Just a few months before production on Star Wars: Starfighterbegins, Shawn Levy's Star Warsmovie has found its villain. The standalone Star Wars movie is set to follow Ryan Gosling's lead character, and while details about the movie are overall few and far between, there is quite a bit we're learning from this slowly-growing cast. Star Wars: Starfighter is breaking a common franchise trend by casting some massive names, and its villain is the next one to this star-studded roster. 6l3z1t

I have figured out a parallel between the Empire and the Jedi Order in Star Wars, and it proves why the latter had to fall. The many Star Wars movies have focused on the ever-raging war between the forces of light and dark, with the Jedi and the Empire often being personifications of this. While the franchise has focused on Star Wars' powerful Sith Lords or Imperial-like organizations such as the First Order, Emperor Palpatine has been the overarching villain of the Skywalker Saga, with the Jedi of different generations opposing him.

Why is there a lack of safety railings aboard the Death Star? We answer all your questions about the design and history of the first and second Death Stars in Star Wars.

A great Bix and Cassian storyline from Andor season 2 was subtly foreshadowed in season 1 thanks to one of the show's most iconic lines. Andor season 2's ending made Bix and Cassian's connection devastatingly tragic, primarily due to how the episodes prior established their romantic relationship. More so than in season 1, the positioning of Andor season 2's cast of characters allowed Bix and Cassian to spend a lot more time together in a variety of different scenarios.

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Jedi Knights #4Marvel's new Star Wars series is the perfect blueprint for future shows, and I think Lucasfilm needs to revisit Tales of the Jedi. Originally, I was excited to see that Lucasfilm was focusing on different characters beyond the Jedi with future "Tales of..." series like Tales of the Empire and the recent Tales of the Underworld. However, I gotta it that Marvel's new Jedi Knights series has made me rethink my stance.

Star Warsjust doubled down on a subtle Sith retcon, and it has once again been a major update to the history of the Sith. Although Star Wars' most powerful Sith remain some of the most popular characters in the franchise, there's actually been relatively little about the history of the Sith shown in Star Wars movies and TV shows. Star Wars books and video games, both canon and non-canon, have explored these stories in greater detail, but even then, the history has changed and had gaps over time.

A new era is coming for Star Wars, with the latest reports suggesting just what will happen when Kathleen Kennedy eventually steps down as president of Lucasfilm. Current Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy was hand-picked by George Lucas as his successor, but she's been something of a lightning rod for criticism ever since. Although Kennedy has no intention of retiring from filmmaking, there have been consistent reports that she's soon to step down from her current role.

Anakin Skywalker had an unusually high midi-chlorian count in Star Wars, but what did that truly say about his power as a Jedi? When Anakin Skywalker was discovered as a young boy in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon Jinn sensed his latent power and even believed Anakin was the prophesied Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the Force. It seemed that Qui-Gon’s suspicions were confirmed when he tested Anakin’s blood for microscopic life forms known as midi-chlorians, and the test revealed an unusually high M-count.

Andor's story and characters are incredibly different from regular Star Wars properties, and one subtle detail from season 2, episode 1 proves this above all else. Andor's differences from Star Wars are often attributed to its writing. Not only does this writing allow for a fantastic story that sees Andor described as the best Star Wars TV show, but it also includes a level of maturity that sets it apart from most other projects in the franchise. Even the best-ranked Star Wars movies are more family-friendly than Andor, proving just how singular the latter is.

It’s been one year since The Acolyte premiered, and despite only lasting for one season, certain aspects of the show have permanently changed Star Wars. Set at the tail end of the High Republic Era, about 200 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, The Acolyte tells a compelling story about Force-sensitive twins Osha and Mae Aniseya. The twins had been raised by a coven of witches on the planet Brendok before the coven was wiped out following an encounter with four Jedi.
