James Arnold Taylor voiced Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Clone Wars, and the actor believes there's still one Obi-Wan story left to tell.

Arnold Taylor spoke to ScreenRant, and shared an idea he's "pretty vocal about." He says, "I would really love for them to tell a story in animated form of Duchess Satine and Obi-Wan when they were younger and how they met, because we've talked about it throughout Clone Wars."

The actor said he's expressed his hopes of a series focused on young Satine Kryze and Obi-Wan to Lucasfilm and won't stop until they tell him to. The Clone Wars shed more light on Satine and Obi-Wan's romance during the Mandalore arc. Satine was a well-written and fully fleshed-out character on the show, and Obi-Wan's love for her was a revelation not just for fans but for Kenobi's apprentice, Anakin.

There are even scenes where Anakin teases his Master...

Welcome back to Origins, our recurring series that gives artists a space to break down everything that went into their latest release. Today, indie folk favorites The Head and the Heart return to announce their sixth album, Aperture, and break down “After the Setting Sun.”

The Head and the Heart are back to announce their sixth album, Aperture, set for release on May 9th (pre-orders are ongoing). To go along with the announcement, Consequence is premiering the album’s lead single, “After the Setting Sun,” and sharing the band’s Origins breakdown.

Aperture arrives with a sense of new for The Head and the Heart. For one, it’s their first release since signing to Verve Forecast, joining fellow folk and Americana talents like Madison Cunningham and Joy Oladokun. But perhaps more crucially, the project is the band’s first entirely self-produced album, and their first with a brand new songwriting style.

Maren Morris is back with another new song, “I Hope I Never Fall in Love,” from her upcoming EP Intermission.

The song is anchored by a slowed-down take on the classic drumbeat from the Ronettes’ “Be My Baby,” but — as the song’s title suggests — Morris is more interested in stepping on lovestruck fantasies than embracing them. “Ooh, I’m a woman of my word/Love, you only did me dirty,” Morris sings on the bridge, as the song builds to an exhilarating peak, “Forever was a fucking lie, so...

After becoming the unexpected headliner of The Mandalorian Season 3, actor Katee Sackhoff revealed that her live-action portrayal of Bo-Katan Kryze was influenced by an important character’s fate in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

In a recent interview on the Steve Varley Show via The Direct, when asked if significant moments from The Clone Wars affected her performance in The Mandalorian, Sackhoff confirmed that the death of Bo-Katan’s sister Satine Kryze was definitely one of the things that greatly changed her character’s trajectory. She explained that losing Satine was something that she carefully took into account when playing Bo-Katan in the Disney+ series, as it was a moment that transformed her character into the warrior and leader she’s known today.

Katee Sackhoff has a good idea of who should play a live-action Satine on The Mandalorian.

While appearing on the Steve Varley Show, Sackhoff revealed her interest in casting Cate Blanchett as Bo-Katan Kryze's late sister and Duchess of Mandalore from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Despite having no idea whether a Bo-Katan/Satine interaction will happen, Sackhoff joked that much of this is up to Mandalorian co-showrunner Dave Filoni, stating, "That's the cool thing about Filoni is that he already has all the answers to all of this stuff. It's just a matter of whether or not I get to be privy to it or not." She then added, "I wish that we could talk about Satine, you know. I think Cate Blanchett would be amazing."

"The Mandalorian" season 3 penultimate, episode, "The Spies," finally gathers factions of Mandalorians to retake their home planet of Mandalore. This rattles Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) because if conflicting Mandalorian factions are organizing instead of remaining divided, then they will be a force to reckon with.

The titular Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) hails from a significant faction: The Children of the Watch. Throughout "The Mandalorian," he has loyally served the sect that rescued him from a Separatist army on his home planet and raised him on Concordia. He based his virtues on their creed: raise foundlings with care, protect his fellow Mandalorian, and keep his helmet on. As his counselor and chieftain, the cryptic Armorer (Emily Swallow) often tested him on his relationship to his Mandalorian piety, counseled him with answers, and forged his beskar armor and weaponry.

In "The Spies," the Armorer is at the receiving end of an important...

If there's one thing the Naboo Queen-Senator Padmé Amidala has taught us in the "Star Wars" galaxy, you're not a true politician unless you're worthy of the fashion runway. Her iconic prequel trilogy wardrobe blazed a fashion trail for her fellow galactic politicians — and cosplayers at Star Wars Celebration.

