Thomas Bacon — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 10:03:44 GMT

Stunning concept art from the Ahsoka Disney+ TV show gives viewers a fresh look at the Mortis god statues, Star Wars' space whales, and other tremendous designs. Ahsoka was easily the most visually impressive of all Star Wars Disney+ TV shows to date, fitting given the story traveled the pathway to Peridea in a distant galaxy. Although the finale saw Grand Admiral Thrawn return to the main Star Wars galaxy, the main heroes - Ahsoka Tano and her Padawan, Sabine Wren - were stranded there.

Lewis Glazebrook — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 09:49:39 GMT

Three of Ahsoka's main stars - Rosario Dawson, Ariana Greenblatt, and Hayden Christensen - have discussed the key Star Wars relationship between Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker. Much of Ahsoka's eight-episode story centered on Ahsoka's relationship with Anakin, specifically how the duo's tragically untimely goodbye shaped Ahsoka's relationship with Sabine Wren, her own Padawan. By the time Ahsoka's climactic ending came around, Anakin's character ended up being mightily important to the journey of the show's titular character and will likely continue to be so in upcoming Star Wars movies.

Star Wars: What Tusken Raiders Look Like Under Their Masks

Hannah Shaw-Williams — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 22:00:37 GMT

Introduced in the first Star Wars film, the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine remain mysterious to the present day, but their secrets are gradually being revealed. When George Lucas created the first Star Wars film, one thing that stood out was the depth of its world-building. The first act spent a great deal of time on Tatooine, described by Luke Skywalker as the planet farthest from the galaxy's bright center, and fleshed it out in remarkable depth. However, no Star Wars movie or TV show has shown a Tusken Raider's face, and many viewers still want to know what they look like behind their masks.

The Mandalorian Isn't The Best Star Wars TV Show, But It Will Always Be The Most Important

Molly Brizzell — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 20:00:30 GMT

The debate of which Star Wars live-action TV show is the best will always go on, but one thing's for certain: The Mandalorian will always be the franchise's most important. The Mandalorian first premiered in 2019 with the debut of the Disney+ streaming platform and became Star Wars' first live-action TV show - and it quickly also became a global phenomenon. The series has three seasons so far, with The Mandalorian season 4 on the way, and despite season 3 falling under more criticisms than its first two seasons, the series has overall remained a huge hit among viewers and critics alike.

Amazing Clone Wars Comparisons Show How Good Star Wars' Live-Action Young Ahsoka Really Is

Tara Salvati — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 19:01:27 GMT

A comparison of Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars highlights just how good young Ahsoka was in Ahsoka. Young Ahsoka Tano made her live-action debut in Ahsoka episode 5 when Anakin Skywalker used the World Between Words to take his Padawan back to the Clone Wars era of Star Wars. This was the debut of the Clone Wars in live-action and marked the first time Hayden Christensen donned Anakin's iconic The Clone Wars armor.

Star Wars Has Set Up A Thrilling Rematch In Ahsoka Season 2

Tara Salvati — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 18:00:34 GMT

Ahsoka’s season 1 finale left the majority of the main characters stranded on Peridea, meaning a thrilling rematch is likely already in the works for Ahsoka season 2. Ahsoka didn’t shy away from heavy fight sequences, including multiple lightsaber duels, which not only left audiences wanting more, but also sparked rivalries that will continue as more content following these characters releases. With so many Force and magick wielders shown in Ahsoka season 1, it seems a given that more amazing and mystic fights will take place, including Jedi and their rivals.

There's 1 Way Star Wars Can Properly Bring Back Leia In Live-Action

Tara Salvati — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 16:30:28 GMT

Ahsoka season 1 teased the return of Senator Leia Organa, but with the absence of Carrie Fisher, it’s hard to see a path to properly bring the character back in live-action. Despite this, there’s one way to bring back Leia in a way that honors Fisher’s legacy. In Ahsoka episode 7 Leia sends C-3PO in her stead, bailing General Hera Syndulla out of a court-martial after disobeying direct orders. This smart workaround by Dave Filoni prompted many to think about whether or not Lucasfilm should invest in digitally recreating characters like Leia for this era of Star Wars.

Molly Brizzell — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 15:30:28 GMT

An important piece of Star Wars history is the long-lost X-wing of Red Squadron Leader as seen in A New Hope, and now it's just been sold for $3,135,000. The miniature has been considered "long-lost" for years as one of the original four miniature models created for the infamous battle scene of the Rebel Alliance versus the Empire over the Death Star in A New Hope. This scene is not only known for its impact on the Star Wars franchise, but also on the way movies are made today, paving the way for the creations of miniatures in addition to bringing the iconic X-wing look to life. Now, it's been located after many years, and it's proven to be worth a fortune.

