Does the Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi Cast Point to a Young Luke Skywalker Cameo?

New DVD release, , , ,
Some fans thought this day would never come but it’s finally happening: Ewan McGregor is returning to the role of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in a Disney+ live-action series set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith. That means we’ll meet an older Obi-Wan in exile on Tatooine but not quite the same age as Sir Alec Guinness in A New Hope. The fact that the show takes place during a largely unexplored period in the Jedi’s life should provide some exciting narrative opportunities for director Deborah Chow and writer Joby Harold. Interestingly enough, McGregor won’t be the only returning…

Why The Mandalorian Was Always Destined to Meet Luke Skywalker

New DVD release, , ,
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. Now that the smoke has cleared and all those dark troopers have felt the heat from Luke’s green blade, we can finally reflect on the legendary Jedi’s debut on The Mandalorian. As exciting as the finale’s biggest moment was, Luke’s cameo proved to be a divisive one among Star Wars fans despite it hardly being all that surprising. Some fans felt that the cameo was designed to appease toxic fans still angry over the character’s portrayal in The Last Jedi, a move some said resembled the “over correction” in The Rise of…

The Mandalorian: Who Plays Luke Skywalker in the Season 2 Finale?

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. Savvy, Force-sensitive bunch that they are, many Star Wars fans felt the impending arrival of a certain green lightsaber-wielding Jedi in The Mandalorian’s near future. After all, Grogu summoned a Jedi in “The Tragedy” and it’s not like there’s an abundant supply of Force-users out there in the show’s continuity. Naturally, those same fans had some strong opinions on who should portray the post-Return of the Jedi, pre-Force Awakens version of Luke Skywalker. Sebastian Stan, The Winter Soldier himself, was the most popular fancast. Not only does he have a certain moisture…

The Mandalorian: Is Luke Skywalker the Jedi Who Will Find Grogu?

New DVD release, ,
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. When Din Djarin first met Grogu, he probably knew less about Star Wars than anyone reading this article. The Jedi were a mystery to him, known to the Mandalorians only as ancient sorcerer enemies. But as we know — and as Din has finally learned — Grogu has deep ties to the Jedi. After Ahsoka Tano reveals Grogu’s past as a Jedi youngling who was forced to go into hiding during Order 66, she sends the duo to the planet Tython, the birthplace of the Jedi Order, so that Grogu may use…

Star Wars Deepfake Casts Star Trek’s William Shatner as Luke Skywalker

New DVD release, , , ,
Hello, and welcome to yet another edition of “looking at the internet’s constant supply of disturbing deepfakes and rating them according to both their objective skill and existential horrors.” Today’s offering is Star Wars-themed, and d’you know what? Not sure we’ve ever covered a Star Wars deepfake before, so this will be a unique entry into the Den of Geek library. It’s a very silly library. We don’t enforce a ‘no talking’ rule, so feel free to yell in the comments as standard. “What if a young William Shatner had been cast as Luke Skywalker?” certainly isn’t a question we…

Did Young Anakin Skywalker Actually “Destroy” Star Wars?

New DVD release, , , ,
The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy has never ceased being the center of debates, even after Disney bought the franchise and released the Sequel Trilogy, which has become equally, if not more, controversial. Among the plethora of perceived prequel problems, creator George Lucas’ choice to depict Anakin Skywalker as a child in mega-hyped 1999 trilogy launcher The Phantom Menace remains one of the most controversial. It’s no wonder the studio set to make the new movie with Lucas was so worried about this twist. “You’re going to destroy the franchise; you’re going to destroy everything!” is what 20th Century Fox executives…

Star Wars: Karl Urban’s The Rise of Skywalker Cameo Revealed

New DVD release, , ,
After being name-checked in The Rise of Skywalker’s end credits under ‘additional voices,’ Star Trek and The Boys star Karl Urban has confirmed that he played a stormtrooper in last year’s Star Wars threequel. “Here’s the process,” he told Digital Spy. “I had the good fortune to go and visit [director] J. J. Abrams while he was shooting The Rise of Skywalker. While I was there, he put me in a stormtrooper uniform and we had a really fun day on set. It’s been one of my life-long goals to be a stormtrooper, so I can tick that off now.”…

Star Wars: Is Ahsoka Dead in The Rise of Skywalker?

New DVD release,
This Star Wars article contains spoilers. While The Clone Wars season 7 brings Ahsoka Tano’s Prequel era story to an end, this is only the end of the first part of her story. Even if she’s not physically in any of the movies, Ahsoka’s presence is felt all the way to The Rise of Skywalker when she speaks to Rey through the Force during the film’s climactic battle with Palpatine. Although it’s just as likely that her inclusion in this scene is simply a wink at the Star Wars fans who love the character, Ahsoka’s single line in The Rise…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Mid-lockdown, Den of Geek’s Star Wars experts talk The Clone Wars and The Rise of Skywalker news. Episode IX is out in home release, and Paul breaks down the merits of the different versions, including the digital, physical, and 4k editions.

Star Wars: Daisy Ridley Responds to Rise of Skywalker Backlash

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s strange times when a movie can cross $1 billion worldwide but many folks, including the talent that starred in it, are forced to speak of it in tones of disappointment or frustration. But here we are less than four full months out from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’s debut and its star is fielding questions about fan division and a muted critical reception. As the ninth and allegedly final film in “the Skywalker Saga”—which includes nine of the 11 Star Wars movies—J.J. Abrams’ The Rise of Skywalker arrived with heavy expectations, particularly after Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi…

Star Wars: What The Rise of Skywalker Book Adds to the Movie

New DVD release,
This Star Wars article contains spoilers. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was polarizing, to say the least, and fans have pored and debated over its plot twists and script for the past few months. Revealing that Rey is a Palpatine in the tradition of Luke Skywalker’s reveal as Darth Vader’s son was just one of the strange and surprising elements. And it left more questions than answers in the end. The novelization, marketed as an “Expanded Edition” of the movie’s story, elaborates on Emperor Palpatine’s plan and the movie’s central relationship. Carrie Fisher’s role in the movie was limited…

When Will Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Release on Disney+?

New DVD release, ,
There’s been an awakening on Disney+. Have you felt it? It’s not the dark side, but countless Disney and Star Wars fans asking when the House of Mouse might release The Rise of Skywalker on the streaming service. Unfortunately, Disney hasn’t answered this question just yet, and if the final chapter of the Skywalker Saga follows the usual theater-to-Disney+ release window, fans might have a while to go before the movie actually hits Disney+. This situation is unprecedented, of course. This will be the first time a new Star Wars movie has released from the theater to Disney+. Before the…
