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. While some fans found them charming, others saw …
We’ve all seen Maul and Obi-Wan clash, first in the Prequels, then again in The Clone Wars, and finally in their brief but powerful duel in Rebels. But what I didn’t know until recently is that Obi-Wan actually took the time to reflect on Maul’s death afterward. In his personal diary, he wrote about that …
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.

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 …
The term “Chosen One” is something every Star Wars fan knows by heart. The entire Skywalker Saga revolves around it — Anakin’s journey from slave to Jedi, his fall to the dark side, and his ultimate redemption when he finally restores balance to the Force. But here’s something you might not know: the Sith had …
You ever come across a Star Wars moment so awkward you have to stop and reread it just to make sure it really happened? That’s exactly how I felt when I found out that in Legends, Obi-Wan Kenobi literally walked in on Anakin and Padmé during their little “vacation.” That’s right — Mr. Jedi Code …
Back in The Phantom Menace, we saw young Anakin Skywalker growing up in Mos Espa, racing pods and spending his days with a small circle of friends — Kitster, the loyal human who always had his back, and Wald, the mischievous Rodian who loved to tease him. They were there to cheer when Anakin won …
