A while ago, Pablo Hidalgo made some headlines for a (now deleted) tweet about one of the proposals for Coruscant in The Force Awakens - namely, that it would be destroyed.

There are a great many things that Star Wars is known for. But one that people don't often think about is the fantastic documentaries that have accompanied the saga. In fact, a couple of these documentaries, which look at the making-of certain films, are widely considered gold standards not just amongst Star Wars but amongst [...]
Because we apparently don't have anything better to talk about, there has been much discussion again recently about plans and the Star Wars sequel trilogy. So... I guess I'll share some of my thoughts about it. The conversation was brought up again recently thanks to an interview that Collider did with J.J. Abrams, in which [...]
Earlier in September, Daisy Ridley was interviewed by Josh Gad on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, talking about what she's been up to but also talking a bit about Star Wars.

I am utterly fascinated by the making of Star Wars films [...]
Dave Filoni is perhaps the most well-versed and well-learned pupil of Star Wars at Lucasfilm (a company filled with those kind of people), but while his talents have flourished in animated projects, he didn't have experience on the live action side of things. So he went to Lucasfilm President Kathy Kennedy, herself one of the [...]
****This article contains major spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker**** The Rise of Skywalker brought back Emperor Palpatine from the dead, and here's how they did it: in the opening crawl. It was nothing more elaborate than that, and we didn't really get any further explanation in the film, but the opening crawl [...]
Star Wars Episode IX, The Rise of Skywalker, officially released on Friday, with Thursday previews the day before! I have seen it several times already, and wanted to wait to write this review until after I had gotten multiple viewings in. This post will include only the faintest of spoilers, and nothing that you wouldn't [...]
Throughout the sequel trilogy, Rey has been wondering who she is and how she fits in to this story, waiting for her parents to return. In The Last Jedi, however, it was revealed that Rey's parents were nobodies - a fact important to remember, since Rey herself was the one who admitted this. This was [...]
