He Saw Vader’s Face… And Survived


"He is more machine now than man. Twisted and evil."
– Obi-Wan Kenobi, Return of the Jedi (Episode VI)

Did You Know?

Donnie Yen (Chirrut Îmwe in Rogue One and the Ip Man legend) once left a Hong Kong nightclub with his girlfriend, only to be ambushed by a gang who had been bothering them earlier. The result? Donnie sent 8 of them to the hospital.🔥


Hey Reader! 👋

Imagine you’re an Imperial officer. Your day-to-day involves dodging the wrath of a guy who can choke you through a Zoom call. Now imagine you accidentally walk in on Darth Vader—mask off, face exposed—and instead of turning into space dust, you somehow live to tell the tale.

Sounds impossible, right?

Well, one officer actually did it. He got the rarest peek behind the mask of the galaxy’s scariest Sith Lord, and Vader didn’t snap his neck for it. How did he pull off this miracle? Was Vader feeling generous that day, or was there something more going on?

This story is wild, and I can’t wait to share how this officer managed to escape the ultimate “wrong place, wrong time” scenario.

Just a Reminder 🔥

The text from the image:

"Just a reminder that this little lady went toe-to-toe with Grievous as a kid, but grew up to beat Vader and Maul. She should be considered by fans to be on the Mt. Rushmore of warriors in Star Wars."


Question of the Day
