Dark Secrets Hidden Inside Mustafar
Mustafar, the world where Darth Vader was born... The planet has always had an air of legend in the galaxy far, far away. The same is true in the real world from an out of universe perspective as well. Star Wars fans have known about its existence for a long time even before the prequel trilogy. The Return of the Jedi novelization detailed how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader on an unnamed lava planet. Many wondered just what this place was. What were the great mysteries of this planet? Just what made the place that turned Anakin into Vader so special. Well, the planet Mustafar has a bit of history to it beyond its connection to the Dark Lord of the Sith. It is a very fantastical planet that Star Wars has chosen to develop beyond what was depicted on film.

Wedge Antilles, The Unsung Hero Of The Rebellion
It might be a headscratcher to casual viewers of the Star Wars films if one were to acknowledge Wedge Antilles as a hero of the Rebellion. He may not be Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewie, Artoo, or Threepio, but he is present in all three films of the original trilogy, during which is is instrumental in the major battles. Despite being a side character, he is a familiar face who essentially becomes an underdog to root for.

Head 'Star Wars Resistance' Writer States We Almost Got Asajj Ventress Vs Kylo Ren
Star Wars Resistance was one of the first shows to be set during the New Republic era of Star Wars. Being set roughly 34 BBY, it is the only show that exists around the sequel trilogy era. The only other show to be set anywhere near this time is The Mandalorian, which takes place just a few years after Episode VI.

Why Tom Holland Is The Best Spider-Man
I want to start this article with a disclaimer that this is an opinion piece where I will not only give my opinion on who the best Spider-Man is, but also give my thoughts on the other two versions of Spider-Man that we have had in live-action. What follows is going to be my opinion, and for some of you reading this, it might be controversial. But it is perfectly okay to disagree with the views I put forward in this article. After all, the world would be such a boring place if we all agreed about everything.

Rumor: ‘The Mandalorian’ Will End After Season And Be Replaced With This New Show
Disney Lucasfilm's hit live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian, concluded its stellar second season in December 2020. Its spin-off show, The Book of Boba Fett, will fill in the gap until the release of its third season some time in 2022. Originally started in 2019, The Mandalorian introduced fans to a faceless Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin, who roams the Outer Rim collecting bounties approximately five years after the events of Return of the Jedi. The show's premiere episode takes him on a major detour as he is assigned to track down, and deliver an alien child to a mysterious client. He delivers this to an apparent member of the late Jedi Master Yoda's species to the client. However, he becomes concerned about the motives of the client toward the child, and decides to flee with the child. By the end of the first season, his bounty hunting ways change as he is now tasked with the responsibility of returning this Force-sensitive child to the Jedi. The second season ends with him finally fulfilling this task, and leaving him open to new adventures. As theories and speculations arise about Book of Boba Fett and the third season of The Mandalorian, rumors have come out concerning changes the show might undergo in season 4 and beyond.

‘Darth Vader’ Comics Suggest Crimson Dawn Was More Successful Than The Sith
SPOILER ALERT FOR DARTH VADER #15 Revenge seems to have been Maul’s prime motivation through all these years. When he was cut in half on Naboo by Obi-Wan Kenobi, his hatred and desire for revenge kept him alive. A decade later, he wanted revenge on his former master, who had seemingly tossed him away and taken on a new apprentice to take over the galaxy. Over time, Maul’s strategy changed and evolved. The most recent Marvel’s Darth Vader #15 shows that the former Sith Lord has come to rely on power by numbers, quite in contrast to the Sith’s Rule of Two.

What Dooku Thought The Plan For Him Was
Count Dooku aka Darth Tyranus was the second and last apprentice of Darth Sidious before he would gain his ultimate apprentice in Darth Vader. However, that did not mean that Count Dooku wasn’t unaware of the grand plan to destroy the Jedi once and for all and finally bring an end to the Republic that would be replaced with an Empire once and for all. Though his views on the matter were slightly different from his master in one possible way. Count Dooku thought he was going to live to see all of this come to pass. Instead, he got his head chopped off, and the rest is history.

'The High Republic #9' - A Cunning Ploy
Since its first issue in January 2021, Marvel’s High Republic comic series has hit the ground running, and it is not letting up with any of its twists and turns. I may not have always been a fan of Star Wars comics, but this one is shaping up to be a fantastically epic story. Although it is only set for 15 issues, the artwork by Ario Anindito is some of the best I have ever seen in a Star Wars comic, and Cavan Scott’s story is a great introduction to the High Republic era. The ninth issue, which was just released last week, is an excellent addition to the story, and it almost provided one of the biggest betrayals since Anakin Skywalker. Needless to say, there will be SPOILERS AHEAD for the entire High Republic series up to this point.

Why Marvel Should Be Careful Bringing Doc Ock Back
Ever since Alfred Molina confirmed his version of Otto Octavius, aka Doc Ock, would be making his big screen return in the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans immediately began speculating how, considering that in Spider-Man 2 **SPOILER ALERT** he dies. Then we found out about the multiverse. Recent shows focusing on some of our favorite MCU characters have begun introducing us to the multiverse, and so the idea of him making a return has become less and less strange. However, Marvel should be very careful about how they go about this.

Maria Rambeau Actress Shares New Photo Hinting At A Return In 'The Marvels'
One of Marvel’s favorite new characters is Maria Rambeau, introduced in Captain Marvel. Ever since fans were introduced to Maria Rambeau, played by Lashana Lynch, she became an instant favorite, as did her young daughter, Monica. In WandaVision, we are reintroduced to an older grown-up Monica Rambeau. She seems like she will be major player in the future of the MCU. And with Marvel Studios announcing a while back that they are planning a Captain Marvel sequel, perhaps that means we will be seeing a lot more of Maria and Monica Rambeau.
