Did You Know?

Palpatine's name is never said in the original trilogy. He's always just referred to as "the Emperor." He's called Palpatine in supplemental materials, like the novelizations and action figures, but never on screen.


Hey Reader, it’s Vance here! 👋

I grew up daydreaming about piloting an X-Wing, saving the galaxy, and looking ridiculously cool while doing it. So, when I found out Boeing and Disney teamed up to actually build a flying X-Wing Starfighter—like, a real one—I instantly turned into a kid again. Seriously, it even carries cargo.

"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.
