The Clone Wars, that it was developing a new show, based upon characters from The Clone Wars, I was initially skeptical. I knew that skepticism was not well placed, as I was initially skeptical about Rebels, before getting sucked into the show’s amazing and deep storyline. Additionally, the new show, The Bad Batch, was going to be produced by the same genius who brought us The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Mandalorian, Dave Filoni. Filoni’s time at Lucasfilm started more than a decade...

Fans caught a glimpse of the Bad Batch — the squad’s colloquial name among the more regimented clone battalions — much earlier, executive producer and head writer Jennifer Corbett told Rotten Tomatoes recently. “[Going to series] was more in response to a combination of things because fans got to see the original story reel of the Bad Batch back in 2015 at Star Wars Celebration and there was a great reception [to it],” she explained. Fans’ enthusiastic response led to featuring C...

Star Wars movies, were going deep on the future that Lucasfilm is shaping. (Photo by © Lucasfilm Ltd, Twentieth Century Fox) The arrival of Star Wars’s growing presence on Disney+. With its offerings on the streamer previously confined to The Mandalorian and the extant feature films and animated series, Lucasfilm stunned fans and investors last December with an ambitious plan to produce as many as 10 television series for Disney+ in the next decade. In addition to its Disney+ roster, the c...

Star Wars Fans Not Happy About The Mandalorian And Sequel Trilogy Being Snubbed On New Poster The Star Wars fanbase has become an increasingly prickly bunch over the past few years, which is to be expected when the last three feature films haven’t really been up to the franchise’s usual standards for a number of reasons. Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi split opinion straight down the middle, and there are evidently a lot of people that still haven’t been able to reconcile their differenc...

New Andor Set Photos Reveal The Return Of A Classic Spaceship Andor is the dark horse in Lucasfilm’s Disney+ lineup. Rogue One is now five years old and while Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor was liked at the time, I’ve never heard much demand to see his further adventures. That might actually be to the show’s benefit, though, as I doubt they’d have ordered it unless they were pitched an absolutely killer premise. Anyway, after a long spell in pre-production, Andor has finally gone befor...

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Abrams Cut Reportedly Exists, Is Close To 4 Hours Shortly after Episode IX was one of the most hotly-anticipated blockbusters of the modern era, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that it didn’t quite manage to live up to those lofty expectations, but there was never any indication that the filmmaker’s vision was compromised in any way. The Force Awakens, so it’s hardly as if he’d agree to replace Colin Trevorrow at the helm of the Skywalker Saga’s...

Star Wars fans have always wanted to know more about Kylo Ren’s backstory, but unfortunately, the Sequel Trilogy itself didn’t provide all that much insight into his life prior to encountering Rey, apart from those flashbacks to his days at the Jedi Academy in The Last Jedi, that is. Fortunately, though, the tie-in books and comics have been able to fill in some blanks, like the all-important moment he first discovered he was related to Darth Vader. Readers of 2016 novel  Bloodline by ...

Jon Favreau Rumored To Be Creating New Skywalker Character For Star Wars Reboot Along with co-showrunner Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau has been hailed as the savior of the Star Wars saga, as he’s managed to avoid the divisive nature of the Sequel Trilogy with The Mandalorian and has created something that has achieved acclaim from fans and non-fans alike. It’s no surprise that Lucasfilm is developing various spinoffs that Favreau and Filoni will likewise exec produce, then, but it’s possib...

Star Wars storyline with a brand new adventure set in a galaxy far, far away. According to recent details shared by leaker and YouTuber Mike Zeroh – so, as always, take this with a grain of salt – the House of Mouse is said to have handed The Mandalorian showrunner Jon Favreau the reins to a Disney Plus project which will see Daisy Ridley’s character, Rey Skywalker, give birth to a Force-sensitive son. Borrowing heavily from now non-canon Star Wars Legends material, this child is said t...

Star Wars: Daisy Ridley Confirms Palpatine Connection Wasnt Planned Until The Rise of Skywalker One of the big surprises of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was the reveal that Daisy Ridleys Rey was a descendant of Emperor Palpatine, with Ridley herself being just as surprised as audiences, as she was under the impression that she was a "nobody" for the first two films. Ever since audiences met Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, theories emerged about whether she really was from a family of...
