star wars
Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
The Secret Background Behind Star Wars' Blaster Sound
The Star Wars franchise is easily one of, if not the biggest, franchises on the planet. The fanbase spans generations, thanks to the continued new projects and expansions on the original story, but a big part of the franchise's continued success, is the soundtrack which accompanies each film. The legendary John Williams has scored numerous successful franchises, including Indiana Jones, ET, and Jaws, to name a few, but Star Wars fans hold a special place in their hearts for him thanks to the music included throughout the entire saga. No Star Wars fan can listen to "Binary Sunset" or "Across the Stars" without feeling a sometimes overwhelming range of emotions.

All The Ways The Jedi Should Have Known About Order 66
The ending of the prequel era indisputably comprised the saddest tragedies in Star Wars: the reveal of Chancellor Palpatine as the Sith puppet master behind the galaxy-wide conflict, the fall of the Chosen One to the dark side, the execution of Order 66 by the loyal and formidable clone army on their Jedi generals, and the virtual collapse of the entire Jedi Order. However, from a bystander's perspective beyond the fourth wall, it is somewhat baffling how the Jedi was completely blinded of the sinister plot. We look at the movies, Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and Legends materials to identify why (and how) the Jedi should have known about Order 66, the destructive means of fulfilling Darth Sidious' devious master plan.

We are six episodes into Star Wars: The Bad Batch. This author has been watching the adventures of Clone Force 99 (and Omega) religiously every weekend now to avoid any spoilers that may come up.

Ranking The Top 10 Most Powerful Jedi Of All Time
When asked who my favorite Jedi is, I admit I am partial to a certain green one I cosplay. There was a time when we only had three movies, a few short-lived shows, specials, and a growing slate of books and comics to consider for such a list.

Diego Luna Hopes His Return To 'Star Wars' Will Impress His Son
Rogue One: A Star Wars story was the very first stand-alone Star Wars live-action film. The film showed us the many reasons why the Empire was so feared, how secretive the Death Star was, and the many sacrifices that Rebellion's soldiers had to go through. One of those Rebellion members who did horrible things on behalf of the Rebellion was Captain Cassian Andor. When Actor Diego Luna was cast as Cassian, he made one of his biggest dreams come true.

How Ewan McGregor Had An Epic Lightsaber Duel With A Famous Musician

Apparently, the Oasis lead singer has been saying that the two engaged in a lightsaber duel after McGregor was cast as the iconic character in The Phantom Menace.

The Ways That 'Star Wars' Fans Would Help Fix The Franchise
People have long speculated what they would do if they were in charge for a day. Whether it be their employer, the boss of their favorite creative studio, or the leader of the free world, everybody thinks they know exactly what to do to fix things: reinstate casual Fridays, complete the unfinished The Clone Wars episodes and release them as the "The Lost Missions Volume 2," or sue for world peace. While fans are always certain that these ideas are in the best interest of all involved, there are always dissenters. Especially in a fanbase as historically vocally divided as the Star Wars fanbase.
