This is Nelson Shin, a Korean animator who finalized the look and contributed to the sound design of the most legendary fictional weapon of all time: the lightsaber!

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.

Curious, I started piecing together the story of these silent protectors. What I found? Shocking. Some of them stood their ground and fought valiantly, but others had a very different fate—one of them even turned to the dark side, becoming the Grand Inquisitor. 🤯

How does a defender of peace end up hunting Jedi?

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

Where Were The Jedi Temple Guards During Order 66? 🤔

Even someone as powerful as Palpatine had figures in the Sith Order he admired and learned from.👇

"No, I am your father." — Darth Vader "That's impossible!" — Luke Skywalker (The Empire Strikes Back) Did You Know? 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. My brain went, “Wait, what is that thing?” I’d seen this movie a dozen times before, but I never stopped to think about that...

“It’s a trap.” - Admiral Ackbar, Return of the Jedi Did You Know? Morgan Elsbeth Is A Real Life Badass Diana Lee Inosanto isn’t just playing a villain—she’s the real deal! Raised around and trained by her godfather, Bruce Lee, and Brandon Lee, she brings authentic martial arts mastery to Morgan Elsbeth. Easily one of my favorite Star Wars villains since Darth Maul (another legendary villain portrayed by a stunt performer). Even more incredible: She does ALL her own stunts at nearly 60....

"I won't lose you the way I lost my mother." — Anakin Skywalker, Revenge of the Sith Did You Know? Darth Vectivus was possibly the nicest Sith Lord in Star Wars history. A former businessman turned Sith out of simple curiosity, Vectivus maintained strong personal ethics, never succumbed to Sith violence, and viewed the Dark Side as a research tool.
