Breaking: Bo-Katan And Cara Dune To Star In 'Mandalorian' Spin-Off Series
The Mandalorian is a hit show that has captivated many Star Wars fans. With the success of the series, it may be no surprise for Lucasfilm and Disney to try and make a spin-off of it, even this early on in the show's run. We have been hearing rumblings about various spin-off show ideas, and now we are hearing about a possible spin-off that would follow Cara Dune alongside Bo-Katan from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. Such a spin-off would feature Katie Sackhoff, who voiced Bo-Katan, in live-action.

The Great Disaster Of The High Republic Era Explained By 'Star Wars' Authors
Star Wars is about to enter a new era on the publishing side. We are so used to thinking of the franchise as a film franchise, or even a TV franchise. But of course, books and comics have depicted many great stories. And with some synergy between writers, it looks like we are in for a great ride that will expand the timeline of the canon as we know it so far.

Report: Cassian Andor Show Title Revealed
Star Wars has had a lot of success with its first live-action TV series The Mandalorian. Unsurprisingly, Lucasfilm and Disney are keen on having more live-action shows for the franchise, which would be released on Disney+. Nearly two years ago, prior to the premiere of The Mandalorian, we learned during a Disney earnings call that a Cassian Andor series is in the works. Given that Rogue One appears to be arguably the most successful Star Wars film in terms of box office success and critical acclaim, it makes sense that the franchise would have a prequel to that film in the works.

'Star Wars' Confirms That Purge Troopers Were Clones
Troopers, whether they be clone troopers or stormtroopers, come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. The creatives behind Star Wars projects just cannot resist reinventing the trooper with different armor and weapons. For example, Rogue One gave us the Death Troopers, which are elite troopers clad in black armor who communicate through scrambled comms. And The Rise of Skywalker gave us the Sith Troopers, who sport a nice shade of red. But beyond the films, we also have the Purge Troopers.

Dragontine
Dragons steal princesses. They eat livestock. And they fight knights. Collect gold hoards too. That’s just what they do. That sounds so cliché though. I stretched my wings, feeling each feather flex individually before resting them back against my body. I turned my long head to look out the mouth of my lair. A single human rode his horse back in the direction I knew where the human town was. I was expected to go there in soon time and capture my first princess. As tradition and instinct called. Then as legend would go I would lock her away in my lair and keep her here as knights would challenge me to save her. Or whatever. I turned my head once again, my eyes resting on my own personal hoard. It wasn’t as big as most other dragons but it was impressive none the less. Gems, gold, and diamonds littered the ground in not so neat piles. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll go get a princess. For today I will hunt and fill my belly.

Writing
at first I was drawn into shaping my own reality with my will. Then I learned, I had much to learn. Even about who am I, what do I want, what do I do? Even now, I seek myself. I seek my innermost desires. I watch, observe, allow things to move about within and without. So I can learn how to mold myself, mold this will. Maybe I’m allowing myself, my will to be molded. So I can feel so in tune with life. With no guilt, no doubt, no avarice.

The 10 Biggest Cosmic Catastrophes That Could Wipe Out Life on Earth Tomorrow
Let’s say, for a moment, that humans don’t wipe each other out with some kind of nuclear war or via climate change. Let’s say we get our stuff together and find some kind of peace and harmony to leave for future generations. Sounds pretty good, right?

Solitary Senses
The stars twinkle, winking at me as our spaceship floats by. I gaze at the celestial creations surrounding us as they form constellations unseen. A trip to the moon on a Thursday... or is it Sunday? Who knows, time is different here. The soft echo of Jacob’s boots on the spaceship floor is calming, and I marvel at the concept of sound in space.

My Review of "12 Monkeys"
12 Monkeys came out back in 1995 and still this movie holds strong today. There are a lot of outdated ways of storytelling and whatnot but for the most part it tells a pretty interesting story that will have you questioning yourself afterwards. It's been a while since I watched a more thought provoking movie and this was pretty relevant to today as it deals with a global pandemic in the future.
