Revan Vs. Luke Skywalker: How Do The Two Star Wars Protagonist Compare?
If you have never had the chance to play not only one of the better games to come out of the first generation of Xbox, but the best Star Wars game to ever be released, then I feel terribly sorry for you. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a role-playing game that takes place in the Star Wars universe 4,000 years before the events of the original trilogy. It was canon up until Disney's gained the rights to Star Wars and have renounced all previously canonical stories.

May The Fourth Be With You: The Best Of Star Wars Day
It's 'punbelievable' that once again it is that day of the year. A day of bad Han Solo jokes, dogs dressing as Yoda and a reminder that Jar Jar Binks actually existed. That's right:

No Jedi Mind Tricks Here - The Full Star Wars Slate Until 2020
These are not the films you are looking for... The force is definitely strong in the franchise - last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens rebooted a cinematic legacy with a particularly rocky past. Somewhere between the Star Wars Holiday Special and Attack of the Clones it looked as if the Skywalker space opera had lost its way. Thankfully under J.J. Abrams tutelage, Star Wars was steered in the right direction and we can expect it for many years to come. The updated cinematic slate for the franchise reveals that we will see another five films between now and 2020, so hold on to your butts...here we go!

Is Harrison Ford Really Done With Star Wars: Episode VIII?
Never say never! It wasn't exactly a big secret that Harrison Ford wanted his wisecracking smuggler, Han Solo, to be killed off by George Lucas in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. It was a 32 year wait, but Ford finally got his wish when Han Solo bit the dust at the hands of his own son in last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But were we wrong to assume we had seen the last of the galaxy's Nerf herder?

Is 'Star Wars: Rogue One' Bringing Us A Family Rey-union?
There is something nostalgic about going back to the good ol' days of Death Stars, Grand Moff Tarkin and a time before the planet of Alderaan was a pile of space dust. Well if that is your bag, then saddle up for December's Star Wars: Rogue One. Oscar-winner Felicity jones leads a team of rebels who attempt to take on (and take down) the iconic Death Star. In the vein of last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 'here come the girls', so just who is Jyn Erso and why does she look so familiar? Could this be the fabled Rey's mother?

The 3 Reasons Why 'Star Wars: A New Hope' Is The Greatest Film In The 'Star Wars' Franchise
If you're new to this whole #StarWars thing, then I feel sorry for you, because the entire Star Wars universe has been one of the most influential franchises to my upbringing as a child of the science fiction genre. Racing into the stars was something that I wished I could do growing up; being an astronaut would have been the most amazing experience if it weren't for my fear of heights and possibly exploding from a spark in the rocket fuel strapped to my seat.
