'The Book of Boba Fett' Will Feature Never Before Seen Boba Fett Flashback Scene
We really know so little about Boba Fett, but he has been such a beloved character since The Empire Strikes Back, and his first ever appearance in Star Wars Holiday Special. Prior to Boba Fett’s re-introduction in the Mandalorian, he must have been up to something on Tatooine, or beyond. After all, he went from being slowly digested over a thousand years by the Sarlaac to fighting by Din Djarin’s side. In a recent interview with Rotten Tomatoes, the actor who portrays Boba Fett on screen, Temuera Morrison, stated that we are indeed going to see Boba Fett’s past in the upcoming The Book of Boba Fett.

Top Five Actors Who Could Portray Revan
Darth Revan is a complex character that Star Wars fans are itching to see in a live-action format. Revan first appeared in the 2003 BioWare and LucasArts video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which is now part of the Star Wars Legends continuity. Originally in the game, player can customize Revan's appearance and gender. Although the character was canonically listed as a male later on, many remember Revan being whatever they wanted them to be. Revan returned to canon when they were mentioned in the compendium The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary (2019), a reference book created by none other than senior Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo.

Darth Maul's Crimson Dawn Has Finally Returned To 'Star Wars'
Marvel Comics continues its massive multi-issue story arc War of The Bounty Hunters with Bounty Hunters #13. Previous issues showed the struggles Boba Fett had to endure in order to get the carbonite frozen Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt, as it seems that nearly everyone else in the galaxy is looking for the captain of the Millennium Falcon as well: from Darth Vader and the Empire, to Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, and C-3PO, to Dr. Aphra and Sana Starros, to the Hutts (who think that Fett has betrayed them), and of course to countless other bounty hunters who believe themselves to be faster and smarter than the man in the Mandalorian armor.

Kevin Feige's 'Star Wars' Film Theme Has Been Revealed
With the enormous success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans have often clamored to have Kevin Feige take on other genre projects. Also, with Star Wars and Marvel both being owned by Disney, it would only make sense for Feige to head to a galaxy far, far away, and it appears to finally be happening. While there have been numerous rumors that he would be helming the future of the Star Wars universe, those rumors have since been debunked. Feige will, however, be producing at least one Star Wars movie, and that movie has a writer and a loose theme.

Samuel L. Jackson Tells Fans To Look Closely At This Famous 'Star Wars' Scene
It’s great to have such a famous and beloved actor be so invested as a fan of the Star Wars saga. (Check out his 2019 Howard Stern interview to see how he asked for and received a Star Wars role: starting at 2:39 at this link). And it’s even better, when he has his own theories on the material. Samuel L. Jackson has his finger on the pulse of the Star Wars fan community; or he at least enough to trigger fun fan discourse.

How 'The Mandalorian' Can Continue Without Baby Yoda
When The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+ in November 2019, people did not expect the first episode to end the way that it did. Many went in expecting a straightforward bounty hunter story, but the premise changed completely thanks to the reveal of "Baby Yoda," whose real name would later be revealed to be Grogu. Needless to say, this is a twist that many were not expecting, especially given that Yoda's species has been a mystery (mainly because George Lucas has been outspoken about how he does not want Yoda's species or homeworld to be explained).

Earlier this season, it was a welcome surprise to many that Cut Lawquane, the clone deserter from The Clone Wars, made an appearance on The Bad Batch.
