What Did Luke Skywalker Do After ‘Return Of The Jedi’? ‘Star Wars: Battlefront 2’ Has The Answer
By Mo Mozuch
Newsweek
June 18, 2017
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 - 1
When Disney and Lucasfilm announced they would partner up to revitalize the Star Wars franchise one of the
first casualties was the bloated canon of books and comics and TV shows and video games. They said that
outside of the movies, basically, no other stories would exist in this new Star Wars universe.However, every
Star Wars story going forward would be included in the canon, after meeting some rigorous standards of course.
This includes video games like the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront 2, which will give us our first official on-screen
look at the years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
“I've always wanted to see what happens after Return of the Jedi,” co-writer Mitch Dyer told Newsweek.
“We immediately hit that point in the storytelling where we said ‘let’s definitely start at what everyone thought
was the ending.’ And we continue that story.”

The latest Star Wars story has arrived. And you can watch it right here.
Today marks the debut of Star Wars Forces of Destiny, a series of original animated shorts set in that galaxy far, far away
and focusing on the franchise’s roster of female heroes. The first installment, titled “Sands of Jakku,” covers a moment
not seen in The Force Awakens: Rey (voiced by Daisy Ridley) and BB-8 must escape a ravenous, metal-craving Nightwatcher
worm (which keen-eyed film viewers briefly spotted early on in the film) on their way to Niima Outpost — the place where
they eventually meet Finn.

Baby getting really into lightsaber battle will make you embrace the Dark Side
By Chloe Bryan
July 8, 2017

Think you'd never be tempted to turn to the Dark Side of the Force? Hm. That's cute. Say hello to Lightsaber Baby.
After receiving a cool new lightsaber, Lightsaber Baby (her actual name is Zelda), was so thrilled that she began to chase her older brother around the
house with it. Wouldn't we all?
And even though she had the blue saber and not the red, she didn't exactly stay Zen like a Jedi.
