Boba Fett Is Reportedly Coming to The Mandalorian

When last we saw Boba Fett, he’d been knocked into the Sarlacc pit on Tatooine and left for dead. Well, it seems he got out, and he’ll cross paths with a similar-looking bounty hunter. The Hollywood Reporter says that Boba Fett will make a brief appearance in The Mandalorian season two. That’s the good news.…

See Rey Flex Her Jedi Muscle in this Rise of Skywalker Concept Art

Concept art isn’t gospel. Just because a piece of concept art exists does not mean it was ever going to be in the movie. That said, the next best thing to seeing something in a movie is seeing it realized in concept art, and a very cool beat conceived for the end of The Rise…

Surprise, Teen Yoda Would Be a Lot More Annoying Than the Baby

We all know Baby Yoda is adorable. But according to this sitcom-style parody cartoon, Teen Yoda (who would presumably be around 300 years old, and also isn’t really Yoda; don’t think about it too much) has developed a major attitude problem. He also vapes. Good thing Dad-Mando is so understanding! While we’ve got that Mandalorian documentary…

In the End, The Clone Wars Asks Us—and Itself—to Let Go

Twelve years. A movie. Seven seasons. A death (or two), and a return. It feels like it’s been a lifetime since Star Wars: The Clone Wars asked us to welcome it into our hearts and the galaxy far, far away. We have changed, and so has Clone Wars, and now it’s the show’s turn to…

The Clone War Is Over, But Clone Wars Isn’t

Long have we waited for this moment. Now that it’s upon us, in its final hour Star Wars: The Clone Wars has laid to bare its thesis: In a galaxy far, far away, where now nothing can be as it was for the show’s seven seasons, only one thing remains that matters. One thing that…

Watch the Original Darth Maul Help Bring Clone Wars‘ Most Incredible Lightsaber Duel to Life

Ahsoka and Darth Maul’s duel for the planet Mandalore on last week’s jaw-dropping Clone Wars wasn’t just perhaps the best ever lightsaber duel on the entire show: it might just be the best ever lightsaber duel in Star Wars, full stop. This behind-the-scenes look offers plenty of evidence as to why because it’s clear Lucasfilm…

That Incredible Clone Wars Fight Is Even Better When It’s Synced Up With Revenge of the Sith

Clone Wars’ endgame has inextricably entangled itself in the events of the Star Wars prequel trilogy’s own endgame in a way that makes for some truly incredible drama (and lightsaber fights; it’s Star Wars, after all). So it does stand to reason that weaving them side-by-side makes everything that much more exciting. Last week’s episode—the…
