It is for the above reasons that Cal's trilogy, which will be completed when the next Star Wars Jedi installment is released, could end up being the first perfect Star Wars trilogy. Of course, the other three have their merits, with the original sporting some of the best storytelling, the prequels an almost over-indulgent exploration of the universe's fascinating lore, and the sequel trilogy offering some of the best visuals and a terrific performance by Adam Driver. However, so far, the Star Wars Jedi trilogy has been the most consistent narratively, while offering an experience that the othe

Chatter surrounding the future of Star Wars often throws up one particular line of thinking: a desire to replicate the emotions fans felt sitting in the movie theaters of 1977. Star Wars: The Force Awakens very transparently follows the same plot, even throwing shade at George Lucas' prequels with the opening line, "This will begin to make things right."

To start with the biggest one, Jon Favreau has confirmed that Oswalt's opening description of Boba Fett's return and survival from the Sarlacc pit directly inspired his ca

The question remains, in part, whether Star Wars would really bring McGregor and Christensen back together again on screen, although the answer feels likely to be yes. McGregor was actually just on yet another red carpet, this one for The End of Oak Street, saying that both he and Christensen are still interested in such a return. What's more, with Christensen's return in Ahsoka season 2, the door seems more open than ever. Particularly given that the new season is confirmed to have a Clone Wars flashback, in fact, their reunion could even happen then, although that seems far-fetched. Neverthe
