I recently rewatched Spaceballs—yeah, the ridiculous 1987 Star Wars parody with Yogurt, Lone Starr, and, of course, Dark Helmet. And while it’s meant to be a joke, I couldn’t help but notice something kinda insane… Some of the wildest gags in that movie ended up becoming real Star Wars moments—years or even decades later. Like, …
We tend to think of Palpatine’s manipulation of Anakin in Revenge of the Sith as the big moment — the final move that dragged him to the dark side. But did you know Palpatine was already working on Anakin years earlier, back when he was still just a young Padawan? In the Obi-Wan & Anakin …
The Rise of Skywalker may have wrapped up the Skywalker saga, but what we saw on screen was only part of the story. Behind the scenes, concept artists, writers, and designers explored some truly wild ideas, scenes that were sketched, discussed, and in some cases even filmed, but never made it to the final cut. …
When we think of Emperor Palpatine, we picture the cackling Sith Master pulling strings from the shadows, manipulating everyone until the galaxy crumbles right into his hands. But what if I told you his most sinister tricks weren’t even in the movies we saw? In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine’s manipulation of Anakin is already …
We all love the Rebel briefing scene — the tension, the music, the glowing red wireframe of the Death Star. But if you’ve ever really looked at that display, you might’ve noticed something weird: the giant planet-killing laser is firing from the middle of the dish. Hold on. Didn’t we see it fire from the …
In the chaos of the Clone Wars, Yoda was forced into a choice no Jedi should ever face, killing his oldest friend to prevent a greater loss of life. This story plays out in Star Wars: Clone Wars — The Best Blades , a one-shot comic from 2004 in the Legends timeline, and it remains …
The Death Star stands as the ultimate symbol of the Empire’s power. A battle station capable of erasing entire planets in one strike. Since nuclear weapons and orbital bombardments existed in the galaxy, it’s fair to ask why the Empire didn’t rely on them instead. The answer lies in fear, efficiency, and control. Fear as …
Most people think of Boba Fett as the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter — cold, calculating, and always chasing the biggest payday. But here’s the thing: one of his most badass moments had nothing to do with money at all. In Star Wars: Blood Ties, Fett accepted a bounty for just three credits. Yeah, three. Everyone …
When fans think of Anakin Skywalker’s tragedy, most remember his mother’s death at the hands of the Tusken Raiders. But Tatooine Ghost by Troy Denning adds a heartbreaking layer: Shmi Skywalker did try to reach out to her son. She wanted Anakin to know about her freedom, her marriage, and her new life with Cliegg …
If you haven’t played The Force Unleashed II, there’s a moment you might not know about — one that feels straight out of the movies. In the middle of his journey, Starkiller, Darth Vader’s powerful secret apprentice, ends up on Dagobah and comes face-to-face with Yoda. It’s a surprising pause in a game best known …
