If you’ve looked at Boba Fett’s armor closely, you’ve probably noticed that braid hanging over his right shoulder. I used to wonder about it myself — what was it? Some random decoration? A personal memento? Turns out, it’s neither of those things. The real story behind that braid is much clearer now, thanks to canon …

We may or may not know the story of how Luke’s lightsaber changed from blue to green in Return of the Jedi. Intertwined with that story is how Luke’s lightsaber originally appeared blue on the post for the third original movie. One particular scene helps explain both scenarios, but there are other reasons for why …

We always talk about how Jedi and Sith were sworn enemies – light versus dark, good versus evil. But when I started looking deeper into their stories, I realized some of them actually respected each other. And I don’t just mean grudging respect in battle – I’m talking about real acknowledgment of each other’s strength, …

The Rebels blow up the Death Star, then just… hang out on Yavin 4? They fix R2, hold a whole ceremony, and no one from the Empire shows up? That used to confuse me, but the more I looked into it, the more the whole thing made sense. Here’s what I found when I broke …

The Battle of Geonosis always felt off to me. I mean, it was basically a war in Count Dooku’s own backyard. Geonosis was where the Separatists had their summit, and it was loaded with droid factories. He could’ve flooded the battlefield with reinforcements if he really wanted to. But he didn’t.

Death Troopers are the most intimidating of the Imperial forces. One alone would strike terror but a group of them serves the Empire’s objective of fear and control. Along with their frightful appearance, they also communicate in an unintelligible manner. Do Death Troopers use voice scramblers to enhance their intimidation? Yes, but encrypting their voices …

We can appreciate Andor for its originality. With the completion of Season 2, this series has garnered accolades for reviving and restoring the Star Wars franchise. The Mandalorian and Ahsoka also helped the Disney era, but Andor surpassed them with its creative edge. Yet, on the flip side, we may also realize how Andor makes …

General Grievous has always had a certain reputation in Star Wars. Tall, mechanical, draped in a cape full of stolen lightsabers—he was meant to be terrifying. And yeah, he looked cool, especially when he came crawling out of the shadows with that coughing, half-droid menace energy. But if you actually pay attention to how he …

We’ve all seen the Death Star explode, twice. We cheer, the music swells, and the Rebellion wins another day. But buried in all that celebration is one of the darkest, most heartbreaking facts in Star Wars—one that barely anyone talks about. It’s not about the Rebels, or even the destruction. It’s about someone inside the …

We all know Luke Skywalker as the hopeful farm boy who became the greatest Jedi in the galaxy. But what if I told you that in George Lucas’s original script, Luke wasn’t even called Skywalker—and he wasn’t exactly the good guy either? That’s right, early drafts had him as Luke Starkiller, and the story took …
