This Order Terrified Vader


“Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.”
– Darth Sidious, Return of the Jedi

Hey Reader, it’s Vance here! 👋

It’s no secret Darth Vader was one of the most terrifying figures in the galaxy. He choked officers for minor failures, wiped out Jedi, and walked fearlessly into battle. But what if I told you there was one order that made even Vader pause? An order he couldn’t defy.

Here’s the kicker: it wasn’t just because of the clones themselves—it was what the order represented. Palpatine’s grip on Vader wasn’t just physical or emotional; it was absolute. This one moment shows just how tightly the Emperor kept Vader on a leash, even when he was supposed to be the galaxy’s enforcer.

Let’s dig into the wild story below.👇

Morgan Elsbeth Is a Real Life Badass

I just learned something super cool about Diana Lee Inosanto, who plays Morgan Elsbeth in Ahsoka. Not only is she an incredible actress, but she’s also a lifelong martial artist who trained with Bruce Lee (her godfather!) and Brandon Lee. She’s hands down one of my favorite Star Wars villains since Darth Maul—and like him, she’s played by a real stunt pro. Did I mention she still does her own stunts at almost 60? Absolute legend.

In The Last Jedi, Luke still bears the blaster shot he received to his robotic hand in Return of the Jedi. 😱 Hey Reader, it’s Vance here! 👋 When I rewatched Episode V not too long ago, I paused right at that moment, Leia placing something over Luke’s arm.