All 7 Lightsaber Combat Forms Explained (& Who Used Which)

Corey Larson — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 15:00:29 GMT

Star Wars' lightsaber is the traditional weapon of the Jedi and the Sith, and there are seven different lightsaber forms in canon. When Luke Skywalker first saw his father's lightsaber, he was fascinated by it. "This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight," Obi-Wan Kenobi explained to him. "Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time." This was just the beginning of Obi-Wan's lightsaber lessons as lightsaber combat is an art form; it is a symbol of Jedi traditions as well as a reflection of one's mastery of the Force that extends into Star Wars' various lightsaber types.

Obi-Wan & Anakin Failed As Master & Apprentice

Lewis Glazebrook — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 13:01:30 GMT

Two major Star Wars characters, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, failed as Master and Apprentice respectively. That said, it is worth noting that Anakin and Obi-Wan's failures are not negative aspects of the iconic Star Wars characters. In fact, it is the duo's failures and flaws that make them relatable characters, allowing them equally to become two of the franchise's most compelling protagonists - or antagonists in Anakin's case.

The original Star Wars trilogy has been analyzed in every way imaginable, revealing several hidden details that are easy to miss on first viewing. While most viewers are enthralled by the iconic characters, groundbreaking special effects, and the sense of magic and adventure, some aspects of the movies may go unnoticed.

"Since Time Immemorial": The Origin of Star Wars' Most Dangerous Force Predator Just Became Even Stranger

Kevin Erdmann — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 12:00:28 GMT

Star Wars has provided new insight into the strange origins of the galaxy's most dangerous Force predators. As seen during the early age known as the High Republic, the Jedi Order found itself in great danger thanks to the marauders known as the Nihil and their control over the powerful beasts known as the Nameless. However, it seems the Force predators are far older and more mysterious than ever imagined.

Star Wars: 10 Details That Back Up The Darth Jar Jar Theory

Ben Sherlock — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 00:00:28 GMT

There are many popular fan theories in the Star Wars universe, some far more outlandish than others. One Star Wars theory that still holds some weight among the fandom is whether the infamous Jar Jar Binks might be a Sith Lord masquerading as a complete and utter buffoon. Though it might seem far-fetched at first glance, there is amusing circumstantial evidence suggesting it might hold water.

10 Best Disney Star Wars Characters

Daniel Tinaglia — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 23:00:28 GMT

Over ten years ago, Disney acquired Lucasfilm - and here are the best Star Wars characters created since then. Disney purchased Lucasfilm on October 20, 2012, and on April 25, 2014, the studio announced that it was effectively rewriting the rules of continuity. The old Expanded Universe was officially being branded "Legends," with only George Lucas' movies and TV shows remaining as canon.

10 Biggest Missed Opportunities In The Star Wars TV Shows

Nathaniel Roark — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 22:30:28 GMT

The Star Wars TV shows serve as a rich expansion of the galaxy, but there is no denying they have had many missed opportunities. The TV format allowed Star Wars to explore every corner of the universe and introduce exceptional ideas that carry across multiple eras. However, whenever an idea fails to reach its full potential, it can be disappointing after investing so much time in a Star Wars show.

Star Wars' Limited Edition "Excalibur" Crossguard Lightsaber Is Better Than Anything Kylo Ren Ever Made

Thomas Bacon — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 21:37:20 GMT

Star Wars is officially releasing a limited edition of Stellan Gios' beautiful crossguard lightsaber, named "Excalibur" by fans, a beautiful weapon Kylo Ren could only dream of. There are many different types of lightsaber in Star Wars canon, and Kylo Ren's crossguard lightsaber is surely one of the most striking. The unusual design is actually integral to its design, because Kylo Ren cracked the kyber crystal contained within it when he "bled" it, turning it red. That means the quillons serve an essential function, channeling excess heat to the sides.

5 Differences Between George Lucas' Sequel Trilogy & Disney's (& 5 Things That Are The Same)

Clarence Snell — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 21:00:29 GMT

George Lucas created his own version of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, one that would have been very different to Disney's. In May 2011, Disney CEO Bob Iger approached George Lucas to discuss the idea of acquiring Lucasfilm. Unfortunately, as Iger recalled, Lucas overestimated the value of his company. He wanted what he called the Pixar Deal, meaning a similar sum, but he didn't have any films in development or a production pipeline. It seems likely this was when Lucas seriously began working on scripts for his own Star Wars sequel trilogy, presumably feeling they would be a valuable part of the deal.

