The duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in Star Wars: A New Hope is often seen as the slowest and least impressive lightsaber fight in the saga. Compared to the fast, acrobatic battles of the prequels or the intense clashes of the sequels, it can look simple — even clumsy — to new viewers. …

At Florida Supercon 2025, John Boyega — the actor behind Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy — didn’t hold back when asked how things would look if he had been in charge. And based on what he shared, his version of the galaxy far, far away would have taken a pretty different path from …
There’s a point in the early Empire when the mask slips—just for a moment—and a few clone troopers glimpse the truth behind it. Most of them never knew who Darth Vader really was. They didn’t question the orders, they didn’t see the man beneath the armor, and they definitely didn’t expect the Sith enforcer leading …
Mace Windu’s story in the Jedi Order doesn’t read like most others. He dedicated himself to mastering lightsaber combat and built a reputation as one of the greatest duelists in Jedi history. Yoda was probably the only one who could consistently best him in a duel. But that strength came with a dangerous edge. Mace …
The decade between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones is one of the least explored eras in the Star Wars timeline. On screen, we jump from a young boy on Tatooine to a grown Jedi Padawan standing beside his master. But in that space of ten years, some of the galaxy’s most important …
There’s a small detail in The Clone Wars that gets overlooked but always sparks curiosity. On Kamino, when the security forces chase Fives and AZI-3 through Tipoca City, the Clone Captain leading them has a single Aurebesh letter painted right across his visor: Cresh, the “C.” It’s never explained on screen, but the choice stands …
Order 66 changed everything. Clones carried it out with no hesitation, cutting down the Jedi they had fought beside for years. That part hit hard because many clones actually loved and respected their generals. Yet, when Palpatine gave the command, loyalty to the Republic turned into loyalty to the Empire. Commander Fox stood right in …
Have you ever looked at the crimson-robed figures surrounding Emperor Palpatine and wondered what they were really capable of? The Imperial Royal Guards stood at the very top of the Empire’s hierarchy, trained to handle anything and anyone that threatened their master. In the Legends universe, their story shows extreme skill, loyalty, and lethal combat …
When the Clone Wars ended and the Republic shifted into the Galactic Empire, the clones found themselves in a strange place. For years, they had fought with complete loyalty. Every battle, every order, every sacrifice was for the Republic, and later, for the Emperor’s new rule. Fighting was their purpose, their identity. So when word …
So I was re-reading Star Wars (2015) #74, and I still can’t believe how intense that whole mission with Chewie and Vader got. Yes, this was canon, and yes, Chewbacca actually went one-on-one with Darth Vader – and held his own for a while. It Started With A Simple Plan… Sort Of Chewbacca and C-3PO …
