Hey Reader! 👋

The Jedi Temple Guards have always been a mystery to me. Cloaked in anonymity and trained to protect the heart of the Jedi Order, they seemed unstoppable. But when Order 66 struck and the Temple fell, they were… gone. No dramatic last stands, no mentions in the chaos.

It’s like they vanished into thin air.

It’s a story that’s tragic, and I can’t wait to share it with you.👇

“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...

"This is Red Five, I’m going in." – Luke Skywalker, A New Hope Did You Know? In the original Star Wars film, Greedo was played by actress Maria De Aragon for certain close-up shots. When the mask's mouth mechanism broke, she used a clothespin between her teeth to move it manually. De Aragon encountered breathing issues inside the mask during filming. Observing her distress, George Lucas acted promptly, an intervention she believed saved her life. Hey Reader, You know how as a kid, you’d dream...