Amazing Star Wars Art Shows Anakin Skywalker's Transformation Into Darth Vader

Alix Batte — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 20:01:25 GMT

Darth Vader may have been as Star Wars’ greatest villain, but one fan art perfectly captures his tragic metamorphosis from the once-heroic Anakin Skywalker. Darth Vader seemed at first to be more monster or machine than man, but when he is revealed to be Luke Skywalker’s father, the movies begin to focus on the complexity of his character. The subsequent prequel trilogy reveals that Anakin was the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. Instead, his fall to the dark side made way for a new age of Sith control over the galaxy.

Everything Star Wars Has Revealed About The Galaxy's Ancient History

Thomas Bacon — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 19:11:26 GMT

Star Wars is famously set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away – but what has been revealed about this galaxy’s ancient history? When George Lucas introduced viewers to the Star Wars galaxy, he deliberately gave everything a time-worn and lived-in look. Ever since, audiences have been fascinated to learn the secrets of Star Wars’ past.

Star Wars Theory Explains Exactly How Thrawn's Night Troopers Came Back To Life (Fitting Canon Rules)

Nathaniel Roark — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 18:31:28 GMT

Grand Admiral Thrawn can have his Night Troopers brought back to life through resurrection after Ahsoka, and an intriguing Star Wars theory explains how this fits within the established canon. Thrawn's legion of undead troopers at his disposal significantly raises the stakes in his coming war against the New Republic, but at first glance, it seems to conflict with how dark magic works in Star Wars. The previous TV shows depicted Nightsister witchcraft, including resurrection spells, differently than how it is portrayed in Ahsoka. This would imply the Great Mothers in Ahsoka don't fit into Star Wars canon.

This Star Wars Character Is The Unexpected Center Of The Mandalorian Movie Cast

El Kuiper — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 18:00:27 GMT

One Star Wars character is on track to become the unexpected center of Dave Filoni’s The Mandalorian movie. The corner of the Star Wars timeline colloquially known as the “Mandoverse” on Disney+ continues to grow. Its flagship show, The Mandalorian, currently has three seasons under its belt with a fourth on the way, and the recently released Ahsoka show brought back Grand Admiral Thrawn – one of the Empire’s most formidable tacticians – setting up the central conflict of The Mandalorian movie, as the New Republic will be forced to reckon with the Imperial Remnant scattered across the galaxy.

Ezra Bridger & Sabine Wren Team Up In Stunning Star Wars Cosplay

El Kuiper — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 16:01:26 GMT

Stunning Star Wars Rebels cosplay celebrates the partnership between Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren. Before the events of Ahsoka, Ezra and Sabine successfully completed many missions together in Star Wars Rebels, becoming a formidable duo in the fight against the Empire as well as close friends. As such, making their friendship a central part of Ahsoka’s narrative made sense – and despite their limited screen time together, the series did a solid job of portraying the depth of their relationship. Both characters have a bright future ahead of them in live-action Star Wars.

Star Wars Has Forgotten Its Most Important Grand Admiral Thrawn Question

Andrew Gilman — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 15:00:28 GMT

Grand Admiral Thrawn made his triumphant return to Star Wars in Ahsoka, marking the character's live-action debut. Originating in Timothy Zahn's novel Heir to the Empire, the Imperial warlord is a brilliant strategist and military tactician feared by some in the New Republic. Prior to Ahsoka, Thrawn and Ezra Bridger were taken to another galaxy by the star whales called purrgil, where they waited for a decade in exile before allies arrived on Peridea to bring them home. Thrawn's defeat in Star Wars Rebels has been undone in the process, ushering in another war for the known galaxy.

Empire Strikes Back Foreshadowed Darth Vader's Redemption In The Best Possible Way

Andrew Gilman — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 14:00:28 GMT

Darth Vader shockingly redeemed himself in Return of the Jedi, but it was The Empire Strikes Back that set up the possibility by defying Sith norms. As Yoda said, "always two there are; a master and an apprentice." Palpatine expanded on this principle of the Rule of Two, proclaiming that the master possess the power and the student is the one to crave it. The relationship between Vader and Palpatine embodied all of that and more, with both knowing the former could never truly usurp his master given the physical limitations that hindered him.

