NEW TRAILER: Ahsoka!

Published on by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

Disney+ and Lucasfilm have dropped a brand new trailer for the upcoming Star Wars series, Ahsoka. The 8 episode first season is debuting with a 2-episode premiere, on Disney+, August 23rd. The series takes place in the same time period as The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Ahsoka follows Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, the former padawan of Anakin Skywalker, as she deals with reemergence of a deadly former adversary, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Check out the trailer right here:

I’m particularly excited for this new series for a number of reasons. Ahsoka is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, I’ve followed her journey from when she was introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars to her surprise return in Star Wars Rebels to her live action debut in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Which brings me to another reason this series is such a big deal for me, it’s basically a live-action sequel series to Star Wars Rebels. Rebels is easily among my most beloved pieces of Star Wars canon. As you can see in the trailer, the show features the live-action appearances of almost all of the Rebels cast…

General Hera Syndulla, captain of The Ghost, my favorite starship this side of The Millennium Falcon…

Mandalorian warrior and artist, Sabine Wren, the onetime wielder of The Darksaber…

Chopper, the best droid in all of Star Wars not called R2-D2…

…and exiled Jedi Knight, Ezra Bridger.

Additional characters like Captain Rex and others are returning as well.

However, the biggest draw has to be “The Big Bad” of the series, fan favorite villain, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn first appeared in The Heir to The Empire trilogy of books written by Timothy Zahn in the 90’s. As part of Star Wars Legends, the books chronicled the events following Return of The Jedi. Thrawn was one of The Empire’s highest ranking officer’s and The Emperor’s right hand, second only to Darth Vader. Though he wasn’t a Force user, his brilliant mind, working like an evil Sherlock Holmes, made him just as dangerous (if not more so) than Vader or Palpetine. He was such a cunning tactician, that he very nearly succeeded in rebuilding The Empire and crippling the nascent New Republic. When Disney bought Lucasfilm the novels were no longer considered canon. However, the character was restored to canon when he appeared in Star Wars Rebels as the main antagonist of the final few seasons. Lars Mikelsen who voiced the character in Star Wars Rebels is also returning to play Thrawn in Ahsoka, which is really cool.

The last few Star Wars miniseries from Disney+ have left me a little cold, so hopefully this show will be a return to form for a galaxy far, far away.

Ahsoka premiers on Disney+ August 23rd.

Cool Star Wars Video: What If Order 66 Failed?

Published on by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

One of the things I love about having a platform like World’s Best Media, is that I have the opportunity to share content from other talented creators, that people might not otherwise see. There are so many fantastic filmmakers, artists, musicians, and more out there, whose work often gets overlooked. So when I found this very cool video I knew I had to post it. This animated video basically shows us a possible alternate narrative for Star Wars. Using a unique style of animation, this video asks the question: What if Order 66 failed? Anakin has still gone to The Dark Side and a lot of Jedi have died. But what if it wasn’t quite the decimation of The Jedi Order that we see in Revenge of The Sith? In this cool video I’ve posted below, we get to see what might have been. Enjoy…

I think this is probably how things would’ve played out if Order 66 failed. I love the idea of seeing an older Anakin Skywalker, who has gone full Dark Side, but without the debilitating injuries that put him in his iconic Darth Vader suit. Then escaping prison after years of confinement, to face his grown Jedi children. Very cool. It’s almost like “elseworlds” stories frequently seen in comic books.

This project was done by Star Wars Theory on YouTube. They have a lot of awesome videos and I definitely recommend checking them out. You can subscribe to their YouTube channel through this link: https://www.youtube.com/c/StarWarsTheory
