MUCH TO LEARN YOU STILL HAVE: 7 THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT TOGRUTAS

Much to Learn You Still Have is a rundown of trivia and fun facts, both in-universe and behind-the-scenes, about the aliens of the Star Wars galaxy. Whether you’ve never set foot in a cantina or you’re a well-traveled Jedi Master, you’ll find the intel you need. Ahsoka Tano. Shaak Ti. Governor Roshti. Though we can easily tell a Togruta by their unmistakable facial patterns and head tails, there are only a few Star Wars characters that have been given a proper storyline in the saga. Let’s take a closer look at what we do know about the beautifully fascinating Togrutas. 1. Their horns are called montrals. What sets Togrutas apart from other humanoid species is their interesting head cones, or montrals as they are properly called.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer/director Rian Johnson made a special appearance today at D23, bringing some friends and a few surprises. Here are some of the highlights. 1. That sizzle.

5 HIGHLIGHTS FROM STAR WARS FORCES OF DESTINY: “THE PADAWAN PATH”

Ahsoka Tano’s fate in Star Wars Rebels may still be up for debate and interpretation, but on Thursday we got a glimpse at the fan-favorite Padawan’s further adventures before she left the Jedi order. In the fourth episode of Star Wars Forces of Destiny, the micro-series deviated from its previous course, with installments that up until now were plucked from the franchise films, to focus on the small-screen heroine. Running late for her own ceremony at the Jedi Temple, Ahsoka must take a detour of her own to help some hapless citizens with a malfunctioning, massive droid on the loose. Can she do it? (Spoiler alert — She can do anything.)   SWTOR CREDITS Here are five highlights from the short, “The Padawan Path” — which you can watch below! 1. Snips and SkyGuy, together again. Voice actor Ashley Eckstein hinted at the reunion of master and learner when she tweeted a photo of herself and the man behind animated Anakin’s swagger, Matt Lanter, in the recording studio togethe
