Star Wars Storylines Which Have Yet To Be Resolved
Zillo Beast Dave Filoni's favorite episode of The Clone Wars centers around a huge creature native to the Dug homeworld Malastare. This being is woken by the conflict between the Grand Army of the Republic and the droid armies of the CIS. It is taken back to Coruscant in order to try to duplicate it's blaster and lightsaber resistant armor. Before the Republic can begin it's experimentation however, the Zillo Beast breaks loose, and much like the episode's inspirations King Kong and Godzilla, rampages through Galactic City. It is eventually killed by a nerve toxin deployed by the Republic troopers. However, with the sinister final shot of Palpatine (aka Darth Sidious) giving orders to a Republic scientist to clone the beast, audiences expected to see the results of this mad science experiment come to fruition at some point in the Clone Wars. This was not to be the case as the show proceeded with no more mention of the lethal creature. With The Bad Batch picking up where Clone Wars left off, and the elite commando squad infiltrating multiple Imperial science facilities, there is a possibility this 2 episode arc could come back around in the newest entry into the animated Filoni-verse.

Rumor: 'The Mandalorian' Season 3 Will Release Late 2022 According to Production Schedule
Disney+ and Star Wars have a lot on the plate coming up, but none may be more anticipated than the next season of The Mandalorian. While Season 3 was confirmed in December 2020, news about the series has been sparse and official release dates have yet to be announced. Meanwhile, we continue to hear about other Star Wars properties shooting and moving forward. Last we saw The Mandalorian, at the end of Season 2 we were left with a satisfying climax, but also a lot of questions. Would Grogu be back for Season 3? Would he be back with Din Djarin? What will Luke teach Grogu? How will Din and Bo Katan deal with Din’s possession of the Darksaber? What is next for Din? The Mandalorian has us so invested in all these characters, and fans want to know what will be happening next.

Sung Kang Talks About Obi-Wan Series
Not much is known about the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series. While we have a list of confirmed cast, we do not really know the specific roles they will be portraying beyond Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi). Even though we know that Hayden Christensen will be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker in the series, it is not clear whether he will be playing the brash young Jedi in a flashback scene, or as the post-Mustafar Darth Vader. Recently leaked concept arts had teased a little more detail about how Anakin/Darth Vader may appear in the series. A few days ago, we found out a little bit more about another character in Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Baby Yoda Will Be Making An Appearance At Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
The Disney+ live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian has become a massive hit among Star Wars fans since its premiere in 2019. Nobody can deny that a major part of its success, of course, is owed to the surprise introduction in the very first episode of a Force-sensitive Yoda-like infant whom the titular character refuses orders to terminate and instead chooses to save and protect. "Baby Yoda," as he was known until we were given his proper name Grogu midway through the second season, has become an enormous part of the show's popularity and appeal.

'Star Wars' Featurette Shows Off Cameos You May Have Missed
The Star Wars saga had top secret cameos that were kept secret on the sets and even by “The Maker” George Lucas. The new era of Star Wars media on the new streaming platform and on the silver screen had filmmakers finding ways to include cameos from a variety of notable figures in pop culture. Ed Sheeran and Lin-Manuel Miranda were involved in the sequel trilogy. Longtime players in the Star Wars franchise like Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels found ways to appear without reprising their iconic roles of Luke Skywalker and C-3P0 respectively. Recently Disney+ released a featurette on YouTube going over cameos in the franchise that the viewers may have missed.

'Book Of Boba Fett' Director Says It Will Live Up To The Hype
The Book of Boba Fett is on the way. Soon, we shall see the return of the most feared bounty hunter in the known galaxy. Maybe not on the big screen as it was thought back in the day when a Boba Fett movie was in the works, but on a smaller screen on Disney+. The director and showrunner of the series Robert Rodriguez said that this show is “going to blow [our] minds.” What does this mean? What sort of mind blowing revelations will we see in this latest addition to the Disney+ gallery of shows?

'Star Wars' Canon Vs. Legends: Boba Fett
The Empire had assembled many agents in their quest to capture the renegade Han Solo. One group in particular assembled aboard the massive Super Star Destroyer of none other than Darth Vader himself. It was a strange gathering to say the least. Among them was an assassin droid, a reptilian Trandoshan, and what appeared to be a bipedal fly-like Gand. In such company, one would have to be truly unique to stand out, which is exactly what the stoic human Boba Fett did. When Vader singled him out with a warning, “No disintegrations,” you knew he was something special. What sort of history lay hidden underneath his armor?

Hayden Christensen Shows Off 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Production Hat In Photos
It has taken quite some time for the Star Wars family to accept Hayden Christensen. After his performance as the young Jedi Padawan and later Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, the Canadian actor was harshly criticized for his wooden and rather expressionless performances. Although it is true that the love scenes between Anakin and Padme were awkward, it would be unfair to put the blame completely on Christensen who probably did his best with the directions he was given. Also, it is well know that George Lucas was NOT a people director.

Disney Drops 'Hawkeye' Show Trailer
Hawkeye appears to be the next show on the MCU Disney+ roadmap, and fans have been skeptical, to say the least. While Hawkeye has never had a particularly huge following from MCU fans, that may change soon, because Marvel and Disney just released the trailer for the series on Monday, and it looks good. If anyone was on the fence about the show, the trailer just might tip the scale. Not only does it show off what is in store for Hawkeye in the show, but it is also chock-full of Easter eggs, references, possible villains, and Christmas cheer.
