Not every character in Star Wars gets to look cool. Some are Jedi, some are smugglers, some are Sith Lords, but a few just have really unfortunate hair. Sometimes it’s a cultural thing.

In Rogue One, during the fighting on Jedha, there’s a moment that’s easy to miss unless you’re looking for it. One of the AT-AT walkers has a clean hole blasted straight through its body. Not scorch marks. Not surface damage. A literal hole. That’s strange, because AT-ATs are supposed to be walking tanks. They’re built …

After Darth Vader dies in Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker is the only person left who knows the full truth about who Vader really was. To the galaxy, Vader dies as a Sith Lord and the Emperor’s enforcer. But to Luke, he dies as Anakin Skywalker, his father. That leads to a bigger question. …

The Death Star interrogation is a scene everyone remembers, but it’s also a scene that leaves a lot unsaid. The film shows Leia being restrained and questioned, but it doesn’t show the full process. If you want a clearer picture of what she went through, the novels fill in the gaps. The Rise and Fall …

Sidious defeated Yoda on Coruscant, drove him into exile, and spent years telling himself the Jedi were finished.
