This is one of those Star Wars questions that pops up all the time — and for good reason. The first Death Star took something like 20 years to build, and then a few years later in Return of the Jedi, the Empire already has another one nearly ready to fire. How’d they pull that …

I used to wonder what those little metal sticks were on the chests of Imperial officers. You know, the ones tucked neatly into their uniforms in almost every scene from A New Hope all the way to Andor and The Mandalorian. For a while, I thought maybe they were pens, or maybe just something for …
I’ve read a lot of Star Wars stories, but the one where Vader sees Padmé again in the Darth Vader: Darth Lord of The Sith (2017) comic series? That one hit different. It wasn’t some sweet reunion or peaceful closure. It was brutal – both emotionally and in the way only Vader knows how to …
We’ve all seen stormtroopers miss every shot they take – but their helmets? Surprisingly advanced. Beneath the plastoid shell is a full suite of life-support tech, sensors, comms, and more. It’s way more than just a face-covering bucket. A lot of this breakdown comes straight from Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, which gives a …
What if I told you the Rebel Alliance could have had a droid army… but chose not to? It sounds wild, but it’s true. After the Clone Wars, battle droids were scattered across the galaxy – on old battlefields, in abandoned Separatist factories, or rusting in junkyards. So why didn’t the Rebels just reboot them …
We all know how things ended between Anakin Skywalker and Count Dooku in Revenge of the Sith. One clean saber swing, and the Count’s head was off. But what most people don’t realize is that Dooku had already hated Anakin long before that moment—and not just for the usual Jedi-vs-Sith reasons. Turns out, the thing …

Lorna Rooke, who worked at NHS Blood and Transplant, was away from her desk on a call during a Star Wars-themed Myers-Briggs-style personality quiz. A colleague completed the quiz on her behalf and later announced to the team …
In the Star Wars universe, the Hutts are usually known for crime, greed, and power—not lightsabers and selflessness. From Jabba the Hutt to the wider Hutt Cartel, their entire species is often seen as the exact opposite of what it means to be a Jedi. So when I came across the story of Beldorion the …
Tony Gilroy, the writer and showrunner behind Andor, recently opened up about the only conversation he’s ever had with George Lucas. It happened right after Rogue One came out. As Gilroy shared in a Deadline interview, “George Lucas called me after Rogue, I had a 45-minute conversation with him after he saw Rogue One, and …
We all know Anakin had R2-D2 by his side during the Clone Wars. That little guy was more than just a tool – he was a partner, even a friend. But after Anakin became Vader, he didn’t keep R2 around. He made a clean break, and that included replacing his droid. Flying the Same Starfighter …