Star Wars Theory Sets Up Ezra Bridger To Break Jedi Padawan Protocols

Lewis Glazebrook — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 13:00:30 GMT

A Star Wars theory stemming from Ahsoka's ending insists that Ezra Bridger will break millennia of Jedi protocol concerning Masters and Padawans. Ahsoka's finale and ending saw Ezra Bridger returning to the core Star Wars galaxy by hiding away on Grand Admiral Thrawn's Star Destroyer. This led to him escaping by hijacking an Imperial shuttle which he used to rendezvous with the New Republic fleet.

10 Star Wars Characters Who Didn’t Appear In Ahsoka (& Why)

Molly Brizzell — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 12:01:29 GMT

Ahsoka season 1 has officially come to an end, and despite viewers' best theories, there are several Star Wars characters who didn't appear in this story. The latest Star Wars Disney+ TV show follows Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano all the way to another galaxy as she pursues Lars Mikkelsen's Grand Admiral Thrawn and Eman Esfandi's Ezra Bridger, creating a scope so massive that it becomes difficult to fit much else inside the storytelling space. Still, there are plenty of surprises included for viewers, particularly those who enjoy Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Pitch Meeting — Revisited

Grant Hermanns — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 23:03:20 GMT

As the franchise's big screen future remains in flux, the latest episode of Screen Rant's own Pitch Meeting series is looking back at its Star Wars: The Force Awakens video. The seventh installment in the Lucasfilm franchise picked up 30 years after Return of the Jedi, focusing on a new group of characters along with returning icons Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia as they fight to bring down the Galactic Empire's successor, the First Order. Scoring rave reviews from critics and grossing over $2 billion at the box office, The Force Awakens kicked off a new trilogy of movies that garnered divisive responses from critics and audiences alike, but were all box office hits.

Star Wars: Everything That Happened To Han Solo After The Original Trilogy

Alix Batte — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 22:01:26 GMT

Han Solo is one of the oldest characters in the Star Wars franchise, but his story doesn’t end after the conclusion of the original trilogy. Having just played a pivotal role in the downfall of the Empire and Darth Vader, the futures of Luke, Leia, and Han all look very bright, though Return of the Jedi doesn’t reveal much about what those might look like. The last the audience sees of Han, he’s celebrating the end of the Empire along with Luke and Leia. Offscreen, however, Han continues to have a very interesting and adventurous life after the credits stop rolling.

One Star Wars Scene Suggests That Thrawn Already Knows About Grogu

Molly Brizzell — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 21:00:30 GMT

There's one scene from Star Wars' latest Disney+ TV show, Ahsoka, that suggests Grand Admiral Thrawn already knows about Grogu. Lars Mikkelsen makes his live-action debut as Thrawn in Ahsoka and faithfully brings to life the very same intelligent terror of the Grand Admiral as seen in Star Wars Rebels. As a Chiss from the Unknown Regions, Thrawn's tactics are very different from his Imperial peers in a way that's helped him to succeed time and time again. Most notably is the way he studies his adversaries to gain a better understanding of them, making their weaknesses more apparent.

Star Wars Explains Why Yoda Believed Luke Was The Last Jedi (Despite So Many Order 66 Survivors)

Molly Brizzell — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 20:01:28 GMT

Master Yoda tells Luke Skywalker that he's the last Jedi, despite Order 66 survivors still lingering in the galaxy - and Star Wars has explained why that is. As one of the Jedi Order's oldest and wisest Jedi Masters, Yoda has come to understand the Jedi Code just as well as he understands himself. This has caused Yoda to set very high standards for all ranks of Jedi in a way that's managed to misguide him in the past, most notably during the Clone Wars. Nevertheless, he still serves as a proper and wise master for Luke to finish the training that Obi-Wan started, something that sees Yoda consider Luke to be the last remaining Jedi.

Complete Timeline Of All Star Wars TV Shows

Marcelo Leite — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 19:00:30 GMT

Keeping track of Star Wars’ TV shows' timeline can be difficult, especially because the Star Wars shows span hundreds of years and involve multiple eras. While Star Wars’ television history traces back to 1985’s Star Wars: Droids, the Disney+ platform changed how Star Wars content is produced for the small screen. The majority of the Disney+ Star Wars shows are canon, meaning that they fit in the broader Star Wars timeline along with the current films and any upcoming Star Wars movies.

Star Wars Finally Fixed a Huge Return of the Jedi Plot Hole

Thomas Bacon — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 18:36:28 GMT

Star Wars may have quietly fixed a major Princess Leia plot hole in Return of the Jedi. George Lucas gives the impression that he had the full story planned out from the start, but there's plenty of evidence this isn't the case. Chief among them is the apparent plot hole created in Return of the Jedi, implying Luke and Leia's mother lived for several years after Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side. Leia even remembers, claiming her mother "died when I was very young."

