Kenobi-era fans mostly know Wullf Yularen as Anakin’s no-nonsense admiral in The Clone Wars. Original Trilogy fans know him as the white-uniformed ISB officer sitting at the Death Star conference table in A New Hope. Same face, same mustache, but a completely different job. Somewhere between the end of the Clone Wars and the start …

Owen and Beru’s deaths are one of those Star Wars moments we all know by heart: Luke sees the smoke, runs back to the homestead, and finds the only family he’s ever known burned in the sand. The film never shows us how that order was given, or what Vader actually knew about the people …
When the Separatists launched their massive assault on Kamino in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it looked like a major strategic threat. After all, Kamino was where every clone in the Grand Army of the Republic was born, the very heart of the Republic’s military power. Losing it could’ve crippled the war effort entirely. So …
After rescuing Leia from the Empire, Luke and Han Solo end up trapped in a garbage compactor. The walls are closing in, water’s rising, everyone’s panicking, and Han does the most Han thing possible: he pulls out his blaster and shoots the door. Instead of blowing it open, the bolt slams into the metal and …
When Jango drops a seismic charge in Attack of the Clones, most of us just sit there and enjoy it. Slave I flies low through the asteroid field, a flat disc falls out the back, there’s a brief pause, and then a blue wave snaps out and slices rocks clean in half while Obi-Wan tries …
If you’ve ever played, or at least watched, the scene where Galen Marek, a.k.a. Starkiller, meets Yoda on Dagobah in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, you probably remember how simple it looked. Yoda guides him toward the dark side cave, helping him see a vision that points him toward his destiny. But what most …
This is one of those questions that keeps coming back to me: should Grand Admiral Thrawn have been the main villain of the sequel trilogy instead of Emperor Palpatine? The Rise of Skywalker dragged Palpatine back with almost no setup on screen. Meanwhile, sitting right there in the toolbox, you’ve got Thrawn: the guy who, …
We all know Order 66 — the day the clones turned on their Jedi generals and everything fell apart. But what if I told you there were other orders? Ones that never made it into the movies. Hidden in the same list was Order 37, a command the Republic hoped it would never have to …
Darth Vader isn’t the kind of guy you joke with. You don’t sass him, you don’t question him, and you definitely don’t bring up his past life as Anakin Skywalker. But Grand Admiral Thrawn? He didn’t get that memo. Somehow, Thrawn managed to do what nobody else in the galaxy would dare, he trolled Darth …
You’d think the Disney-era lightsabers would be the best we’ve ever had, right? Turns out Ewan McGregor doesn’t think so. In fact, he straight-up prefers the prequel lightsabers he used 20 years ago — and his reason is way more interesting. The Prequel Lightsabers Hit Like Real Weapons In a recent interview, Ewan described how …
