Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Potential Leak States 'Star Wars: Eclipse' Gameplay Will Reportedly Be Inspired By 'The Last Of Us'
The Star Wars gaming community is still reeling from the release of the Star Wars Eclipse cinematic reveal trailer. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one, as the stage is set for (hopefully) a renaissance of Star Wars video games. As new developers and studios take up the heavy Star Wars mantle, fans wait in anticipation to see what will be coming to their consoles. Eclipse caught fan attention with an impressive trailer, but still little is known about the actual gameplay, story, or setting of Eclipse, short of it being set in the High Republic and being developed by Quantic Dream.

Does Yoda’s Lightsaber In ‘The Book Of Boba Fett’ Create A Canon Inconsistency?
Wow, so Chapter 6 of The Book of Boba Fett is out and wow, was it a good episode. The return of Cobb Vanth, along with Grogu, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, the surprise appearance of Ahsoka Tano, and to top it off, crossing from animation to live action, Cad Bane. Dave Filoni, you did well and the showrunners (Filoni and Favreau) did say that The Book of Boba Fett was going to be a bit like a Season 2.5 of The Mandalorian. Speaking of which, Chapter 6 ended on a choice, a choice which we may have to wait for the results of in Season 3 of The Mandalorian.

Is 'Star Wars' Becoming A Cameo Machine?
Warning: Spoilers for Chapter 6: From The Desert Comes A Stranger It's starting to seem like everybody knows everybody in Star Wars. Over the last few years, we've 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've got 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.

Will Cad Bane Get A Rematch With This Character From 'The Bad Batch'?
The Book of Boba Fett “Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger” brings back one of Star Wars’ most fascinating characters: Cad Bane. This is the first time that Star Wars fans see Cad Bane in live-action, having previously just seen him in The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch animated series. In The Book of Boba Fett, Cad Bane is voiced by Corey Burton, the original voice actor, but portrayed by a stuntman. Cad Bane’s appearance in The Book of Boba Fett raises some questions about what his relationship with Boba Fett and Fennec Shand is going to be and answers some questions about his character still being alive after the Empire has fallen. It also raises some questions about what else may be in store for this character either live-action or animated.

This Is Luke Skywalker
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker made a return to the Star Wars small screen in the penultimate episode of The Book of Boba Fett & it had a far more mixed response than I myself expected. I was quite happy with both his portrayal & the means in which they brought him to life for this episode, even as I learned more about how each facet of this character was created. The obvious being Luke's face being digitally created similar to what they did in the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian but obviously they've come a lot farther with this tech, not to mention the far better lighting conditions they were working with this time around.

Did You Catch This Barriss Offee Easter Egg In 'Book Of Boba Fett'?
Back in a season 2 episode of The Mandalorian, Ahsoka Tano told Din Djarin, that The Child Grogu had been raised in the Jedi Temple and trained by many Jedi Masters. After the fall of the Order, he had to hide his powers for many years in order to survive. One of the many surprises of chapter 6 of The Book of Boba Fett was the scene where Grogu remembered the events around Order 66. Luke used a kind of mind-meld in order to unearth some of the memories that The Child had been hiding for so long.

Why Grogu Will Not Stay With Luke To Be A Jedi
Some of the most dramatic events in Star Wars occurred because of someone’s choice. Shmi Skywalker let her son Anakin choose to leave everything he knew to become a Jedi. This led to a series of terrible decisions by Anakin, most notably choosing to join the dark side because he thought it would save his wife. Ahsoka chose to leave the Jedi Order because of the way they assumed her guilt. Lastly, Luke chose to leave Tatooine and accept the call to adventure. At one time, George Lucas said Star Wars is about choosing good over evil. And now, another choice awaits us.

Five Things You Didn't Know About Naboo
When George Lucas created the world that we have come to know as the Star Wars universe, we had a limited view of the world in the original trilogy. As the movies grew, people became more and more involved in the creation of the universe in the prequel trilogy, the sequel trilogy, and everything in between. We learned there were more planets to explore and learn about. To the hardcore fans, we now seem to know every aspect of the galaxy far, far away, but the glory of having new shows and movies means more casual fans are starting to join the rest of us. In the last few weeks, The Book of Boba Fett has brought back the planet of Naboo into the spotlight as this is where the titular Mandolorian, Din Djarin got his new spaceship. So naturally, people want to know more about where is Naboo and why everyone seems so interested again in this planet.

What Will Grogu's Choice Be And What Could That Mean For the Characters Future?
This article contains spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger The last episode of The Book of Boba Fett was quite a doozy and expanded on some notable characters in the Mando-verse. In the latest episode of The Book of Boba Fett, we were reunited with Luke Skywalker and Grogu as Din Djarin went out of his way to see his little green friend once again. There he sees that he has been training to be a Jedi. But, of course, Din is discouraged from seeing him. For if Grogu is to be a Jedi, then he must be willing to let go of his attachments to those he loves to commit to the ways of the Jedi. A child needs to live independently from their parents. In Din's case, he may have been too overbearing for Grogu to learn about the Force.
