It All Comes Together Where It Began: 4 Ways How Rest of the Star Wars Canon Enhances the Viewing Experience of 'A New Hope'
When a troubled indie movie called Star Wars took the world by storm in 1977, it created an enthusiastic fandom united in their love for the galaxy far away. However, as this galaxy expanded, so did the divide amongst it's fans to a point of having one of the most divisive fandoms out there. Now, while it's hardly a surprise considering we're talking about 40 plus years of hugely varying content, one still can't help but to wonder: is it even possible for the fandom to return to that uncompromised love for all things Star Wars that defined these early years?

Project Blackwing
With the success of Abeloth: A Star Wars Dark Side Story & The Sith Triumvirate: A Star Wars Dark Side Story I decided to proceed to the EU storyline that I have always thought should be adapted into a stand-alone film. When I first conceptualized this series I debated on which topic to cover first, the three leading contenders were Abeloth, The Sith Triumvirate, and the Blackwing Virus.

The Sith Triumvirate
Back in May, we were treated to the second standalone Star Wars with the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Unfortunately, Solo was quickly slammed by fans soon after its announcement as a story we didn't need to see play out and was met with empty theaters upon its release. Star Wars fans are ready for something new, and they made this clear in their rejection of what was meant to be an act of good faith by the powers that be at Disney and Lucasfilm.

Abeloth
In recent years Star Wars has begun to branch off from the main saga to explore other stories or expand on parts of the Star Wars universe. First, we were treated to Rogue One which explored how the Rebels obtained the plans to the Death Star and why it was destroyed so easily. Next we are getting Solo which is going to explore the backstory of Han Solo and several key events in his past.

Looking Forward to 'Star Wars: The Rule of Two' Trilogy
Recently, while out to dinner with a friend of my wife's—and in turn a friend of my own I suppose—I had the sheer pleasure of discussing the train wreck that was Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi. Between rants about incompetent leaders, ridiculously rogue plans, misleading epic fight scenes that culminated in disappointment and very serious questions about nuclear fusion engines and momentum in a frictionless environment, we came to one perfect conclusion: we can not wait for Star Wars IX: The One That Got Away, to release. With only one good reason why: so that Star Wars fans could get the trilogy of movies they deserve.
