Stormtroopers the ones who can’t seem to hit a target to save their lives. Here’s something that’ll make you scratch your head: these guys are decked out in full armor, but they drop like flies the moment they take any damage. Blaster shot? Down they go. Lightsaber strike? Well, that’s a bit extreme, but you …
Okay, so I’ve always wondered—why didn’t Chewie get a medal in A New Hope? Like, he was there, helped save the galaxy, and then… nothing? Turns out, there’s a mix of real-world reasons and Wookiee cultural stuff that might explain it. Let me break it down for you—it’s actually pretty fascinating. Filmmakers Made Decisions and …

They had to immediately go on the defensive against the very brothers they had fought alongside for years. These Jedi died feeling …
I’ve always been fascinated by Count Dooku. He wasn’t your typical Jedi or Sith—he saw the corruption in the Republic and wanted to change it. But Sidious manipulated him, turning those good intentions into something darker. Without that interference, I think Dooku could’ve been one of the greatest leaders the galaxy had ever seen. Count …
After the devastating events of Order 66, the Empire underwent a radical shift in its military policy. Gone were the clone troopers, replaced by rigorously trained human Stormtroopers. But why humans? There are a couple of theories. Perhaps it’s practical—the Empire found it easier to design armor for human bodies. Or maybe it’s deeper than …
