Ever since their introduction to the Star Wars franchise, the Sith and the Jedi have been at each other’s throats.  Given that they both exist on opposing sides of the Force, the Sith and the Jedi are natural enemies. They butt heads in every conceivable way. Where the Jedi believe in peace and keeping themselves …

We all need someone to share life experiences with. Of course, George Lucas integrated this feature into his masterfully crafted Star Wars universe.  Romantic relationships aside, many people in the galaxy build bonds with those around them. Whether they are Force users or not, they form involuntary connections with those they spend time with.  Though …

In the Star Wars universe, there is a clear distinction between the two sides of the Force. There is the light side and the dark side.  Those who adhere to the Jedi’s general idea of what’s right and wrong are part of the light side. They believe in peace, keeping a clear mind, and protecting …

In Star Wars, the Sith reside on the dark side of the Force. They are Force-sensitives who contest the Jedi way of life. This has never sat well with the Jedi, who opted to annihilate the first Sith Order, known as the Brotherhood of Darkness.  From that point onward, the Sith and the Jedi have …

I have a confession to make. Not only did Mas Amedda fail to make an impression on me, but I just learned his name. He was just the blue guy that showed up and yelled “order.” Which, it turns out, may have been one of the reasons that Palpatine kept him around. Mas Amedda is …

This has been on everyone’s mind ever since the first Star Wars movie, and it only became more confusing once we were introduced to Count Dooku. It made sense for Palpatine to keep his identity as a Sith Lord hidden in the prequels. But what about Dooku, Kylo Ren, the Inquisitors, and Snoke? Asaj Ventress …

When I was a kid watching the Star Wars movies for the first time, I decided that there were four things you needed to be a Sith. A red lightsaber, black or mostly black clothes, a cool Darth name, and at least one spaceship. But now that I’m an adult, I find myself wondering: How …

The Mandalorians originated from the planet Mandalore, which is located in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy. The Mandalorians aren’t just one species of people. Instead, they are an amalgamation of various species that are bound together by a common language, regulations, and ideologies. The Mandalorians were quite legendary in the Star Wars universe. …

Yes, but you might not want to try dating one! One of the meanings behind a red lightsaber is passion. Passion is not the same as love. It’s lust, pride, and positiveness. Not necessarily evil, but can be taken too far and become toxic. Sith has more freedom when it comes to emotion, but they …

The galaxy is split between the light and dark sides of the Force. On each side, some organizations are responsible for seeing the desires of their side come to fruition.  Still, some don’t associate with either side and choose to remain in the gray area of the Force. Most of them are known as Gray …

Yoda and Darth Vader were two of the strongest Force-sensitives in the galaxy both shortly before the fall of the Republic and after the rise of the Galactic Empire. Yoda defeated Count Dooku and forced Darth Sidious to abandon his lightsaber.  But did he get around to beating Vader? Yoda and Darth Vader never fought, …

For those who don’t know, a Bounty Hunter is sort of like a freelance police officer. They search for fugitives and other wanted individuals, who are relatively difficult to find. Their jobs were to turn in the target dead or alive, depending on what the employer requested. When the Bounty Hunters do find their mark, …

The Inquisitors were a notorious band of former Jedi trained to hunt down former members of the Order that still roamed the galaxy in secret. They pledged themselves to the dark side and trained under Darth Vader. So how many did Vader have at his command? The initial number of Inquisitors sat between 10 and …

Often, the difference between good and evil, right and wrong has been clear cut. However, things may not be as clear cut as they seem. In our world, everything is about balance. Because one side of the spectrum often cannot exist without the other, both sides must work in tandem for everything to remain in …

Parachutes appear in both Star Wars Canon and Legends. However, they’re rare, occurring about 16 times throughout the franchise’s history. One reason you find a lack of parachutes in Star Wars is that Jedi freefall from great heights and survive while non-Force-sensitives often use specialized machinery over parachutes. Parachutes appear in Star Wars, but they’re …

Darth Vader may have been the most feared Sith in all the galaxy, with the exception of Emperor Palpatine, but beneath all the armor and mechanical limbs there was a man who used to be a Jedi.  In the end, Darth Vader showed that he was still Anakin Skywalker on the inside and brought balance …

Happiness is one of the most sought-after things in life. In our reality, the pursuit of happiness drives most, if not all, people into many situations.  Of course, in George Lucas’ Star Wars universe, it’s expected to be the same. If you think about it, regardless of how different the light and dark sides of …

Unfortunately, death is arguably the most natural thing in life. Just as easily as someone can come into the world, they can be taken out.  Given how much war occurs daily within George Lucas’ Star Wars universe, death is an integral part of the galaxy.  Naturally, every person deals with grief in their own way. …

On both sides of the force, teachers are responsible for imparting the rules and guidelines of their organization to the young. The Jedi Order on the light side of the Force has a Jedi Master who will train the Padawans.  What’s interesting about the Jedi is that a Master/Knight can only train one Padawan at …

Force-sensitive beings are taken from their families when they’re too young to develop emotional connections or any traits that deviate from the Jedi Code.  They go on to live a sheltered lifestyle, before a select few rise in the rankings as Padawans, Knights, and Masters.  Only Force-sensitive beings can become Jedi. However, it takes more …
