I was just doom scrolling on Reddit the other day when I stumbled across a random thread that instantly grabbed my attention. It showed a Rebel soldier on Endor getting captured—nothing unusual at first glance—until you notice something weird. The guy’s wearing Stormtrooper armor. Not a full set, but definitely Imperial gear. And he’s clearly …

We all remember Vader’s fateful betrayal in Return of the Jedi, when he turned on his master to save Luke. But what if I told you that wasn’t the only time Vader committed treason against the Emperor? In fact, Star Wars comics give us an earlier story where Palpatine himself had to deal with Vader’s …
We all know Darth Vader for his Force choke — it’s his signature move, especially when he’s “disciplining” Imperial officers. But what I love even more is when Vader shows his full power right in front of his enemies. That’s when you really see how terrifying he actually is. And one comic moment takes it …
An interesting point was recently raised in fan discussions. Given the fact that recovering the stolen Death Star plans was so important, why didn’t Vader use Death troopers to get them back? We might think Death Troopers were not the right type of soldier, but time had more to do with it. In-Universe Reason Why …
We all remember the opening of A New Hope. The Tantive IV is under siege, Vader’s Star Destroyer reels it in, and within minutes, stormtroopers burst through the door and wipe the floor with the Rebel crew. But looking back at it now… were there better ways they could’ve handled that? I’m not saying they …
Most fans know Han Solo’s great love story with Princess Leia Organa. But long before he became a general in the Rebellion, Han’s personal life was full of surprises — including a marriage that almost nobody talks about. Canon sources from comics and novels reveal a side of Han that’s less about blasters and hyperdrives, …
Did you know that in The Empire Strikes Back, C-3PO was almost destroyed for good? We all remember him getting blasted and torn apart on Cloud City, right? But what most people don’t know is—he was this close to being scrapped completely… until Darth Vader stepped in. Why would Vader care? Because deep down, he …
Stormtroopers weren’t exactly known for their individuality. For the most part, they were nameless, disposable soldiers of the Empire—until the credits rolled and they disappeared into history. But every rule has an exception. After the fall of the Empire, one stormtrooper refused to vanish. Instead, he rose through the criminal underworld, stole Tarkin’s old ship, …
I have to admit, one of the funniest things in Star Wars isn’t meant to be funny at all—it’s Palpatine roasting Darth Vader. We all know Vader as this unstoppable force, the guy everyone fears. But every so often, Palpatine cuts him down with a single line, and it’s so sharp it almost feels like …
There’s something strangely satisfying about watching characters in Star Wars make the worst possible assumptions, especially when those assumptions involve Darth Vader. One moment from the comics captures this perfectly. It’s brief, easy to miss, but if you catch it, it sticks with you: Jabba the Hutt, one of the galaxy’s most feared crime lords, …
