There’s a moment buried in a 2019 Marvel comic that completely changed how I think about Luke Skywalker’s place in the Star Wars saga. It’s not in any of the movies, it’s not part of a major storyline, and yet it contains one of the most chilling revelations about Luke’s true potential that we’ve ever …
For many fans, the day George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney in 2012 felt like the end of an era. After decades as the creator and guiding hand behind one of the most beloved franchises in cinema, Lucas shocked the world by stepping away from his galaxy far, far away. Over the years, he’s …
I’ve gone down a lot of rabbit holes when it comes to messed-up Star Wars characters, but none of them come close to Doctor Cornelius Evazan. This guy wasn’t some Sith or warlord. He was just a surgeon – at least, that’s how it started. But what he did later? It made both the Rebellion …
So there’s this story in Legends that I can’t stop thinking about – because it’s one of the few times someone actually trolled Darth Vader… and then Vader trolled them right back even harder.

When Grant Imahara passed away in 2020, the world mourned the loss of a brilliant MythBusters engineer. But before he became a TV personality, Grant spent nearly a decade at Industrial Light & Magic, living every Star Wars fan’s dream—he literally brought R2-D2 to life. His contributions to the galaxy far, far away went beyond …
So we all know how Return of the Jedi ends, right? Darth Vader turns back to the light, saves Luke, and dies in his arms. Then we see him as a Force ghost alongside Obi-Wan and Yoda at the celebration on Endor. But here’s the thing – how exactly did Anakin become a Force ghost? …
