Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
The Most Strange and Disturbing Things in ‘Star Wars’. Top Story - June 2021.
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.” Lord Vader’s famous line from A New Hope shows the Sith Lord’s disdain for Admiral Motti’s unwillingness to believe in the power of the Force. However, this is by far not the only thing that was disturbing in the galaxy far, far away. For movies that are more or less modern fairy tales marketed primarily towards kids and young adults, they actually do contain quite a few things that are either strange or disturbing or both.

What Anakin Would Have Looked Like If He Didn't Turn To The Dark Side
As we've mentioned in some of our previous articles, you'd be hard pushed to find a bigger and more passionate fanbase than that of Star Wars. The franchise spans several decades and continues to provide more and more stories expanding on the universe originally created by George Lucas. Throughout all nine films in the Skywalker saga, we meet a vast amount of interesting characters who we fell in love with or even hated. Fans will forever disagree on certain elements, as any fanbase for anything does, but one thing they excel at, is coming up with new thoughts and theories based on seemingly random pieces of dialogue or events throughout the entire franchise.

The Reason Jabba The Hutt Knew Leia's Rescue Plan
Regardless of whether or not Return of the Jedi is your “favorite” Star Wars movie, no one can say that it was not great. So much happened in the movie. We found out that Luke and Leia are brother and sister. We met the Emperor. Vader fell, and so did the Empire. Good won and the Force was brought back into balance. It closed out the original trilogy, but following the release of the prequel trilogy, it also served as the conclusion to George Lucas' six-film story.

Why This Iconic 'Star Wars' Hero Should Be The Antagonist Of 'The Book of Boba Fett'
While filming for the series has finished, The Book of Boba Fett is not slated for release until approximately December 2021. The only characters confirmed to be in the show are Boba Fett (because the show is obviously about him) and Fennec Shand, who was next to him at the end of The Mandalorian season 2. Everything else is free game at this point. We do not really know the premise of the show. Will we see Boba Fett picking up where he left off in his bounty hunting career? Will he just sit at the top of Jabba the Hutt’s former crime syndicate, handing down jobs and contracts to subordinates and loosely allied bounty hunters? Will he be hands on and do the jobs himself? Will he branch out into other underworld business?

'Return Of The Jedi' Is The Best 'Star Wars' Movie, And Here's Why
Okay, let’s get one thing out of the way right now. Star Wars is great. Every entry in this long-running series is fantastic in its own right. Together, they tell an amazing, generations-spanning story that really is the sum of its parts. However, any chance I get to talk about one specific film in this series is great to me, and Return of the Jedi is no exception. I absolutely adore this entry in the series. It is such a fantastic conclusion to the original Star Wars saga, and I think it is often an overlooked gem of the original trilogy.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Count Dooku
Attack of the Clones has not faired well with some Star Wars fans since its release back in 2002, with many considering it to be one of the weakest movies in the entire franchise. Whilst I completely understand the points some people raise, no one can deny that the inclusion of the great Sir Christopher Lee as the films villain was easily the best part about it. Lee stepped in as the new apprentice of the villainous Darth Sidious, Count Dooku.

10 Things You Do Not Know About Kathleen Kennedy
Kathleen Kennedy is an absolute titan in Hollywood. She is one of the biggest producers who had some incredible movies under her belt. For anyone who may not be as familiar with her, she is most notably the President of Lucasfilm, and has been a part of every Star Wars project that has come out after Disney’s purchase of the company. If you are still unfamiliar with her, I guarantee you are familiar with her work. Despite fans' rather mixed feelings towards her, she is the woman behind Star Wars and countless other films. Whether you love her or hate her, there is still a lot you may not have known about Kathleen Kennedy.

The 10 Best Characters Introduced During The Prequels
The Star Wars prequels introduced viewers to a fair amount of new characters while bringing back familiar ones. Everyone is bound to have different favorites. For this top ten list, I am staying within the bounds of characters introduced within the prequel trilogy films themselves. (It makes things easier for me.) That being said, how the characters are utilized in other materials will also be a contributing factor to their inclusion and ranking. Without further delay, here are my top ten best characters introduced during the prequels.
