When we watch The Empire Strikes Back, the Hoth rescue scene looks a little weird if you think about it too hard. Han is a guy from Corellia in a coat. The tauntaun is a native Hoth creature covered in fur and blubber. Yet out in the blizzard, the tauntaun keels over and freezes while …

There’s a moment in The Clone Wars that really makes you stop and stare. Savage Opress drags this broken, spider-legged Maul back to Dathomir, Mother Talzin starts chanting, green mist fills the lair… and then she reaches into his head and pulls out this black, smoky sludge like she’s yanking poison straight out of his …

We’ve all seen Luke Skywalker as the calm, collected Jedi Master — the hero who never loses control, even in the worst moments. But in Star Wars Legends, there’s a story that completely breaks that image. When his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, was killed. For the first time since the fall of his father, Luke’s …

If you put Luke’s first lightsaber next to Obi-Wan’s from the prequels, you’ll notice something weird, they’re almost the same hilt. Same emitter shape, same pommel, same silhouette.

When we first meet Yoda, he’s a tiny old guy shuffling around with a cane, talking slowly and groaning every time he sits down. Then the prequels hit, he drops the stick, ignites a lightsaber, and suddenly he’s ricocheting off walls like a green pinball. It almost feels like we’re watching two different characters: quiet …

Darth Maul didn’t appear as a fully formed Sith assassin right at the beginning – he was shaped that way from childhood. Long before his duel on Naboo, he survived a brutal upbringing on Dathomir and an even harsher “education” under Darth Sidious. His early years were filled with pain, fear, and tests no child …

Looking back at the duel on Naboo, we can clearly see how aggressively Obi-Wan fought beside his master Qui-Gon Jinn. Both of them relied on Form IV — Ataru, the fast, acrobatic, high-energy style built for constant offense. But after Episode I, we never see Obi-Wan fight this way again. Instead, he switches almost completely …