10 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 1

Nathaniel Roark — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 18:30:30 GMT

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is one of the most beloved entries in the Star Wars franchise, but some harsh realities become clear while re-watching season 1. Many TV shows take a while to reach their full potential, and The Clone Wars had many problems in its first season that held the series back from its full potential. That's not to say The Clone Wars season 1 is terrible, as it has some of the show's best episodes, but it also contains some of the worst episodes in the Star Wars franchise.

Everybody Missed The First Time Sabine REALLY Used The Force In Ahsoka

Thomas Bacon — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 18:01:27 GMT

Sabine Wren's first use of the Force in Ahsoka was so subtle more viewers missed it. Played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo in live-action, the Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren had never really demonstrated any ability to use the Force in her previous animated Star Wars appearances. That left many viewers taken aback when she was revealed to be Ahsoka Tano's Jedi Padawan, although it didn't take long for the ancient droid Huyang to clarify she had less aptitude for the Force than any Padawan he'd seen. Given Huyang has been serving the Jedi for 25,000 years, that's a pretty remarkable statement.

Both series have been massive successes, but for completely different reasons.

Star Wars: The High Republic Phase III Must Answer The Biggest Question About Yoda

El Kuiper — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 16:00:29 GMT

Star Wars: The High Republic Phase III can explain why Yoda came to fear the dark side. The High Republic era takes place approximately 200 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. During this period, Yoda is 700 years old, a Jedi Grand Master, and a prominent member of the Jedi Council. High Republic-era Yoda is every bit as strong and wise as audiences have come to expect from his previous appearances in the prequel trilogy, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the original Star Wars trilogy, but there’s one hugely important difference.

Did Pedro Pascal Save One Of The Mandalorian Season 2's Best Scenes?

Molly Brizzell — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 15:00:30 GMT

There was one scene in The Mandalorian season 2 where Din Djarin's face was going to be revealed, but actor Pedro Pascal himself stopped it from happening. One of the most intriguing and iconic things about Din's character since his debut has been his strict helmet rule, a strong part of his creed that other Mandalorians in Star Wars history have never followed. Bo-Katan Kryze, Sabine Wren, and other notable Mandalorians were always comfortable in removing their helmets, which has made Mando's strict rule become an even more interesting thread of his story.

Beginning with The Mandalorian season 1 in 2019, Star Wars began fleshing out an area of the franchise's timeline that was almost entirely unexplored beforehand. In focusing on the New Republic era set between Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the franchise began delving into new stories including The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka.

But could there be more Star Wars species viewers are already familiar with that are not originally from the main galaxy?

Every Canon Lightsaber Color In Star Wars (And Their Meaning)

Adrienne Tyler — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 00:00:29 GMT

While the most common lightsaber colors in Star Wars are blue, red, and green, the Star Wars universe has a variety of colors for these weapons across film, TV, video games, comics, and novels. Like most objects from George Lucas' galaxy far, far away, the different colors of lightsabers are imbued with a deep meaning in Star Wars canon. There are dozens of different Star Wars lightsaber types beyond the standard "laser sword" made popular in 1977's Star Wars from Darth Maul's dual-lightsaber to the Inquisitors' spinning blades in Obi-Wan Kenobi. A lightsaber's color and design matter as Star Wars canon has repeatedly made evident.

Ahsoka Never Explained Why Baylan Skoll Had An Orange Lightsaber

Nathaniel Roark — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 22:50:28 GMT

While the Ahsoka season finale left many unanswered questions for future Star Wars projects, the most glaring unexplained mystery is why Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati had orange lightsabers. Viewers immediately latched on to the visually striking blades when the first Ahsoka trailer dropped online, so fans were eager to learn what an orange lightsaber means in the Star Wars universe. Unfortunately, Ahsoka season 1 failed to explain the significance of an orange blade, and it's unclear when Star Wars will provide an answer.

Ahsoka season 1 is now streaming in its entirety on Disney+, and one of the things the show will be remembered for is its expert use of lightsabers—and the sheer number of them. Most of the main characters wielded a lightsaber of some kind during Ahsoka, but it was never overwhelming or unnatural. In a franchise that has recently shied away from the mysticism of the Jedi and Force-wielding, that side of Star Wars was fully embraced by Ahsoka’s writer and creator Dave Filoni.

The latest Star Wars Disney+ TV show sees Christensen step into the role of Anakin again for only the second time since the prequel Star Wars trilogy, following his appearance alongside Ewan McGregor in Obi-Wan Kenobi. This time, he had a chance to not only portray Anakin, but to bring scenes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars to life. As the first live-action appearance of Anakin alongside his former Padawan Ahsoka, this moment already promised to be one Star Wars audiences would never forget - and Christensen feels the same way about it.

