Boba Fett Takes On The Galaxy's Worst in 'War Of The Bounty Hunters'
Everyone’s favorite bounty hunter is back in a new comic series this May. The original Mandalorian bounty hunter (though perhaps not technically a Mandalorian), Boba Fett has made an explosive comeback in the last year, and it is every bit as awesome as we wanted it to be. First seen destroying stormtroopers in The Mandalorian season 2 and aiding in the rescue of baby-uh-Grogu, and now it is known that he will have an entire series coming to Disney+ at the end of the year. Needless to say, we have a lot of fun stories to come from our favorite Han Solo hunter, but we now know we will be getting even more Fett action. This time, however, it will be in the form of a massive comic crossover coming later this year, and it will be set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

'Star Wars' Reveals Darth Vader's Alternate Reality
Everyone knows how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader in the Star Wars saga, and how the Dark Lord of the Sith turns out in the end, but not every fan knows what happened between Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. However, in the comic series from Marvel, we have been seeing the journey of the Sith Lord between these movies.

'Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones' Greatest Mystery Was Never Solved In The Films
Without a doubt, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones changed the view of the Skywalker saga forever. The film introduced us to some of the greatest moments in Star Wars, like the first time we saw Master Yoda use a lightsaber, and the introduction to the blueprints of the Death Star. However, Attack of the Clones remains one of the least favorite films from the entire saga, mainly due to such arguments from fans as how the film has many forgotten plot details. The main one being the mystery of the creation of the clone army, and Master Sifo-Dyas’ disappearance. When the third and final installment of the prequels Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith was released, fans were surprised to see how none of that story arc continued in the film itself.

Gina Carano's Cara Dune Character Reportedly To Be Recast By Lucasfilm
Last week, it was made public that Disney and Lucasfilm had cut ties with Gina Carano, who had played Cara Dune in the Star Wars Disney+ series The Mandalorian. Her posts revealing her position on pronouns, voter fraud, and anti-mask beliefs had been upsetting people for months, culminating in the more recent post in which she seemed to compare being a Republican in the US to being a Jew in Nazi Germany. While she is no longer working with Disney and Lucasfilm, conservative news site The Daily Wire is giving Carano her own movie.

Mark Hamill Shares Little Known Moment He Shared With Carrie Fisher
Princess Leia is a staple of Star Wars, and that is due in no small part to Carrie Fisher. In the original film, she was introduced as a heroin whom people could look up to, subverting the damsel in distress trope once she is broken out of her prison cell on the Death Star. This was a character who would have a strong staying power in the vast tapestry that is the Star Wars franchise.

'Star Wars' Reveals Alternate Scene From 'The Last Jedi'
The Last Jedi, arguably the most controversial film of the Skywalker saga and the sequel trilogy. To some, it is the best Star Wars film, to others, it is the worst Star Wars film of all time. Love it or hate it, The Last Jedi left a huge impact on all Star Wars fans. There was the killing of Snoke, Luke’s Force projection, and there was the Canto Bight scene.

The Mandalorian, given its huge success, is no exception.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Anakin Skywalker
Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, and arguably the most powerful Jedi of all time. Much has been told over the saga that bares his name, examining his training, the peak of his power, and his fall to the dark side during the prequels. However, in the already expansive and constantly growing Expanded Universe, there is still much to learn about young Skywalker. Here are some of the lesser known facts about this powerful Jedi Knight from books, comics, and deleted scenes. These facts will solely cover Anakin Skywalker before his fall and transformation into Darth Vader.

'Star Wars' Video Series Showcases Over 40 Years Of Sound Design
The plot of the original Star Wars is simple. A farmboy leaves his home, saves the princess, and then saves the galaxy. The visual effects of Star Wars were decent when I saw the pre-Special Edition original trilogy on VHS in 1999 (the movie was made in the late 1970s after all). I would learn later how George Lucas revolutionized the field of film special effects because he had to invented a lot of techniques to achieve what he wanted to see in Star Wars. However, the sounds of Star Wars provided a solid foundation for other movie elements to build on. This was not your typical science fiction movie. Think back to the scene in Star Wars when Luke is staring off at the twin suns of Tatooine. The perfect crescendo of the orchestra still gives me chills every time. Filling in between the overall theme provided by maestro John Williams, we have Ben Burtt to thank for rounding out the rest of the Star Wars galaxy.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Darth Revan
Revan first appeared in BioWare's 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The character finally became canon when the Revan Legion of the Sith Eternal army appeared in Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. The specific details of his backstory were still Legends, however. The rest of this article will be spoilers for those who have not completed the game, so I would recommend not going any further if you plan on playing the game (and you should play the game!)

Rian Johnson Confirms His 'Star Wars' Trilogy Is Still In The Works
If you have been in the Star Wars fandom within the last few years, you are bound to be familiar with Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. That film ended up being divisive among the fandom, but prior to its release, it became known that Rian Johnson would be developing a trilogy that would explore a part of Star Wars that had never been explored before. The details as to what this means have been unknown. We have heard Johnson say that it would not be Knights of the Old Republic. But beyond that, it is a complete question mark.
