There’s a moment in The Clone Wars that really makes you stop and stare. Savage Opress drags this broken, spider-legged Maul back to Dathomir, Mother Talzin starts chanting, green mist fills the lair… and then she reaches into his head and pulls out this black, smoky sludge like she’s yanking poison straight out of his …
We’ve all seen Luke Skywalker as the calm, collected Jedi Master — the hero who never loses control, even in the worst moments. But in Star Wars Legends, there’s a story that completely breaks that image. When his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, was killed. For the first time since the fall of his father, Luke’s …
If you put Luke’s first lightsaber next to Obi-Wan’s from the prequels, you’ll notice something weird, they’re almost the same hilt. Same emitter shape, same pommel, same silhouette. Was this just a coincidence, or is there an in-universe reason for it? Luke Literally Models It on Obi-Wan’s Hilt In canon, Luke’s second lightsaber is meant …
When Luke stands before the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, Palpatine says one of the strangest lines in the saga: “I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the Dark Side will be complete.” On the face of it, that makes no sense. This …
Not long after the fall of the Jedi, Darth Vader made a personal request to his master. He wanted a world of his own – a place where he could shape his power without interruption. Emperor Palpatine granted it, and Vader chose Mustafar, a volcanic planet soaked in dark side energy and tied to Vader’s …
When we first meet Yoda, he’s a tiny old guy shuffling around with a cane, talking slowly and groaning every time he sits down. Then the prequels hit, he drops the stick, ignites a lightsaber, and suddenly he’s ricocheting off walls like a green pinball. It almost feels like we’re watching two different characters: quiet …
Darth Maul didn’t appear as a fully formed Sith assassin right at the beginning – he was shaped that way from childhood. Long before his duel on Naboo, he survived a brutal upbringing on Dathomir and an even harsher “education” under Darth Sidious. His early years were filled with pain, fear, and tests no child …
Looking back at the duel on Naboo, we can clearly see how aggressively Obi-Wan fought beside his master Qui-Gon Jinn. Both of them relied on Form IV — Ataru, the fast, acrobatic, high-energy style built for constant offense. But after Episode I, we never see Obi-Wan fight this way again. Instead, he switches almost completely …
In A New Hope, we probably remember how Vader told Tarkin that he sensed Obi-Wan’s presence on the Death Star. It’s an interesting exchange that is meant to foreshadow the impending duel between Vader and Obi-Wan. Yet, this conversation also clues us in to the fact that Tarkin knew who Vader truly was. Tarkin was …
The Starkiller Base burst on the scene in The Force Awakens. This planet-size superweapon was meant to be the culmination of Death Star constructions. It was a massive undertaking that raises the question of how it was possible for the First Order to obtain the resources to build it. A primary explanation is the First …
