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 …
When people ask “Who were the first Jedi?” they usually mean it literally. They want a founder. A first Grand Master. Somebody you can point to and say, that’s where it started. So instead of guessing, here’s what we actually know so far about the very beginning of the Jedi Order in canon. The First …
Most fans know Darth Vader as Luke Skywalker’s father. But that wasn’t the plan when George Lucas first started writing. In the early versions of Star Wars, Vader and Anakin were two different characters. Luke’s father was a fallen Jedi. Vader was just the enemy. The twist didn’t exist yet—and the backstory looked very different …
The Clone Army is one of the biggest purchases in galactic history, and the wild part is it happens in secret. Long before the Senate debates a budget, long before the Jedi even realize what’s been set in motion, Kamino is already growing soldiers by the millions. So the real mystery isn’t just who placed …
Boba Fett is one of those Star Wars characters who feels like a single, iconic person… even though he’s actually been built by a whole lineup of performers. Throughout the saga, we only see one Boba Fett on screen—but did you know eight different actors have played him in some form, whether that’s in the …
