The Chilling Massacres By This Demon-like 'Star Wars' Species
The galaxy far, far away is a bloody and brutal universe. The Star Wars movies focus on war and the larger diplomatic struggles of an incredibly expansive universe. While there have been many brutal massacres mentioned in the films, from Order 66 in Revenge of the Sith to a reference to the Trillian Massacre in The Force Awakens, not to mention the genocide committed by the Death Star and Starkiller base attacks. One particular set of exceptionally brutal massacres stand out in Star Wars Legends. It was started by a particularly unique race who resembled devils in our world.

Obi-Wan Actually Hid Luke From The Rebellion, Not The Empire
Many Star Wars fans know the classic story: Skywalker twins are born, they are separated to be hidden from the Emperor, and Ben Kenobi watches over one of them (Luke). There is no doubt that they were to be hidden from the Empire. Ben Kenobi says as much in Return of the Jedi, and we see this play out at the end of Revenge of the Sith.

Comparing And Contrasting The Force In ‘Star Wars’ And Magic In ‘The Lord Of The Rings’
When film or writing students learn about the hero’s journey story arc in their introductory storytelling courses, two stories are almost always used as the example of the quintessential story: Star Wars: A New Hope and The Lord of the Rings. On the outside it may seem like they do not have as much in common with Star Wars being science fiction and The Lord of the Rings being fantasy. However, their stories eerily mirror each other. They both have an unseen entity that plays a role in the story: the Force in Star Wars and magic (mostly in the form of the One Ring) in The Lord of the Rings.

Chewbacca's Most Iconic Scenes
From the forests of Kashyyyk to the salt flats of Crait, Chewbacca has certainly seen a lot. He’s been through the ringer and served in every major war in Star Wars film history yet still managed to come out on the other side. He may be a big walking carpet, but it didn’t take long for Chewbacca to become a fan favorite. This is due in no small part to the amazing acting skills of the late Peter Mayhew. Despite not being able to talk, he still finds a way to be endearing and emotive. Even under all that fur and makeup, Mayhew is able to elevate Chewbacca to new heights across several iconic scenes. Here’s just a few of the Wookiee warrior’s more epic moments.

What Exactly Was Palpatine's Plan For Rey And Kylo?
Somehow, Palpatine has returned, and is apparently Rey’s grandpa. Rey being a Palpatine was a controversial choice, to say the least, when it comes to The Rise of Skywalker.

For when we see him in The Rise of Skywalker, he is occupying a broken body, a decayed clone body created for him in case of his death. However, what was his long term goal, how was the Dark Lord of the Sith back, and more importantly what were his plans for Rey?

Young Princess Leia Reportedly To Be In 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series was always bound to give us familiar faces. Given the title of the series, having Ewan McGregor back as Obi-Wan was a no-brainer. Eventually, it was officially announced that we would see the return of Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen), Beru Lars (Bonnie Piesse), and Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton). And fans have speculated that we may see a 10-year-old Luke Skywalker, which would make sense given that it is Kenobi's mission to watch over him. But what about a young Princess Leia Organa?

Will Star Wars: Visions Set the Seeds for Post-Rise of Skywalker?
Since the lackluster reception of Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker - both critically and commercially - Disney and Lucasfilm have been noticeably quiet about the Star Wars timeline after Rey proclaimed herself a Skywalker. None of the current Marvel comic series takes place during the sequel era, nor are any books announced for this timeline, and it seems that not one of the many Star Wars TV series that have been announced for Disney+ will deal with the aftermath of the Battle of Exegol. But for those who desperately want to get a glimpse of what’s the state of the galaxy after the end of the Skywalker saga, there is a spark of hope:
