New 'Star Wars' Project With Bizarre Title Apparently In The Works
There has been another project added to the Star Wars saga. It is a developing title set to start filming in the summer of 2022. This new project also has an odd title, Grammar Rodeo. Lucasfilm and Disney+ already have several new Star Wars series lined up for the rest of 2022 going into 2023, so this is pretty cool news. With new projects, the fanbase has more to be excited about because so many different stories and characters could fit into a new project. The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have already demonstrated the avenues for new adventures in the Star Wars universe, providing new storylines for old characters and new characters.

What Is The Future Of Live Action 'Star Wars'?
As of this article, Star Wars now has two live-action shows and three full seasons of television under its belt. Those shows, of course, are The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. So with this in mind, we will soon have Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Ashoka, and The Acolyte. Those, of course, are the shows that have just been announced. There are probably other shows in development or going through the pipeline at the moment. So with all that being said, what does the future of Star Wars Live-Action look like. Is it dark, optimistic, or a mixture of both?

Opinion: If You Are Not Reading The Comic Books You Are Missing Half The Story
I have been hearing a lot lately about how comic books do not matter and how movie fans do not care about comics. Honestly, it pains me to hear that. This goes mainly for Star Wars fans because Star Wars is not a comic book-based franchise. It is a movie franchise. This is not an issue for Marvel, DC, or other comic book publishers because those fans are comic book fans first and foremost (with some exceptions). I get that, but like I tell people who do not read comic books, if you are not reading the comics, you are missing half the story. Are you okay with that?

Why 'The Clone Wars: Crystal Crisis' Storyline Was Not Finished
While the release of the seventh season of The Clone Wars was considered a success and lauded by Star Wars fans for giving us one final blast of The Clone Wars years after the show was officially canceled, there were still several unfinished story-reel that remain unfinished. While some of them have been captured in other forms of media, such as the comic book series, Son of Dathomir, and the book, Dark Disciple, featuring Asajj Ventress and Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos, there are even more Clone Wars stories that still have yet to see the light of day.

Is 'Doctor Strange 2' Going To Introduce Marvel's Illuminati?
After seeing the small tease at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans are hyped for the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

What Boba Fett And Cad Bane's Scrapped Showdown Can Tell Us About The Future Of 'Star Wars'
From their interaction in The Book of Boba Fett, it is clear that Boba and the notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane have history. Cad Bane first appeared in The Clone Wars Season 4 Episode 15 "Deception" with a then-teenaged Boba when both of them were in prison together. Cad Bane bribed Boba to start a fight with an undercover Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, the most interesting story between these two characters has yet to be seen onscreen.

Biggest Unanswered Questions We Have From 'The Book Of Boba Fett'
The dust has now settled, and the twin suns of Tatooine are setting as The Book Of Boba Fett has reached its grand finale. There are certainly very mixed feelings out there on the series. Like The Last Jedi, The Book Of Boba Fett took a different approach to Star Wars storytelling. However, with The Book Of Boba Fett, a lot of that was the fact that the titular hero was not the main focus of every episode.

Why Obi-Wan Can't Win His Rematch Against Darth Vader
"When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master." The fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in A New Hope is a primary example of how Star Wars has always gone back into its own timeline to make its best moments even more impactful. Through the prequel trilogy, The Clone Wars animated series, and the various comics and novels, we have seen the relationship between Obi-Wan and his reckless apprentice Anakin Skywalker evolve into a tragic story of a mentor and student torn apart by war, loss, fear, and distrust. This makes many Star Wars fans all the more shocked to hear that the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series, headed by acclaimed Mandalorian director Deborah Chow, will have Obi-Wan and Darth Vader engage each other in another duel between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

You Won't Believe This Link Between 'The Mandalorian' And John Wayne
Star Wars really is a mixture of genres. Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Adventure and, weirdly enough, Western. Granted, not all of Star Wars feels like a Space Western, but there are aspects that do. And this can be seen most in the original Star Wars, The Mandalorian and recently, The Book of Boba Fett. Funnily enough these three feature a certain planet: Tatooine. A desert world in the Outer Rim. In a Western, this would be the "frontier." With outlaws, gunslingers, bounty hunters, bars/cantinas, with the law just barely holding on, like a kite dancing in a hurricane. Westerns may have gone out of popularity in cinema, but they have left a lasting impact.
