From the time we are born, we learn to form bonds. Outside of our families, the first type of bond we learn to make is friendship.  All throughout our lives we meet strangers, find connections with them, and boom: they become an integral part of our everyday routine.  Of course, Star Wars is a pretty …

In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Chancellor Palpatine tells Anakin Skywalker an interesting story about Darth Plagueis.

Since the inception of the galaxy, the most prominent organizations have been the Jedi and the Sith.  It is well known that the Jedi Order had around 10,000 members. That was until Order 66 when the Sith stormed the Jedi Temple and annihilated 99% of the Order. On the other hand, the Sith Order also …

Armies march by the hundreds and thousands, all to protect their country. Regardless of the size, one can be just as effective as the other.  Just take the movie, The 300. Leonidas only had an army of 300 people to stand up against thousands, not to mention men with supernatural abilities. He absolutely bodied the …

Anakin Skywalker was one of the most unpredictable and legendary characters in Star Wars. He was a Force-sensitive human who not only became a Jedi Knight but also had a stint on the dark side.  In fact, thanks to Anakin Skywalker shifting paths from light to dark, fans everywhere were given the most iconic character …

There is no specific size for a lightsaber hilt’s length and width. For example, Yoda’s lightsaber hilt was substantially smaller, given his size. On the other end of the spectrum, Count Dooku’s famed curved hilt was slightly longer, which best fit his fighting style.  Lightsaber hilts vary in length, width, and weight, depending on the …

Yoda was a Jedi Master who, despite his age, wowed audiences with his acrobatics during the Prequel Trilogy. So how did Yoda become so well-versed, even at his old age, in lightsaber combat? It stems from his preferred fighting form.  Yoda mastered all fighting forms, but he preferred Ataru, or Form IV. And he did …

Despite the infamous roles of Frank Oz, Wendy Froud, Kathryn Mullen, and Nick Maley, Yoda is not a muppet. He was the most advanced puppet of his time. George Lucas originally came to Jim Henson for help in making Yoda, but, (Henson), was busy running the Muppets and getting ready to work on The Dark …

Bone broth loving, extraordinarily adorable, miniature Yoda was arguably one of the best additions to the Star Wars franchise.  Grogu, also called The Child and Baby Yoda, was born Force-sensitive and was raised in the Jedi Temple alongside his fellow Jedi Initiates.  Eventually, he even became a Mandalorian Foundling. Belonging to the same unknown species …

Grogu, affectionately called Baby Yoda, is almost like a miniature version of Jedi Grand Master Yoda. This doesn’t mean that they are the same person.  Quite the contrary. The only reason Baby Yoda and Yoda seem to be the same is that they come from the same unknown species.  Don’t let Grogu’s small stature and …

The distinction between good and evil isn’t always black and white. Sometimes, there are situations where a person has to make decisions that blur the line between good and bad.  There is no better example of this than George Lucas’ Star Wars franchise. In Star Wars, the force is split between the light and the …

The exact number of Jedi Darth Vader killed is unknown, but it has been speculated the numbers are anywhere from nine to around thirty-five. This is based on whether you consider Star Wars Canon or Legends. Out of all the videos and websites I looked at, the following one is the most thorough. It doesn’t …

Yoda is an interesting character. He used this cane called a gimer stick, yet when he engaged in lightsaber combat, he was capable of performing acrobatic maneuvers like front flips. Following lightsaber duels, he reverted back to his feeble movements while leaning over the stick.  Yoda received the gimer stick as a gift from the …

In the Star Wars universe, the Jedi can do amazing things. They can levitate massive objects by using Force. Yoda does this with Luke’s X-Wing Fighter in Stars Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.  By using the Force, Yoda lifts this enormous fighter out of the Dagobah swamp and onto land. Jedi-turned-Sith Lords can …

Padawan. Jedi. Master. “General Kenobi!” We’ve heard and read these ranks a thousand times and know them by heart. But what do they mean? Who decides who gets a promotion and when? And did they only follow one set of rules/circumstances or did they evolve over time? In the prequels, we can see that the …

When you think Star Wars the odds are good that you’ll be thinking about lightsabers (and want some). But how do they work? We know that the blade is plasma and can cut through almost anything. So, how do you keep it from melting through the hilt, or stop it from making a hole if …

If you’re a Star Wars fan, then you’re probably familiar with the Darksaber. This unique lightsaber has a flat, sword-shaped blade that glows black and seems to have far greater powers than the average lightsaber.

If you’ve spent more than a few minutes watching Yoda on screen, you’re bound to notice some oddities in his physique that go further than just the standard alien persona. Everything from his height to his skin color makes him seem like an unknown alien being, but also strangely familiar.  Some of Yoda’s features are …

Affectionately called “Red Blades,” Inquisitors are force-sensitives who operate under the dark side’s Inquisitorious Program. This organization didn’t come into existence until the tragic events of Order 66.  Which, for those who don’t know, occurred when the clones were manipulated into seeing all Jedi as the enemy. This prompted the Great Jedi Purge, which resulted …
