“At last, we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last, we will have our revenge,” Darth Maul says to his shadowy Sith master in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Twenty-five years after that prequel film set the stage for the rise of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, the new live-action series The Acolyte will show us the origin of the Sith plan to destroy the Jedi once and for all. That story actually begins 100 years before the prequel trilogy, when the Sith were thought to be all but extinct.

The jump from Avatar: The Last Airbender to Avatar: The Legend of Korra left a lot of gaps in between for fans and the studio to fill in. From the eerie absence of Sokka in the sequels to the identity of Toph’s children’s father, fans have been curious about several such questions for quite some time.
Toph, In Avatar: The Last Airbender
One of the fan theories that has been making the rounds in the fandom is about the identity of Lin and Suyin’s fathers. We know that the Beifong sisters are half-siblings, but it is never publically revealed who is the father of either of the characters. However, one fan theory points towards the possibility that Sokka could be Suyin’s father.

Bishkek, named after the mythical and legendary Kyrgyz hero who unified the various Kyrgyz tribes, is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, a mountainous Central Asian country of seven million inhabitants, plus a million Kyrgyz citizens working in the Russian Federation.
Kyrgyzstan borders Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China. It is famous for Lake Issyk-Kul, an inland sea, horse riding, national parks and cinema. Director Tolomush Okeev is the leading figure of the Soviet period. For the post-Soviet period, since
Kyrgyzstan gained independence in 1992, Aktan Arym Kubat Abdykalykov, director who won the Silver Leopard at Locarno (Le Fils adoptif- Beshkempir), was twice selected at Cannes and has attended the Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinemas several times, either as President of the International Jury or as guest of honor for a retrospective of his films.
Bishkek, named after the Soviet military commander Frunze during the Soviet period, has grown like a mushroom in 200 years.

This article contains spoilers for "Star Wars: Ahsoka" episode 3 — "Time to Fly"Things are kicking into high gear in part 3 of "Ahsoka." Directed again by Steph Green and written by Dave Filoni, the episode shows the inertia faced by the New Republic when it comes to taking any military action beyond the end of the war. Few seem to believe that Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) could be a threat to the New Republic, and others still think that the specter of Thrawn is just Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth-Winstead) trying to nab all the resources she can get to go on a selfish mission to look for her lost friend, Ezra Bridger (Emen Esfandi). While Hera spends her time arguing with Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), the Chancellor of the Republic, another journey is underway. Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson), Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), and Huyang (David Tennant) travel to Seatos in...

This Star Wars: Ahsoka article contains spoilers.
There’s never been a Star Wars show quite as jam-packed with easter eggs and references as Ahsoka, which is not just pulling from The Mandalorian-era shows but also two animated series and even one of the most celebrated Expanded Universe novels of all time. It’s easily the most ambitious Star Wars series to date, especially as it will presumably also set up the film set to be directed by Ahsoka showrunner Dave Filoni.
Featuring characters from both The Clone Wars and Rebels, and essentially serving as a sequel to the latter cartoon, Ahsoka wastes no time with its callbacks, as elements from those animated series make the jump to live action.
Here are all the biggest easter eggs and points of interest in “Master and Apprentice” and “Toil and Trouble”:

This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian season 3.
The Mandalorian is back for its third season, and it’s bringing back all the recurring characters you know and love, with one notable exception. In 2021, actor Gina Carano’s controversial online behavior forced Lucasfilm to cut her from the series after the season 2 finale. Yes, that means you shouldn’t expect to see New Republic marshal Cara Dune in The Mandalorian season 3 — or in future Star Wars stories, for that matter.
Lucasfilm originally seemed to have big plans for Carano’s character after season 2, including a spinoff series called Rangers of the New Republic, which would have allegedly starred Cara Dune. The spinoff has since been nixed from the Star Wars slate. But while Cara’s “Mandoverse” journey may be over, that doesn’t mean The Mandalorian has killed her off between seasons, either. Don’t expect a “Somehow,...
