One of Disney’s most anticipated Star Wars shows coming to Disney+ is the Star Wars: Ahsoka series. The star of the series is, of course, fan favorite Ahsoka Tano, played in the live action by Rosario Dawson.

Why Cad Bane's Death Was Perfect In 'The Book of Boba Fett' Finale
"You can only get so far without a tribe." When Boba Fett said this line in Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm, it was the moment I finally understood where The Book of Boba Fett was taking its (mostly) central protagonist. Though Boba started out with his own team of bounty hunters known as the Krayt's Claw in The Clone Wars, he would become far more of an independent mercenary in his adult years. Going it alone and taking down anyone who got in his way, Boba cared not for the well-being of others and killed whoever he needed to in order to achieve his goals. That was until the sarlacc.

Since the heat death of the universe will come before Disney stops pumping out more Star Wars content, one of the next planned shows for Disney+ will be a prequel series to 2017's Rogue One, centered around the character of Cassian Andor. So far, not much has been revealed beyond that the show will take place five years before the events of Rogue One, but one thing we have found out is who will be behind the soundtrack.

Patrick Stewart Discusses His 'Doctor Strange 2' Appearance
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is only a few months away, and fans are eagerly awaiting the sequel. Avengers: Endgame planted the seeds of the multiverse, Loki and WandaVision took us closer, and Spider-Man: No Way Home brought the multiverse to us. Now, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness looks to be taking us through the multiverse. No Way Home barely scratched the surface of the possibilities and dangers of the multiverse, and it defied expectations and precedents by giving us three Spider-Men on screen at once. With Doctor Strange promising a maddening journey through the multiverse, there could potentially be a Marvel character from any comic or film appearing in the movie. Fans already have a pretty good idea who might be returning based on the trailer for the film which premiered during the Super Bowl.

What Does The Future Of The DCEU Look Like?
DC has traditionally been split into two distinct streams for its storytelling in the live-action world. On the one hand, we have the movies known as the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The films released under the DCEU banner were Man Of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League (plus the Zack Snyder release), Aquaman, Shazam!, Birds Of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, and The Suicide Squad. On the other hand, we have TV shows known as the Arrowverse. This comprised Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends Of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Batwoman, and Superman & Lois. These two streams have, on the whole, been living quite happily in blissful isolation from each other.

Why Obi-Wan And Vader’s Encounter In The Upcoming 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series Is Already George Lucas Canon
Since the release of Revenge of the Sith in 2005, I have been proclaiming that the upcoming encounter of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader was actually set up by George Lucas himself, as evidenced by dialogue in Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, and Return of the Jedi. It is essentially already implied G-level canon. Follow me here. It is completely logical, and not even a theory. It is plain as day once you look at the dialogue presented in Lucas’ saga films.

Helmet Plot Point Teased By 'The Mandalorian' Season 3 Writer
The political and social structure of the Mandalorians is complex. Karen Traviss spent several novels carving out the hierarchy and relation of the different clans and houses, as well as the dos and don’ts of being a Mandalorian. Most of this got thrown out of the window when George Lucas and Dave Filoni decided to present a more peaceful Mandalore in The Clone Wars with only a small faction called the Death Watch still clinging to the ancient warrior ways. Both The Clone Wars and Rebels presented the Mandalorians as a deeply shattered society with constantly shifting alliances, torn between isolation and the urge to play a bigger role in the galaxy.

How Did Anakin Skywalker Get His Scar?
A mad clown once asked, “You want to know how I got these scars?” He gave a few contradictory stories, but the core meaning was the same; his scars had a story, even if he was just making it up, or misremembering. This mad clown was of course, the Joker, specifically the Dark Knight incarnation. Of course, with the many versions of the Joker out there, you never know what you’re going to get, but it tends to be somewhere on the scales of funny and evil.
