We’ve all seen Luke Skywalker as the calm, collected Jedi Master — the hero who never loses control, even in the worst moments. But in Star Wars Legends, there’s a story that completely breaks that image. When his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, was killed. For the first time since the fall of his father, Luke’s …

If you put Luke’s first lightsaber next to Obi-Wan’s from the prequels, you’ll notice something weird, they’re almost the same hilt. Same emitter shape, same pommel, same silhouette. Was this just a coincidence, or is there an in-universe reason for it? Luke Literally Models It on Obi-Wan’s Hilt In canon, Luke’s second lightsaber is meant …
When Luke stands before the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, Palpatine says one of the strangest lines in the saga: “I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the Dark Side will be complete.” On the face of it, that makes no sense. This …
When we first meet Yoda, he’s a tiny old guy shuffling around with a cane, talking slowly and groaning every time he sits down. Then the prequels hit, he drops the stick, ignites a lightsaber, and suddenly he’s ricocheting off walls like a green pinball. It almost feels like we’re watching two different characters: quiet …
Looking back at the duel on Naboo, we can clearly see how aggressively Obi-Wan fought beside his master Qui-Gon Jinn. Both of them relied on Form IV — Ataru, the fast, acrobatic, high-energy style built for constant offense. But after Episode I, we never see Obi-Wan fight this way again. Instead, he switches almost completely …
Here’s something I’ve always noticed about Andor: for a story set right under the Empire’s nose, we hardly ever see stormtroopers. You’d expect white armor everywhere, the Empire’s most recognizable symbol of fear and order, but for the first season, they’re almost absent. Instead, we see corporate security, local garrisons, and officers in gray uniforms. …
Obi-Wan lets Vader strike him down and somehow becomes more present in Luke’s life. Yoda fades away on Dagobah and still trains Luke afterward. By the sequels, we have whole choruses of Jedi voices speaking from somewhere beyond the living galaxy. For years, we’ve heard the phrases — “becoming one with the Force,” the “Netherworld …
When most people picture Luke Skywalker’s life on Tatooine, they think of power converters, twin suns, and sand — lots of sand. But buried deep in Legends material, there’s a strange little detail that almost nobody talks about: Luke once had a pet. That’s right — before he became a Rebel hero or a Jedi …
If there’s one thing every Star Wars fan knows about Grand Admiral Thrawn, it’s that he doesn’t scare easily. Calm, calculating, and always ten steps ahead, Thrawn treats even Jedi and Sith like puzzles to be solved — not threats to be feared. He’s outsmarted rebels, predicted entire wars through art and strategy, and stood …
After Order 66, the Jedi were gone — but Palpatine wasn’t finished with them. He didn’t just kill the Order; he poisoned their memory. In his new Empire, Jedi like Master Plo Koon were branded as traitors who had turned their blades against the Republic. The galaxy was told that Plo died fighting clone forces …
