When we think of Emperor Palpatine, we picture the cackling Sith Master pulling strings from the shadows, manipulating everyone until the galaxy crumbles right into his hands. But what if I told you his most sinister tricks weren’t even in the movies we saw? In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine’s manipulation of Anakin is already …
We all love the Rebel briefing scene — the tension, the music, the glowing red wireframe of the Death Star. But if you’ve ever really looked at that display, you might’ve noticed something weird: the giant planet-killing laser is firing from the middle of the dish. Hold on. Didn’t we see it fire from the …
If you’ve been around Star Wars long enough, you know Yoda as the wise, unshakable Grand Master — the kind of Jedi who seems above the messy, painful choices war can bring. But there’s a Legends story that completely flips that image for me. In the chaos of the Clone Wars, Yoda was forced into …
The Death Star stands as the ultimate symbol of the Empire’s power. A battle station capable of erasing entire planets in one strike. Since nuclear weapons and orbital bombardments existed in the galaxy, it’s fair to ask why the Empire didn’t rely on them instead. The answer lies in fear, efficiency, and control. Fear as …
Most people think of Boba Fett as the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter — cold, calculating, and always chasing the biggest payday.

If you haven’t played The Force Unleashed II, there’s a moment you might not know about — one that feels straight out of the movies. In the middle of his journey, Starkiller, Darth Vader’s powerful secret apprentice, ends up on Dagobah and comes face-to-face with Yoda. It’s a surprising pause in a game best known …
This is the question I think we’ve all been asked at some point: are you more like your father, or your mother? For Luke Skywalker, that question carries incredible weight. On one side is Anakin Skywalker — a Jedi Knight who fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader. On the other is Padmé …
Have you ever stop and think about how wild it is that the Jedi missed Palpatine as a kid? Like, this guy grows up to be Darth Sidious, wipes out the whole Order, becomes Emperor… and yet nobody from the Temple ever showed up at his door. Naboo isn’t some totally forgotten rock either, it’s …
So before the Kenobi series, most of us thought Ben Kenobi’s first reunion with Darth Vader happened aboard the Death Star in A New Hope. But in Legends, the story goes much deeper. Hidden away in the novels Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vade is an earlier moment — the first time Obi-Wan laid …