Lucasfilm's Dave Filoni On Whether The Mandalorian's Darksaber Is More Powerful Than A Lightsaber

Molly Brizzell — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 18:00:26 GMT

Dave Filoni, a Lucasfilm creative and executive, discusses the difference between the Darksaber as seen in The Mandalorian versus the classic Star Wars lightsabers. First introduced in the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, the Darksaber was created by Mandalorian Jedi Tarre Vizsla, and it has since been passed down in Mandalorian history to call warriors to the Mandalorian throne. The blade was brought to live-action in The Mandalorian season 1 finale and has since taken on an important role in The Mandalorian season 3. Seeing as the Darksaber has many cultural ideas tied to it, such as its combat ritual, many viewers have wondered how its power differs from that of a Jedi's lightsaber - and Filoni himself has taken the chance to speak to this.

Molly Brizzell — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 13:00:31 GMT

Ahsoka Tano has quickly become one of Star Wars' most recurring characters, but she still has many stories that haven't yet been told. As the former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka is one of the most important figures in the galaxy, especially now that she has taken on a lead role in pursuing Grand Admiral Thrawn in the New Republic Era. Between animation, novels, and live-action, Ahsoka is perhaps Star Wars' most popular character in transmedia, and her lists of stories is only going to continue to grow as the future of Star Wars flourishes.

Star Wars: Why The Rule Of Two Was The Sith's Greatest Weakness

Corey Larson — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 12:01:27 GMT

In Star Wars, Palpatine represents the culmination of the Sith and the Rule of Two. Over one thousand years before the Skywalker saga, Darth Bane originally invented the Rule of Two in order to strengthen the Sith. The Rule effectively stopped the Sith from causing their own extinction. By limiting the existence of Sith to two at any given time, Bane eradicated the problem of multiple Sith clamoring over each other for power. Instead, as Yoda put it in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, “Always two, there are. No more. No Less.” Nevertheless, Bane’s Rule had an innate weakness.

Ahsoka Finale Performed Better Than Andor, But 42% Worse Than The Mandalorian

Molly Brizzell — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 19:31:20 GMT

The viewership numbers for Star Wars finales have been revealed, and Ahsoka has found itself between Andor season 1 and The Mandalorian season 3. The latest Star Wars Disney+ TV show has resonated well with viewers, especially with an appearance from Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker and the live-action debut of Lars Mikkelsen's Grand Admiral Thrawn. As an honorary Star Wars Rebels season 5, this series appeals to avid Star Wars viewers, but not as well to general and casual audiences. Despite its ups and downs, Ahsoka has ultimately done well among critics, and now the viewership numbers of its finale reveal even more about its performance.

Clarence Snell — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 19:00:52 GMT

The sad death of Ray Stevenson, who played Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka, likely means he has to be recast. There's intense debate over whether Baylan Skoll will be recast for Ahsoka season 2, given the tragic passing of Ray Stevenson on May 21, 2023. Stevenson's performance was tremendous, one of Ahsoka's highlights, but Baylan's performance is sadly unfinished.

Molly Brizzell — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 17:26:46 GMT

The actress who brought young Ahsoka Tano to life in Ahsoka, Ariana Greenblatt, has revealed how she prepared to take on her Star Wars role. The flashbacks to the Clone Wars in Ahsoka episode 5 are among the best moments of the entire series, if not the best. Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka spends time in the World Between Worlds that sees not only the return of Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker, but also the live-action debuts of Padawan Ahsoka and even Temuera Morrison's Captain Rex. As the actress who brought this younger Ahsoka to life, Greenblatt had a lot to live up to, and she was able to do so flawlessly thanks to how she chose to prepare.

Ahsoka Repeated One Of Last Jedi's Most Controversial Plots - & Made It Work

David Miller — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 12:00:25 GMT

A familiar plot point from Star Wars: The Last Jedi is handled far more competently in Ahsoka. The Last Jedi is easily the most divisive entry in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, with many viewers taking issue with the film’s characterization of returning original trilogy-era characters, its understanding (or lack thereof) of the Force and various Force-using factions, and repeated imitations of scenes and arcs from previous Star Wars films (a common criticism of its predecessor as well). One particular subplot involving Resistance pilot Poe Dameron has a counterpart in Ahsoka, with the latter handling a comparable story far better.

