How will Star Wars Rebels play into the Sequel Trilogy?

Empire day. On that day seen in Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine reorganized the Republic into the first Galactic Empire. That day also saw the birth of Ezra Bridger, causing him to hate that day for many years after. The crazy thing is, Luke and Leia were born just days after Ezra in another scene of RotS. According to Pablo Hidalgo (who is the next best thing to canon: canyon) in Rebels Recon going back to June 2015, Luke and Leia were born a mere two days after Ezra. So in a span of two days, we have the birth of the Empire, and the birth of Ezra, Luke and Leia. It’s as if this span of time represents a temporal nexus point in the Galaxy far far away…

Are the Anthology movies a bad idea?

This December we get our first Star Wars movie that doesn’t revolve around the Skywalker family and its mythos. We have had books, video games, and tv shows that gave us different viewpoints, eras, and characters but they have always been auxiliary. The stories told in those media were sometimes good, sometimes bad but they were never central to how we understood Star Wars because Star Wars has always been about the Big Screen. Now we have an addition to the Big Screen Star Wars that is outside of the Mythos and I have to ask is that good thing?

5 Fan hypothesis that should go away

In the aftermath of The Force Awakens the fans have developed all types of great hypothesis to explain backstories and fill in gaps of our knowledge. While this is a fun exercise that we at Spoiledbluemilk.com participate in regularly it helps to have support for it or at the very least not have canon contradictory evidence. So here 5 hypothesis  that won’t go away despite all evidence that they are in no way true.

Why is shooting Star Wars on film so important

Colin Trevorrow has definitely got his mind on Star Wars, already planning a great finale to the Sequel Trilogy. He’s even gone as far as to contemplate how to do a shot in outer space. That would be truly amazing, but how would they do it? They’d maybe take an airplane very high in the atmospher to accomplish this, but even then to stabilize the camera for a “Star Wars shot” might be tough. Nevertheless, I like the way he is thinking. He wants to create an ultra-real Star Wars.

Did Kylo Ren have a Dark Side Force-vision?

Greetings fellow Star Wars fans! I’m back to do some head scratching about The Force Awakens. There’s no doubt that Rey has some impressive Force powers in The Force Awakens. One power that she definitely seems to have is psychometry. She had a Force-vision when she touched the lightsaber for the first time. It makes you wonder what she experienced the second time she touched it…

What’s in a (code)name

This year we will see the first Star Wars film that doesn’t involve our main line trilogies. We are finally starting to get leaks Rogue One and the most interesting one of late to me is about Code Names for three factions. Who are the Seals, Eels and Sharks that we will get to know this December and what can those names tell us?
