Star Wars has several planets that are integral to almost every story that the franchise has to tell like Coruscant and Tatooine. One planet that might not come to mind is the ice planet Ilum.

Here are 5 things you don’t know about Ilum.

Temuera Morrison Thinks His Character Is Too Talkative In The New Show
Since Disney purchased Star Wars in 2012, they have pumped out a lot of media related to the IP. Five movies and several streaming series have been released, with even more on the way, such as the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi show. The latest one to debut has been The Book of Boba Fett, a show, fittingly enough, that centers around the mysterious bounty hunter of the same name. Based on the reviews so far, the general consensus is that the show itself is on the right side of pretty decent. It's no Mandalorian, but nothing has been so far.

New 'LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga' Gameplay Trailer Breakdown
LEGO Star Wars is here! One of the staples of Lucasfilm gaming over the many years has, of course, been the LEGO games. LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, the first game that covered the events of Episodes I- III, was the first major time Star Wars ventured into LEGO video games. It was a fun parody, and also a genuine retelling of the prequel trilogy. This was followed a few years later by LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, a game depicting Episodes IV- VI. These games were iconic for their time and a lot of fun. They also bring the world of Star Wars and LEGO together, which was an ingenious idea.

Does Boba Fett Suffer From PTSD?
Boba Fett has said, "I'm just a simple man making his way though the galaxy, like my father before me." He's touted himself as the everyman. Boba is an anti-hero, but not exactly a villain either, despite his working for the Galactic Empire. Therefore, like any average man, he lives with emotions. Looking back through Boba's misfortunes along his path, we can play psychiatrist and pull from the harsh history of pain he has endured to answer whether Boba Fett has PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Let's sort this out.

Carl Weathers Gives Fans An Update On ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3
Since Disney took over the property of Star Wars, fan reception has been mixed at best. However, everyone will agree that the Star Wars Disney+ series have been some of the sharpest writing, direction, and action to come to television in recent memory. When Disney announced the start of their streaming platform two years ago, everyone was immediately drawn to The Mandalorian and the world built by creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. Within the first two seasons, we have seen a unique side to the Star Wars universe with a world that has been well- rounded with callbacks to characters from the animated world and Legends. But since the end of season 2 and the great reveal of a certain Jedi Master, everyone has been wondering when season 3 will make its debut or if we have even started. Thanks to a tweet from Greef Karga himself, Carl Weathers, we know where we stand.

'Star Wars' Fans Are Confident That Obi-Wan Kenobi Will Surpass Loki As The Most Watched Premiere On Disney+
2022 is looking to be a hell of a year for Star Wars fans. Yeah, last year had plenty of books and comics come out, and we got the first season of The Bad Batch, but 2021 was a bit lackluster for Star Wars fans, especially over on Disney+. Compare that to Marvel, which had four movie releases and five Disney+ series: WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, WHAT IF...? and Hawkeye. Marvel fans were well catered to last year. Now it's our turn.

Temuera Morrison Reveals He'd Like To Play Other Notable Clones From The Saga
The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison may hold the record for most characters portrayed in a film series. He originally played bounty hunter Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones and his likeness was also cast on every clone trooper in Revenge of the Sith. Now he is portraying his character's own son. Jango requested an unaltered clone during his time on Kamino who he raised as his own son and named Boba Fett. Temuera Morrison now plays an older Boba in The Book of Boba Fett. However, it looks like Jango and Boba Fett aren't the only characters Temuera Morrison has his sights on. In a recent interview, he revealed the other characters in the Star Wars universe he would like to play.

Luke Skywalker Gets Advice From A High Republic Jedi
The ways that the current Star Wars comics have continued to seamlessly bridge every era of the franchise together have been most impressive. This is especially true in the case of the still fresh line of comics and novels The High Republic. This era of Star Wars has done a remarkable job of fleshing out the Jedi Order and the galaxy at large two hundred years prior to The Phantom Menace. The publishing line's various authors and creatives have managed to make every part of The High Republic feel consistent and cohesive with not just itself, but with the rest of the franchise as well. The latest issue of Charles Soule's mainline Star Wars comic series did that especially well by having one Jedi from The High Republic play a direct role in Luke Skywalker's Jedi training in the time between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Since 1977, lightsaber battles are a staple of Star Wars and the "Battle of the Heroes” between Obi-Wan and Anakin in Episode III will probably forever be the gold-standard for lightsaber duels.

Wookieepedia lists 35 episodes, plus the 2008 theatrical movie, that featured at least one lightsaber duel. It would not be possible to rank them all, but today we are going to look at the 10 best of them.
