Does 'Book Of Boba Fett' Show Luke Making The Same Mistakes As Yoda?
Warning: Spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett “Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger” Luke Skywalker is back once again, training Grogu in the Jedi ways, in the hopes of bringing back the Jedi Order. People who’ve seen later movies might know how part of that ends, including the fall to the dark side by Luke's own nephew, Ben Solo, but this Chapter could also help to explain why. It raises an interesting question, is Luke learning from the mistakes of the old Order or is he repeating them?

How Crimson Dawn Killed Off Emperor Palpatine's Royal Guards
Warning: Spoilers for Crimson Reign In the second issue of Star Wars: Crimson Reign, the latest comic miniseries from prominent Star Wars author Charles Soule, we discovered how Crimson Dawn managed to eliminate Sheev Palpatine's royal guards in their plot to assassinate the Emperor. Crimson Reign tells a story set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and follows Crimson Dawn's current leader, Lady Qi'ra, as she plans to kill Palpatine in order to create a more even playing field for the galaxy's most powerful syndicates. The comic's first issue focused on a group of mercenaries known as the Orphans, who attacked multiple crime syndicates in order to stoke a Syndicate War and distract the Emperor from Crimson Dawn. The second issue showed the next step in Qi'ra's grand plan.

Have You Seen This Fan Art Turning Finn Into Regal Jedi Knight?
In the more innocent days of 2015, three years after Disney purchased the Star Wars franchise, a new movie was released called Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The film signaled the start of the sequel trilogy, meaning Episodes VII, VIII, and IX, and the closing of what became known as the Skywalker Saga. In the first movie, fans immediately became divided by what they saw, and even though the prospect of a new Star Wars movie was exciting for most, the content did leave much to be desired, at least for some.

Is 'Star Wars' Becoming Too Reliant On Cameos?
Warning: Spoilers for Chapter 6: From The Desert Comes A Stranger It is starting to look like everybody knows everybody in Star Wars. Over the last few years, we have seen the franchise bring back many of its most iconic characters in current movies, shows, comics, novels, and video games. From original trilogy staples like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader to prequel mainstays like Yoda and Darth Maul. Of course, this makes sense in many respects. If you have gotten some of the most recognizable characters in pop culture, you might as well use them, right? But the question I want to talk about today is whether or not Star Wars has become too reliant on resurrecting these characters rather than focusing on new ones.

'The Book Of Boba Fett' Star Talks About On Set Environment
Jennifer Beals was a pleasant surprise and welcome addition to the Star Wars universe. In The Book of Boba Fett, she plays a Twi’lek named Garsa Fwip. Fwip owns and operates a cantina called The Sanctuary in Mos Espa, and unlike some other businesses in Mos Espa, she runs her business with dignity and respect. However, The Sanctuary wasn’t the only place treating its employees and patrons well. Jennifer Beals revealed that the set of The Book of Boba Fett was the “gold standard” in terms of set environment, and she said that Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni helped to create an incredibly “safe and joyful” set for everyone.

When Is A Cameo In 'Star Wars' Just A Cameo?
The Star Wars universe is a vast and expansive galaxy. It is also a place where a lot of the characters tend to run into each other when having their own adventures. As Lucasfilm continues to expand this universe, it also wants to connect it. As the series and film side of things continues to expand, it will have to deal with more characters and more cameos. But what defines a cameo? When is something truly a cameo in Star Wars? When is something just a cameo for a cameo's sake and when is it something far more?
