When The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980, it contained the biggest twist in all of film history: that Luke Skywalker's father was actually Darth Vader. So when it came time for the sequel three years later, Return of the Jedi faced an impossible task of matching it. And while no one would claim [...]
The discourse over Rey's parents in the Star Wars sequel trilogy has been a near-constant talking point online in the Star Wars fandom since The Force Awakens released in 2015, and it only escalated with the answers revealed in The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.

The standalone movies haven't had them, and I'm not sure what will happen with future movies. But either way, a staple of the Star Wars saga films has [...]
With the Skywalker Saga and The Clone Wars both having recently wrapped up, it feels in many ways like the first chapter of the Disney Star Wars era has concluded. And while there's a cynical group of fans who will ridicule the era, it has been the golden era of Star Wars, with an incredibly [...]
