So I was scrolling through Reddit the other day and saw someone ask: “If Vader had known Leia was his daughter in Episode IV, would he still have gone after her—or tried to turn her to the dark side?” And honestly, that question made me pause. Think back to the end of Return of the …

I recently rewatched Spaceballs—yeah, the ridiculous 1987 Star Wars parody with Yogurt, Lone Starr, and, of course, Dark Helmet. And while it’s meant to be a joke, I couldn’t help but notice something kinda insane… Some of the wildest gags in that movie ended up becoming real Star Wars moments—years or even decades later. Like, …
We tend to think of Palpatine’s manipulation of Anakin in Revenge of the Sith as the big moment — the final move that dragged him to the dark side. But did you know Palpatine was already working on Anakin years earlier, back when he was still just a young Padawan? In the Obi-Wan & Anakin …
The Rise of Skywalker may have wrapped up the Skywalker saga, but what we saw on screen was only part of the story. Behind the scenes, concept artists, writers, and designers explored some truly wild ideas, scenes that were sketched, discussed, and in some cases even filmed, but never made it to the final cut. …
When we think of Emperor Palpatine, we picture the cackling Sith Master pulling strings from the shadows, manipulating everyone until the galaxy crumbles right into his hands. But what if I told you his most sinister tricks weren’t even in the movies we saw? In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine’s manipulation of Anakin is already …

In the chaos of the Clone Wars, Yoda was forced into a choice no Jedi should ever face, killing his oldest friend to prevent a greater loss of life. This story plays out in Star Wars: Clone Wars — The Best Blades , a one-shot comic from 2004 in the Legends timeline, and it remains …
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 …
