Maul Shadow Lord is coming in April! We got the first teaser and an article on StarWars.com, so let’s talk about what we know about the series, and break everything down!
For three seasons, we followed along with Star Wars: The Clone Wars spinoff THE BAD BATCH and all of their adventures. Among the troopers was the young clone Omega, who quickly emerged as one of the most likeable Star Wars characters to come along in quite a while. Joining us “In The Cantina” for the very first time is Omega herself, Michelle Ang, who shares stories from behind-the-scenes at THE BAD BATCH along with how she relates to Omega and more. You will find Michelle as likeable as Omega, probably more.
For years, Star Wars fans have debated the direction of Lucasfilm under Kathleen Kennedy and now, with her stepping down, it’s time to take a clear, honest look back.
In this video, I break down Kathleen Kennedy’s biggest missteps during her time as Lucasfilm President: what went wrong, why certain decisions divided the fanbase, and how these choices shaped the modern Star Wars era. I also talk about her most successful Star Wars projects and how inconsistency between projects was her biggest mistake.
More importantly, we talk about what Lucasfilm can do better moving forward. What lessons should Disney take from this era? What needs to change to rebuild trust with fans and deliver consistent, high-quality Star Wars stories again? If you care about the future of Star Wars this conversation matters!
Welcome to Star Wars HQ! Here, we talk about all things Star Wars including Star Wars Galactic Racer, Star Wars Fate of the Old Republic, Star Wars Eclipse, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Star Wars Battlefront 3, Star Wars Zero Company and so much more including the movies and TV series!
This compilation pulls from star fighters and land vehicles from Star Wars, from AT-AT, AT-TE, MTT, AT-ST on the ground to space with the Naboo Fighter, A-Wing, HMP Droid gunships and many, many more.
Ashley Eckstein is back on RFR! As the voice of Ahsoka on The Clone Wars, Ashley developed the character from the ground up alongside George Lucas himself. We dig deep into the evolution of Ahsoka from The Clone Wars to Rebels and Ashley bravely opens up about being denied the opportunity to bring the character to life in live-action. In this must-hear conversation, Ashley gets deep about her connection to Ahsoka and the Star Wars fanbase.

Prepare to be transported to a galaxy far, far away with the thrilling sequel to Star Wars: The Rising Storm! The light of the Jedi is up against its darkest hour as the vicious raiders, known as the Nihil, once again threaten to bring the golden age of the High Republic to a fiery end.
Despite facing exhaustion and trauma, the High Republic has emerged victorious, thanks to its brave protectors: the Jedi. And at the heart of their triumph stands the awe-inspiring Starlight Beacon – a beacon of hope, culture, and knowledge that illuminates the Outer Rim.
As the Nihil’s relentless attacks force survivors and refugees to seek shelter, the Starlight Beacon and its courageous crew are ready to provide aid and comfort. The Jedi Knights and Padawans stationed there can finally heal from their injuries and mourn their losses.
But, the Nihil’s ultimate goal is still to come to fruition. Marchion Ro, the true mastermind behind their sinister plot, is preparing a daring final attack to snuff out the light of the Jedi once and for all. Will the Jedi be able to withstand this final storm and emerge victorious, or will the darkness finally triumph? The fate of the galaxy rests in their hands.
After years of speculation, Kathleen Kennedy has officially stepped down as President of Lucasfilm and handed over the reins to new Co-Presidents Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan. For those attuned to the Force, this news wasn’t shocking, although it has raised concerns among some fans about the future of a galaxy far, far away. Despite the inevitable backlash to Filoni’s hiring customary to a fan base no stranger to toxicity, we think Lucasfilm’s succession plan is not only the logical one, but the most promising one – a plan that will put Star Wars into hyperdrive by simultaneously honoring the past and charting star systems never before seen.
Over the last decade, the very mention of Dave Filoni’s name has become disparagingly synonymous with a certain flavor of Star Wars storytelling. One only has to scroll absent-mindedly through Star Wars Twitter/X to see users poke fun at a predicted future for the franchise involving wild cameos, an over-reliance on nostalgia, projects that require a deep knowledge of Star Wars lore as a prerequisite for viewing, and lots and lots of Ahsoka Tano. All of these jabs woefully simplify Filoni’s contributions to Star Wars and overlook his genuine craft as a storyteller and filmmaker…

BREAKING NEWS: Kathleen Kennedy’s control of Lucasfilm and Star Wars has come to an end. We review some telling highlights from Kathy’s exit interview and discuss her Star Wars legacy. With Dave Filoni taking charge of Lucasfilm, does this mean George Lucas will return to the fold? We share our thoughts. Disney revealed a facelift is coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland as Original Trilogy characters and situations will be incorporated into the theme park this April. We review all the information about the changes and offer our opinions. Star Wars: Starfighter will feature lightsaber duels and none other than Tom Cruise stopped by the set to jump behind the camera to shoot a sequence. We look at a fresh interview with director Shawn Levy and speculate which characters will be involved in the duel and why. Mark Hamill recently discussed The Force Awakens and the lack of a reunion between Han, Luke and Leia. Find out why such a get together never materialized. Plus, we got interview highlights from Mia Goth, Oscar Isaac and more!

Where did it all go wrong for Anakin? Some viewers point to his character flaws; they accept Yoda’s argument that there was always fear in Anakin’s heart, and that this fear would inevitably lead to anger, to hatred, and ultimately to suffering. Others argue those flaws could have been dealt with had the Jedi been more empathetic, had they offered a support network and taught Anakin how to manage his attachments. But, surprisingly, George Lucas had a very different idea.
Modern Star Wars tends to venerate Qui-Gon Jinn, arguing the maverick Jedi had a better perspective on the Force than his contemporaries; the general opinion is that he was right to want Anakin trained as a Jedi, because it was the will of the Force, and that he’d have done a better job than Obi-Wan. In contrast, Lucas believed Qui-Gon was a bit of a rebel Jedi who was completely wrong to want Anakin trained. As he explained in a 1999 interview…
Are you ready to be transported to a galaxy far, far away? Join the adventure with the official novelization of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, directed by none other than J.J. Abrams. This epic blockbuster comes with a bonus: two tie-in short stories, “The Perfect Weapon” by Delilah S. Dawson and “Bait” by Alan Dean Foster.
Get ready to immerse yourself in a world that first captured our hearts over thirty years ago. The Force Awakens brings back beloved characters such as Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Luke Skywalker, while introducing us to exciting new ones.
But don’t be fooled, this adventure is not for the faint of heart. Evil does not easily relent and peace can be fleeting. However, the simple belief in good can empower ordinary individuals to rise up and meet the greatest challenges.
New York Times bestselling science fiction master Alan Dean Foster has created a thrilling novel adaptation that goes beyond the movie experience. With additional scenes and insights into the characters’ thoughts, he paints a broader picture of the galaxy.
The Washington Post raves that Foster not only evokes entire onscreen worlds but also gives us glimpses of an even more vast, unseen universe. And Coffee with Kenobi confirms that Foster captures the spirit of the film while presenting additional information that helps answer some of the questions that linger.
So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to experience the thrill of Star Wars: The Force Awakens novelization and let the Force awaken within you.
