Star Wars: The Force Unleashed tells the story of Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, but it almost introduced the last Skywalker in Star Wars’distant future. According to The Art and Production of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed by W. Haden Blackman and Brett Rector, the game went through several changes in development and originally had a completely different story. One of these ideas, dubbed “Jedi Outlaw”, would have continued the Skywalker legacy and led Star Wars into the future like no story has done before or since.

Andor will return for its second and final season in April 2025, but how will these episodes fit into the Star Wars timeline? The first season of Andor was set in 5 BBY, meaning the story takes place five years before the destruction of the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope. Why Andor season one takes place in a single year, this naturally raises questions about how the show will cover the remaining four years of Cassian Andor’s story (if at all). Happily, Andor creator/showrunner Tony Gilroy clarified when the next episodes will take place…

With the same incredible film production and the same…
THE Star Wars resurrected sequel trilogy Emperor Palpatine as a last-minute villain, but many other characters in the saga could have served as a better antagonist. When Supreme Leader Snoke was shockingly killed in Star Wars: The Last Jedithe upcoming film was put in a difficult position when it came to selecting its villain. The filmmakers could have stuck with Kylo Ren, who assumed full command of the First Order, but the lack of another suitable replacement would have ruled out the possibility of Ben Solo’s redemption. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Abrams’ solution was to reveal that Palpatine…
Summary Palpatine needs the second Death Star as a trap to finally end the Galactic Civil War. Developing a planet-destroying weapon was the real hurdle in ending the first Death Star. An unfinished Death Star made to appear vulnerable acted as an effective trap for the Rebellion. Despite being the ultimate weapon to crush the Rebellion, the second Death Star was unfinished Return of the Jedi. If Emperor Palpatine wanted the Rebel Alliance defeated, why would he set his plans in motion before it was finished? The answer would seem to be time, because the first Death Star took almost…
