"You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me."
Darth Vader to Luke in Return of the Jedi

Did You Know?

With a total cost of $447 million, The Force Awakens (2015) is the most expensive movie in history. Thanks to the UK’s Film Tax Relief, Disney got $86.6 million reimbursed. And, of course, the movie raked in $2.1 billion worldwide.

Hey Reader 👋

You know that classic underdog story where someone beats the odds and wins? Yeah, that’s Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. But let’s be real here—Vader had decades of training and could choke someone just by thinking about it. Luke barely had four years and no one to spar with except… Yoda?

So, how did he actually outmatch Vader?

I’ve been obsessing over this for years, and the explanation is so much better than just “he believed in himself.” 😅 It’s deeper, it’s emotional, and it’s what makes Star Wars the masterpiece we all love.

Let me explain—you’ll never see that fight the same way again.👇

"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.
