RUMOUR: 'Spider-Man: No Way Home Director' To Join Unknown 'Star Wars' Project
It is rumored that Spider-Man director, Jon Watts, will be joining Star Wars. Jon Watts is reportedly scheduled to direct at least one of the episodes of a new Disney+ Star Wars series.

Does 'Star Wars' Benefit From Having A Single Creative Vision?
Star Wars fans tend to have strong opinions on what the best and worst Star Wars films are. There also appears to be a distaste for whatever the most recent Star Wars trilogy is. Everyone tends to agree the original trilogy are the best Star Wars films, but opinions on the following films seem to vary by generation. When I was younger, everyone seemed to hate the prequel trilogy, and now everyone seems to hate the sequel trilogy. People often blame George Lucas for the negative things about the prequel trilogy and Kathleen Kennedy gets a lot of hate for the sequel trilogy.

Top 6 Things We Want To See Happen In 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
With Book of Boba Fett, we rather unexpectedly got a glimpse into what the Mandalorian, Din Djarin, has been up to since he handed off care and training of Grogu to Luke Skywalker at the end of Season 2 of The Mandalorian. To do a quick recap, Din was excommunicated from his Covert due to having removed his helmet twice during the events of Season 2, which he was ultimately forced to admit. He got a new ship, a restored Naboo N-1 Starfighter, to replace his destroyed Razorcrest. And, most importantly, Grogu decided against continuing his Jedi training with Luke and took the beskar chainmail armor Din had left for him and returned to Din on Tatooine. On Tatooine, Grogu helped save the day by putting a Rancor to sleep, before flying off into space again with Din. With these things established, here are some things we want to see happen in Mandalorian Season 3.

Why The Imperials In 'Star Wars' Didn't Respect Or Fear Darth Vader As Much As They Should Have
We have all recognized Darth Vader’s magnificence in the Star Wars universe. He is the Emperor’s apprentice, a Sith Lord, a powerful Force user, a military leader, and, simply, a badass. However, when we first meet him in A New Hope, he is curiously placed in their hierarchy. He seems to be Grand Moff Tarkin’s lackey and regarded indifferently by the Empire’s officers. There is that iconic scene in A New Hope where Vader informs the fleet brass that they will soon recover the lost Death Star plans. Admiral Motti suggests using the Death Star as an example of the Empire’s power, at which point Vader rebukes him about putting too much faith in technology, and suggests it pales in comparison to the power of the Force.

Could Palpatine Or His Cult Be The Next Villain(s) To Go After Grogu?
The last two episodes of The Book of Boba Fett saw the surprising but most welcomed return of Grogu, showcasing his Jedi training under Luke Skywalker and his heart-warming return to Din Djarin's arms as his Mandalorian foundling. Apart from delving into Grogu's story in the prequel era in which he witnessed fellow Jedi being massacred during Order 66, fans also witnessed his exponential growth in the Force, such as in calming Boba Fett's Rancor in order to protect Din towards the end of the series finale. However, such exemplary displays of Force powers also beg a sinister question: has the rise of Grogu's powers and connection with the Force attracted none other than Emperor Palpatine?

Pedro Pascal Teases Lots Of New Characters Will Appear In 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
A lot has happened in Din Djarin’s story since his debut in November 2019. The Mandalorian has not disappointed the Star Wars fan base by any means. Each Star Wars Disney+ show has left fans wanting to see more, with a lot of anticipation of what is to come next. The second season finale of The Mandalorian left viewers with a big cliffhanger. The appearance of Luke Skywalker was “AWESOME.” Everyone got to see Luke display his lightsaber dueling skills by annihilating the Death Troopers, who were pretty much invincible until they met the Jedi Master. December 2020 was the last time anyone saw Din Djarin unless you rewatched the first two seasons over again for like the third or fourth time. The Book of Boba Fett has quenched our thirst for more Din Djarin and even Grogu. Yet more cliffhangers. Fans are now waiting in anticipation of what is next. It looks like there is a bit of a wait for The Mandalorian Season 3, but it will be here soon.
