I’ve always thought of the Emperor’s Royal Guards as silent statues in red armor. They stood in the shadows, never speaking, never moving unless ordered. But there was a time when two of them stepped forward and followed Darth Vader into danger. Their story began with an explosion inside the Emperor’s throne room (took place …
I came across a thread the other day where people were debating Luke’s exile on Ahch-To. He calls it “the most unfindable place in the galaxy,” but then there’s this whole “map to Luke Skywalker” plot in The Force Awakens. At first glance it feels like a contradiction. So I dug into it more, and …
When Anakin Skywalker gave his life to save Luke on the Death Star, he returned to the light for one final moment.

On her podcast The Sackhoff Show, while talking with her Battlestar Galactica co-star Tahmoh Penikett, she admitted that …
Darth Maul’s eyes have always stood out. Bright yellow, rimmed with red, and locked in place no matter what’s going on around him. Other dark-siders slip in and out of that look, but with Maul, it’s constant. That raises the big question: is it just the dark side, or is he naturally built that way? …
When people talk about the Jedi who escaped the Purge, names like Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi always come up first. But the truth is, the Jedi who shook Emperor Palpatine to his core wasn’t a warrior or a general. It was Jocasta Nu, the elderly Chief Librarian of the Jedi Archives. To Palpatine, she was …
