  • "We've Talked About It": The Last Jedi's Kelly Marie Tran Addresses Possible Star Wars Return

    1 week ago | screenrant.com | Tom Bacon

    Kelly Marie Tran has confirmed she's always willing to return as Rose Tico, her character in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Introduced in The Last Jedi as a potential love interest for John Boyega's Finn, Kelly Marie Tran sadly found herself at the heart of the movie's controversy. Rose Tico was sidelined in The Rise of Skywalker, a creative decision from Lucasfilm that angered many given that it seemed to bow to the views of online trolls.

  • Andor Showrunner Hints At "Legacy Character" Recasts In Star Wars' New TV Show

    1 week ago | screenrant.com | Tom Bacon

    Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy has hinted at "legacy character" recasts in season 2. The first season of Andor was unlike anything else in Star Wars, eschewing Easter eggs in favor of character arcs. But Andor season 2 takes a very different approach, because it is moving to a part of the timeline that's much more well-established.

    Andor stars Denise Gough and Kyle Soller delighted fans in season 1 as ISB agent Dedra Meero and the Andor-obsessed Syril Karn. The end of Andor season 1 set up an unlikely romance between the two, and clips from season 2 have confirmed their relationship has progressed. Fans are watching the scenes in amazement, openly dubbing them the weirdest couple we're going to see on TV this year.

  • It's Official: Even Star Wars Knows The Prequel Jedi Order Had Become "Cruel"

    1 week ago | screenrant.com | Tom Bacon

    Even Star Wars has finally acknowledged that the prequel Jedi Order had become "cruel." I still remember settling down to watch Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace in theaters all the way back in 1999. I'd been hooked to Star Wars since childhood, and I finally had the chance to see the Jedi on screen. There was just one problem, I swiftly realized: this Jedi Order was nothing like what I expected. To be fair to George Lucas, that was kind of the point.

  • Star Wars Introduces An Awesome New Use Of Force Lightning

    1 week ago | screenrant.com | Tom Bacon

    Star Wars just introduced an incredible new use of Force lightning, one I'm desperate to see on the screen. According to Palpatine, the dark side of the Force is a pathway to abilities many would consider unnatural. He made that abundantly clear when he confronted Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, using the Force to generate a blitz of lightning. Weirdly, Palpatine's Force lightning seems to be his worst enemy.
