Commando droids were some of the most advanced and dangerous battle droids in the Clone Wars. Fast, smart, agile, and equipped with vibroswords and blasters—they could go toe-to-toe with clone troopers and even Jedi in the right situation. But for all their skills, they were still relatively easy to take down once you got past …

As we watch Rebels, we may have noticed differences from The Clone Wars. The artistic design of the show is distinct, including the look of the lightsabers. In Rebels, the lightsabers are much thinner than what we may be accustomed to. Why is that? The chief reason is the artwork of Ralph McQuarrie, but we …

Lightsabers are composed of plasma and typically weigh just over 2 lbs (1kg), including the hilt. Hence, they are maneuverable weapons that work well in one-on-one duels. Yet, they are actually supposed to feel heavy even though they have low mass. Why do they feel heavy if the blade itself has no mass? That’s what …

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the Mortis arc stands as one of the most mysterious and metaphysical journeys in Anakin Skywalker’s life. We saw the so-called “Force gods”—the Father, the Daughter, and the Son, beings who personified different aspects of the Force. And by the end of the arc, all three were dead. That’s …

I came across a Reddit post asking about that strange-looking statue in Palpatine’s apartment in The Phantom Menace. It’s the one displayed in a wall niche – round head, strange limbs, a bit unsettling. It caught my eye too, and like many fans, I’d always wondered if there was more to it. As it turns …

When The Force Awakens introduced Starkiller Base, it was meant to raise the bar beyond the Death Star. A weapon built into a planet that could drain a star and fire across the galaxy to destroy entire systems. On screen, it looked like the most powerful thing Star Wars had ever shown. But once you …

If you’ve ever watched The Empire Strikes Back and found yourself puzzled by the moment Leia kisses Luke after she told Han she loved him, you’re definitely not alone. That scene has sparked debates for decades. Some people think it’s romantic, others think it’s weird—especially once you know they’re siblings. So, why did they have …

We know that Anakin became disillusioned with the Jedi Order. He also put being with Padme above everything else. So, why didn’t he leave the Order then? His duty-first thinking and desire to save Padme are two compelling reasons. We also cannot forget about Palpatine.  Duty First Thinking A leading explanation for why Anakin didn’t …

When Andor finished its second season, we had a near-perfect series. Yet, as this article indicates, “some characters got their stories shortened” because of the need to condense the storyline. Perrin Fertha, Mon Mothma’s presumed “deadbeat husband,” is case in point. Based on a cut scene, he may have had more depth and knowledge than …

When Darth Bane chose his apprentice Zannah, he allowed her to embrace her new identity on her own terms. A thousand years later, Darth Sidious didn’t offer Anakin that same freedom – he named him Darth Vader. So why the difference? Let’s break it down. Sith Traditions Evolved – and the Naming Ritual Did Too …
