Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
5 'Star Wars' Characters That Should Have Been Developed More
Star Wars has a large cast of characters ranging from our main cast such as Luke, Rey, and Anakin, to secondary characters like Boba Fett, and even background characters like Ochi of Bestoon. What do they all have in common apart from living in Star Wars? They all have the opportunity to develop and grow into fully fleshed-out characters. Sometimes a character with just one scene can even have their own book series later on down the line. However, some characters never get this treatment even when they have a lot of potential. But which characters should go on? Which ones deserve to be talked about more? This list will go over a few ideas that might come to mind.

These Are The Biggest Issues with Star Wars Animation
Star Wars and animation have gone hand-in-hand since the original release of the first film. From giving us our first look at Boba Fett, to the chronicle of the Clone War from George Lucas and Dave Filoni, Star Wars animation has been an important part of the saga for generations. However, I don’t think Star Wars has ever reached its true potential in animation despite the cornucopia of animated shows we have received. That is not to say that there are no good animated Star Wars shows, but there are few that really take advantage of what the medium is capable of, which is somewhat disappointing.

You Won't Believe This Han Solo Easter Egg In 'Last Jedi'
Disney is no stranger to Easter Eggs, references, and fan-service inside jokes within their fandoms. From Star Wars to Marvel, fans have combed over every frame of every project produced by these studios. Don't believe me? A quick search through YouTube will turn up numerous videos identifying every Easter Egg in every nook and cranny of the film or show. This is especially true for the most recent entries in the Star Wars universe, the sequel trilogy and the Disney+ series. While there is no shortage of references to point out in The Last Jedi, here we will be focusing on a specific Easter Egg that occurs during the opening space battle, as the Resistance attempts to evacuate their base on D'Qar.

Fans Are Obsessed With This Surprise ‘Star Wars’ Series Dropping On Disney +
The Star Wars franchise has been around for a long, long time. Since its debut with A New Hope in 1977, there has been no shortage of spin-offs and tie-ins surrounding the vast galaxy of the films. The series spawned books and comics, then came video games, and merchandise galore. This went on for quite some time until the prequel trilogy rolled around in the early 2000s. Then, things slowed down. For over a decade fans were left wanting with little to no content on the horizon. Then, Disney acquired the franchise in 2012 and the floodgates burst open once again.

The 10 Best Quotes From 'The Phantom Menace'

Fan Builds Impressive LEGO Starkiller Base
Earlier in mid-July 2021, a LEGO and Star Wars enthusiast passionately introduced us to his most impressive (Darth Vader quote intended) MOC ('my own creation") LEGO Starkiller Base; packed with numerous brick-form renditions of iconic scenes from Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Starkiller Base was the secret weapon of the First Order, and with even more firepower than the Death Star, it's destruction was the primary goal of our heroes in Episdoe VII. Displayed at the Brick Rodeo LEGO Convention in Texas, the massive 6 ft x 23 ft build took the creator (known as RichboyJhae on YouTube) two and a half years to complete, and featured more than 400 minifigures.

Lando's Real Motivations For Joining The Rebellion Finally Revealed
Star Wars’ fan-favorite, back-stabbing, smooth-talking, robot-romancing, deal acceptor is back once more in comic form, and this time fans will get to see what role he played in the events between Episodes V and VI. Love him or hate him, Lando Calrissian played a major part in the capture and rescue of Han Solo and was an integral part in the destruction of the second Death Star. However, there is a stark disconnect between the Lando in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. One is the leader of a city but also a shady politician willing to sell out his friends, and the other is a rebel fighting against the Empire with only his friends beside him. What happened? How did Lando become the person he is in Episode VI and join the Rebellion? Well, the War of the Bounty Hunters event is now shedding some light on Lando’s change between films.

Doctor Aphra 2016 - 2019; Volume 1
Following into the series after listening to the audio dramatisation of Aphra's original 'adventures' with Vader has been a real treat. Given how perfectly cast Emily Woo Zeller was as Aphra, it is all but impossible not to read the comic with her voice in your head. This is certainly not a bad thing, especially coupled up with the sardonic humour from Triple Zero and BT, it continues to be everything I had hoped for after enjoying the audio story so much.

10 Of The Funniest Quotes From 'Revenge of the Sith'
"This is where the fun begins" Out of all 12 Star Wars movies (including The Clone Wars feature) Episode III: Revenge of The Sith is probably the one that the word “fun” is least associated with. The fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire, Order 66 and the end of the Jedi Order, Anakin’s betrayal and fall to the dark side, Padme’s death and a crushed and burning Vader on the shore of a lava river. All this is not intended to put a smile on one’s face. But amidst all this gravity and tragedy, George Lucas and his script doctor, Tom Stoppard, still managed to sneak a handful of funny quotes into the final chapter of the prequel trilogy. Today we are looking at 10 of them, in no particular order:

'Star Wars' Reveals First Official Images of Darth Plagueis The Wise
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? If you are a Star Wars fan or a fan of prequel memes you certainly have. The iconic scene from Revenge of the Sith, in which Sidious uses a story of his master's power to seduce Anakin Skywalker to the dark side, has spawned numerous other stories detailing the lore of the Sith.
