If you’ve looked at Boba Fett’s armor closely, you’ve probably noticed that braid hanging over his right shoulder. I used to wonder about it myself — what was it? Some random decoration? A personal memento? Turns out, it’s neither of those things. The real story behind that braid is much clearer now, thanks to canon …
We may or may not know the story of how Luke’s lightsaber changed from blue to green in Return of the Jedi. Intertwined with that story is how Luke’s lightsaber originally appeared blue on the post for the third original movie.

The Mandalorian and Ahsoka also helped the Disney era, but Andor surpassed them with its creative edge. Yet, on the flip side, we may also realize how Andor makes …
General Grievous has always had a certain reputation in Star Wars. Tall, mechanical, draped in a cape full of stolen lightsabers—he was meant to be terrifying.

We’ve all seen the Death Star explode, twice. We cheer, the music swells, and the Rebellion wins another day. But buried in all that celebration is one of the darkest, most heartbreaking facts in Star Wars—one that barely anyone talks about. It’s not about the Rebels, or even the destruction.
