'Star Wars' Confirms That Leia Struck A Deal With Crimson Dawn
The crime syndicate known as Crimson Dawn was a ruthless and cut-throat organization that would enact any number of brutal practices to reach their desired goals. Crimson Dawn can trace their roots back to a band of mercenaries who cut out the tongues of anyone who defied them. A member of Maul's Shadow Collective during the Clone Wars, Crimson Dawn was composed of smugglers, thieves, enforcers, and criminals of every ilk imaginable. Through a series of infighting and misguided missions, Lady Qi'ra took control of the syndicate from Dreydon Vos and Maul, jockeying it into a position of power that allowed her to compete with the Hutt Cartel and even the mighty Galactic Empire.

How COVID has changed the Galaxy's Edge Experience at WDW
I had the pleasant experience of visiting Walt Disney World's Galaxy Edge on two separate days during October of this year. The trip was mainly for pleasure, but I thought that I would also take the opportunity to observe and record some of the differences between my previous experience of Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland (California) in 2019 (pre-COVID) and my recent experience of Galaxy's Edge in Walt Disney World (Florida) while (still) in the midst of COVID. I also decided that I would attempt to speak with some Cast Members at Galaxy's Edge and see if I could get some input from cast members whom have been working there before and throughout what one cast member referred to as "The Great Upset" (aka COVID).

Could This 'Return Of The Jedi' Character Return To Cause Havoc In 'The Book Of Boba Fett'?
Star Wars is filled with amazing, terrifying, fantastic, and dangerous creatures of all shapes and sizes. The galaxy is literally teeming with them. Perhaps one of the most famous of those creatures is Salacious B. Crumb, and it is not just because he has one of the most fun names in Star Wars. Fans of the series will recognize Crumb as the Kowakian monkey-lizard in Jabba’s palace. He served as Jabba’s pet and court jester, and his laughter echoed through all the throne room scenes in Return of the Jedi. It seemed that Crumb met with a similar fate as Jabba the Hutt and the rest of his crew when Jabba’s sail barge crashed, or so we thought. New information could suggest that Salacious B. Crumb will appear in The Book of Boba Fett.
