‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’: Disney+ 'Star Wars Series' Adds Maya Erskine
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series for Disney+ is on track as far as production is concerned. Set ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, it will see the return of Ewan McGregor as the titular character, as well as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader actor Hayden Christensen. Kathleen Kennedy has said that the two will have a rematch of sorts, though we do not know story details beyond that. Given that Kenobi is in exile at this point, it is natural that the actors Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse, who portrayed young Owen and Beru in the prequel trilogy, would be returning. Lucasfilm recently announced a large cast list, but now there is some reporting of a name that did not appear on that list.

James Gunn Says 'Knights Of The Old Republic' Is The Greatest Video Game Of All Time
Director James Gunn is a big ol’ nerd. The popular filmmaker, best known for directing the Guardians of the Galaxy films for Marvel Studios and Disney, in addition to writing and directing the upcoming The Suicide Squad sequel for WarnerMedia and DC Films. Not only does Gunn love comic books and animation, but he loves video games, too. One of his favorite video games is the classic Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for various gaming platforms, which he prefers over anything that’s Star Wars-related in the franchise, including films, books, TV shows, toys, etc.

Bo-Katan Thought The Luke Skywalker Cameo Was Really This Character
Season 2 of Disney+’s The Mandalorian gave us so many amazing surprises and epic cameos that changed the future of Star Wars for the better. Although seeing Ahsoka in live-action shocked fans to the next level, the one cameo that brought fans to their knees was that of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker in the season finale.

Wookiees May Be Appearing In 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
Despite season 2 ending only a short while ago, it is abundantly clear that The Mandalorian is an absolute hit and fans are more than happy to have it included as part of the ever growing Star Wars universe. It would seem that Disney has also taken note of this and heard the fans' joy, based on the numerous TV shows it now has in the pipeline to further expand said universe.

Darth Revan May Be Making His Return To 'Star Wars' Canon After All
The character Revan came into existence in 2003 with the critically acclaimed game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. We were introduced to this former Jedi who had previously led the Republic against the Mandalorians. After succumbing to the temptation of the dark side of the Force, he returns as Darth Revan leading the Sith forces against the Republic. The prelude of the game tells us that Revan was finally brought down as a result of Jedi Knight Bastila’s powerful battle meditation, and his apprentice Darth Malak’s betrayal. For the remainder of the game, the player controls an amnesiac presumably Republic soldier who eventually gains Force powers, and undergoes Jedi training in order to fight against Darth Malak’s remaining Sith forces. Warning: spoilers ahead (although, this game is well past the statute of limitations for spoilers). In what was possibly the most shocking twist in the Star Wars universe since the revelation that Darth Vader is Luke’s father in The Empire Strikes Back, the player discovers that their character is none other than Revan, the great Sith Lord they kept hearing about and whose forces they are now fighting against.

Disney Teasing Darth Revan For Possible Return Into Modern Canon
As I have said many times, Darth Revan is one of the greatest Jedi/Sith that has existed in Star Wars, and he is an absolute fan-favorite character. He is one of the characters fans have clamored to be put back into canon since the division between canon and Legends. Unfortunately, that meant that Darth Revan along with most characters and events from Knights of the Old Republic and the subsequent games in the series were thrown into Legends purgatory. However, Disney and Lucasfilm seem to be inching ever closer to giving us Darth Revan in canon, and we may have gotten our first real hint at that through The Rise of Skywalker.

Mena Massoud Shows Up As Ezra Bridger In Jaw-Dropping Concept Art
I think about Ezra Bridger all the time. When Star Wars Rebels started, I worried that the character would take after the too immature live-action Anakin. Thankfully, I was wrong. By the end of the series run of Rebels, Ezra Bridger proved to be a fantastic character that everyone adored. The finale ensured that there was indeed more to come. Now that we fans have a live-action Ahsoka, we want and deserve a similar Ezra.

You Don't Know These Facts About Darth Vader's Suit
Darth Vader’s silhouette is one of the most recognizable ones in cinema history. Even people who have never seen a Star Wars film and know nothing about the saga will most likely say something like, “Yes, this is the bad guy from Star Wars, the one with the breathing problems.”

10 Things That Don't Make Sense In 'The Mandalorian'
Star Wars fans have seen two seasons of The Mandalorian on Disney+ so far, and yet, there are still questions that need answered and things that just don’t make sense within the story. Most stories are going to have plot holes in them; it’s totally normal. But there are some in The Mandalorian that have been bothering fans for a while.

'Andor' Star Reveals What Made Him Sign Onto The Show
What makes an actor decide to work on a movie? Is it the script? Is it the director? Is it the producer? What made Robert Downey Jr. sign on to play Iron Man for ten movies and become Iron Man personified? (No, Robert Downey Jr. is not the next actor to appear in the Star Wars universe anytime soon, although I would not mind seeing him in the galaxy far, far away.)

The Differences Between Galaxy's Edge In Disneyland Vs. Disney World
One of Disney's most ambitious theme park expansions in recent years has brought the galaxy far, far away closer to home at its domestic locations in Anaheim, California and Orlando, Florida in the form of Galaxy's Edge, which now exists in Star Wars canon as a trading outpost known as Black Spire on Batuu. This location has since been featured in some print stories set between Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker.
