We usually think of Darth Vader as untouchable—the Emperor’s right hand, feared across the galaxy, and answerable to no one but Palpatine himself. But there was one time, early in the Empire, when that image cracked. I’m talking about the moment an Imperial Governor didn’t just question Vader’s actions—he straight up reported him to Palpatine. …
Ever catch yourself re-watching Attack of the Clones and thinking, “Hold up—Obi-Wan just spent five days alone in that broom-closet of a Delta-7 and never once cracked the canopy. Where’d he even… y’know… go?” You’re not alone. The Coruscant-to-Kamino hop clocks in at roughly five standard days in hyperspace, and a Jedi starfighter is basically …
On Endor, an Imperial officer heard Luke call Vader his father. It happened after Luke had turned himself in to be taken to Vader. This character has a minor role in Return of the Jedi. Yet, his story reveals that he found out about Vader’s secret and that he had formerly fought on the side …

By the time you’ve read the title, you probably already know where this is going, right? Yes — when Anakin was still just a young boy, he had a dream about Darth Vader… and it’s canon. It’s a small moment tucked away in the Star Wars comics, easy to miss if you’re not looking for …
When Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side, he thought he was stepping into unlimited power. We saw Palpatine promise him the secrets to cheat death, save Padmé, and unlock abilities no Jedi could teach. But once he became Darth Vader, we never actually see Palpatine mention Padmé again—or offer any Force abilities related to …
For the first time ever, Star Wars fans with very deep pockets have a shot at owning one of the most legendary movie props in cinema history: the actual lightsaber wielded by Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Propstore, one of the world’s leading movie memorabilia auction houses, is …
If you’ve ever rewatched The Empire Strikes Back and found yourself yelling at the screen, “Luke, help your co-pilot!” — you’re not alone. I do it every time. The moment is quick, chaotic, and brutal, so it’s easy to think Luke just bailed on Dak when their snowspeeder went down during the Battle of Hoth. …
