Some may say Yoda and Obi-Wan made a mistake by giving up on Anakin Skywalker, that if they’d just tried a little harder, maybe he could’ve been saved before Luke came along. But if you have gone through the comic Darth Vader: Cry of Shadows, you will start to see why walking away wasn’t the …
You probably noticed it if you’ve been into The High Republic stuff and then jumped back into The Clone Wars: yellow lightsabers were everywhere during the High Republic, but almost completely gone by the time of the Clone Wars.

I’ve always wondered what Jawas actually look like. They’ve been part of Star Wars since the very beginning, yet their faces have never been shown – not in the movies, shows, or even comics. But Aftermath, a canon novel by Chuck Wendig, finally gives us a solid clue. And it’s more revealing than anything we’ve …
George R.R. Martin doesn’t post long essays when he blogs, but he doesn’t need to. In just a few paragraphs, he managed to call Andor the best Star Wars spinoff to date. That short, simple line from the creator of A Song of Ice and Fire got fans buzzing. And frankly, it deserves a closer …
The Jedi Council included some of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy, from Yoda and Mace Windu to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto.
