Five Reasons Why Luke Skywalker Series Is A Good Idea And Five Reasons Why It's Not
Why It's A Good Idea: 1.) More Jedi Action - The Jedi have become iconic for their flowing robes, their wise perception of the galaxy, and their weapon of choice, the lightsaber. The original trilogy showed just a small amount of a Jedi's combat prowess, including Luke cleaning up the scum and villainy aboard Jabba's sail barge in Return of the Jedi. But it was the prequels where the true power of the Jedi was on full display. The dismantling of battle droids, acrobatic maneuvers, and over-the-top saber duels make the Jedi the best parts of the prequels and The Clone Wars. A Luke Skywalker series would be an excellent platform to see a favorite character from the original trilogy get these kinds of moments and duels. Whether he be sparring with young Ben Solo or Leia or taking out servants of Snoke, we would be in for some exceptional action from Luke. Witnessing the power of a true Jedi Master against the forces of the dark side would be reason enough to tune in every week to a Luke Skywalker series.

How JFK's 1960's America Influenced Story Of 'Star Wars: The High Republic'
Star Wars: The High Republic is a publishing initiative that just launched this past weeks. It was originally supposed to launch last August, but it finally came, and there is something that just feels right about having this launch at the start of a new year. Within this past week, we saw the release of a couple of novels and the first issue of a comic series. One of the novels, Light of the Jedi, has been getting some positive reception, which is not very surprising given its author Charles Soule's track record with Star Wars. While he has primarily worked on the comics, getting readers excited to read more about Poe Dameron and Darth Vader each month over the years, he has once again made his mark with his new novel, which is set 200 years before the events of the films.

Grand Admiral Thrawn Might Be The Greatest Threat In 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
The Mandalorian season 2 might have come to an end, but there is still at least another chapter left in our titular hero's adventures. We watched our stoic hero say goodbye to everyone's smallest friend in the finale, as that friend walked off with a certain notable Jedi Master. With this, Din Djarin said goodbye to his quest from the first two seasons. Now we need a new story to tell, and there are a lot of rumors as to which it might be. A common one was actually referenced in "Chapter 13: The Jedi": Grand Admiral Thrawn.
