Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Every Major Event From The 'Star Wars' Timeline In Chronological Order
Every major franchise creates its own history. Star Wars, of course, is no exception. The original Star Wars trilogy, released between 1977-1983, initially established the rough contours of galactic history within the Star Wars universe and gave us some hints of its past and some indications of its future. Creator George Lucas originally conceived of the original trilogy as a part of a larger saga. However, those blanks remained unfilled for several years. Between 1999- 2005, Lucasfilm released the prequel trilogy to tell us the "story before the story." Not content to stop there, Lucas later decided to delve into the Clone Wars era through a seven-season animated series. Once Disney acquired Lucasfilm, they immediately announced that there would be a sequel trilogy, set years after the original trilogy. Various other series and standalone movies have added even more content, filling in more of the gaps between the trilogies. This article will lay out the major events from the Star Wars films and television series to date.

Maul Actor Sam Witwer Hints At Cameo You "Won't Believe" In 'Book of Boba Fett'
Warning: Spoiler Alert for The Book of Boba Fett Episode 6 Everyone has been talking about The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes A Stranger. In what many would call Chapter 16.2 of The Mandalorian, we have many more surprise appearances in addition to what some fans jokingly refer to as a “cameo” by Boba Fett. Look away now if you do not want to be spoiled (although I believe all the memes flooding the internet might have already done that for you).

'Star Wars': How Exactly Is The Darksaber Different Than a Lightsaber?
Lightsabers are the most iconic part of Star Wars. They are the signature weapon of both Jedi and Sith, and they are tailored to the Jedi or Sith who wield them. However, none are as instantly recognizable or unique as the Darksaber. The Darksaber is a lightsaber, unlike any other lightsaber we have seen in Star Wars. With the popularity of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, the Darksaber is introduced to a host of new fans. As I said, it is instantly recognizable and visually distinct from other lightsabers. However, newer fans may not be as familiar with what makes the Darksaber unique. Not only is there a lot of history behind the Darksaber, but there is also a lot to set it apart from standard lightsabers.

'Star Wars': Who Saved Grogu From The Jedi Temple During Order 66?
Warning! There are spoilers below for The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian!!! The mystery behind who saved Grogu from the Jedi Temple during Order 66 has only grown greater since the airing of Chapter 6 of The Book of Boba Fett. In this episode, Luke Skywalker helps Grogu remember a piece of his past and gives fans a new glimpse into the Jedi Purge at the Jedi Temple. Much like many scenes featured in The Book of Boba Fett, this happened in a flashback showcasing a group of 501st Clone Troopers blasting three Jedi who were attempting to protect Grogu. Unfortunately, the identity of these three Jedi is unknown and, like the fate of most Jedi at the time, were killed by the Clone Troopers. It could be possible that in the season finale of The Book of Boba Fett, fans could finally get the answer to who saved Grogu. Here is a list of all possible candidates.

Every Character We Want To See In ‘Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2’
We love our cameos in Star Wars properties. It speaks to the depth of the universe when characters appear in properties not indigenous to those characters – like seeing Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian. Who? What!? When? We knew Luke was alive. But did anybody expect to see him? How cool.

What To Watch Before The Book Of Boba Fett Finale
Fair warning to those who for whatever reason may have not seen the most recent episode of The Book Of Boba Fett (and friends): spoilers ahead! With that out of the way none other than the infamous Cad Bane has made his return to the Star Wars small screen & what an entrance it was! He blasted everybody's favorite marshall Cobb Vanth & his not so bright deputy before making a cool smooth exit. It's no doubt the finale of The Book Of Boba Fett is going to be huge as the last episode pretty much ended with the Pykes starting the war by blowing up Madam Garsa's club in Mos Espa. So with the introudction of Cad Bane & the potential possibilty of more friendly faces coming to help Boba in his fight, I've compiled a list of episodes which I think would be good viewing going into the finale. Whether you're rewatching these episodes or just looking for more back story, these should all be enjoyable regardless!

Does Luke In 'The Book Of Boba Fett' Match Luke In 'The Last Jedi'?
Warning: Spoilers for 'Book of Boba Fett' Chapter 6 The conversation around The Last Jedi will never truly end, will it? Ever since Luke Skywalker's surprise appearance during The Mandalorian's second season finale, fans have been wondering how Lucasfilm will go about portraying and characterizing the famous Jedi in future stories. Well just this past Wednesday, we got our newest look at Luke during the penultimate episode of The Book of Boba Fett's first season. With Chapter 6: From The Desert Comes A Stranger, we saw Luke's approach to training Grogu and the rather harsh decision he gives the child between training as a Jedi or returning to Din Djarin. As such, many fans have been discussing how well this portrayal of Luke's character meshes with his portrayal in the sequels and in The Last Jedi in particular.

Star Wars: What Planet Has Luke Built His Jedi Temple On In 'The Book of Boba Fett'?
The Jedi are nothing if not mysterious. Even at their height, during the High Republic era, Jedi were a rare sight across the galaxy. And yet their reputation preceded them as guardians of peace and justice. As the centuries passed and the Jedi Order changed its philosophy, mainly due to tragic events, their reputation became tarnished. Some might say their hubris was the death of the Jedi. Immediately following the Clone Wars, the Republic fell, as did the Jedi Order. Then a new hope emerged through the dark times, helping to defeat the Empire.

The Reason Why Luke's Lightsaber Changed From Blue To Green In 'Return Of The Jedi'
In A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, lightsabers were presented as either blue or red. Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber had a blue blade, which became associated with the Jedi, as did the one that he gave to Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader, however, had a red lightsaber, which then became forever associated with the Sith. This all changed in Return of the Jedi when Luke Skywalker had built himself a new lightsaber. His new lightsaber broke away from the established color standard that everyone had come to expect as this one was green. However, all of the original posters and promotional material for Return of the Jedi had Luke Skywalker using the traditional blue-bladed lightsaber. Luke Skywalker's blue lightsaber even made it into the trailers. Based on this you can imagine the audience’s surprise when the actual film had Luke Skywalker using a green-bladed lightsaber rather than a blue one.

The Five Disney 'Star Wars' Series I Want to See
Disney’s taken an interesting approach with their Star Wars series. They began with The Mandalorian – a nobody in the Star Wars universe. Arguably, they wanted to test receptivity to a series. When that was, for the most part, positive, they proceeded to announce a whole raft of new series introducing familiar characters they could use as touchpoints.

Commenting On The Current State Of 'Star Wars' Comics
Comics have been a staple of the Star Wars franchise since its inception. With visual storytelling being such a big part of the DNA of Star Wars, of course comic books would play a big role. Going all the way back to when Marvel first held the license in the 70s and 80s, telling wacky stories of Luke, Han and Leia. It was very much the wild west of Star Wars storytelling at the time. Several bizarre adventures continued until the 90s, when the license went to Dark Horse and went on for several decades, until 2012 with the Disney buyout when the rights went back to Marvel.
