Were The Effects Of Order 66 On Clones Only Temporary?
In a recent episode of The Bad Batch, we saw something that we have not seen yet from clone troopers. Rebellion. Yes. Clones rebelling against the Empire.

The Missed Opportunities To Explore Ben Solo's Lineage
As with any story that spans 60 years, multiple generations play key roles in the Skywalker Saga. From Anakin and Padme in the Clone Wars, to Luke, Leia, and Han during the Galactic Civil War, to Rey, Finn, and Poe opposing Kylo Ren and the First Order, a large cast of characters struggle over the balance of light and dark. The vast majority of these main players also happen to be part of the Skywalker family, leading to inherited backstory and depth for future generations.

John Wayne's Secret Role in 'Star Wars'
It is no secret that the films and television shows centering on the galaxy far, far away are chock full of Easter eggs and secret cameos for fans to try and find. It seems celebrities all over the world will do almost anything just to say they have been in Star Wars with many begging and pleading with George Lucas. There is one legendary actor who, one could say, started it all. It was "The Duke" himself, John Wayne. However, it was not exactly a cameo in the traditional sense as he did not appear on screen.

Comparing/Contrasting TCW 2008 With 2003-2005 Multimedia Clone Wars Project
To many fans born in 2008 or coming into Star Wars fandom of that time, the epic tales of the Clone Wars were told in the 2008 CGI animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars created by George Lucas. This six and eventually seven-season show told the tales of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano along with the other characters of the prequels as they have adventures against the Separatist forces as well as the insidious Darth Sidious who plots to turn the Republic into the Empire from behind the scenes. However, for an older generation who grew up when the prequels were being released in the movie theater, another set of stories told the tale of the Clone Wars, and that was the multimedia project.

The Shocking Things Maz Kanata Did In Her Past
Maz Kanata was one of the most interesting characters that were introduced in the sequel trilogy. From the first minute Han, Rey, and the gang arrived at her castle, it immediately left people in awe and full of intrigue. Also, Maz as a character was full of wisdom and demanded respect. She was almost like the sequel trilogy’s Ben Kenobi and for good reason. She was over a millennium old, so there was a certain amount of implied history about Maz Kanata, but it was never really shown in any of the films. In the expanded lore, however, we got a better look at what Maz did before her introduction in The Force Awakens, and it was not what one might be considered Jedi business.
