In the wake of Lucasfilm firing Gina Carano from The Mandalorian, I wrote about the two options that lie before them with Cara Dune: either recast her, or write her out of the show. It turns out that there's still a lack of clarity over that, even among Hollywood "insiders." Recently The Hollywood Reporter ran [...]
A month before The Last Jedi hit theaters, Lucasfilm announced that director Rian Johnson would be creating a brand new Star Wars trilogy. The announcement came after Johnson reportedly declined an offer to direct Episode IX, and instead the studio gave him a brand new trilogy of films. In a statement at the time, Lucasfilm [...]
Boba Fett has made a massive resurgence recently, being brought into the second season of The Mandalorian, and then starring in the upcoming series The Book of Boba Fett. All of this is set several years after Return of the Jedi, but it was announced today that we'll be getting a major story about the [...]
It has become very clear in all of the High Republic material so far that the Nihil pose a serious threat to the Republic. The marauders were involved in the Great Disaster and a number of subsequent and related encounters. The Republic doesn't know a whole lot about them, but they know enough to recognize [...]
In the latest novel from the High Republic era, set 200 years before The Phantom Menace, the heroes arrive at a previously abandoned space station in the wake of the Great Disaster.

Yesterday, the news broke that Lucasfilm had fired Gina Carano after yet another controversial social media post, saying that there are no plans for her to appear in The Mandalorian or any show moving forward. The most important thing was not what happens in the Star Wars universe but what happened in our universe, and [...]
Earlier today, it was revealed that Lucasfilm has fired Gina Carano, known for playing Cara Dune in The Mandalorian. The move comes in the wake of yet another controversial post on social media by Carano. A Lucasfilm spokesperson released a statement saying, "Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans [...]
There's a very simple axiom that may as well be started amongst Star Wars fans: if Claudia Gray writes it, it's going to be great. Gray's first four Star Wars novels have all been fantastic and are, in my opinion, each among my very favorite books from the new canon: Lost Stars, Bloodline, Leia: Princess [...]
Over two years ago, I wrote an article about the 25 characters I'd most like to see added to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. In the time since then, 12 of them have been added, including six of the top seven (but for whatever dumb reason, not number two... read on to find out who). [...]