"The Mandalorian" season 3 continues Padmé's fashionista legacy by introducing a regentess played by singer Lizzo (who herself graces the concert stage as a dancing and flute-playing fashion icon). In season 3, episode 6 "Guns for Hire," Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), his adorable foundling Grogu, and Lady Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) venture to Plazir-15 where they are greeted by its lavish regents, the Duchess and Captain Bombardier (Jack Black). The Mandalorians — save for the enchanted Grogu — find themselves weirded out by the upper-crust atmosphere and out of place in their beskar armor.

If you were shocked by the "Star Wars" casting of Lizzo...

Anna Graves, the Minnesota-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who composes with the candor of a late-night conversation where nothing is off the table, is introduced on “Easy For You,” her first single. Revealing an honesty and vulnerability that seeps through the cracks between dusty acoustic guitar and sparse production like glimmers of light underneath a locked door, “Easy For You” is the first music from her upcoming debut EP, Ghostland.

Anna bares the roots of “Easy For You.” “It was inspired by a relationship that ended when I was in Nashville, and it haunted me,” she admits. “It devastated me, my ex was talking mad shit about me. It hurt. I lived to make other people happy. So, it felt like anything they said about me was true – even if it wasn’t. The only thing I could do was say, ‘If that’s the way you cope, do what...

Throughout the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Rey’s parentage was one of the most widely-discussed plot points. Following The Force Awakens, speculation was running rampant about how the supposed nobody would end up being connected to the wider mythology, because big budget blockbusters don’t drop hints like that without having some kind of major revelation in store.

However, by the time The Last Jedi arrived, Rian Johnson made it pretty clear that he had absolutely no interest whatsoever in continuing that particular story thread, and had Kylo Ren reveal in an off-handed manner that she wasn’t anyone important and had simply lucked her way into becoming a key part of the Resistance and fighting alongside some of the most famous faces in the galaxy.

Then J.J. Abrams returned for The Rise of Skywalker and attempted to retcon as much as humanly possible from the previous installment, and decided...

Title: "Duchess of Mandalore"

Writer/Director: Drew Z. Greenberg / Brian Kalin O'Connell

Tagline: "In war, truth is the first casualty."

Story: The three-episode Mandalorian arc closes with "Duchess," but we'll likely see more of the fan-favorite people before too long. Duchess Satine (Anna Graves) arrives safely on Coruscant with her entourage and Jedi escort Obi-Wan Kenobi (James Arnold Taylor), only to face a danger of a different stripe: the Republic Senate. The current item on their docket is deciding whether or not a Republic occupation of neutral Mandalore is necessary in order to halt the expansion of the Death Watch. Chancellor Palpatine (Ian Abercrombie) might just get his way too, after a recording surfaces that indicates Satine may not be as in control of her people as she believes.

A Fanbase Divided: As far as these episodes go, there are two kinds of fans: the people who appreciate how the...

Lucasfilm's "Duchess of Mandalore" is the February 12 episode of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars".

"...'Duchess Satine Kryze' tries to keep the 'Republic' from interfering in 'Mandalorian' affairs after attacks by the 'Death Watch', the splinter group advocating a return to the old warrior ways.

But when Satine herself is attacked and framed, she sets off -- against the better judgment of her 'Jedi' protectors -- to uncover the full breadth of the conspiracy and the faction's true origins.

No longer content to operate from the fringes, the mysterious Mandalorian Death Watch now sets its sights on the Duchess..."

"Satine is struggling with many fires now, and trying to keep them from merging into one large inferno that can't be put out," said actress Anna Graves, the voice of 'Satine' in The Clone Wars.

Another season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is coming to a close and the universe of Star Wars is continuing to expand.

Now, Duchess Satine Kryze will try to keep the Republic from interfering in Mandalorian affairs after attacks by the Death Watch, the splinter group advocating a return to the old warrior ways. "Satine is struggling with many fires now, and trying to keep them from merging into one large inferno that can't be put out,” says Anna Graves, the voice of Satine in The Clone Wars. “She wants peace above all else, and will shout it as loud as she can. Historical pacifists are often met with more hatred and violence, but that seems to push someone like Satine to fight for peace even harder. I think with any culture that ...
