I just rewatched The Clone Wars, and something clicked that I never really thought about before. There’s that scene where Anakin fights Barriss Offee in the Jedi Temple—and for a moment, he’s dual-wielding two lightsabers like it’s nothing. And then there’s Obi-Wan, surprising everyone by using two lightsabers at once against Maul and Savage on …
By the time Star Wars: A New Hope was released in 1977, Sir Alec Guinness had already built a legendary career with roles in classics like The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Great Expectations. Stepping into the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi gave the film instant credibility, but for Guinness himself, the …
I was today years old when I realized that the big sphere thing that drops onto Geonosis in Attack of the Clones is actually the same central part of the Trade Federation battleship we see in The Phantom Menace. I don’t know how I missed it all these years—I’ve seen both movies countless times—but it …
When Leia told Tarkin that Alderaan was peaceful and had no weapons, it sounded pretty clear. But then, we see people with blasters fighting stormtroopers on her ship. At first glance, that seems like a contradiction. But once I looked into it more closely, it actually lines up perfectly with what we know about Alderaan, …
I’ve always found small details in Star Wars some of the most powerful. One of those details is something many people don’t talk about much—a simple pot that Obi-Wan gave to Yoda during their time in hiding. It wasn’t a weapon or some ancient relic, but over the years, it became a quiet but meaningful …
When you look at the massive AT-AT walkers used by the Empire, they might seem like an impractical choice compared to hover tanks or tracked vehicles. But in the Star Wars universe, there’s actually a long list of reasons the Empire sticks with these walking behemoths. It’s not just about looking intimidating – though that’s …
I’ve been thinking a lot about why Maul, despite being such a powerhouse, just keeps losing in basically every important fight. Like yeah, he looks cool, he moves fast, and he clearly knows how to fight – but when it really counts, he falls short. And it’s not just about plot. If you go back …
In Star Wars Rebels, there’s a short but striking moment where Ahsoka Tano turns off the Seventh Sister’s spinning lightsaber using the Force. It happens fast, but it’s one of those rare techniques that really stands out. Let’s break down how she pulled it off, why it’s so uncommon, and what makes it even possible …
When I was a kid, I was way more into the aliens than the Jedi. I’d pause scenes just to catch a glimpse of whatever creature was lurking behind the main characters. That habit hasn’t changed much—and luckily, the Disney era gave me a whole new batch of bizarre species to obsess over. Let’s talk …
The clone troopers were literally made for war. They trained from the moment they were born, followed orders without hesitation, and proved themselves in battle over and over again. Some led thousands of soldiers into combat. So why didn’t any of them ever become generals? It wasn’t about skill or bravery. There were deeper reasons …
