Exclusive Interview With Edward Dodds: From ‘Stargate’ To ‘Star Wars’
Edward Dodds is the editor and contributor to Star Wars: Supernatural Encounters by Joe Bongiorno and contributor to Unauthorized Offworld Activation: Exploring the Stargate Franchise, edited by Rich Handley and Joseph Dilworth Jr. While Edward Dodds might not be a household name for most Stargate or Star Wars fans, his contributions to the more obscure parts of both franchises is noteworthy. I recently interviewed Dodds about his love of science fiction, more specifically two franchises that are similar in many respects, but quite different in others: Stargate and Star Wars. His immense knowledge of these two franchises is impressive, and it had been a joy to pick his brain.

CT-7567: The Legacy And Impact Of Captain Rex
A clone who shares his face with a million brothers, Captain Rex is perhaps one of the most memorable characters throughout Star Wars. Considering he has only made his appearance in animation, one would be hard-pressed to find a character as admired as the captain of the 501st. But what is it about Captain Rex that makes him so endearing? His viewpoint is incredibly unique. He is not a civilian, but he is no Jedi either. His knowledge of the inner workings of the Republic goes far beyond what some senators know, yet he is not blessed with the power of the Force.

Deborah Chow Confirms 4-LOM Isn’t In 'Kenobi'
Yesterday Deborah Chow, Director of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the highly anticipated Disney+ series dropping later this month, spoke to Uproxx about the series. During the interview, she clarified the appearance of a droid that bears a striking resemblance to 4-LOM, the droid bounty hunter briefly featured in Empire. Sadly for fans of the droid bounty hunter, it appears that it isn't 4-LOM in the trailer, but instead a new droid; 1-JAC. In the trailer we see the droid taking shots at Obi-Wan on a rooftop in a city we have never seen before.

Does This New Evidence Show 'Jedi: Fallen Order 2' Release Window?
The story of Cal Kestis finding his way to become a Jedi knight captivated audiences and surprised Star Wars fans with the immersive storytelling and fun gameplay back in 2019.

Rosario Dawson 'Can’t Be Trusted' With 'Star Wars' Secrets
There are many actors in Hollywood that will carry trade secrets to their graves, Rosario Dawson is not one of them. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, she recollected posting a rumor she had read in a trade publication about the new Ahsoka series coming to Disney+ next year. The rumor was that Hayden Christensen would reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker. The post on Instagram was a snapshot of a trade publication headline and Dawson's caption simply read, "Skyguy...They Know!!! See you soon, Snips."

New Posters Show Off The Lightsabers In 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series is just around the corner and we cannot wait to see Ewan McGregor reprise his role as our favorite Jedi from the prequels. Fans of the franchise have been finding it difficult to curb their enthusiasm since the trailer for the miniseries dropped on Star Wars day, May the fourth. On May 11th, the official Twitter account of the series released images of five lightsabers that belong to important characters in the series, which can all be unlocked by followers by liking the tweet. The lightsabers that were revealed belong to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Reva (also known as the Third Sister), Fifth Brother, and the Grand Inquisitor.

New Photo Of Hayden Christensen In Lightsaber Training Complete With Cape Revealed
"This is where the fun begins." These are the legendary words of Anakin Skywalker as he flew in to rescue then-Chancellor Palpatine alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi in the opening scene of Revenge of the Sith. I would say the line is also very appropriate in regards to Obi-Wan Kenobi, the upcoming six-episode miniseries premiering on Disney+ on May 27. Headed by Deborah Chow, whose previous works include directing two episodes of The Mandalorian, the series will follow the titular Jedi as he temporarily leaves Tatooine to presumably lead the Inquisitors away from discovering the young Luke Skywalker on the desert planet. As he is pursued by the Inquisitors, Obi-Wan will go on a journey that will lead to another confrontation with his fallen apprentice, Darth Vader. While Ewan McGregor's return to the role of Obi-Wan is undoubtedly the biggest draw for the series, another major selling point for many, myself included, is the return of Hayden Christensen to the role of Anakin Skywalker.
