Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
‘Kick-Ass’ And ‘The Kings Man’ Director Reveals He Would Love To Make A ‘Star Wars’ Movie
When it comes to adapting big-time comic book movies, one has to look no further than Matthew Vaughn to see how it is done. While he has found success with Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class, one series of films has always drawn the director's attention; Star Wars. Vaughn has even found success with his own series, Kingsman, which blends his signature wit with the spy genre for a thrilling action-adventure. Already on the third movie in the series, Vaughn has spoken out recently about how he will always love the Star Wars movies but felt the latest trilogy did not live up to expectations.

Jennifer Beals Reveals She Had No Idea What 'Star Wars' Show She Was Actually Starring In
Star Wars is no stranger to star power, from Lucas casting Harrison Ford, an actor more well known then anyone else in the cast, to The Clone Wars featuring guests from other sci-fi franchises like Star Trek and Doctor Who, star power has been playing a minor yet noticeable role in the saga for some time now. It’s no surprise that the latest show, The Book of Boba Fett, is having a few stars of its own. Most prominent is Jennifer Beals, who is best known for starring in the 1983 film Flashdance, and has been cast in Boba Fett as a Twi'lek character.

Dave Filoni Explains Why He Thinks Boba Fett Has Remained Such A Popular Character
It says on the back of the DVD case for Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II, that anything with Boba Fett featured in it increases it's worth by 800%. And that is definitely the case. Now more than ever. You could argue that Boba Fett has been popular since his appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, (tries not to remember the infamous Holiday Special, it didn't happen, it never happened. GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!) but you could also say he's been seen as a bit of a joke. That embarrassing defeat he suffered in Return of the Jedi, a temporarily blind man with a pole took out the galaxy's best bounty hunter after he had only been on screen for a combined 6 minutes.

'Andor' Star Discusses The Secrecy Behind The Show
It is of no surprise to anyone that a Disney property is keeping things close to the chest when it comes to spoilers. Marvel and the recent run of Star Wars movies and series have done an excellent job of keeping big reveals, character cameos, and plot points under wraps until the moment is right. Look no further than the doctoring of Marvel trailers, including Endgame and No Way Home, or the big reveal of The Child in the series premiere of The Mandalorian as examples of this secrecy.

Palpatine's Secret Hiding Place Highlights Just How Blind The Jedi Really Were
Palpatine is easily one of the most conniving and devious Sith in Star Wars. He was the mastermind behind the Clone Wars, pulling the strings of both Separatist and Republic leaders. If that wasn’t enough, he also hid in plain sight from the Jedi. Most of the time, he was able to manipulate the Jedi into carrying out his hidden agenda without the Jedi even noticing.

Adam Driver Shares What Daisy Ridley Is Really Like On Set
Whatever one might think about the Star Wars sequel trilogy, the ease with which its lead actors, Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver, worked with each other, particularly regarding Daisy Ridley, is real, according to actor Adam Driver. Like Mark Hamill before her, Daisy Ridley was a relative unknown when she was cast as Rey, the new lead Jedi character, in 2015's The Force Awakens. Adam Driver was cast as Kylo Ren (aka Ben Solo), a dark side Force user, who became Rey and the Resistance's primary nemesis throughout most of the sequel trilogy.

Top WOW Moments In The ‘Star Wars’ Prequels: Part 2
Another reason why I appreciate the prequels is they try to be different. The Force Awakens echoes A New Hope in how a nobody discovers they are Force-sensitive and helps thwart the antagonists. For all the claims that The Last Jedi subverts expectations (it doesn’t), it is largely a mash-up of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The Big Bad tries to turn our hero while the Empire… er, sorry...the First Order chase the Rebels… um...the Resistance through space. Last Jedi culminates in walkers marching on a fort whereas Empire begins with walkers marching on their base.
