Damon Lindelof Creating New Movie Set After ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ but Disney May Not Be Happy About Lucasfilm Management

Image via Lucasfilm We all knew that one day Disney and Lucasfilm would break the seal on Star Wars stories set after The Rise of Skywalker, but few expected them to be announced so soon. More on what’s coming to the big screen below (together with an interesting insight into what’s going on in Lucasfilm) and in other news we have some interesting details on the Star Wars: Eclipse leak that took place over the weekend. But let’s get stuck into the biggest Star Wars news in a long time: A new Star Wars movie is…

Fans Debate the Future of the Sith as They Once Again Tear Apart ‘The Rise of Skywalker’

Image via Lucasfilm/Disney Disney and Lucasfilm have been quite strict that no Star Wars stories take place later in the timeline than The Rise of Skywalker. The closest we’ve gotten are Star Wars Visions episodes “The Twins” and “The Ninth Jedi,” and a scene in The Star Wars LEGO Holiday Special that showed Finn receiving Jedi training from Rey, though all of those are non-canon. That won’t last forever. You can bet that somewhere in the Lucasfilm Story Group they have a vague plan for a sequel trilogy to the…

‘Star Wars’ Fans Wonder If Luke Skywalker Would Survive Order 66

Image via Lucasfilm Few Jedi were strong or fortunate enough to survive Order 66, which compelled all Clone troopers to open fire on their Jedi commanders and hunt them down wherever they are found. Now, having seen different iterations of the tragic incident over the past couple of years, the Star Wars fandom is debating if Luke Skywalker in his prime would’ve been able to survive the onslaught. As the son of Anakin Skywalker, the Last Jedi was a force to be reckoned with, whether in Disney’s recognized canon…

Clone Wars Gets a Pandemic-Style Tabletop Game

Screenshot: Z-Man GamesGame companies Asmodee and Z-Man Games have announced that they are going to be collaborating to create Star Wars: The Clone Wars – A Pandemic System Game. An incredibly popular, collaborative game, Pandemic is a great base system, and adding a Star Wars skin (especially when it has cool figurines like Darth Maul) seems like a perfect combination. The game combines a constantly-growing game tension with big events, really reflecting the slow-burnwartime fears that The Clone Wars show did so

Star Wars Should Embrace TV and Stop Being Films Entirely

Image: LucasfilmJust as we’re about to get a new Star Wars show in the form of Andor—the second of three shows this year, if you need reminding—the movie side of the franchise took another noticeable hit. Rogue Squadron, a film originally planned to be directed by Wonder Woman’s Patty Jenkins for a December 2023 release, has been pulled off the release schedule. Whether that was a realistic release date or not consideringJenkins reportedly had other projects on her docket, it looks like a new Star Wars movie won’t come

John Boyega praises the original version of ‘The Rise of Skywalker’

Image: Disney Plus Before Palpatine returned in the final version of The Rise of Skywalker, a very different plot was envisioned which star John Boyega seems to prefer. After potentially the most divisive blockbuster film of the 2010s in The Last Jedi, Disney was unsure what direction to go for Episode IX. The fan backlash in particular was towards the treatment of Luke Skywalker, the importance of Rey’s family, and the clean slate it went for with the mythology. In the end, Colin Trevorrow, who was initially…

‘Star Wars’ Fans Praise a ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ Scene as the Best in the Saga

Image: Lucasfilm In many respects Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker continued where The Last Jedi left off, particularly in becoming an online punching bag for a few years. But fans are now ready to give some at least love to the much-criticized finale, and in particular one scene. They single out Ben and Han’s supernatural reunion as ‘the best scene in the saga’, arguing that it neatly encapsulates every important theme the movies are trying to communicate: After his showdown with Rey Skywalker, Kylo Ren…

Fans Ponder Why the Jedi Had To Leave Shmi Skywalker in Slavery on Tatooine

Image via Lucasfilm Star Wars: The Phantom Menace lays the bedrock for the Skywalker saga, with Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s unplanned visit to Tatooine changing the course of galactic history. Most of this centers on the young Anakin Skywalker, who the pair quickly realize is highly Force-sensitive. Despite Anakin being too old to begin Jedi training they save him from slavery and take him to Coruscant, setting in motion a chain of events that leads to the fall of the Galactic Republic, Luke and Leia’s…
