Last week’s episode of The Mandalorian featured plenty of antics from the show’s breakout character, the Child (or Baby Yoda, as the internet likes to call him). However, some fans didn’t find the Child’s hunger for an alien frog woman’s eggs to be all that entertaining. There has been some outcry from those finding the sneaky snacking of the Child to be a little careless when it comes to the life that they represent. After all, these are an alien frog woman’s unfertilized eggs that she’s desperately trying to get to her husband.
Lucasfilm has responded to the complaints that have been registered online about Baby Yoda eating eggs, but the answer doesn’t exactly make the situation much more forgivable. But it depends on how you feel about a presumably unknowing child satisfying his hunger for eggs. Read More »

Last weekend’s episode of The Mandalorian introduced us to another terrifying creature in the Star Wars universe…and it’s not the Child’s hunger for eggs. After the Razor Crest landed on an unknown ice planet, Mando, the Child, and a new passenger encountered some nasty spiders lurking in a cavern. This is the first time the deadly creatures have been introduced in the live-action Star Wars universe, but their inception goes all the way back to concept art created by Ralph McQuarrie for The Empire Strikes Back.

Before the new Star Wars trilogy came around, the prequels were the most divisive installments of the sci-fi saga. While older Star Wars fans love the original trilogy more, those who grew up with The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith hold the movies in high esteem. So there’s plenty of interest in learning anything and everything about the making of those films with the benefit of hindsight. And a new Star Wars book has finally provided that.
The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005 is a new book from author Paul Duncan and specialty book publishers Taschen that pulls the curtain back on the making of the prequel trilogy more than any other piece of media. With 600 pages of material, this follow-up to the previously released The Star Wars Archives: 1977-1983 digs deep into the Star Wars prequels, with some particularly fascinating insights from George Lucas himself, including a couple details on his plans for an eventual sequel trilogy that we never got to see.
