Clone armor is designed to be durable, efficient, and iconic. Most troopers march into battle looking sharp, even if their armor’s a bit scratched from the field. But then there are the clone gunners — the ones manning the AV-7 cannons or perched on top of AT-TEs. Their armor? Caked in soot. Smoke-streaked. Dust-blasted to …
If you’ve ever wondered how the heck any of those troopers tell each other apart, you’re not alone. When they’re not rocking colorful custom paint jobs or unique armor mods, clone troopers, especially in their early Phase I armor, look nearly identical. Same face, same voice, same gear. So, how do they know who’s who …
If you’ve watched The Clone Wars or Revenge of the Sith, you’ve probably seen General Grievous yelling at or destroying his own battle droids like they’re garbage. It might seem funny at first—this towering, metal warlord constantly bullying the clumsy B1s—but there’s a deeper reason behind it. Grievous didn’t just dislike his droids. He despised …
The Death Star was a moon-sized battle station with the power to destroy planets—something you’d think would be impossible to hide. But for years, the Empire managed to keep it out of sight, even from many of its own people. Here’s how they pulled it off. 1. Everything Was Compartmentalized The Empire divided the Death …
Most people remember the big moments between Vader and Luke from the movies, but there’s one fight that happened shortly after A New Hope that not everyone talks about. It’s from Marvel’s Star Wars (2015) comic, and it shows the actual first time Vader met Luke face-to-face—and what’s wild is that he came across his …
Every time I rewatch the Geonosis battle or hop back into Battlefront II, I keep wondering the same thing: why is that poor clone just chilling out in the open on top of the AT-TE? You’ve got this massive armored walker with thick side plating and six legs that can handle rough terrain – but …
Everyone remembers the B1 battle droids—the clumsy, overly talkative tin cans from The Clone Wars. They march into battle shouting “Roger, roger,” miss every shot, and die by the thousands. At first glance, they’re just comic relief. But the real reason they act so dumb isn’t funny at all. It’s actually the result of a …
We’ve all seen it. Stormtroopers charging in like they’re elite soldiers, only to miss every single shot and get taken out by teddy bears with slingshots. Meanwhile, we’re told these guys were trained by Clone Commandos, literal war machines who survived the fiercest battles of the Clone Wars. So what happened? Did the Empire just …
Back in 2012, a group of Star Wars fans decided to test the limits of democracy — and the internet — by submitting a petition to the White House asking the U.S. government to build a real Death Star. Yes, that Death Star. The moon-sized, planet-killing weapon from Star Wars. And what started out as …
Who understands the Jedi Order better than the fans, right? Ask any of us and we can tell you exactly how fast Yoda moved, how powerful Mace Windu’s Vaapad was, or how Anakin fought like a battering ram. But there’s one Jedi who gets talked about a little differently—Obi-Wan Kenobi. He wasn’t the fastest or …
