Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2020) remains one of the most important entries in the franchise, largely for how it enriches the prequel trilogy era, as it spans the three years between the films Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005). The long-running animated series follows several characters, including Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein), Anakin ...

Since then, fans have been asking what’s next for the bounty hunter and the pint-sized ...

Luke Skywalker is returning to Disney+ this September, but the legendary Jedi won’t appear the way Star Wars fans remember him.

This time, however, Hamill isn’t the performer behind Luke. Disney is retelling part of ...

While fans continue to wait for the next major chapter of the galaxy far, far away on the big screen, set to arrive in May 2027 in the form of Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter ...

Few franchises have characters as instantly recognizable as Star Wars. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and the rest of the galaxy far, far away have remained cultural icons for almost five decades.
