How Old Is Embo in Star Wars?

At the end of Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker is left in one of the worst situations imaginable. After losing the duel to Obi-Wan on Mustafar, he’s burned, mutilated, and lying helpless on the edge of a lava river. For a brief moment, it really feels like that’s the end of him. But then …

We all remember that moment on Utapau. Obi-Wan is riding Boga across the sinkhole, Cody gets the transmission from Palpatine, and within seconds the clones turn their guns on him. Then Obi-Wan gets blasted off the wall and disappears into the depths below. And because Obi-Wan survives, a lot of fans have asked the same …

Today, the moment when Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker “I am your father” is probably the most famous twist in movie history. But what makes that scene even more fascinating is that Mark Hamill himself didn’t know the truth at first either. When The Empire Strikes Back was being filmed, the production was extremely careful …

Darth Maul is one of the most memorable villains in The Phantom Menace, but if you go back and watch the movie again, you might notice something surprising. He barely speaks. Most of the time he’s completely silent, letting his presence and his double-bladed lightsaber do the talking. But when Maul returns in The Clone …

If you’ve ever seen that short clip of Carrie Fisher roasting George Lucas on stage, it wasn’t from some random comedy show. It happened during George Lucas’ AFI Life Achievement Award tribute in 2005. And Carrie being Carrie, she didn’t walk up there to deliver a normal “thank you for changing cinema” speech. She opened …

Here’s a funny Return of the Jedi behind-the-scenes detail I never really thought about until Mark Hamill said it out loud. While filming Luke’s scenes with the Emperor, Hamill realized he basically didn’t know what Ian McDiarmid looked like as a normal person, because he only ever saw him buried under hours of Emperor makeup. …

We all remember how Revenge of the Sith leaves Anakin on Mustafar, burned, screaming, and barely alive while Obi-Wan walks away. But the movie doesn’t stay with that moment for long. It cuts from Mustafar to other scenes, and before you know it, Anakin is already on an operating table becoming Darth Vader. That jump …

Most Sith stories start the same way: a war, a betrayal, a body count, and a new Dark Lord climbing up the ladder. But here’s a weird one from Legends: there’s a Sith Lord people point to as the exception — someone who didn’t seem obsessed with conquering the galaxy or wiping out the Jedi. …
