After The Force Awakens, one of the primary questions that Star Wars fans had was this: who is Supreme Leader Snoke? People had all sorts of theories, from the idea that he was Darth Plagueis to the idea that he was Palpatine reincarnate to other more reasonable hypotheses. I put together my own theory of [...]
The main Star Wars comic line is currently telling the stories of what happened to our heroes in-between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. One of the major moments came in the "Hope Dies" arc of the series, released in 2018, as the Empire traced the Rebellion to the Mako-Ta Space Docks. The [...]

In early December, several new Galaxy of Adventures shorts were released on the Star Wars Kids Youtube channel. I watched them at the time, but for whatever reason I didn't get around to writing about them until now. But here's the reality: these shorts are absolutely amazing. Seriously, they're great. If you haven't seen them [...]
Recently, I came across an article from Mike Ryan at Uproxx asking the question of whether Han Solo was actually a "captain" in the Rebellion in The Empire Strikes Back or whether he was simply referred to "captain" because he was captain of the Millennium Falcon. I want to be clear here that Ryan acknowledges [...]
It can now officially be said that Star Wars: Episode IX comes out this year! So as we continue to approach the film, I'll be writing a bit about some things I'd love to see in it. This time, I want to look at what I hope to see from Luke Skywalker, inspired by the [...]
