Hayden Christensen commented on Star Wars about Darth Vader

Hayden Christensen is ready for a bigger return to the role of Darth Vader in Star Wars after the second season of Ahsoka.

Having played the role of Anakin Skywalker, who later became Darth Vader in the prequel trilogy, Christensen returned to the role after more than 15 years. The return took place in the series “Obi-Wan Kenobi”. After that, he starred in Ahsoka.

There have been rumors recently about a Darth Vader solo film being developed, in which Christensen could play the lead role. At the grand opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, the actor addressed the rumors to E! News. Answering the question whether he was ready to play the main role in the solo album, he gave a clear affirmative answer:

Of course. Yes, I would be delighted by such an opportunity. But for now these are just rumors.

Open Skyview - the Star Wars Galaxy Map & Night Sky App

The website Open Skyview is an interactive three-dimensional map of the Star Wars galaxy and a mobile application for observing the “starry sky” of fictional planets. The project was created by a fan under the nickname AurebeshFiles.

The site offers two cool modes:

• Galaxy Mode: Allows you to view the entire Star Wars galaxy in 3D, rotating, zooming in, and exploring the location of more than 2,000 canon and expanded worlds (from Tatooine and Coruscant to obscure planets).
• Sky Mode: Allows you to “stand” on the surface of any selected planet, select a latitude, and look at its night sky. If you open the site on your smartphone, you can use it as a virtual planetarium: by rotating your phone around you, you will see the stars and neighboring planets as if you were really in the Star Wars world.

On the site you can switch the time of day on the planets and speed up the rotation of the sky to see the movement of cosmic bodies. There are filters for films: you can display only those planets that appeared in specific episodes of the movie saga. Cool Background Information: Clicking on a planet opens a card with a description and links to Wookieepedia.

"Star Wars" presented the best version of the Rey trilogy

Nearly seven years after the last Rey Skywalker film, Disney and Lucasfilm have delivered the best version of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

Although the first projects under the wing of Disney brought huge profits, they caused conflicting reactions among fans. The Force Awakens was criticized for copying A New Hope, The Last Jedi divided the community into two camps, and the controversy surrounding The Rise of Skywalker. Sunrise" still does not subside.

There were several reasons for the mixed reaction to the trilogy. Some didn't like how the legacy of the original trilogy was treated, while others criticized the lack of a unified concept for all three films. The big takeaway from all of these problems is that the sequel trilogy could have been better. Even with Rey as the main characters.

Now, almost seven years after the release of The Rise of Skywalker. Sunrise,” the franchise offered a better version of this story. The Ninth Jedi, from the Star Wars Visions anthology, is not canon, but is set in the same historical period as the sequels. Moreover, there is something here that fans were missing from the films.

All Andor characters appearing in Star Wars: Edge of the Abyss

Last year saw the release of the second and final season of Andor, which was arguably the greatest Star Wars story since the original trilogy. Sophisticated, emotional, intriguing and strikingly relevant, Tony Gilroy's series tackled political issues with far more depth and subtlety than most Star Wars stories, and it would probably have made George Lucas proud. 

But Andor wasn't the only realistic political thriller based on the Star Wars universe that came out last year. Alexander Fried wrote The Mask of Fear (Reign of the Empire), the first book in a trilogy, which, due to the shared characters and maturity of the plot, is a prequel to Andor. You could say zero season. Now Rebecca Roanhorse continues Freed's work and the Reign of the Empire trilogy with an equally gripping and deep spy story that resonates closely with both Andor and our real world.

The events of "The Edge of the Abyss" take place a year before the events of the first season of "Andor" and 13 years after the events of "Mask of Fear" ("Reign of the Empire"). Once again, Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Saw Gerrera, whose conflicting views lead them to find very different ways to break the Empire's iron grip on the galaxy, find themselves embroiled in a quest. When one of Guerrera's guerrillas is captured by the Empire after a mission goes wrong, panic sets in over what to do with the captive whose knowledge of the resistance could end the rebellion before it even begins. Meanwhile, Mon faces a horrifying discovery: the Empire has turned its sights on indoctrinating the galaxy's youth in order to further cement Imperial control of the galaxy.

The Edge of the Abyss is actually a prequel to the first season of Andor and, as such, features many characters from the popular series. Here is a list of all the characters that appear in both projects...
