With Padmé’s death at the end of Revenge of the Sith, it always felt like the Skywalker twins were robbed of something deeply human—the chance to truly know their mother. By the time of Return of the Jedi, Leia recalls faint impressions of Padmé, but Luke admits he remembers nothing at all. For him, his …

We’ve seen Ahsoka a lot throughout The Clone Wars, and her look was always pretty consistent. Every episode, her facial markings and lekku patterns stayed the same—even in the Mortis arc, where she appears older in that vision, her lekku just grow longer but the pattern stays the same. But then Rebels comes around, and …
When Luke Skywalker landed on Dagobah, he thought he was going to meet a wise old Jedi Master. Instead, he got a tiny green troll who stole his dinner, whacked him with a stick, and then decided to put him through Jedi boot camp in the middle of a swamp. Yoda might look harmless, but …
Sometimes the best Star Wars stories don’t come from the screen — they come from behind the scenes. And honestly, this one is one of my favorites. Imagine showing up for work one day, and George Lucas himself strolls onto set, takes a look around, and casually decides your Star Wars character’s name. That’s exactly …
The term “Chosen One” is something every Star Wars fan knows by heart. The entire Skywalker Saga revolves around it — Anakin’s journey from slave to Jedi, his fall to the dark side, and his ultimate redemption when he finally restores balance to the Force. But here’s something you might not know: the Sith had …
You ever come across a Star Wars moment so awkward you have to stop and reread it just to make sure it really happened? That’s exactly how I felt when I found out that in Legends, Obi-Wan Kenobi literally walked in on Anakin and Padmé during their little “vacation.” That’s right — Mr. Jedi Code …
Back in The Phantom Menace, we saw young Anakin Skywalker growing up in Mos Espa, racing pods and spending his days with a small circle of friends — Kitster, the loyal human who always had his back, and Wald, the mischievous Rodian who loved to tease him. They were there to cheer when Anakin won …
Quick trivia for you, during the Original Trilogy, how many times did Vader use a Force choke on an Imperial officer? The answer’s four. Sure, you might argue there are more depending on how you count, but here’s the point: in the movies, Vader’s pretty free to use his “wizard space magic” on anyone who …
We all remember the cave on Dagobah. Vader’s mask cracks, smoke spills out, and Luke sees his own face staring back. Back then there was no CGI like we see in modern films, so the crew relied on practical effects and props. We hear about props all over Empire, and many of us assumed this …
The Mustafar scene will not leave my head. I have watched it so many times it feels like it lives there rent free. However, over the weekend I found an old article where Iain McCaig, the concept artist on the prequels, revealed that in an original draft of Revenge of the Sith, Padmé tried to …
