When Darth Vader first emerged in the Imperial military structure, he didn’t arrive with titles, medals, or polite introductions. He entered the Empire like a shadow with a lightsaber – silent, unstoppable, and deeply feared. But for many in the ranks, his presence didn’t make sense at first. Why did this unknown figure suddenly speak …

You know that scene – lightsaber out, Force lightning hits it, and the Jedi stands firm. Most people think it started with the prequels, but there’s an earlier story behind that moment. I ran across something recently that connects this idea directly back to the Expanded Universe. Let’s walk through it. It First Showed Up …

2027 is shaping up to be a major year for Star Wars fans. Not only is Star Wars: A New Hope making its way back to theaters for its 50th anniversary, but Disney and Lucasfilm are also bringing two brand-new movies to the big screen — Star Wars: Starfighter and The Mandalorian and Grogu. A …

There’s always been something about ARC troopers that catches my eye. Maybe it’s the way they fight, maybe it’s the way they look.

Have you noticed how Obi-Wan is always the one getting sent out alone? And we’re not talking side quests, these were the kinds of missions that could shift the entire war.

We all remember how The Phantom Menace introduced us to Darth Maul—silent, deadly, and wielding a double-bladed lightsaber like a demon. But what if Darth Sidious had made a different move? What if, instead of unleashing his secret apprentice on Naboo, he sent Count Dooku instead? It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. Dooku was …

Most stormtroopers in Star Wars are nameless. They’re the faceless soldiers in white armor, blasting away in the background. But every so often, one of them has a story that cuts deeper than you’d expect — a story that makes you rethink the helmet, the blaster, and the “bad guy” label. TK-462’s life is one …
