Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Frank Oz Describes How He Came Up With Yoda's Unique Way Of Speaking
The Star Wars franchise is one of the most iconic of all time. The first three films of George Lucas’s space opera proved that the world craved science fiction stories on the big screen, and that they had potential to make it big at the box office. The second film in the trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back, introduced the world to the character known as Master Yoda.

The Real Life Implications Of Luke Skywalker's Actions In 'Star Wars'
When the first Star Wars movie was released back in 1977, it was clear that this was a classic story of good vs evil. George Lucas did his absolute best to ensure audiences understood Luke Skywalker, and by extension the Jedi/Rebels, were the good guys, and the Empire were the bad guys. This theme obviously continued throughout the original trilogy, then the prequel trilogy showed us just how the galaxy ended up under the control of Emperor Sheev Palpatine.

Armorer Actress Discusses Her Character's Future After 'The Mandalorian' Season 1
The first season of The Mandalorian introduced a fair amount of new Star Wars characters to Disney+ viewers a couple of years ago. Din Djarin and Grogu were the focus of the show, but there were some interesting side characters as well, one of them being a Mandalorian simply known as "The Armorer," portrayed by Emily Swallow. We last saw her in the aftermath of Imperials having killed some underground Mandalorians on the planet Navarro. She remains behind, and is able to take down some stormtroopers who come her way.

Star Wars Detours is one of the last remnants of the Lucas era of Lucasfilm. The idea for a Star Wars parody show written by the very writers of Robot Chicken itself. The first full season was pretty much written, animated, and filmed. It’s there in the vaults of Lucasfilm just waiting to be released. Every so often, one of the actors, writers, or showrunners will come out to talk about the project and express their feelings on what might happen, or might not happen, with this locked up piece of Star Wars history.

How Han Solo's Paranoia Saved The Heroes In 'A New Hope'
"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, farm boy!" -Han Solo (A New Hope) Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, the one that started it all, had several points in its story where, had things gone differently, the adventure could have ended disastrously for our heroes. Arguably, all the Star Wars movies had these kinds of moments, but the stakes somehow seem at their highest in A New Hope, when the Empire could have dealt a fatal blow to the nascent Rebel Alliance, ending the hope of freedom in the galaxy, at least within the short term.

Check Out This Deleted Boba Fett Scene From ‘Mandalorian’ Season 2
Every fan loves behind-the-scenes, bloopers, and deleted scenes from their favorite movies and shows. Disney and Lucasfilm know this very well, and recently released a new shot from a scene that was intended to be in The Mandalorian depicting a meeting between certain two characters. A Disney Gallery episode recently showcased the return of Luke Skywalker from the end of season 2 of Mandalorian, which in turn jump-started more conversation involving Book of Boba Fett and some characters that will be in that show. Of course, we do not know much since Lucasfilm and Disney are notoriously staying silent on the particulars. With the series’ scheduled release date of December 2021 coming up very soon, hopefully we will see more promotional material, or perhaps some teaser trailers some time this October or November at the latest.

KOTOR Remake Will Be A PS5 Exclusive At Launch
Are you still on the fence about buying the PS5? Perhaps you are currently on the hunt for one, constantly stalking retail sites for when the restock happens. The news that came out during Sony’s Playstation Showcase will probably renew your effort. We already know that Aspyr, the company responsible for bringing past Star Wars titles like Republic Commando, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy to modern consoles, will be in charge of remaking the immensely popular Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR). Along with releasing the trailer featuring Darth Revan in high definition, Playstation also announced that Knights of the Old Republic Remake will be a Playstation 5 console exclusive at launch alongside a PC release. The game may be released to other consoles at a later date. This is a little ironic given that the original Knights of the Old Republic was an Xbox exclusive back when it was first released in 2003.

Should The Clone Commandos Be Training The Stormtroopers?
Star Wars: The Bad Batch recently tied up the loose ends on what happened to the Clone Army following Order 66. Recently, the series brought an end to the era of the clones in the galaxy with the destruction of a key Star Wars location in "Return to Kamino" and "Escape from Kamino." The new animated series has been largely focused on the transition of power between the fallen Republic and the newly risen Empire, and a big part of that has been the shift from clone troopers to the first Imperial stormtroopers.

The Most Underrated Clones In 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars'
The Clone Wars successfully fulfilled George Lucas' vision for the clone troopers, transforming them from obedient, organic droids into soldiers with unique motivations and personality, striving for a common goal. Each clone exhibits their own traits and strengths that make them invaluable to the Grand Army of the Republic and favorites in the eyes of fans. Rex, Gregor, Cody, the Bad Batch, Fives, and many others are all common characters when discussing some of the best Star Wars storytelling. However, there are several clones who are not as highly ranked by most people. These troopers still valiantly served the Republic and often played key roles in The Clone Wars arcs and the dangerous campaigns of the in-universe Clone Wars. Here we will be examining three of these lesser known, yet still invaluable, warriors of the Republic.
