At the end of Return of the Jedi, the second Death Star is destroyed above Endor, and both the Emperor and Darth Vader are killed. During the battle, we clearly see a massive Imperial fleet deployed around the station, Star Destroyers, command ships, and support vessels filling the system. But once the Death Star explodes, …

It’s a running joke that starts in Star Wars: A New Hope and carries all the way through to Star Wars: The Force Awakens: the Millennium Falcon looks like a piece of junk. When Luke first sees it, his reaction is immediate, “What a piece of junk!” Leia later delivers the same judgment in her …

Across Star Wars, ships are stolen with surprising ease. Characters regularly walk into hangars, climb aboard vessels they don’t own, and take off without keys, passcodes, or meaningful security checks. This happens so often that it feels normal, even though the galaxy clearly has advanced technology. We see this as early as The Phantom Menace, …

In the Star Wars films, we usually see stormtroopers portrayed as ineffective. Their marksmanship looks poor, their tactics are sloppy, and they’re often defeated by Rebels and even the Ewoks. On screen, they rarely come across as elite soldiers. But elsewhere in Star Wars lore, we’re told something very different. Stormtroopers are described as some …

It’s hard not to think of Harrison Ford playing Han Solo and consider that another actor could have played that role. Yet, a swarm of actors auditioned for the part, with some turning it down and others not landing it. Here are five top actors who almost played Han Solo. You can decide if Ford …

I keep running into this idea that even Yoda was a little afraid of Mace Windu — not because Mace could beat him in a duel, but because he stood closer to the dark than almost any other Jedi on the Council. But we never actually see that conversation, or hear Yoda say it himself. …

Darth Sidious, Emperor Palpatine, was definitely the one above everything in the Star Wars galaxy. Under his rule, there were no Force-wielders left who could truly threaten him anymore. That’s why the day Palpatine realized Yoda was dead should’ve been the moment he felt happiest. But somehow, it was also the moment he felt the …

The aircraft, registered JA743A, operated flight NH270 from Fukuoka to Tokyo Haneda on January 9, closing the curtain on nearly nine years of cinematic magic …

Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One. Born of the Force itself. Trained by Obi-Wan, prophesied by the Jedi, and feared by the Sith. Even before he turned, everyone around him knew how powerful he was—and how much more dangerous he could become. But that future never happened.  And according to George Lucas, Anakin wasn’t the …

We’ve all seen the photos, George Lucas visiting The Mandalorian set, standing next to Grogu, chatting with Dave Filoni. And by all public signs, he’s been quietly supportive of the show.
