As we near the tenth anniversary of The Force Awakens, Lucasfilm is beginning to return to the sequel trilogy era. A movie starring the return of Rey is in the works. The comics are finally moving beyond Return of the Jedi, exploring the post-Civil War galaxy. And books are being written about the sequel trilogy [...]
As Rey finds the Skywalker lightsaber in The Force Awakens, a series of flashback images appears, including a shot of Kylo Ren killing someone and then stepping toward the camera. People wondered what this meant about his possible relationship with Rey, but the movie didn't explain the sequence, nor did later films in the trilogy. [...]
In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment of the new special look at Andor season two, we see a glimpse of Mon Mothma walking with a dignified-looking Tarsunt - and I'm guessing he's someone we've already seen before.

In The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 6, we get a look at a bunch of droids building a hut for Luke Skywalker on a remote forest world, where he trains Grogu in the ways of the Force. Din Djarin visits the planet, where Luke, Grogu, R2-D2, and Ahsoka Tano are hanging out. Djarin asks [...]
Rose Tico once said that we’re going to win not by fighting what we hate, but by saving what we love. That wisdom is pertinent for Star Wars fans; amidst seemingly incessant criticism, I want to spend time actually liking Star Wars. I love all Star Wars, so in this series, I’ll walk through each [...]
With the Star Wars sequel trilogy now finished, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my favorite moments - and there are certainly a ton to choose from! Here's my list of the top 15 moments from the sequel trilogy - did your favorite make the list? 15. The Falcon [...]
Now that the Skywalker Saga is finished, it remains to be seen what will happen to the opening crawl we've grown accustomed to in Star Wars films.
