To Me, This Is The Dumbest Moment In The Movie


"This is madness!" – C-3PO

Did You Know?

Filming Star Wars in Tunisia was hindered by the first major rainstorm in 50 years, and filming The Empire Strikes Back in Norway was hindered by the worst winter storm in 50 years.


Hey Reader! 👋

Don't get me wrong, I’m always down for Star Wars pushing creative boundaries. But watching horses charge into battle on a Star Destroyer floating in mid-air?

Here’s my first thought: Why didn’t General Pryde just tilt the Star Destroyer to knock the rebels and their space horses right off?

Turns out, not every clone fits the mold. These two? They were different. And their connection to the Force led them down paths no other clone had ever walked.👇

In the short story “The Ghosts of Maul”, Darth Maul embarks on a journey to a forgotten Sith fortress on the desolate planet of Damanos. This journey takes place towards the end of Maul’s life, after he has abandoned his ties with Crimson Dawn and is now in pursuit of ancient Sith superweapons.

As Maul explores the fortress, he is confronted by apparitions of his past failures. Each apparition challenges him, forcing him to face the consequences of his actions and the path he has chosen. The final apparition is different. Instead of a failure or a foe, Maul finds himself face-to-face with the ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn...👇

Given the fact that Yoda ultimately lost that fight, is he stronger than Palpatine, or is Palpatine stronger than him? Why couldn’t he beat Palpatine?

“This is where the fun begins!” — Anakin Skywalker, Revenge of the Sith Did You Know? Palpatine's name is never said in the original trilogy. He's always just referred to as "the Emperor."