Ahsoka Concept Art Reveals Anakin Skywalker, Thrawn’s Return & More

Molly Brizzell — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 20:01:25 GMT

Star Wars has officially shared a look at the concept that inspired scenes from the Ahsoka series, revealing just how faithful they remained in bringing the story to life. The adventure Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano takes in Ahsoka is so massive that it quite literally is out of this galaxy, including incredible surprise moments such as the return of Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker and the live-action debuts of young Ahsoka, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Ezra Bridger, and more. These moments have greatly influenced the future of the Star Wars galaxy, and now, the concept art reveals exactly how they were inspired to come to life.

Every Live-Action Star Wars Character Who Debuted In Animation

David Miller — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 19:30:30 GMT

The Star Wars franchise is best known for its live-action movies and TV shows, but many characters debuted in animation. As one of pop culture’s most famous and influential science-fantasy franchises, it’s no surprise that Star Wars lends itself well to other visual mediums like comics, video games, and animation. Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels have proved especially popular, with their storylines forming the foundation for the current era of live-action Star Wars TV shows. Watching characters develop across storylines spanning different mediums makes the Star Wars franchise unique and highly rewarding.

Star Wars Video Shows The Perfect Way To Fix A New Hope's Jabba The Hutt Scene

Alix Batte — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 19:00:30 GMT

Jabba the Hutt’s appearance has changed a lot since the first time he appeared in A New Hope's script, but one fan-made video proves that George Lucas missed the best way to introduce him. Lucas always had plans for Jabba to be the unsettling alien he is today, but the CGI of 1977 wasn’t up to the task, so a human actor stood in for the time being. As the movies progressed along with the digital effects, there were several versions of Star Wars that tried to match Lucas’ original vision for Jabba, but there's one trick the movie hasn't used.

"It's Such An Honor": Hayden Christensen Celebrates His Anakin Skywalker & Darth Vader Return In Ahsoka

Andrew Gilman — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 18:59:25 GMT

Hayden Christensen spoke highly of the opportunity to portray both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader again in Ahsoka. Anakin appeared to Ahsoka in the World Between Worlds, playing a massive role in "Part Five: Shadow Warrior" as he taught his apprentice one final lesson. This involved flipping a switch and presenting Anakin's dark side as Vader to Ahsoka, which included brief flashes of the Sith Lord in his iconic suit.

David Miller — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 18:01:28 GMT

A major character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars made his live-action debut in Ahsoka, but his role should have been much bigger. Captain Rex was the most prominent clone trooper character in The Clone Wars, starring in numerous story arcs and becoming one of the show’s most well-developed characters. Rex, along with Ahsoka herself, also had prominent roles in Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, further developing their friendship

How Knights of the Old Republic Defined The Sith & Their Rules Better Even Than George Lucas

Lewis Glazebrook — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 17:01:26 GMT

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic helped to define the Sith in Star Wars better than anything conceived by George Lucas himself. As is commonly known pertaining to the development of the Star Wars saga, Lucas did not necessarily have everything planned out from beginning to end. This included individual elements that are now commonplace in the Star Wars galaxy such as the Sith themselves. The word Sith is not mentioned in the theatrical cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy with Lucas only conceiving of their history upon writing Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

Ahsoka Repeated The Book Of Boba Fett's Most Controversial Decision - But This Time Everybody Loved It

Molly Brizzell — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 16:00:27 GMT

The Ahsoka series has taken the biggest failure of The Book of Boba Fett and mastered it, proving that Star Wars has learned from its previous mistake. The latest Star Wars Disney+ TV show was always meant to go beyond its titular character, as the search Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano is undertaking for Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelson) and Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi) is a story thread pulled directly from the animated Star Wars Rebels series. The promotional references to Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker also established early on that the story of Ahsoka would be weaving in characters and storylines from Star Wars: The Clone Wars as well.

Obi-Wan's Most Memorable Quote Shows He Forgot What It Means To Be A Jedi

El Kuiper — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:00:29 GMT

One of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s most memorable quotes from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones proves that he had forgotten what it meant to be a Jedi. The Jedi’s involvement in the Clone Wars is rightly believed to have been a catalyst for the downfall of the Jedi Order. They allowed themselves to become tied up in an unwinnable conflict, forced to fight rather than protect, believing that their connection with the Force and their sense of duty would prevail. In the end, their hubris and inability to see the oncoming darkness would prove to be fatal for thousands of Jedi, but some had already fallen victim to this mentality before the Clone Wars ever even started.

