If you’ve ever rewatched The Empire Strikes Back and found yourself yelling at the screen, “Luke, help your co-pilot!” — you’re not alone. I do it every time. The moment is quick, chaotic, and brutal, so it’s easy to think Luke just bailed on Dak when their snowspeeder went down during the Battle of Hoth. …
In Revenge of the Sith, right before Padmé dies giving birth, she tells Obi-Wan the words every Star Wars fan remembers: “Obi-Wan… there… is good in him. I know there is… still…” She’s talking about Anakin — her husband, the man she’s just watched fall to the dark side. For years, we’ve wondered what it …
There’s something about lightsaber duels that always stands out. You see two warriors clashing, sparks flying, blades humming. Then, the moment one of them falls or loses grip, the weapon shuts down in an instant. Why does that always happen?

Liam Neeson recently brought up something that’s been on my mind for a long time too — the way Qui-Gon Jinn died in The Phantom Menace.
