Hey Reader! 👋

When I first watched The Force Awakens, I was already an emotional wreck after Han’s death. But then came the moment that really confused me.

I remember sitting there thinking, "Wait… what? Why?"

Then, there’s an explanation and it’s not what I expected.👇

"A regular at my job knew I liked Star Wars so made me an X-wing out of car parts lying around his shop.

I smalltalk with this guy everyday and knew he was a mechanic but had no idea he made found steampunk art! Last guy you would expect. I especially love the little R2 up top and the sparkplug thrusters."

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.

“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.
