10 Reasons 'The Phantom Menace' Is The Best 'Star Wars' Movie
When one speaks of the best Star Wars movie, long-time classic titles such as The Empire Strikes Back or A New Hope frequently come to mind. One could also argue that Revenge of the Sith or Rogue One are worthy contenders as well. What is certain in the eyes of the majority, however, is that Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace would never come close to being one of the top movies of the franchise. In fact, fans are quick to criticize it for lacking momentum or excitement and rank it among the worst Star Wars films.

Palpatine Admitted The Jedi He Feared Most, And It May Surprise You
Throughout the Star Wars franchise, we have been introduced to many Jedi. Some were renowned for the skills with a lightsaber, some preferred to rely mostly on the Force, but all had their particular skillset. Whilst we saw some of these characters take on the Dark Lord of the Sith, Palpatine, in one-on-one combat via saber and the Force, it turns out there was really only one in particular he feared, and it's someone very few people would have expected, as most forget the character is actually a Jedi.

10 Things You Did Not Know About Corellia
Each planet in the Star Wars universe is very different from each other. Their unique terrain and history give rise to a plethora of characters from all over the galaxy. Corellia, located in the galaxy’s Core Worlds, is no exception. In fact, Corellia is very important in the Star Wars universe. It is the capital planet of the Corellian System, which include Selonia, Drall, Tralus, and Talus, also known as the Five Brothers (with Corellia being the Eldest Brother). Many characters hailed from Corellia, making more important to Star Wars lore than other planets. Here are some things that you may not know about Corellia.

10 Interesting Facts About 'Star Wars' You Never Knew
Star Wars is a series that has spanned several generations, and with any series that has lasted that long, there are bound to be a few behind-the-scenes goofs, random factoids, compromises, and interesting tidbits that not everyone may be aware of. Conversely, when a series has existed since 1977, it can be hard to find information that fans don’t already know. That is doubly true for a series like Star Wars that also exists in the age of the internet. That being said, I compiled a list of some Star Wars facts that I don’t see widely talked about but are still interesting.

A Familiar Face Made An Appearance In 'War of the Bounty Hunters'
The second season of The Mandalorian marked the return of a popular character to the screen. We last saw him chronologically in Return of the Jedi when he fell into the sarlacc pit. How many of us cheered when the Slave I streaked across the clear sky in “Chapter 14: The Tragedy?” When the season finale of The Mandalorian aired back in December 2020, announcing the new spin-off The Book of Boba Fett, we could not wait to see more adventures of Boba Fett. In The Clone Wars television series, he was a mere adolescent learning about the world. In The Book of Boba Fett, he would be older, and more mature, and most likely have a different outlook on life after the time spent inside the Sarlaac. The adventures of Boba Fett at the height of his bounty hunter career were chronicled in Legends novels. However, what happened after his custody of Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back? The crossover event Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters hoped to write that story into canon.

Here Are All Of The Retcons In 'The Bad Batch'
Prior to Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, and with it the entire Star Wars franchise, there were several different layers of story canon and retcons abounded, particularly between the sixteen years between the release of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. During this particular time period when no new Star Wars saga movies were being made, Star Wars books, video games, comics, and other content expanded away from the movies and broadened the Star Wars universe and introduced new characters and stories, mostly following the events of Return of the Jedi but also occasionally dipping back into the original trilogy time period, especially with the 1996 multimedia event featuring Shadows of the Empire, which was set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

10 Of The Best ‘Star Wars’ Villains, Ranked
Star Wars has had a rich cast of characters both good and bad. However, their villains were some of the best that have existed in any media past or present. They were ruthless, cruel, sinister, and downright evil. They each had their own reasons for why they do what they do, and that was what made them such great villains. Before we get into the list, I specifically stuck to canon Star Wars characters. While I debated on putting a couple Sith from Legends on the list, I really felt that the main canon had enough to fill a "Top 10," and the Legends villains really should have a list of their own. That being said, here are the greatest villains to plague the Star Wars galaxy.
