This Fan Film Puts A Bit More Action into The Fight Between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader

One weird part about the aging of the Star Wars franchise is the datedness of the franchise’s action scenes. Don’t get me wrong, the old movies still have good fights, but they feel of a decidedly different tenor than the new ones. Fight choreography, like all manners of special effects work, has changed significantly over…

This Video Reminds Us We’ve Already Seen a Perfect Post-Episode III Obi-Wan Moment

We may be beating a dead horse by this point, but Obi-Wan Kenobi fighting Darth Maul in this year’s Star Wars Rebels was absolutely perfect. It’s so perfect, in fact, it makes me question the entire idea of a solo Obi-Wan movie which, of course, is now in development. Case in point: this new video…

Do We Really Need an Obi-Wan Kenobi Standalone Movie?

Fans have been talking about an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie for years. Meanwhile, Ewan McGregor has repeatedly said he’d like to return to the role.

These 15 Seconds of Next Week’s Star Wars Rebels Are the Best Thing You’ll See Today

This week’s Star Wars Rebels is a cool episode that features Wedge. And it’s great. But before that episode has even aired, Disney has released a teaser for the March 18 episode.

Star Wars Rebels’ third season is building towards a do-or-die standoff between Darth Maul and the opponent he’s been hunting for nearly two decades: old Ben Kenobi.

Greedo Was a Terrible Bounty Hunter Long Before He Tried to Capture Han Solo

Unlike pretty much any other bounty hunter in Star Wars, Greedo’s known for being a bit crap at his job. After all, our one and only encounter with him in the movie is him getting shot up by Han Solo. But in the Disney canon, it’s now not the only time the Rodian has crossed…

Wait, What? Obi-Wan Kenobi Wasn’t Going to Die in A New Hope

Obi-Wan Kenobi being struck down—and becoming more powerful than we could possibly imagine—is a defining moment in the Star Wars saga. It informs so much of Luke’s journey from farmhand to Jedi Knight. It’s a chapter in the tragic tale of Anakin Skywalker. But in the initial script, it wasn’t going to happen. Chewbacca actor…
