Have you ever stopped and wondered why Palpatine just let Yoda go after Revenge of the Sith? I mean, the guy wiped out pretty much the entire Jedi Order, and yet he didn’t even bother sending out a galaxy-wide manhunt for the Grand Master himself. It’s one of those Star Wars details that always made …
You know that scene, Mace Windu storming into Palpatine’s office, the Chancellor playing the “I’m just a weak old man” card, then BAM, he pulls out a red lightsaber and the duel begins. Classic. Except… that wasn’t always the plan. Turns out, in the original drafts and early shots of Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine …
General Grievous has always had a certain reputation in Star Wars. Tall, mechanical, draped in a cape full of stolen lightsabers—he was meant to be terrifying.

We’ve all seen the Death Star explode, twice. We cheer, the music swells, and the Rebellion wins another day. But buried in all that celebration is one of the darkest, most heartbreaking facts in Star Wars—one that barely anyone talks about. It’s not about the Rebels, or even the destruction.

But what if I told you that in George Lucas’s original script, Luke wasn’t even called Skywalker—and he wasn’t exactly the good guy either?

When we get to the final act of Rogue One, right as the team lands on Scarif, something about Jyn Erso’s look immediately stands out. She’s ditched her Rebel gear and is now wearing a sleek black outfit that looks way more Imperial than anything we’ve seen her in before. On her back, she’s carrying …
Everyone knows Jedi and Sith build their lightsabers using two main things: a hilt and a kyber crystal, just like we saw during the “The Gathering” episode in The Clone Wars. Usually, how strong a lightsaber is depends mostly on the user’s skills. But there’s actually one special type of kyber crystal that’s weaker than …
Look, we’ve all debated about the Star Wars sequels. And yeah, they definitely had their issues—plot inconsistencies, wasted potential, you name it. But sometimes it feels like the constant criticism drowns out the genuinely good things these movies did bring to the table. I decided it’s time to give credit where credit’s due. Here are …
The Clone Wars shook the entire galaxy. It wasn’t just a fight between the Republic and the Separatists—it was the beginning of everything that followed. When the war ended, the Republic fell, and the Empire rose under the control of Emperor Palpatine. We all know what happened next. The Clone Troopers were phased out and …
