5 Actors Who Almost Played Han Solo

I keep running into this idea that even Yoda was a little afraid of Mace Windu — not because Mace could beat him in a duel, but because he stood closer to the dark than almost any other Jedi on the Council. But we never actually see that conversation, or hear Yoda say it himself. …

Darth Sidious—Emperor Palpatine—was definitely the one above everything in the Star Wars galaxy. Under his rule, there were no Force-wielders left who could truly threaten him anymore. That’s why the day Palpatine realized Yoda was dead should’ve been the moment he felt happiest. But somehow, it was also the moment he felt the most afraid. …

Tokyo, January 10, 2026 — All Nippon Airways’ (ANA) iconic Star Wars C-3PO Boeing 777-200ER has completed its final flight, marking the end of a dazzling chapter in aviation history. The aircraft, registered JA743A, operated flight NH270 from Fukuoka to Tokyo Haneda on January 9, closing the curtain on nearly nine years of cinematic magic …

Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One. Born of the Force itself. Trained by Obi-Wan, prophesied by the Jedi, and feared by the Sith. Even before he turned, everyone around him knew how powerful he was—and how much more dangerous he could become. But that future never happened.  And according to George Lucas, Anakin wasn’t the …

We’ve all seen the photos—George Lucas visiting The Mandalorian set, standing next to Grogu, chatting with Dave Filoni. And by all public signs, he’s been quietly supportive of the show. No public complaints. No dramatic interviews. Just the sense that he was happy Star Wars was in good hands. But he did raise one concern.  …

Tarkin dying on the Death Star feels like it should be one of the biggest losses the Empire ever takes. He’s the guy running the station, the guy with the Doctrine, the guy Palpatine trusted to squeeze entire systems into line. And yet there’s a reason this question keeps coming up among fans: was Palpatine …

On paper, the math doesn’t make sense. Yoda is the Jedi Grand Master, the guy everyone treats like the final boss of the light side… and yet he can’t put Palpatine down. But Mace Windu storms into the Chancellor’s office and, for a minute, it looks like he’s straight-up dog walking Sidious. So what gives? …

Anakin Skywalker usually gets along with clone troopers fast. He treats them like people, not numbers. He fights beside them, jokes with them, and you can tell he actually cares what happens to them. So it’s kind of hilarious when one clone shows up and Anakin immediately looks thrown off. Not because the guy is …

We all remember the moment: Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader, cut down by Obi-Wan Kenobi on the lava shores of Mustafar. Burned, broken, left for dead—until Palpatine arrives. For years, fans have debated how exactly Obi-Wan managed to defeat the most powerful Jedi of his generation. But in the novel Dark Lord: The Rise of …

I’ve always treated the Hutts as background crime bosses—big slugs on thrones, feeding people to rancors and making threats. But when you start looking at what their clans and cartels actually do every day, it’s a lot worse than one slimy gangster on Tatooine. Slavery, spice, piracy, gunrunning, death sports, extortion—most of the really ugly …
