A Brief History Of The Sith
What follows is the known history of the Sith until Darth Bane's Rule of Two. The Sith history that we are most familiar with are the events surrounding Anakin Skywalker and his descendants as portrayed in the main Star Wars movies from Episode I: The Phantom Menace to Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Much of the Sith lore set chronologically prior to the start of the prequel trilogy is considered Legends, and not yet officially recognized as canon. This author will make such distinctions as appropriate.

Kevin Feige Shoots Down Thought About 'Star Wars' And Marvel Crossover Movie
Probably every company longs to have a charismatic leader with a coherent vision of what should be done and what shouldn’t. Steve Jobs was such a man, Elon Musk may be one of them (at least he’s charismatic), and Kevin Feige is also one of them.

Darth Vader And Grand Moff Tarkin Almost Crossed Paths In 'Rogue One'
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was a huge turning point for the franchise under Disney back in 2016. It was the first Star Wars theatrical film to be set outside of the Skywalker saga within canon. The film turned out to be a huge critical and financial success, as well as one of the most popular films in the Star Wars community. But one of the great things about it is some ties to the main saga and some familiar faces. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and, of course, Darth Vader, returned to the franchise in live-action for the first time in years. However, these two important characters in the franchise never even shared a scene together in the final product.

'Star Wars' Reveals Exclusive Death Trooper-Like Clones From 'The Bad Batch'
Via reporting from CBR.com, we have learned that recent Star Wars reveals indicate that death troopers, the Empire's elite stormtrooper guards first seen escorting Imperial Director Orson Krennic and fighting against the Rebels on Scarif in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), may have derived their looks from a newly revealed clone trooper that will appear in The Bad Batch. The death troopers have also been featured elsewhere, protecting Imperial dignitaries in other recent Star Wars series such as Rebels and The Mandalorian, so they are not just a one-and-done, and we are seeing their evolution thanks to an action figure being released by Hasbro, which is of a trooper type set to be introduced in the upcoming Star Wars Disney+ animated series, The Bad Batch.

The Alternate Reylo Moment That Fans Never Got
When the Star Wars sequel trilogy started, viewers were not completely certain what would be the endgame for Rey and Kylo Ren. Some people shipped them right away, and others were heavily against the pairing because of Kylo's despicable actions. It was a bit of a surprise when the last chapter of the trilogy, The Rise of Skywalker, ended with Ben Solo turning back to the light side, reviving a dead Rey, getting a kiss from her, and then dying peacefully because of all the effort that it took for him to revive her. Some people liked this ending, and some were put off by it, because it (intentionally or not) felt like it was sending a message that people could only be redeemed by dying. We saw this happen with Anakin Skywalker, so this felt like another retread.
