This is the question I think we’ve all been asked at some point: are you more like your father, or your mother? For Luke Skywalker, that question carries incredible weight. On one side is Anakin Skywalker — a Jedi Knight who fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader. On the other is Padmé …

Have you ever stop and think about how wild it is that the Jedi missed Palpatine as a kid? Like, this guy grows up to be Darth Sidious, wipes out the whole Order, becomes Emperor… and yet nobody from the Temple ever showed up at his door. Naboo isn’t some totally forgotten rock either, it’s …

So before the Kenobi series, most of us thought Ben Kenobi’s first reunion with Darth Vader happened aboard the Death Star in A New Hope. But in Legends, the story goes much deeper. Hidden away in the novels Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vade is an earlier moment — the first time Obi-Wan laid …

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. In fact, there was one mission—his first real failure—that ended with Vader humiliated, alone, and forced to reflect on how easily …

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. Hundreds of cadets poured into the streets and fought the clone …

The fall of the Jedi wasn’t just about soldiers turning their blasters on them. The hate that spread across the galaxy had been building for a long time, and by the time Order 66 hit, people were ready to believe the worst. So, how did the Order go from respected peacekeepers to villains in the …

I still remember the first time I saw that duel on screen—it felt like a turning point for Anakin, the first time he won a duel in the prequel. But later, when I read the ROTS novelization, I realized the fight wasn’t what I thought it was. The difference between page and film stunned me, …

I came across a Reddit thread where the OP asked if Darth Plagueis was sitting behind Palpatine during Queen Amidala’s speech in The Phantom Menace.
