In August, a user on Twitter found evidence on the Star Wars website that Star Wars: Resistance will be set six months before The Force Awakens. And while Lucasfilm creative executive Matt Martin didn't exactly confirm that, he did confirm the timeline of the show relative to other material. https://twitter.com/missingwords/status/1046825649371897857 The translation of that is [...]
The final issue of the Star Wars: The Last Jedi Adaptation was released this month, and it wrapped up a terrific six issue comic adaptation of the film, written by Gary Whitta and illustrated by Michael Walsh. Many of the 'new' elements of the book focused on the character of Luke Skywalker, which was a good [...]
One of the really cool things about The Last Jedi is the way it grows, expands, and challenges our knowledge of the Force more than many of the previous installments of the franchise. So its no surprise that writer and director Rian Johnson explored some other material dealing strongly with the Force while he was [...]
Star Wars: Episode IX began filming this past week, and the excitement just continues to build for the sequel trilogy's conclusion. The film reunites many prominent stars from the sequel era of Star Wars, as well as some notable figures from the original trilogy, but sadly the iconic Carrie Fisher will not be a part [...]

The only time in The Last Jedi that Luke Skywalker uses his green lightsaber is in a flashback. When at the end of the movie he appears on Crait as a Force projection, Luke is using the iconic blue Skywalker lightsaber - which, of course, had previously been destroyed in the film, another indication that [...]
Though Luke Skywalker appeared in The Force Awakens for just a brief, non-speaking cameo appearance at the end, it would not be incorrect to assert that he is one of the most prominent figures throughout the film. The opening crawl makes this very clear, with the very first words we read to start the sequel [...]
It is no secret that I think The Last Jedi handled Luke Skywalker's character and storyline brilliantly (read this or this or this), but the film's comic adaptation adds a new detail to Luke's story that is so beautiful that I wish it had been included in the movie. In the movie, Luke learns of [...]
