'Star Wars' Finally Explains A HUGE Plot Point From 'A New Hope'
The Mandalorian is back, and it has been touted as the best Star Wars since the original trilogy. It has honed in on the western aspect that was so front and center for a portion of the original movie from 1977. It helps that the second season premiere brings the characters back to Tatooine, even expanding the worldbuilding of what people are used to thinking of as a bland, boring desert planet. The season premiere shows that there is still more to Tatooine than meets the eye, and even sheds a bit of light on a detail from the original film.

The Armeror is an experienced Mandalorian, although what type of experience she has endured is up for speculation. I will go into FULL Tale mode, as there are already overused speculation posts about the Armeror being Rook Kast, Ursa Wren, and even Bo Katan herself..

Olaf Recaps The 'Star Wars' Prequels
When thinking of Josh Gad and Star Wars, the first thing that may come to mind is the times when he tried to get "insider information" from Daisy Ridley in interviews as the sequel trilogy was coming out. He has also voiced a controller in Star Wars Rebels episode "Double Agent Droid." Now, we have another reason to associate him with the franchise.

Star Wars Confirms Where The First Order Truly Came From
When Disney purchased the rights to Star Wars and announced that a new trilogy of films would be created, there were naturally questions of who exactly the main villain would be. Return of the Jedi tied things up pretty neatly. The Emperor was dunked down a reactor shaft like a basketball, Anakin Skywalker came back to the light, and Luke Skywalker became a full fledged jedi. There was an entire galaxy full of possible threats to the new republic that would arise from the ashes of the Empire.

How The Lightsaber Has Changed Over Time
In many works of fiction, the main characters have certain items, called “props” that the characters always carry, that are associated with the character, or are otherwise usually present with the character. Typical examples are Long John Silver's parrot, Frodo's Sting or Indiana Jones' whip. These items are essentially extensions of the character, and are used not only as a tool or weapon but often for characterization and as an icon for which the character is remembered. In pop culture, the lightsaber is the iconic weapon of a Jedi, and although there are characters who are not Jedi who carry them, it has become a recognizable symbol of Star Wars and one that has evolved from a basic, metal tube to many other, more interesting and exotic designs.

There Is A Rumour That Shia LaBeouf Could Be In 'Star Wars' Soon
Star Wars casting rumors are on the rage. Some seem likely, some seem somewhat plausible, and some seem just way too out there. The fact of the matter is that we may not know for sure the legitimacy of rumors until something like an official confirmation from Lucasfilm comes out. However, some are interesting to think about.

The Mandalorian Is The Best Thing To Come From Star Wars Since The Original Trilogy
Pop culture today covers many thousands of different franchises, in movies, TV shows, books, comics and video games. The biggest franchise is that of Star Wars, heralded by the classic original movies from 1977 – 1983. Since then numerous Star Wars properties have been released, including more movies, TV shows and video games, creating such a massive franchise that even people not familiar with the Star Wars brand recognise the name “Star Wars.” But naturally, with the biggest franchise comes the biggest fanbase, and that unfortunately comes with a certain level of toxicity and expectation.

Kathleen Kennedy Is To Blame For The Sequel Films Failure
As we know the Star Wars sequel trilogy made over $4 billion dollar worldwide, however the number from Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens to Star Wars Episode XI: The Rise of Skywalker went down from earning $2.7 billion to $1.7 billion dollar. There are reasons why this film flopping over time, and to be honest, The Force Awakens made over $2 billion because of the long awaited Star Wars film since 2005’s Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It was long overdue for Star Wars fans and a nostalgia with the original characters to come back and reprise their respective roles for the older generation that grew up with the original trilogy. These two reasons why it drew the audience back to see the movie, of course, not too mention not just the older but new generation of Star Wars fan will see it no matter what. But why is the film flawed and going down? Well, the Star Wars sequel trilogy was already flawed from the get go, because of the lack of planning and forethought. Even George Lucas, what it seems like to claim that he mapped out all the entire Star Wars saga from the get go, but that’s just an over saturate statement, since there’s an existing evidence he was actually making up as he went along, with Darth Vader with a completely different back story before Darth Vader was reconned as Luke Skywalker’s father on his second draft of the script, as it had been seen in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
