As we have probably recognized, the Jedi Order consisted of a diverse range of members. We may think first of humans like Obi-Wan, but we just as quickly think of Yoda from an unknown species. We also have Jedis from such groups as Twi’leks and Kel Dors. Yet, we have even rarer Jedi species than …
Perhaps we believed that when Anakin turned into Vader, he had reached the peak of his suffering. But that would be a mistaken viewpoint.

In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine’s office is decorated with Sith artifacts. Yet, the Jedi seem oblivious to what they are. Puzzling…but we can answer this question by looking into the dark side. Reasons Why the Jedi Didn’t Notice the Sith Artifacts One idea to consider to explain this discrepancy is that the artifacts were …
Andor has been an amazing series for many reasons, including what it reveals about Imperial officers. On that note, the show helps us realize why Grand Moff Tarkin didn’t abandon the Death Star in A New Hope. We can think of it as a captain going down with his ship, but it’s more than that …
