Disney+ 'Star Wars' Series 'The Mandalorian' Offers a New Look at A Galaxy Far, Far Away
After the first images of The Mandalorian Disney+ series were unveiled at the Star Wars Celebration, fans everywhere have been patiently waiting for the first trailer to arrive. And now that moment has finally come courtesy of the D23 fan expo. Over the past four decades, the Star Wars franchise has been a force to be reckoned with in the film industry, and has changed the way we look at movies forever. From the original trilogy to the prequels, to the modern Star Wars films, these epic space operas have solidified a legacy and fanbase that can be best described as the stuff of legends. And while they have had success with animated shows like The Clone Wars, Rebels and Resistance, their endeavors in live-action on the small screen are non-existent. That's right, one of the most dominant franchises in the galaxy has never attempted to enter the scripted TV world with all the live-action trimmings. Well, all of that is about to change, because this first teaser for The Mandalorian means that Star Wars is finally ready to make the leap into live-action TV.

The Vegaa Star Saga Pt. III
"With Maul taken care of, the oppression of the Sith was lifted for the time being, allowing a new era of Force-sensitive children to carry on the legacy of the Jedi." Focusing on the great wave of force surrounding him, Obi-Wan Kenobi bent reality to his will and transformed through time and space, transporting himself into what became known as the Force speed to the Jedi. Obi-Wan had to use the ability to travel through the Force speed itself for the first time to warn the remaining Jedi Order of the Sith's defeat while using this technique to arrive in the Jedi home-world of Coruscant faster. Obi-Wan continued his journey into the unknown, and it appeared to him that he had traveled through the universe's hyper-speed of time. Obi-Wan was startled by a flash of thunder and lightning that erupted all around the Force speed.

Should Marvel Adapt 'The Empire Strikes Back' Again?. Top Story - July 2019.
Since 2015, Marvel has been publishing an ongoing comic series simply titled Star Wars. These issues have essentially been the adventures of Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Artoo, and Threepio, filling in the gap between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. For a while, readers have been wanting this series to go beyond this three-year period. Now, Greg Pak is taking the reigns of the series, starting with Star Wars #68. This will kick-start the Rebels and Rogues arc, which is set just before The Empire Strikes Back. It seems that readers are finally getting their wish. But if this series is to go beyond Empire, there remains a question: Should Marvel adapt The Empire Strikes Back again?

The Beauty in the Bad: A Love Letter to Everything That Is Wrong with 'The Phantom Menace'
A wise man once said that your focus determines your reality. And well, to me, it actually rings the most true in regards to the very movie it came from in form of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Simply put, I've gone from loving it unconditionally as a kid to being more than a fair bit conflicted with it during the emergence of in depth YouTube reviews, to eventually making peace with it it's flaws and loving it for it's amazing world-building, technical prowess, and some truly memorable scenes. However, in recent years, I've also come around on many of its flaws.

Is Nostalgia Killing 'Star Wars'?
Nostalgia. What does it really mean? Why is it important? Why does it hold so much power over us? It is difficult to say. The past is the past, yet it affects our future in more ways than we realize at times, especially in the entertainment industry.

The Final Word, Maybe. How 'Star Wars: Episode 9' Can Work and Tie Together the Entire Saga
So you detested The Last Jedi, and you signed the petition to have that ill-fated episode stricken from canon. The effort will go nowhere, and though I’m one of those fans who abjectly loved the film, I’d of course have to admit it left many of us in a teeth-gnashing uproar.
