Poe Dameron And Din Djarin Ring In The New Year With Festive Instagram Post
I guess we can agree that most of us are quite happy that 2020 has left the building, and that its successor has moved in. So far, 2021 hasn’t done a whole lot of wrong, but on the other hand, the pandemic also didn’t miraculously disappear when the clock jumped from 23:59:59 to 00:00:00.

What The Skywalker Family Would Have Looked Like Without Anakin's Fall To The Dark Side
Anakin Skywalker's fall to the Dark Side was the backbone of the George Lucas installments of the Star Wars saga - beginning his story as a young boy, and culminating in the climax of his redemption. It's the central heart of the Star Wars story - Anakin's path is the string that holds the Skywalker saga together in one piece. Fans watched him become the annoying teenager, then the tortured man vying to save the love of his life, and then as the young Jedi selling his soul to Palpatine. It's the most tragic of galactic stories. Anakin's turn to the Dark Side is a story that haunts the overall story - with characters from Obi-Wan to Luke wondering how and why their friend and father could fall so far.

Star Wars Novelist Shares His True Thoughts On 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'
Pretty much everyone who has seen the sequel trilogy has their opinion it and the individual films that make it up. Arguably, some of the most interesting opinions to hear are from those who have worked on Star Wars in some capacity. One such opinion that has recently gained attention is that of Alan Dean Foster, who was the ghost writer of the novelization for the original Star Wars film, as well as the writer of the first Expanded Universe novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye, an Attack of the Clones prelude of sorts titled The Approaching Storm, and the novelization for The Force Awakens.

Director For 'The Mandalorian' Showcases Footage Shot In His Backyard For Boba Fett Episode
The Mandalorian season 2 had no shortage of memorable moments. There were various directors and different feels for each episode. This gives each director a chance to put their own stamp on the Star Wars universe on the live-action front. It may not be too far-fetched to say that the show has become a testing ground for directors, as some of its contributors are moving forward with other projects within the franchise. Deborah Chow is working on the TV series Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Taika Waititi is working on a post-2023 Star Wars film that many speculate will take place in the far-flung past. Right now, the franchise has no shortage of directors, given that a TV show can allow for multiple directors for different episodes.

Disney Removed Rey And Finn's Romance From 'The Force Awakens' Novelization
Some of the best Star Wars stories are in the books and comics of the franchise. While much of the older such material is now the non-canon Star Wars Expanded Universe, rebranded Legends after Disney's acquisition, post-merger books are considered canon.

'Star Wars' Just Revealed Rey's "Alternate" Dark Side Design Concept Art
Some of the best parts of films or TV shows are when fans get to see concept art for the production, especially if it is a sci-fi or fantasy story. At the end of each episode of The Mandalorian, concept art is shown during the end credits of the episode. Some of it looks like what actually made it to screen, and some of it does not. For example, in season 2 of The Mandalorian, "Chapter 12: The Siege" had Grogu eating what looked like a blue macaroon cookie. In the concept art during the credits, the cookies were not colored blue yet.

Dave Filoni Shares New Sketch Of Ahsoka With Baby Yoda
One of the best things about the second season of The Mandalorian was that fans were given a look into the life of popular ex-Jedi and former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano. Since she left the Jedi Order after being cleared of false charges not long before Order 66, we've enjoyed seeing where she ended up after that. When fans first heard that she'd be in The Mandalorian, there were high hopes that we'd be in for a real treat.
