We all remember the cave on Dagobah. Vader’s mask cracks, smoke spills out, and Luke sees his own face staring back. Back then there was no CGI like we see in modern films, so the crew relied on practical effects and props. We hear about props all over Empire, and many of us assumed this …

The Mustafar scene will not leave my head. I have watched it so many times it feels like it lives there rent free. However, over the weekend I found an old article where Iain McCaig, the concept artist on the prequels, revealed that in an original draft of Revenge of the Sith, Padmé tried to …
As a Star Wars fan just like everyone, rewatching the films is one of the best experiences for me. Every time we revisit them, we come away with a different point of view compared to the very first watch. Take Luke’s duel on Death Star Two, there are many theories about that fight. But when …
“Guards, leave us.” That is one of the last orders Palpatine gives his Royal Guards as Luke walks in with Darth Vader near the end of Return of the Jedi. I came across a Reddit thread asking the same thing I wondered, where did those guards go and what happened to them. My first reaction …
I was just doom scrolling on Reddit the other day when I stumbled across a random thread that instantly grabbed my attention. It showed a Rebel soldier on Endor getting captured—nothing unusual at first glance—until you notice something weird. The guy’s wearing Stormtrooper armor. Not a full set, but definitely Imperial gear. And he’s clearly …
We all remember Vader’s fateful betrayal in Return of the Jedi, when he turned on his master to save Luke. But what if I told you that wasn’t the only time Vader committed treason against the Emperor? In fact, Star Wars comics give us an earlier story where Palpatine himself had to deal with Vader’s …
We all know Darth Vader for his Force choke — it’s his signature move, especially when he’s “disciplining” Imperial officers. But what I love even more is when Vader shows his full power right in front of his enemies. That’s when you really see how terrifying he actually is. And one comic moment takes it …
An interesting point was recently raised in fan discussions. Given the fact that recovering the stolen Death Star plans was so important, why didn’t Vader use Death troopers to get them back? We might think Death Troopers were not the right type of soldier, but time had more to do with it. In-Universe Reason Why …
We all remember the opening of A New Hope. The Tantive IV is under siege, Vader’s Star Destroyer reels it in, and within minutes, stormtroopers burst through the door and wipe the floor with the Rebel crew. But looking back at it now… were there better ways they could’ve handled that? I’m not saying they …
Most fans know Han Solo’s great love story with Princess Leia Organa. But long before he became a general in the Rebellion, Han’s personal life was full of surprises — including a marriage that almost nobody talks about. Canon sources from comics and novels reveal a side of Han that’s less about blasters and hyperdrives, …
