Star Wars Rebels: Has Kotor 2 Revealed the Identity of Ezra's Mystery Sith?
The recent finale of Star Wars Rebels had everything. Crazy former Sith? Check. Blinded master? Check. Temples and an epic duel between Ahsoka and Darth Vader? Triple check. But a dominant theme throughout the episode was the Sith holocron, an ancient artifact used to keep the knowledge and sometimes even the spirits of Sith. At the very end of the episode, Ezra unlocks the holocron and goes all Sith evil eyes on us, but we never get to know whose holocron it is. But I believe that Knights of the Old Republic 2 the Sith Lords unveiled the true identity of the mystery Sith long ago. Here is my evidence for this fan theory and be advised, at present it's pure conjecture.

The Orville: Hello Sassy Trek
*Spoilers for the show ahead* Let's first get some things clear here....I thought the Orville was going to be a joke when the tv trailer came out. Poor Star Trek parody from Macfarlane? Yikes, this had all the features of a flop written all over it. The first episode didn't disappoint. Barely good CGI, forced jokes, barely interesting story, yeah I didn't have much hopes for it. Which was why it is surprising to say, this is now my all time favourite sci-fi right on right now.

Wil Wheaton Reveals in His Own Words How He Could See a Return of Wesley Crusher
Hello there Star Trek fans, this is an exciting time for you what with three new movies, an online RPG and a new series on the way. But with the new, one must remember the old and therefore I bring you this exclusive information that this intrepid reporter found out at a comic con. For those of you who are unaware, Wil Wheaton is the actor most famously known for playing Wesley Crusher, a young man who joins the crew of the starship Enterprise-D as it's only young ensign and grows up on the series. These days he promotes various nerd blogs and records audiobooks. His most famous recent appearances have been on the show The Big Bang Theory as himself. While it's been many years since the Next Generation, I had the good fortune of being in the audience at a comic con in April called Super MegaFest Comic Con (weird name though, right?) at Marlborough, and was able to ask him the question on all of our minds....Please note that since it's been a while since this there will be some paraphrasing so please don't take Mr Wheaton's words as exact copies of what he said...

5 Theories on Who Snoke Is and Where He Came From
Hello Star Wars fans. With the end of the cinema screening of the Rogue One movie, many fans are now looking towards the The Last Jedi and as the release date draws ever so near, one question continues to plague everyone's minds and that is "Who is Snoke?" Theories have ranged from Darth Plagueis to the Sith Emperor Vitiate but today let's discuss the most prominent five on the Internet. As the theory that he is a new character is not something that can be discussed further due to it being self-explanatory, it won't come up. I'm also not discussing the Mace Windu one because it has been clarified to be nonsense. But yes, there are high indications of the new character thing from the official production people so take all this with a grain of salt...
