If you’ve ever watched The Phantom Menace, you might have wondered—how on earth did Padmé Amidala become Queen of Naboo at just 14 years old? And then, only a few years later, a Senator? It’s one of those unique parts of Star Wars lore that catches you off guard because, in our world, someone that young …

You know that bond between Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano—it’s one of the most memorable in Star Wars. Anakin might not have wanted a Padawan at first, but Ahsoka quickly proved herself, becoming more than just his student; she was his trusted friend.  Their journey wasn’t simple, and it certainly didn’t end the way we’d hope. …

If you’re a Star Wars fan who loves behind-the-scenes details, this one’s for you.  During the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi, there was a deleted scene where a Mon Calamari pilot delivered the line, “Fried Calamari tonight!” Now, I know what you’re thinking “Did they really go there?”  Yes, they did, and …

We all remember the tense moment in Revenge of the Sith when Mace Windu strides into Chancellor Palpatine’s office, flanked by three of the Jedi’s finest: Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin.  The Jedi are there on a mission—arrest Palpatine, who they’ve finally uncovered as the Sith Lord manipulating the galaxy from behind the …

We’ve seen Force lightning used many times in Star Wars, especially by powerful Sith like Count Dooku and Palpatine.  But there’s one big difference—while Dooku’s face remains unaffected, Palpatine’s lightning deforms his face, leaving him visibly scarred.  So why does the dark side’s lightning affect Palpatine so severely, but not Dooku?  Here’s exactly why. 1. …

Why is it only Force users like the Jedi and Sith who seem to use them? After all, anyone can technically pick up a lightsaber, so why don’t we see characters like Han Solo or Boba Fett using one? Well, lightsabers aren’t just weapons—they’re built for those attuned to the Force, making them incredibly difficult …

You ever notice how starship engines in Star Wars glow in all sorts of colors? Sometimes they’re red or orange, other times a bright blue, and every now and then you get a flash of yellow or gold. I’ve always wondered if there’s some deeper reason behind these color choices – like, to differentiate the …

I’ll be honest – Carson Teva (and the actor who plays the role – Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) might just be my favorite character of the Disney era in Star Wars. Sure, he’s not a Jedi or some legendary hero, but that’s exactly what makes him so great. Carson’s that down-to-earth, everyman figure who feels like …

Huyang is one of the oldest droids in Star Wars, still serving his purpose just like he did 25,000 years ago. It’s kind of surprising, isn’t it? You’d expect droid tech to have made massive leaps by now. But even with all that time, Huyang’s still considered up-to-date. Why? I think it comes down to …

This one’s actually a fun debate. If you’ve ever wondered about Star Destroyers and their color, white or gray? – you’re definitely not alone. Star Destroyers, those iconic massive ships from Star Wars, aren’t as straightforward in color as you’d think.
