Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
Why David Prowse Was Not Allowed To Attend Official 'Star Wars' Events
Lucasfilm usually does not take lightly when one of its employees or contractors behaves inappropriately or says something out of line. Recent examples like Colin Trevorrow, Christopher Miller, Phil Lord, and author Chuck Wendig among others could testify. However, cutting ties with one of its stars or even penalizing them is not something that has started only after Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012.

'Star Wars' Reveals Why The First Order Didn't Blow Up Coruscant In 'The Force Awakens'
Coruscant is an ecumenopolis planet (where the cities have merged into one city across the whole planet) located in the Core Worlds quadrant region of the Star Wars universe.

How Disney Could Change The Name Of Boba Fett's Ship
There's never a shortage of discourse in the Star Wars fandom, though that isn't to say that a lot of it isn't justified. The online controversy surrounding Slave I, Boba Fett's famous starship began back in June of 2021, when it was reported that the name of the ship's LEGO Star Wars set would be renamed from Slave I to Boba Fett's Starship. To the average Star Wars fan, this was barely even news. But sadly, many self-proclaimed "hardcore" fans began to complain about Disney apparently "ruining" Boba Fett's starship by changing its name on a toy box. The heated discourse was rekindled again recently with the release of The Book of Boba Fett's fourth episode, in which the ship is never directly referred to by name. This has only increased these fans' paranoia about the ship's name being changed, despite it still being called Slave I on its canon Wookieepedia page.

How Boba Fett's "Flashbacks" May Not Be An Accurate Account Of His Story
Warning! The following contains spoilers for 'The Book of Boba Fett' Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett finally answers the question that has been looming over fans ever since Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2 Chapter 14, The Tragedy aired. That question being, how did Boba Fett survive the sarlacc pit? Since his reappearance, fans have had their theories and speculations while others turned to the comics, but now, especially for those who only follow the movies and streaming series, that question has finally been answered. But now a new question presents itself after The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 4, The Gathering Storm, has aired.

New Details About the Rancor Make This 'Return Of The Jedi' Scene More Heart-Breaking
Rancors, consisting of several subspecies, are semi-sentient reptilian carnivores typically found on Dathomir and Felucia used for work in agriculture and war. Chapter 3 of The Book of Boba Fett, brought back the ferocious rancor from Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, except it was not quite so ferocious. This time the rancor appears to be a lot tamer and much younger than the rancor that Luke Skywalker slew in the dungeon inside Jabba's Palace.
