A New Spirit
************************* The beginning of a new day, the red fiery sun gave light to a jungle village. Its warrior-like inhabitants have already started milling about going about their daily business. The huts are built within the ancient trees of the jungle where bridges connect most of the village. Vines are sometimes used to get from one section to another quickly. Pulley systems are scattered throughout the village to get good up to the trees. The people only fight when it has to come to such measures but they avoid it if necessary. They have protected and guarded their jungle home for centuries now. Everyone is trained in the art of the sword though mostly men are the common warriors. Most women will take up a bow and stay in the safety of the trees then a blade. But there is a woman who is as head-strong; even more so than the men and prefer the blade to a bow.

John Boyega Shares Details On The Sequel Trilogy That We Should Have Gotten
When The Rise of Skywalker came out, it shed further light on the idea that the sequel trilogy was not very well planned out. The month after the film's release, people became aware of another Episode IX script titled Duel of the Fates, which was written when Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow was still attached to direct Episode IX. The script included a more prominent role for Finn than what we got in The Rise of Skywalker, which shows him meeting other former stormtroopers like Jannah but did not lead to the stormtrooper uprising that many fans were hoping to see.

Over the years, there were rumors and reports that it was happening. In interviews, Ewan McGregor said that he would like to return to the role. Finally, at Disney's D23 Expo last year, it was confirmed that the story would happen as a series, when Ewan McGregor met up with Lucasfilm's president Kathleen Kennedy onstage. At that time, McGregor mentioned how he had spent a long time trying not to reveal anything in interviews until the project was announced officially. It seems like this has been happening for a long time.

All The Information We Have about 'Star Wars Rebels' Sequel, And 'The Bad Batch' Show
Star Wars 3D animation has become such a huge part of Star Wars over the last 12 years. During the years when no new episodes were being produced for The Clone Wars, we got a successor of sorts called Star Wars Rebels. That particular show had a satisfying ending, but it left the door open for further adventures of the characters who remained. It feels open-ended and not quite like a concrete conclusion. Later, The Clone Wars was finally given its final season, during which it featured the elite squad known as the Bad Batch. Months later, it was announced that The Bad Batch would be the next Star Wars animated series, coming sometime in 2021. But what about the Rebels sequel series that fans have been expecting?
