Darth Vader’s Best Burns, Not Counting the Ones Covering His Entire Body

Darth Vader is fearsome. Darth Vader is tragic. But also? Darth Vader is the sassiest Sith lord around. From the Star Wars movies to the current comic, Vader is capable of pulling out fantastic insults and comebacks, as easily as his lightsaber. Here are some of the our favorite put-downs from the Dark Lord himself.…

The Death Star Has the Most Impressive Public Transit System in the Galaxy

After the release of the Rogue One trailer, the internet was abuzz with theories that parts of the new Star Wars film were filmed in a London Tube station. Which is, of course, not true. Everyone knows that the Death Star has an incredibly comprehensive public transit system—possibly the best in the universe. Built during…

The second season of Star Wars Rebels will conclude on March 30 with an hour-long episode and a major battle—a battle fans have been waiting for for years, but the combatants never saw coming.

There’s No Way All the Heroes Can Survive the End of Star Wars Rebels

“We’re doomed.” C-3PO’s classic Star Wars line was sort of a joke—but it could be literally true, when it comes to the heroes of Star Wars Rebels. Because there’s no way that all of these people can all still be alive by the end of the series. Right? Ever since the Star Wars universe started…

Every Star Wars Fan Is Going to Want This Stupid Darth Vader Toothpick Dispenser

There are a lot of dumb Star Wars-branded products on the market, and a Darth Vader toothpick dispenser certainly had the potential to be one of the worst. But by having Vader snatch and wield a toothpick like it was his lightsaber, Bandai has made this absurd collectible a must-have addition to any collection. Using…

This Is What Darth Vader’s Theme Would Have Been If He Had Been The Hero

Darth Vader’s Imperial March is – apart from the Main Theme – the most iconic part of the music of Star Wars. It’s big, bombastic and menacing. So, what happens when you change the key that piece is in? Musician Ian Gordon went and took The Imperial March and recomposed it into a Major key,…

In Three Pages, This Week’s Darth Vader Comic Shows Us the Ballsiest Thing Vader Has Ever Done

I genuinely love Kieron Gillen, Salvador Larocca, and Edgar Delgado’s work on the Darth Vader comic. The team has completely nailed what makes Vader a terrifyingly powerful, yet funny character. Case in point is the opening to this week’s Darth Vader #16, which features Vader at his most defiant. https://gizmodo.com/pro-tip-never-ask-darth-vader-to-dance-1749505306 Very minor spoilers ahead for…

Stupid Kylo Ren Has the Wrong Darth Vader Helmet

The Lord of the Knights of Ren got swindled. It turns out the semi-melted helmet he opens his heart to in The Force Awakens isn’t Vader’s real helmet from his pyre on Endor in Return of the Jedi—and here’s the proof. Darth Vader actor David Prowse just shared this picture of the actual helmet that…

A Stormtrooper Bouquet Is an Even Better Way to Say ‘I Love You (and Star Wars)’

Yesterday we mistakingly declared that a bouquet of tiny dinosaurs was the best Valentine’s Day gift—we were wrong. If you really want someone to know you love them, or you’re sorry, or you’re trying to rule the galaxy, it’s better said with a bouquet of assorted Star Wars characters. At $60 each bouquet is about…

Kylo Ren Is Everything That Anakin Skywalker Should Have Been

Kylo Ren had a huge legacy to live up to in the new Star Wars, because Darth Vader is one of cinema’s all-time great villains. But Vader’s legacy is also a huge part of what makes Kylo Ren so fascinating—because he’s everything that Anakin Skywalker should have been in the prequels. A warning: there will…

Pro-Tip: Never Ask Darth Vader to Dance

Darth Vader is many things—tragic villain, almighty horror, dab hand with a lightsaber—but he is not a dancer. Thanks the the Darth Vader Annual, we now know that this is what happens when you’re stupid enough to insist that the Dark Lord of the Sith take you for a twirl on the dance floor. Minor…

The New Star Wars Crossover Comic Rejuvenates Darth Vader’s Terrifying Reputation

Darth Vader should be an immensely intimidating figure. Emphasis on the should, because over the years, his appearances in increasingly silly scenarios as part of Star Wars’ place in pop culture have blunted his reputation. But Vader Down’s first issue is a fantastic reminder that we should never underestimate the power of the Dark Side.…
