Stormtroopers weren’t exactly known for their individuality. For the most part, they were nameless, disposable soldiers of the Empire—until the credits rolled and they disappeared into history. But every rule has an exception. After the fall of the Empire, one stormtrooper refused to vanish. Instead, he rose through the criminal underworld, stole Tarkin’s old ship, …

There’s a moment after Endor that always leaves me wondering. What happens when Luke comes back, not just as the hero who faced the Emperor, but carrying with him the body of Darth Vader? Thanks to an incredible comic by supertaliart, we actually get to see how that could play out. Although it is just …

I have to admit, one of the funniest things in Star Wars isn’t meant to be funny at all—it’s Palpatine roasting Darth Vader. We all know Vader as this unstoppable force, the guy everyone fears. But every so often, Palpatine cuts him down with a single line, and it’s so sharp it almost feels like …

Katee Sackhoff, who many know as Bo-Katan Kryze in The Mandalorian, recently shared how hard it was for her to step into the role — and how it nearly pushed her out of acting for three years. On her podcast The Sackhoff Show, while talking with her Battlestar Galactica co-star Tahmoh Penikett, she admitted that …

Darth Maul’s eyes have always stood out. Bright yellow, rimmed with red, and locked in place no matter what’s going on around him. Other dark-siders slip in and out of that look, but with Maul, it’s constant. That raises the big question: is it just the dark side, or is he naturally built that way? …

There is a key moment in Attack of the Clones when Palpatine caught Yoda’s attention. We think that Yoda is on to Palpatine’s true intentions and that he will take some action. Yet, Yoda remains silent on the issue. Why didn’t he speak out about his suspicions? The dark side is behind the answer.  Palpatine …

If we examine Lucas’s comments on the EU, we can derive two key questions. One, does Star Wars have a parallel universe? Two, should we be so critical of the Disney era if we accept the idea of a separate EU-Legends universe that is now being drawn into canon? It may not be apparent, but …

There’s something strangely satisfying about watching characters in Star Wars make the worst possible assumptions, especially when those assumptions involve Darth Vader. One moment from the comics captures this perfectly. It’s brief, easy to miss, but if you catch it, it sticks with you: Jabba the Hutt, one of the galaxy’s most feared crime lords, …

You know during the Battle of Geonosis, there was a lot going on between Obi-Wan and Anakin — one of the biggest clashes being when Anakin wanted to stop the gunship after Padmé fell out. And we all remember what happened next. That tension didn’t go away. In the Legends timeline, just two months after …

If you’ve been watching Star Wars long enough, you’ve probably noticed there’s one number that keeps popping up: 1138. It’s not the code to the Death Star trash compactor, and it’s not some secret clone designation you missed in the lore. It’s something even cooler — a nod to George Lucas’s very first feature film, …
