How Big Of An Effect The Domino Squad Had On Captain Rex
Die-hard fans of the 2008 The Clone Wars TV series knows how exciting it was to hear that it would finally be getting a Season 7 in 2020. Especially after the last season wrapped up in 2014 and left fans with even more questions regarding the clones and Order 66. So, when Season 7 did premier, it gave fans their much needed ending, even if it was a heartbreaking one. But one scene in Season 7 of The Clone Wars had many fans scratching their heads. In Episode 1 of Season 7, The Bad Batch, fans get to see Captain Rex sitting in the barracks looking over a photo of Commander Cody, himself, ARC Trooper Fives, and ARC Trooper Echo. When Commander Cody walks in to tell Rex that it was time to move out, Rex begins reminiscing about his fallen brothers, saying;

Who Exactly Was Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas?
Most of us know Sifo-Dyas as the Jedi Master who ordered the creation of the clone army before the events of Episode I: The Phantom Menace. But as is usually the case with Star Wars, there is more to the character than meets the eye. Sifo-Dyas was one of the few Jedi in the history of the order with the ability of Foresight. Meaning he could clearly see future events. He was also a close friend to his eventual murderer, Count Dooku.

Why Should I Be Excited for 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' on Disney+?
A common worry when asking about the Obi-Wan Kenobi series coming out on Disney+ is that it is going to be boring. Didn't Obi-Wan spend the time between Episode 3 and 4 of Star Wars on Tatooine just making sure nothing bad happened to Luke? If so, then the worst that could happen is an unfortunate event with a bounty hunter or a Krayt Dragon, and that could take two maybe three episodes, hardly a season. There is also NO WAY that Vader goes to Tatooine looking for anyone, because he hates the planet and believes that Padme died prior to giving birth to their children. It begs the question, what makes this series worth watching and how excited should I be?

Theory: Is Darth Vader Taking Over Crimson Dawn?
You can't keep a good Sith down. Greg Pak's ongoing Darth Vader series has taken the iconic villain in many unique directions. Starting immediately after the events of The Empire Strikes Back, Vader's new comic began with a story about him investigating the death of Padmé Amidala alongside her handmaiden Sabé.

Beyond Yoda - The Work And Life Of Frank Oz
Even casual Star Wars fans are familiar with Frank Oz, the puppeteer who brought Master Yoda to life in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Stuart Freeborn created the Yoda's appearance (partially based on his own features), but Oz was responsible for the personality and movements of the "little green friend," as Darth Sidious called him, and for his backward speaking manner.

Kevin Kiner's Music Is One Of The Best Parts Of 'Star Wars Rebels' And Here's Why
Even though the first episode of Star Wars Rebels aired back in 2014, I did not have a chance to watch it until recently. While its main theme of good vs. evil and the coming of age story are nothing new, I was instantly hooked. Not many television series nowadays have orchestral soundtracks, let alone one of the same grandeur as John Williams.
