While millions tuned into to get their first glimpse of the Rise of the Resistance ride during Freeform’s Galaxy’s Edge: Adventure Awaits special, many likely missed a quote regarding the legendary planet of Bakura. What could this planet mean for The Rise of Skywalker?

We’ll explain along with our Hot Takes, poll results, and more!

The title of an Expanded Universe novel has been permanently etched into my memory. I remember sitting in the Star Wars section of Waldenbooks multiple times, debating whether or not to purchase it, or another novel that seemed interesting - Heir to the Empire. Eventually, I chose Heir to the Empire. But now, Bakura has reappeared in the minds of Star Wars fans who watched last week’s Galaxy’s Edge: Adventure Awaits special on Freeform. Here we go.

While little is known about Project Luminous, Siglain showed a slide that stated, “The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. Until… PROJECT LUMINOUS, 2020.” He also confirmed the involvement of five all-star authors: Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule.
Is There an Ancient Force Connection to Zori Bliss?

(A) huge clue Zorri’s backstory might be hiding in plain sight. Redditor u/thekoonw theorizes that not only does Zorri’s role in Episode IX mirror that of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, but insists that her costume is etched with the ancient Jedi language. Referred to by Star Wars Rebels’ Ahsoka Tano as the “old tongue,” the ancient Force language has appeared on the Jedi Temple of Lothal and in the Great Temple on Yavin 4.
Though the old language has never been given an official name, it has appeared across several mediums of the Star Wars franchise, most notably in the Rebels animated TV series. The language, which was used by Force users across the galaxy, appears prominently on Jedi temples, but it’s also been seen on the walls of the Sith Temple on Malachor. However, the script is most prominent on Massassi’s Great Temple on Yavin 4, one of the moons orbiting Yavin.
“Look at her costume and zoom in to see some kind of ‘language etched on her… belts?” the theorist writes. “Around her torso and her… golden metallic arm bands. The language looks familiar with the ‘old tongue’ language appeared in Rebels show.”

Star Wars seemingly adds old Wedge Antilles to the cover of the upcoming novel Resistance Reborn. The book, which will be published in November, is part of the "Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" line looking to capitalize on the hype and anticipation for this December's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It fills in the gaps between The Last Jedi and Star Wars 9, depicting Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron's first mission together as they work with General Leia to rebuild the Resistance following the Battle of Crait.
