The Death Star was a moon-sized battle station with the power to destroy planets—something you’d think would be impossible to hide. But for years, the Empire managed to keep it out of sight, even from many of its own people. Here’s how they pulled it off. 1. Everything Was Compartmentalized The Empire divided the Death …

Most people remember the big moments between Vader and Luke from the movies, but there’s one fight that happened shortly after A New Hope that not everyone talks about. It’s from Marvel’s Star Wars (2015) comic, and it shows the actual first time Vader met Luke face-to-face—and what’s wild is that he came across his …

Every time I rewatch the Geonosis battle or hop back into Battlefront II, I keep wondering the same thing: why is that poor clone just chilling out in the open on top of the AT-TE? You’ve got this massive armored walker with thick side plating and six legs that can handle rough terrain – but …

After months of excitement, Lucasfilm just hit the brakes on one of its biggest upcoming projects—again. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s untitled Star Wars film, featuring the much-hyped return of Daisy Ridley as Rey, has officially been put “on hold,” according to entertainment insider Daniel Richtman. And no, it’s not canceled—but it’s also not moving forward any time …

If the Death Star could wipe out a planet in one shot, and the stolen plans ended up on Tatooine, then why didn’t the Empire just blow up the whole place? It seems like a simple fix. But once I started digging through the details, it turns out there were solid reasons they didn’t go …

I used to think those little colored tiles on Imperial uniforms were just cool costume details. But once I really looked into them, I realized they’re actually a full ranking system hiding in plain sight. The colors, the tile count, and even how they’re arranged all reveal someone’s branch, status, and authority. It’s way more …

I’ve always found it interesting that Jedi, in a galaxy full of high-tech gear and military hardware, never bothered with shields. No wrist-mounted deflectors, no energy barriers, no sci-fi riot shields – even though they were fighting in wars and getting shot at constantly. But once I sat down and looked deeper, the pieces actually …
