Shower Thoughts

Reader 👋

You ever wonder if Earth exists in the Star Wars universe? I always assumed it didn’t—after all, it’s “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” But here’s the thing: Earth actually does exist in Star Wars canon. And the way it’s connected to the galaxy we love is absolutely wild.

For starters, Earth is mentioned in the Star Tours ride as part of the “Earth System,” a hub for space travel to places like Naboo and Endor. And in Legends, things get even crazier—like the story where Han and Chewie crash-land in the Pacific Northwest and Chewie becomes… Sasquatch.

I dug deep into Earth’s bizarre place in Star Wars lore, and I can’t wait to share the details with you.👇

"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.
