Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Anakin's Most Impressive Kill Was A Blink-And-You-Miss-It Moment
Battles across the galaxy were still raging on. Palpatine had just implemented Order 66, causing Jedi to fall at the hands of once-loyal clone troopers. Anakin Skywalker had completely succumbed to the twisted machinations of Palpatine, who had expertly bent the once-promising young Jedi into the next Sith Lord Darth Vader. One would be forgiven for missing one of Vader’s quickest kills. It was an encounter against one of the Jedi Order’s greatest warriors.

A History Of The Ones Who Resided In The Realm Of Mortis
You may recognize the mural above as a detail from the final season of Star Wars Rebels. The show didn't delve into the lore or do much explaining about who the beings were, but that doesn't make them an insignificant piece. Referring to anything in Star Wars as simply “The Ones” can sound a bit confusing, mysterious, or downright boring. Let me assure you, they are anything but.

Why 'Star Wars' Should Embrace Animated Series Over Live-Action
Star Wars has blessed fans with more than a few animated shows over the years, and while they were advertised more for younger audiences, adult fans found that they enjoyed the animated series just as much. For example, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which began in 2008, never shied away from adult topics through the entire 7 seasons. In fact, the last season that finally aired in 2020 seemed to be made specifically for older viewers. The Star Wars franchise is generally always met with high approval for their animated shows and movies, while the live-action films and series tend to have a rocky start.

Why 'Star Wars Galaxy Of Adventures' Is Underrated
In a Star Wars Galaxy, every day can be an adventure. I recently sat down to watch Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures, the animated YouTube Short series released by Disney in late 2018. The animated mini-series is a culmination of what made the original Clone Wars, and the sequel series, Star Wars Resistance, so great and it wasn’t afraid to give us a few original tales in our already beautiful galaxy.

Why 'Phineas And Ferb: Star Wars' Is Enjoyable For Adults Too
In the mid-2000s, George Lucas began to take on a more relaxed approach when it came to parodies and spoofs of his saga. He not only endorsed them but also collaborated with the writers and producers. Sometimes, he even participated in their works. This led to Seth Green’s Robot Chicken Star Wars trilogy, Seth McFarlane’s Family Guy spoof of the original trilogy, and the still unreleased Star Wars Detours. The former two contained a rather adult kind of humor that were not necessarily suited for the eyes and ears of younglings. The LEGO Star Wars animated movies and shorts, which started to appear around the same time, were more targeted towards this demographic, as was Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars, first released on July 26, 2014 on Disney Channel.

Let's face it, the lightsaber is one of the most iconic weapons ever created. From the signature power-up sound, the dazzling and fearsome blade colors, to the epic duels fought with them, it's no wonder many hail the lightsaber as the pinnacle of sci-fi/fantasy weaponry.

Are The Politics of the Galactic Republic Well Crafted or Beautiful Mess?
Over nine saga movies, two anthology movies, and a seven-season long cartoon, we see Jedi heroics with their laser swords, fantastic battles in the vacuum of space, and giant walking tanks blasting through battles on incredible planets. But how much do we actually understand about the way things work in the background? Much of the Saga takes place during three eras: the fall of the Republic, the reign of the Galactic Empire, and the struggle between the First Order and the New Republic. For a system of government that’s existed for thousands of years, there’s not much explicit discussion as to the workings of the Republic that gave way to the Empire. So how exactly did the Republic work? Without any explicit explanation, we have to glean what we can from the movies, shows, and books to really garner how this system worked, and how that allowed a fascist government to replace it.

Star Wars in the realm of Kingdom Hearts? The Kingdom Hearts game series is about to get another expansive moment in its history with the introduction of Kingdom Hearts IV. This will continue the franchise from where we last left off in Kingdom Hearts III.
