Future Star Wars Shows Will Reportedly Fix Issues Fans Had With Rise Of Skywalker Created by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, the hit Disney Plus show has received acclaim from fans and critics alike for recapturing the same magic that made George Lucas’ adventures set in a galaxy far, far away such a joy to experience. Season 2 in particular, which concluded last week with the spectacular return of a beloved character, has brought Din Djarin closer to the core story of Jedi vs. Sith than ever be...

Star Wars Fans Celebrate The Fifth Anniversary Of The Force Awakens The first six Star Wars movies were all released in May, but after Disney purchased Lucasfilm and acquired the rights to the beloved franchise, the Mouse House opted to unveil Episodes VII, Rogue One was also handed a debut in that month, which gives Solo the unwanted distinction of not only being the lowest-grossing live-action entry in the series, but the only Disney era project to have made less than a billion dollars at...

CS Soapbox: Is The Mandalorian Fan Service Too Much? WARNING!!!: This opinion piece contains SPOILERS for The Mandalorian Episode 16: “The Rescue”! Proceed with caution! Having grown up with the great Star Wars drought that lasted from 1983 until 1997 when the Special Editions came out (followed shortly by the prequels), it was hard to imagine a time when getting more Star Wars might turn out to be too much of a good thing.

That’s how I felt about the first season of The Mandalorian, Disney’s first modern-day foray into a live-action Star Wars TV show. For those of you paying attention, I had declared that I had lost all interest in seeing any new Star Wars movies after Rian Johnson’s polarizing, thematically interesting but ultimately awful Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I just didn�...

The Mandalorian Fans Are Worried That Kylo Ren Will Hurt Baby Yoda There was an awful lot going on in The Mandalorian‘s season 2 finale, but everything got pushed to the side when the mysterious Jedi who saved our plucky heroes from certain death at the hands of Moff Gideon’s Dark Troopers threw off his hood to reveal Luke Skywalker. The de-aging effects might not have been 100% convincing, but seeing the most famous Jedi in the galaxy interact with Mando and Baby Yoda was more than enough...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard There’s a disturbance in the Force today.

The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale Has Created A Big Star Wars Plot Hole Fans of Star Wars franchise’s most iconic characters in “Chapter 16: The Rescue,” the action-packed episode reunited old friends with new and even managed to squeeze in a teaser for upcoming spinoff, The Book of Boba Fett.
