Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
New Production Notice Gives Details Of 'Ahsoka' Plot And Filming Start
Finally, we Star Wars fans can enjoy some new Star Wars content. I know last year we got The Bad Batch and Star Wars: Visions along with several comics and books. But show-wise, we were left a bit starved, compared to Marvel. Now we are two-thirds of the way into The Book of Boba Fett, and later this year we will hopefully be enjoying the likes of Andor, The Bad Batch Season 2, The Mandalorian Season 3, and of course, the long-awaited Obi-Wan Kenobi. 2022 is looking to be a great year for Star Wars fans.

Are We Expecting Too Much From 'Star Wars' On Disney+?
Expectations can be a dangerous thing if tapped into incorrectly. With Star Wars, it seems expectations either make or break many of these projects. A weight looms large over the franchise, one of great expectation, and hopes. There is a legacy that very few franchises have. It is probably a result of the cultural significance the original Star Wars trilogy had on the world. It impacted not only the fan base but modern pop culture as well. With all this in mind, many of us have high expectations, and all sorts of speculations and theories in regards to the Star Wars Disney+ shows.

Obi-Wan's Death In 'Star Wars: A New Hope' Was Originally Much More Graphic
One of the most innovative, exciting, and tragic things in Star Wars: A New Hope was the duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. The duel ended with Obi-Wan’s death and the disappearance of his body (we would later find that he had turned into a Force ghost), and Luke had to come to terms that his mentor is gone. Star Wars: A New Hope surprised everyone with how wildly popular it became and it set the standards for the space opera/science fiction genre storytelling. It was also innovative in the things that were done to craft the ships and special effects, and, of course, the lightsaber which had fans hooked since Obi-Wan Kenobi pulled Anakin’s blue lightsaber out to show Luke.

Top Starfighters In 'Star Wars'
As discussed in a previous article, one of the main elements of the Star Wars franchise are the exciting dogfights and the various types of starfighters involved in these aerial battles.

Momentum is building for the Ahsoka series coming soon to Disney+. Every few weeks, it seems there is a new member added to the cast. Rosario Dawson will reprise her role as Ahsoka, which she took on for the second season of The Mandalorian. Last summer, it was announced Hayden Christiansen would reprise his role of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Last fall, we learned about Australian actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Ukrainian actress Ivanna Sakhno. And now there is one more.

Black Krrsantan's Possible Connection To 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series
In less than a few weeks, Black Krrsantan has risen to stardom in the wider Star Wars fandom. The fierce Wookiee bounty hunter's striking design and vicious fighting style have quickly made him one of the most memorable characters in The Book of Boba Fett. While I have no doubt that Krrsantan will play a larger role in this series, there is also a popular theory going around about a role the character could be playing in another upcoming Star Wars series.

These Amazing 'Star Wars' Video Game Characters Deserve To Be Canon
Star Wars video games got a bad rap for being very mediocre for a long time. Most of the early games were reimaginings of movie elements and not much more. And with 8 or 16-bit graphics, that was not much. Thankfully, things began to change for the better in the early 1990s with new advancements in gaming technology. And with those advancements came better, more expansive stories exploring new characters and situations.

This 'Star Wars' Betrayal Causes Tatooine To Erupt Into A Civil War
The Book of Boba Fett is slowly (you might say very slowly) building up towards its climax at the end of its 7-episode run. And this climax more and more seems to be an inevitable war between the Pyke syndicate and Boba’s “army.”
