Is Harrison Ford Really Done With Star Wars: Episode VIII?
Never say never! It wasn't exactly a big secret that Harrison Ford wanted his wisecracking smuggler, Han Solo, to be killed off by George Lucas in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. It was a 32 year wait, but Ford finally got his wish when Han Solo bit the dust at the hands of his own son in last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But were we wrong to assume we had seen the last of the galaxy's Nerf herder?

Is 'Star Wars: Rogue One' Bringing Us A Family Rey-union?
There is something nostalgic about going back to the good ol' days of Death Stars, Grand Moff Tarkin and a time before the planet of Alderaan was a pile of space dust. Well if that is your bag, then saddle up for December's Star Wars: Rogue One. Oscar-winner Felicity jones leads a team of rebels who attempt to take on (and take down) the iconic Death Star. In the vein of last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 'here come the girls', so just who is Jyn Erso and why does she look so familiar? Could this be the fabled Rey's mother?

The 3 Reasons Why 'Star Wars: A New Hope' Is The Greatest Film In The 'Star Wars' Franchise
If you're new to this whole #StarWars thing, then I feel sorry for you, because the entire Star Wars universe has been one of the most influential franchises to my upbringing as a child of the science fiction genre. Racing into the stars was something that I wished I could do growing up; being an astronaut would have been the most amazing experience if it weren't for my fear of heights and possibly exploding from a spark in the rocket fuel strapped to my seat.

Exploring The New 'Star Wars' Canon: How Does It Compare To The Old Expanded Universe?

Star Wars Rebels: Has Kotor 2 Revealed the Identity of Ezra's Mystery Sith?
The recent finale of Star Wars Rebels had everything. Crazy former Sith? Check. Blinded master? Check. Temples and an epic duel between Ahsoka and Darth Vader? Triple check. But a dominant theme throughout the episode was the Sith holocron, an ancient artifact used to keep the knowledge and sometimes even the spirits of Sith. At the very end of the episode, Ezra unlocks the holocron and goes all Sith evil eyes on us, but we never get to know whose holocron it is. But I believe that Knights of the Old Republic 2 the Sith Lords unveiled the true identity of the mystery Sith long ago. Here is my evidence for this fan theory and be advised, at present it's pure conjecture.

5 Theories on Who Snoke Is and Where He Came From
Hello Star Wars fans. With the end of the cinema screening of the Rogue One movie, many fans are now looking towards the The Last Jedi and as the release date draws ever so near, one question continues to plague everyone's minds and that is "Who is Snoke?" Theories have ranged from Darth Plagueis to the Sith Emperor Vitiate but today let's discuss the most prominent five on the Internet. As the theory that he is a new character is not something that can be discussed further due to it being self-explanatory, it won't come up. I'm also not discussing the Mace Windu one because it has been clarified to be nonsense. But yes, there are high indications of the new character thing from the official production people so take all this with a grain of salt...

Is Season 3 the Beginning of Sith Ezra?
So as you all know, roughly 8 hours ago, give or take, a new video was released with a 3 min clip from Star Wars Rebels Season 3. Now in that clip, the lead character Ezra Bridger, has some very relevant changes. He's more confident, his hair is pulled back making him look older and sleeker and he has a shiny, new green lightsaber. But most of all, Ezra is confident and using the force like a seasoned Jedi.
