The Rise of Skywalker or the Fall of Rey?
So how about that teaser, huh? Quite a curveball to say the least with that last shot of Rey looking like the second coming of Darth Maul. I must admit, I am pleasantly surprised with the reveals of both teasers for Rise of Skywalker. First, we learn that Palpatine is back, and now we’re given the impression that Rey may do more than just flirt with the dark side in this one. My question is: What is the connection between both reveals?

Disney+ 'Star Wars' Series 'The Mandalorian' Offers a New Look at A Galaxy Far, Far Away
After the first images of The Mandalorian Disney+ series were unveiled at the Star Wars Celebration, fans everywhere have been patiently waiting for the first trailer to arrive. And now that moment has finally come courtesy of the D23 fan expo. Over the past four decades, the Star Wars franchise has been a force to be reckoned with in the film industry, and has changed the way we look at movies forever. From the original trilogy to the prequels, to the modern Star Wars films, these epic space operas have solidified a legacy and fanbase that can be best described as the stuff of legends. And while they have had success with animated shows like The Clone Wars, Rebels and Resistance, their endeavors in live-action on the small screen are non-existent. That's right, one of the most dominant franchises in the galaxy has never attempted to enter the scripted TV world with all the live-action trimmings. Well, all of that is about to change, because this first teaser for The Mandalorian means that Star Wars is finally ready to make the leap into live-action TV.

The Vegaa Star Saga Pt. III
"With Maul taken care of, the oppression of the Sith was lifted for the time being, allowing a new era of Force-sensitive children to carry on the legacy of the Jedi." Focusing on the great wave of force surrounding him, Obi-Wan Kenobi bent reality to his will and transformed through time and space, transporting himself into what became known as the Force speed to the Jedi. Obi-Wan had to use the ability to travel through the Force speed itself for the first time to warn the remaining Jedi Order of the Sith's defeat while using this technique to arrive in the Jedi home-world of Coruscant faster. Obi-Wan continued his journey into the unknown, and it appeared to him that he had traveled through the universe's hyper-speed of time. Obi-Wan was startled by a flash of thunder and lightning that erupted all around the Force speed.

Should Marvel Adapt 'The Empire Strikes Back' Again?. Top Story - July 2019.
Since 2015, Marvel has been publishing an ongoing comic series simply titled Star Wars. These issues have essentially been the adventures of Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Artoo, and Threepio, filling in the gap between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. For a while, readers have been wanting this series to go beyond this three-year period. Now, Greg Pak is taking the reigns of the series, starting with Star Wars #68. This will kick-start the Rebels and Rogues arc, which is set just before The Empire Strikes Back. It seems that readers are finally getting their wish. But if this series is to go beyond Empire, there remains a question: Should Marvel adapt The Empire Strikes Back again?

The Beauty in the Bad: A Love Letter to Everything That Is Wrong with 'The Phantom Menace'
A wise man once said that your focus determines your reality. And well, to me, it actually rings the most true in regards to the very movie it came from in form of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Simply put, I've gone from loving it unconditionally as a kid to being more than a fair bit conflicted with it during the emergence of in depth YouTube reviews, to eventually making peace with it it's flaws and loving it for it's amazing world-building, technical prowess, and some truly memorable scenes. However, in recent years, I've also come around on many of its flaws.

My Hopes for Rey
Her Lineage With title being The Rise of Skywalker it’s safe to say Episode 9 will revolve around members of the Skywalker family or their legacy being carried on by their apprentices. I also would not be surprised if Rey turns out to secretly be a Skywalker. However, since seeing The Force Awakens, I have suspected and hoped that Rey was a descendant of Qui-Gon Jinn. For starters I think it would be boring if 9 movies spanning nearly 70 fictional years and over 40 real years revolve around one family. Therefore I’d prefer Rey to be anyone but a Skywalker but her being related to Qui-Gon Jinn is my first choice. The first and most obvious reason is because their long dark hair and the robes they wear make them look similar. Secondly I think this could also work from a story perspective as Qui-Gon Jinn was known to be a somewhat controversial Jedi who often disagreed with the Jedi council. So even if Jedi were forbidden to marry, it wouldn’t have been out of character for Qui-Gon Jinn to start a family in secret. This would lead to Rey’s humble beginnings and would explain why Kylo Ren believed Rey’s family was unimportant. Finally having Qui-Gon as her ancestor would be interesting as he is one of the few popular Jedi to only appear in one live action film. Plus 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of his first appearance so it would be nicely timed.
