When I first learned that R2-D2 wasn’t purely a robot, my mind was blown. Turns out, back in the ’70s, technology wasn’t reliable enough to make R2 fully robotic. Instead, Kenny Baker, an actor, actually got inside the droid to make those iconic moves. I can’t imagine the tight squeeze, but it totally worked! I …

Mace Windu wasn’t just any Jedi. He was one of the highest-ranking members of the Jedi Council, incredibly powerful in the Force, and had significant political connections. If Mace had survived his encounter with Palpatine, he would have posed a huge threat to the newly-formed Empire. The Empire would have considered him too dangerous to …
Remember that epic moment when Obi-Wan Kenobi used a Force Jump after Darth Maul kicked him off a ledge in “The Phantom Menace”? As a kid, I was super impressed and a bit jealous because I couldn’t do it in the games! But why don’t we see more of these jaw-dropping jumps? It turns out …
The thing about the Jedi who perished in the initial wave of attacks is that they had no clue what was happening. There was no time to process the events unfolding around them. They had to immediately go on the defensive against the very brothers they had fought alongside for years. These Jedi died feeling …
I’ve always been fascinated by Count Dooku. He wasn’t your typical Jedi or Sith—he saw the corruption in the Republic and wanted to change it. But Sidious manipulated him, turning those good intentions into something darker. Without that interference, I think Dooku could’ve been one of the greatest leaders the galaxy had ever seen. Count …
We all know Darth Sidious didn’t respect the Jedi. To him, they were naive, blind to the truth, and easy to manipulate. He spent years planning their destruction, and by the time Revenge of the Sith hit its peak, he had pulled it off almost perfectly. But here’s the thing: not all Jedi were equal …
In the Star Wars universe—whether we’re talking Legends or Canon—we’ve seen just how terrifying it can be when a Jedi falls to the dark side. From Revan and Exar Kun in the Old Republic era to Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker in the films, some of the galaxy’s most dangerous threats were once protectors of …
We all know Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one, is one of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy. But remember that epic duel on Mustafar? Obi-Wan Kenobi somehow matched Anakin’s mighty Force push. How did he do it? Something About the Force and Force Sensitivity First, let’s talk about what being Force-sensitive means. It’s …
After watching Anakin and Obi-Wan get absolutely wrecked by Dooku, I started asking myself: What went so wrong? Turns out, it’s not just about Dooku being insanely skilled—it’s also about the Jedi’s exhaustion, their tactics, and, honestly, a little bit of overconfidence. Here’s my take on why Dooku came out on top. 1. Count Dooku …
I’ve always thought: if lightsabers were such a threat, why didn’t the Separatists just build an army of droids that could block them? After digging into the actual story behind those droids, it turns out they tried. And the reason they didn’t stick with it tells us a lot about how the Clone Wars really …
