One thing we almost never see in Star Wars is a Jedi worrying about their lightsaber dying. They can carry it for years, fight through battles, cut through doors, deflect blaster bolts, and somehow the blade is always ready when they need it. But lightsabers are not magic swords. They have internal parts, power cells, …

Order 66 is usually remembered as the moment the Jedi were wiped out, but there was another side of the Clone Wars that almost never gets talked about: the Separatists. While the clones were turning on the Jedi, the Separatist leaders were still alive on Mustafar, waiting for what they thought was the end of …

In Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan finds one of the strangest problems in the Jedi Archives. Kamino should be there, but it is not. The map is incomplete, and even Jocasta Nu is convinced that if a world does not appear in the Archives, then it simply does not exist. But we later learn the …

When Vader told Luke, “I am your father,” he was not speaking as Anakin Skywalker. He was speaking as Darth Vader, the name he used to bury his old life, his Jedi past, and everything Anakin had lost. So when Vader looked at Luke, did he see him as Vader’s son, or Anakin’s? Vader Knew …

For most of Star Wars, the Skywalker name is tied to Jedi, prophecy, and the struggle between light and dark. But in Legends, one Skywalker took that legacy in a very different direction.

That idea may not sound …

Grand Moff Tarkin died believing the Death Star was untouchable. In A New Hope, even when the Rebels found a weakness in the station, Tarkin refused to evacuate. He stood there with full confidence that the Empire’s ultimate weapon could not be destroyed by a handful of starfighters. But later Star Wars lore added a …

When Vader finally met Ahsoka again in Star Wars Rebels, it was clear that he wanted her dead. Even though he was once Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi Knight Ahsoka knew as her master, Vader ignored that past completely and tried to kill her without hesitation. That is what makes the whole scene so painful. Ahsoka …

Count Dooku did not go into his final duel on the Invisible Hand thinking he was about to die. In his mind, the Clone Wars were almost over, and everything was moving exactly the way Darth Sidious had promised. The Republic was falling apart. The Jedi were being pushed into a war they could not …

The sequel trilogy is still something Star Wars fans argue about all the time.

And Kylo Ren was probably the biggest …
