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. 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 [...]
As we continue to reflect on the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, I think there's a cool little tidbit included in the book From a Certain Point of View, which was released in 2017 as a tribute to the anniversary of A New Hope. Some of the (many) great moments in Empire come [...]
May 4th is a big day for Star Wars fans, since it marks the unofficial Star Wars Day (may the fourth be with you!). This year, it will be a big day to celebrate on Disney+. On Monday, May 4, the series finale of The Clone Wars will premiere, being moved up from its normal [...]

Apparently a recent interview that Roger Guyett, the film's visual effects supervisor, did with Cinefex revealed [...]
Star Wars Adventures recently returned for a second season, and I'll be exploring more about that in future articles. They're slowly rolling out new episodes on the Star Wars Kids Youtube channel each week, and they're pretty cool. But one in particular stood out to me so far, and it's the one about General Leia [...]
One of the most significant new characters introduced in The Rise of Skywalker was Allegiant General Pryde, a brand new officer in the First Order. The film pits Pryde against General Hux, while also making it clear that Pryde outranked Hux in the First Order hierarchy. But after Supreme Leader Kylo Ren turned back to [...]
One of the very interesting aspects of The Rise of Skywalker novelization, written by Rae Carson, was how it explained further Palpatine's return. I'll be writing about this more in-depth soon, but today I want to focus on this aspect of it: Darth Plagueis's secret to immortality was finally revealed! But first, let me ask [...]
The Rise of Skywalker novelization was recently released, and author Rae Carson did an incredible job at capturing the film in writing, while adding tons of fun details, helpful insights, and exciting answers. It's a great read, and I highly recommend it. I'll be breaking down plenty of stuff from it in the coming days, [...]
