When we think about the Star Wars sequel trilogy, most of us remember the focus on Rey as the new hero. However, many fans believe that Finn, played by John Boyega, was the character who should have taken center stage. From his background, to his arc, to the incredible missed opportunities for storytelling, there’s a …

I was rewatching The Clone Wars recently, and a question popped into my head: why don’t the Jedi just use the Force to stop General Grievous? I mean, he’s not Force-sensitive, couldn’t they just pin him down with their powers and call it a day? Why even bother with the lightsaber duels? It’s one of …
Grievous might’ve been built to fight Jedi, but there were a few Force users he really didn’t want to mess with. I’m talking about the kind of people who made him hesitate, back off, or straight up run. And out of all the Jedi and Sith in the galaxy, there were only three who actually …
I think we can all agree that Mace Windu was one of the strongest Jedi Masters ever. But even he had moments that haunted him—choices he wished he could redo. There’s one decision in particular that he really struggled with, and it’s all connected to the Battle of Geonosis. Mace Windu Faces a Critical Moment …
I’ve rewatched the final scene of The Rise of Skywalker so many times, and one part that always hits me is when Rey lies on the ground in Exegol, completely drained, and calls out, “Be with me.” It’s one of those moments that gets better every time because you start catching all the voices of …
Anakin Skywalker was easily one of the most powerful Jedi of his time. He was a war hero, a prodigy, and Palpatine’s favorite. But despite all that, when he was finally given a seat on the Jedi Council in Revenge of the Sith, they refused to grant him the rank of Jedi Master. And he …
Okay, I know this sounds wild, but yeah—Luke Skywalker, the guy who helped redeem Darth Vader, ended up falling in love with one of Palpatine’s most loyal agents. And not just that, he actually married her. Her name was Mara Jade. And she used to be the Emperor’s Hand. She Was Literally Trained to Kill …
The Republic Commando books gave us some of the most underrated, emotionally complex stories in Star Wars. And nothing sticks with me more than the love story between Darman, a clone commando, and Etain Tur-Mukan, a Jedi Padawan – yeah, a Jedi. The one thing the Jedi Code says you absolutely can’t have: attachments. And …
So, Palpatine actually had a pretty interesting take on what would’ve happened if Yoda had gone after Vader instead of Obi-Wan. And let’s just say, he wasn’t exactly confident in his apprentice’s ability to win. What Palpatine Really Thought Would Happen If Yoda Faced Vader In , we get a glimpse into Palpatine’s thoughts on this …
I’ve always thought Order 66 was just about wiping out the Jedi. But the more I looked into it, the more it became clear: it was about getting rid of any Force-sensitive who could stand in Palpatine’s way. It wasn’t just Jedi who were hunted down. There were others too, and their stories change how …
