'The Book of Boba Fett' Shows Boba At His Lowest Point
*Spoiler warning for The Book of Boba Fett* Boba Fett has always been a loser. Despite the famous bounty hunter's reputation for ruthlessness, he can't seem to stop getting his butt kicked. Whether he's getting accidentally beaten by a blinded Han Solo, shoved into a box by Asajj Ventress, knocked out by R2-D2 or swallowed an ungodly number of times by the Sarlacc, the life of Boba Fett has always been a rough one, but he has continued on nonetheless. For me, one of the best things about the first episode of The Book of Boba Fett was how effectively it conveyed this.

How The Comics Set Up The Status Quo Of 'Book of Boba Fett'
With The Book of Boba Fett out, many Star Wars fans are asking themselves several questions about the galaxy far, far away. The main question is, of course, what is the status quo of the galaxy after the fall of the Empire and the end of Jabba the Hutt. What is the state of the criminal underworld and all the various crime lords, gangs, syndicates, and other factions that once dominated the seedier sides of the Star Wars galaxy. In the Marvel comics, we get a good look at what the status quo of the underworld is during the time of Book of Boba Fett.

Kyber Crystals Originally Had A Very Different Impact On The 'Star Wars' Universe
If there is one thing Star Wars is known for, ideas are never thrown out. Perhaps they are not suitable for this situation, but hold on to them, they might be useful for a future project. Long before (approximately 25 years) Samuel L. Jackson played Jedi Master Mace Windu in The Phantom Menace, Mace Windu's name appeared in George Lucas' very rough draft for Star Wars. Even midi-chlorians were an early concept, despite the divisiveness they caused among older fans in 1999.

Review: ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ - Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land
By the time I’d gotten around to watching the pilot of The Book of Boba Fett, social media had already told me it was terrible. It was a filler. It looked like a bad fan-made film, and that writer/director Jon Favreau had no idea what he was doing.

Mark Hamill's Response To Resurfaced German 'Star Wars' Parody Video
It was December 21st, 2021, the year was almost over and The Book of Boba Fett was ready to premiere its first episode; but it seems the galaxy far, far away still had one secret left for 2021. To be more accurate, a secret from about 40 or so years ago. A long time ago, in a country far, far away, there was a music program called Disco. It was aired on the German ZDF network from 1971 to 1982, during the East-West split of the cold war; ZDF was West German, to clarify. If there’s anything to compare it to, I’d say it was an equivalent of something you’d find on MTV during its golden age, or VH1, from what we can tell.

‘Solo: A Star Wars’ Story Writer Was Told Boba Fett Was "Off Limits"
Writer Jonathan Kasdan, who co-wrote Solo: A Star Wars Story, revealed he had intentions to use a particular character but was not permitted to do so. Disney told him that the character was off-limits. Solo was a financial disaster for the studio amidst shake-ups and reshoots that cost the studio millions of dollars. Could the film have been saved if Kasdan could have used the character he wanted, Boba Fett? Fans had been begging to see more of Boba Fett at the time, so it could have renewed interest in his character and Han Solo's story.

Theory: Could 'Star Wars Eclipse' See The Inclusion Of A Young Dooku?
The cinematic trailer for the upcoming Star Wars video game Eclipse features a short scene with Master Yoda standing alone in the Jedi Council Chambers, staring out at the skyline of Coruscant. Although the trailer includes some familiar species, like Duros and Neimoidians, Yoda is the only familiar character we know of who will appear in Eclipse. A new theory now states that the game might feature another well-known person from the time of the prequel era: Count Dooku.

How Bo-Katan Could Be Made Into A Villain For 'Mandalorian' Season 3
It was only a little over a year ago, Chapter 16: The Rescue of The Mandalorian Season 2 debuted on Disney+, and boy, what a finale it was. Din Djarin had completed his task of rescuing Grogu from Moff Gideon and allowing the youngling to go with Luke Skywalker. You'd think it was a happy ending. The bad guy defeated, the heroes save the day, but it was also a sad farewell. Grogu was now with his people, the Jedi.

Did Kylo Ren And Rey Already Have/Make A Force Connection In 'The Force Awakens'?
In The Last Jedi, Supreme Leader Snoke claims that he established a Force connection between Kylo Ren (aka Ben Solo) and Rey that ultimately draws Rey to seek out Kylo, believing that, since Luke refused to return with her to help the Resistance, Kylo might turn away from the dark side and help them. Kylo, sick of Snoke's abusiveness, as well as genuinely wanting to save Rey's life, turns the tables on his master and slays him. Kylo and Rey then join forces in a truly cinematic battle against Snoke's Praetorian guards, who rush to confront them in the wake of their master's death. However, Kylo ultimately refuses to aid the Resistance and Rey leaves him, trying to shut him out.
