If you haven’t played The Force Unleashed II, there’s a moment you might not know about — one that feels straight out of the movies. In the middle of his journey, Starkiller, Darth Vader’s powerful secret apprentice, ends up on Dagobah and comes face-to-face with Yoda. It’s a surprising pause in a game best known …

This is the question I think we’ve all been asked at some point: are you more like your father, or your mother? For Luke Skywalker, that question carries incredible weight. On one side is Anakin Skywalker — a Jedi Knight who fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader. On the other is Padmé …
So before the Kenobi series, most of us thought Ben Kenobi’s first reunion with Darth Vader happened aboard the Death Star in A New Hope. But in Legends, the story goes much deeper. Hidden away in the novels Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vade is an earlier moment — the first time Obi-Wan laid …
We all know Vader as the unstoppable enforcer of the Empire, the man who hunted Jedi and crushed rebels without mercy. But in the early days of his service to Palpatine, Vader wasn’t perfect. In fact, there was one mission—his first real failure—that ended with Vader humiliated, alone, and forced to reflect on how easily …
The Ewoks—yes, those tiny little creatures on the Forest Moon of Endor—helped the Rebels take down the mighty Empire. Despite playing a key role in the victory during Return of the Jedi, the Ewoks quickly became one of the most divisive parts of the Star Wars universe.

With Padmé’s death at the end of Revenge of the Sith, it always felt like the Skywalker twins were robbed of something deeply human—the chance to truly know their mother. By the time of Return of the Jedi, Leia recalls faint impressions of Padmé, but Luke admits he remembers nothing at all. For him, his …
We’ve seen Ahsoka a lot throughout The Clone Wars, and her look was always pretty consistent. Every episode, her facial markings and lekku patterns stayed the same—even in the Mortis arc, where she appears older in that vision, her lekku just grow longer but the pattern stays the same. But then Rebels comes around, and …
When Luke Skywalker landed on Dagobah, he thought he was going to meet a wise old Jedi Master. Instead, he got a tiny green troll who stole his dinner, whacked him with a stick, and then decided to put him through Jedi boot camp in the middle of a swamp. Yoda might look harmless, but …
Sometimes the best Star Wars stories don’t come from the screen — they come from behind the scenes. And honestly, this one is one of my favorites. Imagine showing up for work one day, and George Lucas himself strolls onto set, takes a look around, and casually decides your Star Wars character’s name. That’s exactly …
