In The Rise of Skywalker, we saw Rey's parents for the first time, glimpsed only briefly in a flashback appearance.

A month ago, we got our first look at Star Wars: Visions, the latest Star Wars show that will be premiering this September on Disney+. The series combines the Star Wars franchise with anime for the first time, with nine different shorts releasing initially. This show is not considered canon, which gives the filmmakers a [...]
