Check Out 'The Art Of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge'
Welcome back, fellow Star Wars fans. Today, we are bringing you something a little special indeed. I would assume that, by now, we are all aware of the fabulous Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge? Well, if not, this is a themed area within the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California and the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida based on, you guessed it, Star Wars. It is basically heaven for Star Wars fans alike, as it brings a huge amount of the galaxy far, far away into real life for us to casually hang out at. It contains rides, restaurants, and shops inspired by the sets used onscreen, with others taking inspiration from places we see in the films and in other canonical stories. You can even build your own custom lightsaber.

Every Order Palpatine Has Throughout 'Star Wars' (Besides Order 66)
Order 66 is one of the most well known and devastating moments in the Skywalker saga. As Palpatine's evil machinations come to fruition, the trap laid for the Jedi over the course of several decades is sprung. Order 66 is bloody and brutal. Especially for fans of the animated The Clone Wars, seeing the guardians of peace and justice wiped out by their own troopers is heart wrenching. While this Order was the ultimate goal behind the creation of the clone army, there are several other important Contingency Orders instilled in the Kaminoan-created troopers (in Legends, at least). Every trooper is required to memorize these Orders before they are promoted from cadet. Any clone found to be in violation of these Orders would be accused of treason against the Grand Army of the Republic, stripped of rank, and subject to execution.

Why Lando Wore Han Solo's Clothing At The End Of 'The Empire Strikes Back'
There are certain questions regarding the original Star Wars trilogy that remain unanswered even after four decades, like why Leia can remember her real mother while Luke cannot. Another of these questions - probably less important, but still persisting for a long time - is why Lando Calrissian seemingly wears Han Solo’s clothes at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.

Luke Skywalker Carried A Sith's Lightsaber Crystal In 'The Last Jedi'
The Star Wars films are filled with various objects that may not be noticeable right away and are later discovered to have huge stories behind them. An example of this is the dice that Han Solo has on the Millennium Falcon. While these dice are barely noticeable in the original film, the more recent films Solo: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi have emphasized how much meaning there is behind the dice that Han Solo carries. They are now seen as an important part of the character.

Everything You Need To Know About The KOTOR Remake
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best, if not the best, Star Wars games ever made. Fans have been clamoring for more from the series since the release of the 2003 game and its later sequel. The Old Republic MMO which released in 2011 scratched that itch for a lot of fans, but it still wasn’t quite what fans wanted. Also, since the MMO’s launch, news has been silent concerning anything to do with Knights of the Old Republic. Rumors circulated for years that there would be a remake of the game, and some fans even started recreating it in Unreal Engine IV. However, nothing concrete had been announced, and with the Disney purchase of Lucasfilm and the de-canonizing of most of that story, it was uncertain if Revan would ever get to see fame in a game again until now. Last week's confirmation was seemingly given that a remake of KOTOR is in the works currently.

The Terrifying Origin Story Behind This Dark Side User?
Throughout the history of Star Wars, we’ve seen the many ways the Jedi were purged from existence across the galaxy. But if the Jedi were eliminated from history, where do Inquisitors come from? This is a question that has been asked by Star Wars fans not in the know, since Inquisitors made their first canonical appearance in Star Wars Rebels. Inquisitors are dark side Force-sensitive beings who serve the Empire and help Lord Vader to hunt down the surviving Jedi throughout the galaxy.

The Reason Rian Johnson Can't Direct An Episode For 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
The Mandalorian has been a great success among both Star Wars and TV fans. The fast paced action, well written characters, feel-good wholesome moments, and a proper amount of fan service have endeared the show to millions. The adorable little green baby helps, as well. A large part of the success of the show comes from the talented cast and crew that Disney and Lucasfilm have brought onboard. Headed up by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, they have added the likes of Pedro Pascal, Rosario Dawson, and Carl Weathers in front of the camera and Deborah Chow, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Taika Waititi behind the scenes. While season 3 of the hit show may seem entirely too far away for the liking of many fans (including this writer), there is no end to the speculation, fan casting, and scouring the internet for leaks.

Early Chewbacca Concept Art Illustrates Concerns Of Studio Execs
It's no secret that George Lucas' early ideas for Star Wars were, to put it lightly, very, very different from the final product we got. His original drafts featured everything from Luke being a 65-year old man with a robot head to Han Solo as a weird alien, which would have been detrimental to the film, and the story beats were all over the place. It wouldn't have been the simple, well-paced, enjoyable film we got, and would have instead gone down in history as an odd experimental sci-fi movie from a promising young director. Heck, an early title considered for it was Adventures of the Starkiller as taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars. Thankfully, we got the changes, and thus we have Star Wars.

New 'Andor' Set Photos Reveal New Spaceship For Show
If one were to go back in time to ten years ago and say that there would be multiple live-action Star Wars shows running simultaneously after the release of a sequel trilogy and a couple of spin-off films, probably very few would have believed it. And yet here we are, with the first live-action Star Wars show The Mandalorian having graced the screens, and a bunch of other live-action Disney+ shows known to be on the way.

'Battlefront II' Gets Massive Game Enhancements Including Backwards Compatibility For Xbox
When it comes to backwards compatibility (the ability to play games of consoles long gone on current generation consoles), Microsoft and Xbox stand way out in front of the rest. Xbox 360 allowed us to play certain games from the original Xbox console. Xbox One allowed us to play games from both previous consoles. Then Game Pass launched and did very much change our outlook on playing old games. Whilst Sony did bring out a version of the PS3 that could play PS2 games, it never really took off the same as it did for Xbox. Fans have loved this ability so much, it has since become an expected element of any new Xbox console.

A Galaxy Of Character Possibilities For 'The Bad Batch'
The Disney+ original animated Star Wars series, The Bad Batch, is set to premiere on this upcoming May The Fourth. It will feature a group of renegade clone troopers, Clone Force 99 (colloquially known as "The Bad Batch"), Hunter, Echo, Crosshair, Tech, and Wrecker, who possess "useful mutations." Last seen toward the end of The Clone Wars fighting with the other clones and Jedi, they now appear to be on the lam from the newly established Empire that apparently seeks to eliminate them.
