Through the Original Trilogy, we got to see the massive battle station, the Death Star, under the control of the Empire. But in the end, the Rebels destroyed it not once, but twice. Then, in the Sequels, we’re introduced to a new and even more terrifying superweapon, the Starkiller Base. Later on, we learn that …

Most Star Wars fans remember the shocking moment in Revenge of the Sith when Mace Windu is struck down during his duel with Darth Sidious, with Anakin ultimately sealing Windu’s fate by cutting off his hand. But what if that scene had played out differently? In early drafts of the script, George Lucas toyed with …
We all love Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia — she’s one of the most iconic figures in Star Wars. But behind the scenes, her journey with the franchise wasn’t as glamorous as it looked on screen. According to her longtime friend James Blunt, the pressures Fisher faced around her body image — especially when she …
So by watching Star Wars Rebels we suddenly got introduced to Concord Dawn. I mean, Star Wars has shown us plenty of different and amazing planets over the years, but Concord really stuck with me. The first time I saw it, I couldn’t get the image out of my head — the planet looks like …
When most fans think of the Tusken Raiders, the first image that pops into mind is probably the sand-masked nomads attacking Luke in A New Hope or clashing with Anakin in Attack of the Clones. They’ve always been portrayed as brutal desert warriors, but there’s actually way more to them than just being scary figures …
There’s a quiet moment in Attack of the Clones—a glance, really—that feels loaded in hindsight. As Palpatine talks about war and fear, Yoda turns and gives him a look. Not aggressive, not obvious. But enough to make you wonder: did Yoda already suspect something? Or was it just the Force whispering that something wasn’t right? …
I was scrolling Reddit the other night when a fan asked, “Does anybody know what those markings on Rebel pilot helmets mean?”—and it hit me: I’ve watched A New Hope a hundred times and never really paid attention. Now I can’t un-see them. If you’ve ever stared at Luke’s red “mohawk” stripe or those tiny …
Throughout the Original Trilogy, the term Sith Lord is completely absent. We understand the Jedi and the Sith as the two great orders tied to the Force, but in the films themselves, only the Jedi are ever named. It wasn’t until the Prequels that the Sith were formally introduced on-screen. But here’s the surprising part: …
At the end of Return of the Jedi, Luke finally sees the spirits of his Jedi Masters again — Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. What makes the moment even more powerful is the surprise appearance of his father, Anakin Skywalker, restored to the light and standing alongside them. But that wasn’t the only time Luke encountered …
If you’ve watched Revenge of the Sith after binging The Clone Wars, Anakin’s first line to General Grievous might have made you do a double-take. When the two finally meet face-to-face on the bridge of the Invisible Hand, Anakin quips: “You’re shorter than I expected.” Funny, right? Except… not really, if you remember that Anakin …
