I’ve been thinking about Anakin’s two titles—General and Knight—and which one he actually preferred. As a General, he had the loyalty of his troops and the freedom to act. As a Knight, he was bound by Jedi traditions that often frustrated him. If I had to guess, I’d say he loved the respect he got …

When I first learned that R2-D2 wasn’t purely a robot, my mind was blown. Turns out, back in the ’70s, technology wasn’t reliable enough to make R2 fully robotic.

After the devastating events of Order 66, the Empire underwent a radical shift in its military policy. Gone were the clone troopers, replaced by rigorously trained human Stormtroopers. But why humans? There are a couple of theories. Perhaps it’s practical—the Empire found it easier to design armor for human bodies.  Or maybe it’s deeper than …

So, let’s talk about that moment in The Rise of Skywalker. When Rey introduced herself as “Rey Skywalker,” I remember sitting there thinking, “Wait… what?” It was emotional, sure, but it left a lot of fans scratching their heads. Was it a tribute? A way to start fresh? Or just a storytelling choice that didn’t …
