The Book of Boba Fett is teaching us what we should expect from this era of live-action Star Wars shows, which is important to pay attention to

There is one episode remaining in this season of The Book of Boba Fett, and the season's structure has admittedly been quite strange and, on initial appearances, a bit of a mess. But as is often the case, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. This show is about Boba Fett, and [...]

How did Luke Skywalker end up with Yoda’s lightsaber?

At the very end of The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 6, Luke Skywalker offers Grogu something very significant, yet unexpected: Yoda's lightsaber. Luke tells Grogu to choose between either the lightsaber, and with it embracing the Jedi path, or the beskar gift from Din Djarin, embracing the Mandalorian foundling path. We don't get to [...]

“Phasma” author has a pitch for a sequel story for the character – set after The Last Jedi

In a now-deleted tweet, author Delilah S. Dawson wrote that she has a pitch ready to go for a sequel to her novel Phasma - with one catch, that is: it would be set after the events of The Last Jedi. Which, of course, would mean that Phasma survived those events, after falling through the [...]

In the most recent episode of The Book of Boba Fett, "Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian," we see Din Djarin learning more about the darksaber from the Armorer.

We now know why Bo-Katan Kryze couldn’t just take the darksaber from Din Djarin in The Mandalorian

In the season two finale of The Mandalorian, Din Djarin defeated Moff Gideon in combat, winning the darksaber in the process. Unbeknownst to Mando, however, this created immediate tension between him and Bo-Katan Kryze, who wanted the saber. Djarin's only concern had been rescuing Grogu, so he offers the darksaber freely to Bo-Katan - but [...]

The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 5 wasn’t just a teaser for The Mandalorian season 3, but actually fits in very well thematically

Chapter 5 of The Book of Boba Fett was appropriately titled "Return of the Mandalorian," and it brought the fan-favorite Mandalorian Din Djarin back to center screen. So much so, in fact, that Boba Fett never appeared and was mentioned just one time... in a show titled The Book of Boba Fett. That led to [...]
