Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Theory: The Rebels Had A Secret Spy In The Imperial Navy
The various rebel cells fighting against the Empire and, later on, the consolidated Rebel Alliance employed various spies in order to learn about the plans of their common enemy and to stop their execution if possible. Probably best known are the “many Bothans” that died to “bring us this information”. But also, Cassian Andor was a spy for the Rebels, as well as the former ISB agent Alexsandr Kallus, who later switched his alliances and delivered crucial information to the rebels under his codename; Fulcrum.

Could This 'Return Of The Jedi' Character Return To Cause Havoc In 'The Book Of Boba Fett'?
Star Wars is filled with amazing, terrifying, fantastic, and dangerous creatures of all shapes and sizes. The galaxy is literally teeming with them. Perhaps one of the most famous of those creatures is Salacious B. Crumb, and it is not just because he has one of the most fun names in Star Wars. Fans of the series will recognize Crumb as the Kowakian monkey-lizard in Jabba’s palace. He served as Jabba’s pet and court jester, and his laughter echoed through all the throne room scenes in Return of the Jedi. It seemed that Crumb met with a similar fate as Jabba the Hutt and the rest of his crew when Jabba’s sail barge crashed, or so we thought. New information could suggest that Salacious B. Crumb will appear in The Book of Boba Fett.

Did Disney Save Star Wars?
When 2012 happened and George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney many wondered just what would happen to our beloved galaxy far, far away. No one quite knew what would happen to Star Wars without its beloved creator at the helm. Well, after eight years it is fair to say that Star Wars has not only survived but has thrived with more content and creativity than Star Wars fandom has ever dreamed about. There are movies, television shows, comics, and books galore. There is probably more Star Wars content now than there has ever been before. Although it was not always that way.

BioWare Gives Pleasing Update On 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' MMO
BioWare made one of the greatest Star Wars video games with Knights of the Old Republic. They followed it up with the also fantastic Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Fans longed for Knights of the Old Republic III, but after The Sith Lords, things went quiet from BioWare. Well, they did go on to make two small indie games called Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect, but things were completely silent on the Star Wars front. Then in 2011 BioWare released their follow-up to Knights of the Old Republic with an MMO aptly titled The Old Republic which, at the time, was the most expensive game ever made. Now, as the 10th anniversary of BioWare’s galactic MMO quickly approaches, BioWare commented on where the game will head to next.
