to face was that Anakin’s fall to the Dark Side was too abrupt. True, there were troubling signs in the young Padawan and later Jedi that pointed in this direction, like his overconfidence and arrogance, or the cold-blooded slaughtering of a whole Tusken village without remorse. Still, during most of the prequel trilogy he was portrayed much more like a hero than a villain.

Why The First Act Of 'The Force Awakens' Is A Random Mess
One of the major issues in The Force Awakens is that the story beats lack a clear understanding of causation. Things happen because they need to happen. Somebody has concocted all these disparate set pieces beforehand and chronologized them, but no thought was given on how to move the characters from Point A to Point B to Point C. On the other hand, in A New Hope, Luke Skywalker comes into possession of two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, which leads him to meet Obi-Wan Kenobi, and that starts his adventures. In The Force Awakens, Rey comes into possession of BB-8, which leads her to meet Fin, and that starts her adventures.

Did A 'Star Wars' Comic Foreshadow Hayden Christensen's Return And Hint At Character Arc?
It has been confirmed for a while now that Hayden Christiansen will be returning to his role as Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming Star Wars Disney+ show Ahsoka, alongside Rosario Dawson. Anakin Skywalker was deemed to be The Chosen One who was a central figure in a Jedi prophecy that would bring balance to the Force and destroy the Sith. The prophecy also said that The Chosen One would become the strongest Force-sensitive in the entire galaxy. It has long been a matter of debate as to exactly what bringing balance to the Force actually meant to the Star Wars universe and it has never been truly clarified.

Did You Know Grand Moff Tarkin Protected The Rebellion Before 'A New Hope'
In Star Wars: A New Hope, Grand Moff Tarkin aggressively attempts to show the Empire's power by destroying the Rebel planet of Alderaan. This incident demonstrates how the Empire and the aura of the dark side made a once patient General, into a fierce symbol of terror. This is an unambiguous transformation within Tarkin that A New Hope exhibits. In the 2017 comic, Darth Vader #13, Tarkin was more patient and less fierce. In Tarkin's early years leading the Empire, he was strict about using deadly force, restricting its use to only when it was justifiable. This reasoning changes many years later when the Empire captures Princess Leia and Tarkin orders the planet of Alderaan destroyed.

'Star Wars' Confirms That Leia Struck A Deal With Crimson Dawn
The crime syndicate known as Crimson Dawn was a ruthless and cut-throat organization that would enact any number of brutal practices to reach their desired goals. Crimson Dawn can trace their roots back to a band of mercenaries who cut out the tongues of anyone who defied them. A member of Maul's Shadow Collective during the Clone Wars, Crimson Dawn was composed of smugglers, thieves, enforcers, and criminals of every ilk imaginable. Through a series of infighting and misguided missions, Lady Qi'ra took control of the syndicate from Dreydon Vos and Maul, jockeying it into a position of power that allowed her to compete with the Hutt Cartel and even the mighty Galactic Empire.

How COVID has changed the Galaxy's Edge Experience at WDW
I had the pleasant experience of visiting Walt Disney World's Galaxy Edge on two separate days during October of this year. The trip was mainly for pleasure, but I thought that I would also take the opportunity to observe and record some of the differences between my previous experience of Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland (California) in 2019 (pre-COVID) and my recent experience of Galaxy's Edge in Walt Disney World (Florida) while (still) in the midst of COVID. I also decided that I would attempt to speak with some Cast Members at Galaxy's Edge and see if I could get some input from cast members whom have been working there before and throughout what one cast member referred to as "The Great Upset" (aka COVID).
