Ian McDiarmid Teases His Involvement In A Future 'Star Wars’ Project As The Emperor
Emperor Sheev Palpatine of the Galactic Empire was the ruler of the galaxy for more than two decades (not including his term as Supreme Chancellor of the Republic). His evil spread far and wide. He caused the suffering of millions of lives. However, his power and influence were UNLIMITED, so with all that being said, there is always a good chance for him to return to various new Star Wars Disney+ shows that take place in the era of his being alive. Now whether or not he will is another matter altogether. However, Ian McDiarmid did bring up something at a recent convention just not long ago.

Breaking Down The Father-Son Relationship Between Qui-Gon Jinn And Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series premieres May 27 on Disney+ with a double episode to kick off the mysterious story of the exiled Obi-Wan Kenobi between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. There is a chance that we might get to see Obi-Wan’s former master Qui-Gon Jinn again. We know from the finale of Revenge of the Sith that Yoda talked to Obi-Wan about how to communicate with his deceased master, who learned to preserve his living essence as a Force ghost. Given how little the movies explore Obi-Wan's relationship with his old master, let us jump into the details of what we know about the story behind the Jedi Master and his Padawan and explore the things we should know about their relationship before Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres.

How 'Star Wars' Lost At The Oscars
It is hard to imagine that Star Wars will turn 45 years in just a few weeks. When the movie finally hit the big screen on May 25, 1977, its creator George Lucas was exhausted physically and mentally. So, he flew to Hawaii with his pal Steven Spielberg, where they got the news about people standing in line around whole blocks to see the space opera. Again, and again, and again.

How 'Kenobi' Can Explain Where Obi-Wan's Nickname Came From . Top Story - May 2022.
One of the major reasons I loved Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was its ability to re-contextualize A New Hope right from the opening crawl. The crawl mentions rebel spies winning their first battle against the evil Galactic Empire and how spies stole secret plans for their ultimate weapon, the Death Star. For me, watching the opening scene of A New Hope directly after watching Rogue One is maybe my favorite Star Wars thing to do because they connect so well.

Theory: Was the Death Star II Built On Exegol?
Even among hardcore fans of the original Star Wars trilogy, Return of the Jedi is generally regarded as the weakest of the three classic movies. One of the most popular criticisms of the film is its reuse of elements from A New Hope. From the opening on Tatooine to the climactic battle in space, the third installment of the original trilogy did seem to go back to the still young franchise's greatest hits after The Empire Strikes Back took the Star Wars universe in a new and introspective direction. But perhaps the most universally recognized example of Return of the Jedi's reliance on the first film was the introduction (or lack thereof) of the Death Star II.
