You know that scene – lightsaber out, Force lightning hits it, and the Jedi stands firm. Most people think it started with the prequels, but there’s an earlier story behind that moment. I ran across something recently that connects this idea directly back to the Expanded Universe. Let’s walk through it. It First Showed Up …

2027 is shaping up to be a major year for Star Wars fans. Not only is Star Wars: A New Hope making its way back to theaters for its 50th anniversary, but Disney and Lucasfilm are also bringing two brand-new movies to the big screen — Star Wars: Starfighter and The Mandalorian and Grogu. A …
There’s always been something about ARC troopers that catches my eye. Maybe it’s the way they fight, maybe it’s the way they look. And then you start noticing — the colors, the stripes, the gear — and you wonder where all that comes from. Is it personal choice? Or were they just told, “Here’s your …
Darth Vader was the Empire’s deadliest weapon against the Jedi. In the two decades after Order 66, he hunted down hundreds, crushing nearly all of them in battle. But every legend has its cracks, and Vader’s history has a few moments he’d rather erase — the times he lost. These weren’t draws or close calls. …
One moment from Darth Vader (2017) #8 captures the early days of the Empire in a way few stories do. The Jedi had just fallen, the Imperial system was still adjusting, and Darth Vader himself was carving out his role as the Emperor’s right hand.

There’s something about a red lightsaber that instantly signals danger. It’s not just the color—it’s what that color means in the Star Wars universe. You see a red blade, and you know the person holding it isn’t with the Jedi anymore. But where does that red color really come from? And does every Sith have …
Most stormtroopers in Star Wars are nameless. They’re the faceless soldiers in white armor, blasting away in the background. But every so often, one of them has a story that cuts deeper than you’d expect — a story that makes you rethink the helmet, the blaster, and the “bad guy” label. TK-462’s life is one …
I came across a thread asking, “Why does Jek-14’s arm and eyes glow blue? (somehow he is actually canon)”, and it immediately caught my attention. The question is partly off – while Jek-14 is technically part of Star Wars canon, the way it’s phrased makes it unclear, especially when it brings up his glowing arm …
I came across a thread about a scene in Revenge of the Sith where the clones suddenly look left-handed while carrying their blasters. And that little detail got me curious, so I got deeper into it. The more I looked, the more explanations I found – some from what we see in Canon, and some …
There’s something almost unbelievable about this story. Someone actually thought it was a good idea to invite Darth Vader — the Emperor’s enforcer, fully dressed in a black robotic suit, breathing like a machine — to dance at a party. And yes, they really asked him to join in. What happened next definitely wasn’t a …
