Star Wars Visions offered us a different look at all parts of the galaxy, but the next anthology series is going a different route by narrowing its focus to one specific group of people. That’s right, we’re going back to the Jedi.Tales of the Jedi was revealed officially at Star Wars Celebration on Saturday, which will be a new…

Image: LucasfilmFew Star Wars characters have had quite the evolution like Ahsoka Tano. Famously debuting as Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the character slowly came into her own over the course of the show’s eventual seven-season run, serving as its ostensible protagonist.

Now played by Rosario Dawson,…

Whether or not that marketing tactic works and how often it should be used is another discussion for another time,…

Image: Respawn/EA/Lucasfilm GamesIt feels like so long ago, but it’s only been three years since Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order arrived to near critical acclaim and even bigger sales. At the time, no one knew what to expect from Titanfall developer Respawn’s first foray into the Star Wars universe, but the single-player outing for Order 66 survivor Cal Kestis (Cameron Monaghan) ended up being a big hit, and ended on the promise of more adventures after he and his allies managed to successfully escape the clutches of Darth…
