We all know Vader as the unstoppable enforcer of the Empire, the man who hunted Jedi and crushed rebels without mercy. But in the early days of his service to Palpatine, Vader wasn’t perfect.

The Ewoks—yes, those tiny little creatures on the Forest Moon of Endor—helped the Rebels take down the mighty Empire. Despite playing a key role in the victory during Return of the Jedi, the Ewoks quickly became one of the most divisive parts of the Star Wars universe. While some fans found them charming, others saw …
The duel on the Death Star ended with a moment nobody expected. Obi-Wan Kenobi stopped fighting, smiled, and let Darth Vader cut him down. For Vader, this wasn’t just another battle. It was a clash with his old master, the man who had shaped him, betrayed him, and haunted him for two decades. When the …
Coruscant hosted the first graduation for Imperial officers from Raithal Academy. Speeches wrapped, crowds packed Imperial Plaza, and six academies had their top cadets on-world. Then the attacks hit. Explosions wiped out dozens of Imperial sites within minutes—garrisons, comm towers, depots, the officers’ club.

We’ve all seen Maul and Obi-Wan clash, first in the Prequels, then again in The Clone Wars, and finally in their brief but powerful duel in Rebels. But what I didn’t know until recently is that Obi-Wan actually took the time to reflect on Maul’s death afterward. In his personal diary, he wrote about that …
The Empire didn’t always blast every Rebel they found. When soldiers, leaders, or even droids were captured, their fate depended on their species, rank, and how valuable the Empire thought they were.
