Yoda was the Jedi Grand Master capable of defeating anyone he faced, even in his old age. Thor, a Marvel Comics hero based on the Germanic God of Thunder, has a qualification Yoda does not: He’s a god. But Yoda can wield the mysterious Force and achieve god-like qualities.  Is it enough to beat Thor?  …

The Sith used natural human emotions like fear and twisted it into negative traits like anger and hate.They also fought and killed without remorse, so it’s natural to believe they used blasters given their arsenal of superweapons. But the Sith used blasters as little as their Jedi enemies.  The Sith rarely used blasters in Star …

Baby Yoda, also known as Grogu, adds mystery to the mysterious species he, Yoda, and Yaddle belong to. Grogu was born in 41 BBY, but when The Mandalorian kicked off a half-decade after Return of the Jedi, the mysterious being was still a young child.  We don’t know whether Grogu is Yoda’s child, but evidence …

Yoda was one of the smallest Force-sensitive beings in Star Wars. But he was also among the strongest, demonstrating a connection to the Force no other Jedi in the saga reached. A model Jedi, Yoda proved that “size matters not.”  Yoda was so strong with the Force that he absorbed Force lightning with his bare …

If Star Wars Legends and the Skywalker Saga shared a common denominator, it’s that Sith Apprentices like killing. Or at least plotting to kill their Masters. However, Sith Masters have killed their Apprentices, so perhaps this is a two-way street.  Some believe Sith Lords cared about their Apprentices, but it only seems to be the …

Yoda and Naruto are two of the most powerful characters in their respective franchises. So if the two met in a duel, would one overpower the other or would things end in a draw?  Here is a rundown of Yoda’s and Naruto’s most powerful abilities and whether one would overpower the other.  Yoda was the …

The Jedi and Sith spent centuries warring with one another, with the Jedi commanding the light side of the Force and the Sith, the dark side. But how did they use their respective sides, what powers do they derive, and why did they embrace them? The Jedi believed in benevolence, non-aggression, and although they were …

If the Jedi were so Force-sensitive, couldn’t they have figured out Palpatine before he issued Order 66 and ended the Jedi Order? Logistically, they could, but Palpatine had tricks up his sleeve the Jedi were unaware of, and it allowed him to hide his true identity.  Palpatine used Force stealth, among other tricks, to conceal …

The Jedi Temple is located on Coruscant and the Jedi have made their home on the planet for five millennia. But there is a dark reason the Jedi built the Temple here, and it goes far beyond Coruscant’s status as the Galactic Republic’s capital.  The Jedi built the Temple on Coruscant for two primary reasons: …

Some Jedi start training when they’re infants, and it was rare to see any beginning beyond five years of age. For the Jedi Order, the younger one began training, the better, as it allowed them to understand and master the Jedi Code.  The Jedi believed that those who started training later were often more prone …

In the Skywalker Saga, we see many examples of Jedi who have become master pilots. From Anakin and Luke Skywaker to Rey Skywalker, their Force-sensitivity makes them just as effective from the air as they are from the ground.  Force-sensitivity is not a prerequisite to becoming a good pilot, and not all Jedi become good …

In 19 BBY, Barriss Offee, fed up with the Jedi Order’s role in the Clone Wars, bombed the Jedi Temple, resulting in multiple casualties. She framed her best friend, Ahsoka Tano, prompting a high-stakes court hearing. Although proven innocent, Tano left the Order.  Ahsoka, with little trust left in herself and having lost faith in …

In The Mandalorian, it seems like everyone forgot about the Jedi, despite the Clone Wars having taken place just two-and-a-half decades before. But, when someone like Darth Sidious called the shots, his demonization and erasure of Jedi history could serve as the culprit.  Order 66 was just the start of what became the erasure of …

The term Jedi has a winding history which dates back over 37 millennia BBY. Their ancestors started off as nothing more than a group of monks looking to study the Force. And the modern Jedi Order looks entirely different from their Force-sensitive predecessors.  The term Jedi stems from Je’daii, which originated when previously isolated Force-sensitive …

The Jedi and Sith dominate the Star Wars universe and they’re synonymous with either the light, or dark side of the Force. But the Grays did not tap in exclusively to the light or dark. Since we know light-sided Jedi can become Force ghosts, does the same hold true for Gray Jedi? The Gray Jedi …

The Prequel Trilogy in Star Wars boasted two powerful Jedi in Mace Windu and Yoda.  They were so powerful that they held the highest ranks in the Jedi Order, with Windu serving as the Master of the Jedi Order, and Yoda, the Jedi Grand Master. So who was the stronger Jedi? Yoda once beat Mace …

Former Jedi Grand Master Yoda was among the most respected Jedi in Star Wars Canon and Legends. For over 800 years, he trained prominent Jedi and despite his old age, he never lost a step in combat.  Yoda came across as an insane hermit the first time Luke Skywalker met him on Dagobah. However, Yoda …

Star Wars is not the classic good versus evil trope it once led us to believe. Instead, the saga gives us a different trope: one that seeks balance. Solely embracing one side of the Force over the other never ends well in the history of the franchise, Canon or Legends.  Luke wanted the Jedi to …

In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker exclaimed the infamous line, “From my point-of-view, the Jedi are evil!” While the Jedi looked like a flawless bunch on the surface, their inherent flaws led Anakin to lose his trust in them and turn to the Sith.  The Jedi Code prohibited emotional attachments, forcing Anakin to keep …

While non-Force-sensitives cannot be Jedi, they can tap into the Force with limited ability and even create a bond with a lightsaber.  Only those brought to the Jedi Temple as children can become Jedi because they demonstrated Force-sensitivity.  Non-Force-sensitives cannot be a Jedi since to become a Jedi Initiate, one must boast a higher midi-chlorian …