Baylan Skoll & Shin Hati Stand Ready For Battle In Stunning Star Wars Art

El Kuiper — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 14:00:27 GMT

An impressive piece of Star Wars fan art depicts the Ahsoka show’s Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati as battle-hardened warriors. Ahsoka has come to an end, but there are still plenty of mysteries left to unravel, including the history between the late Ray Stevenson’s Baylan Skoll and Ivanna Sakhno’s Shin Hati. Though Ahsoka made it clear these characters admired one another and worked well together, the audience never gained any insight into how they met or what their relationship might look like in the future now that they’ve gone their separate ways.

All 21 Star Wars Grand Admirals (In Canon & Legends)

David Miller — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 13:00:30 GMT

Grand Admiral Thrawn has become one of the Star Wars franchise’s most memorable villains after the events of the original trilogy, but the canon and Legends continuities include a plethora of other Grand Admirals. In its original Legends incarnation, the rank of Grand Admiral was, officially, the highest rank within the Imperial Navy, though in practice, Grand Admirals were one of the highest ranks within the Empire. Legends-era Grand Admirals outranked Grand Moffs, but were outranked by the Grand Vizier (Sate Pestage), the Supreme Commander and Executor (both ranks held by Darth Vader), and the Emperor himself.

Star Wars Theory Reveals Why The Sith's Jedi Purges Always Failed

Molly Brizzell — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 12:00:28 GMT

The Jedi and the Sith have been at odds with each other constantly in Star Wars, and though the Sith have tried to wipe out the Jedi, they never succeed. With every new piece of Star Wars storytelling, it seems as if another survivor of Order 66 is uncovered, further proving just how resilient the Jedi are - and how the Sith can never quite seem to get rid of their ancient enemies. With Darth Vader sending out Imperial Inquisitors to track the Jedi down across the galaxy, how were the Jedi never wiped out?

Kevin Erdmann — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 22:35:28 GMT

A new Star Wars theory sets up the introduction of another galaxy in the near future with the franchise fully embracing intergalactic travel. As seen in Ahsoka, travel between galaxies was introduced with the world of Peridea, the world in which Grand Admiral Thrawn and Jedi Ezra Bridger were exiled for nearly a decade. However, Star Wars could be going even further with Skeleton Crew, the next Star Wars show which is set to star actor Jude Law as a primary protagonist during the New Republic era.

Kevin Erdmann — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 20:31:16 GMT

As seen in the credits of the new show, the names of several different worlds can be translated from ancient Star Wars text, confirmed to be part of the migration routes belonging to the intergalactic star whales known as purrgil. This signifies their key importance in the ancient past and likely the near future.

Why The Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader Rematch Looked So Disappointing Explained As Filmmaker Looks Back On Unexpected Challenge

Nathaniel Roark — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 12:05:26 GMT

Obi-Wan Kenobi promised the re-match of the century between Darth Vader and his former master, but their last battle proved disappointing, and Star Wars has finally explained why. Although most of the lightsaber choreography was superb, the lighting undermined the fight, which was either visually unpleasant or made details hard to see. The first lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Vader earlier in the season faced similar criticism, and the show had many more moments where the lighting needed to be improved. However, it turns out that the filmmaking technology used for most of the Disney+ Star Wars shows was responsible.

Tara Salvati — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 19:31:27 GMT

Ahsoka season 1 introduced audiences to a new galaxy and brought back fan-favorite characters, but it also set a lightsaber record for Star Wars television shows. Between present-day combat and flashback sequences in the World Between Worlds, lightsabers of all kind were a prominent aspect of the samurai-inspired series. While Ahsoka season 2 will surely continue this trend, it will have to usher in more lightsaber wielders to compete with Star Wars projects on the horizon.

The Ahsoka series has long since been insisting that Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano is not a Jedi, yet the Star Wars Disney+ TV show has tried to prove otherwise. Ahsoka has long since been one of Star Wars' most interesting and beloved characters, especially following her departure from the Jedi Order. She's taken after her master, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), in many ways, but has also created her own path in the galaxy. One thing that she's always insisted is that she's not a Jedi, regardless of her lightsabers and ability to wield the Force.

Molly Brizzell — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 15:10:28 GMT

An iconic Star Wars statue of Yoda at Lucasfilm's Singapore building has been replaced by a statue of The Mandalorian's Grogu. It's been almost four years since "Baby Yoda" took the galaxy by storm, quickly becoming a hero, a meme, and an adorable icon all at once. Ever since, Grogu's story has blossomed beautifully in Star Wars, taking him from being a bounty of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) to Mando's adopted son and Mandalorian apprentice. He has certainly taken a much different path than the classic Jedi Master Yoda, and now, that's been taken a step further.
