The Phantom Menace might seem like the obvious title for Darth Maul — the menacing Sith Lord who terrorized Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace. But did you know the title of “Phantom Menace” actually refers to someone else entirely? According to George Lucas, the true “Phantom Menace” isn’t the red-faced, double-bladed …

According to Wookieepedia, Dagobah has a diameter of 8,954 miles, roughly half the surface area of Earth. So the odds of Luke randomly landing within walking distance of Yoda’s hut? Practically zero. Yet somehow, when he descends through the clouds in The Empire Strikes Back, he ends up right where he needs to be So …
Among all the Jedi Masters of the Republic, Plo Koon always stood out — calm, wise, and respected by everyone from the clones who served under him to the Council members who sat beside him. But behind that quiet strength was something the Jedi Order never talked about. What truly made Plo Koon different wasn’t …
Wait… has anyone actually thought about this? When a TIE Fighter misses, where does that laser even go? Like, does it just keep flying? Is there a random blaster bolt still drifting through space from some battle decades ago? Because space doesn’t have walls, it’s not like it just stops. So theoretically, there could be …
You know that red astromech droid from A New Hope — the one Uncle Owen almost bought before R2-D2? The one that blew his motivator and made the galaxy’s biggest last-minute swap possible? Yeah.

I watched Attack of the Clones last night and honestly… how does Padmé fall for this guy? Every time Anakin talks to her, he sounds like a walking red flag. He’s intense, moody, and somehow manages to make flirting sound like a hostage situation. The man goes from “I hate sand” to “I’m haunted by …
You might not realize it, but Star Wars has a long history with Irish actors. From the Jedi Council to the First Order, Ireland’s been quietly shaping the galaxy for decades. Some of these actors you probably know right away, others might make you go, “Wait, they’re Irish?” Either way, here’s a list that proves …
Tarkin has always been one of those characters who never really fit the Republic, even when he was serving it. During the Clone Wars, he followed orders, wore the uniform, and fought under the Republic’s banner — but everything about the way he talked and acted felt… Imperial. He believed in control, in fear, in …
If you’ve seen The Mandalorian Season 1 finale, you probably remember the moment Moff Gideon’s TIE fighter went down in flames over Nevarro. Then — out of the wreckage — a black blade slices through the metal, and Gideon climbs out holding the Darksaber. Easily one of the coolest surprise reveals in Star Wars history. …
I love when a tiny behind the scenes detail unlocks the whole vibe of a movie. Ron Howard says that before he agreed to take over Solo: A Star Wars Story, he called George Lucas for a little guidance. Lucas kept it simple: “Just do not forget — it is for 12-year-old boys.” Howard says …
