Why ‘Rogue Squadron’ Really Should Be A Disney+ Series
Star Wars Rogue Squadron will potentially be the next great Star Wars film to come to theaters near us, hopefully in 2023. Directed by Patty Jenkins, very little is known about this film, only that it will have the name of the famous X-Wing Squadron that helped the Rebel Alliance defeat the Evil Empire during the Galactic Civil War. First introduced in the Legends X-Wing Novel Series by Michael Stackpool, the name is famous among the Star Wars fandom. Whether or not the movie will have anything to do with the books of Legends is yet to be known, however one thing that has come to mind with this author is the following question; Should it be a movie at all, maybe it should be a Disney+ series?

Force users such as the Jedi and the Sith have frequently been the focal point of Star Wars content, showcasing the astonishing feats one could do with the power of the Force from influencing others' thoughts via mind tricks to lifting enormous objects with their minds. Non-Force users, on the other hand, also have a long track record and their fair share of impressive feats throughout lore. While the list is certainly non-exhaustive, a few are highlighted below to show the diverse nature of power and influence a non-Force user has in the galaxy far, far away.

How 'Star Wars: Queen's Hope' Offers New Insight Into Padmé And Anakin's Relationship
Before Reylo, no romantic relationship in Star Wars had been rockier than that of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. Brought on by naïve young love and solidified by secrets and war, Anakin and Padmé's marriage is essentially the franchise's equivalent to Romeo and Juliet, complete with a tragic ending that brings their previous lives to a bitter end. Their relationship also comes with a decent amount of baggage from how it was handled in the prequel trilogy. From the Shakespearean dialogue to Padmé's willingness to marry someone who slaughtered a village of men, women and children, writing for Anakin and Padmé in subsequent material is far from an easy task. However, this hasn't stopped writers from expanding upon their romance in ways that help it feel more natural and true to their characters. One certain writer who has done this especially well is none other than E.K. Johnston.

'Star Wars: Andor' To Feature Death Troopers and Mudtroopers
None of the Star Wars series coming to Disney+ are still more mysterious than Star Wars: Andor. This up-and-coming Disney+ series is set to take place before the film Rogue One starring that movie’s titular character Cassian Andor. Many suspect this will be a spy thriller detailing some of the earlier adventures of the Rebel Alliance as they fight the oppression of the Galactic Empire. Set during the Dark Times, we know that the Empire will have many forces under its disposal. Recently it was revealed that a few variants of the Imperial forces have been leaked, and we can now give details on what is to come.

New 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series LEGO Set Leaked
As of the writing of this article, we are still a few weeks away from the release of the Obi-Wan Kenobi television miniseries. It is probably the most highly anticipated Star Wars project since the second season of The Mandalorian. No doubt the return of the most beloved Scottish actor Ewan Mcgregor was a big boost. As we get closer and closer, and the hype is building, this might end up being one of the most-watched projects to come out of Disney+. At the very least, we have to hope that it will be better than the largely underwhelming The Book of Boba Fett.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series Composer Breaks Down Her Cherished Gift From John Williams
The music of Star Wars is forever associated with the name John Williams, and rightfully so. But from time to time, when the maestro is not available (or maybe not interested), some other composers get to write music or the saga, either for the big screen (like Michael Giacchino for Rogue One or John Powell for Solo) or for tv (like Kevin Kiner for The Clone Wars and Rebels or Ludwig Göransson for The Mandalorian).
