Star Wars: Clone Wars’ Must-Watch Chapters

This week, the Clone War begins…again! But we’re not returning to the 3DCG battlefields of Lucasfilm’s beloved, iconic animated series (not until Bad Batch, at least). Instead, Disney+ is finally taking us back a long, long time ago—to 2003, to re-experience our first animated taste of one of Star Wars’ most legendary conflicts: Genndy Tartakovsky’s…

How Star Wars‘ Biggest Fan Wiki Found Itself in a Fight Over Trans Identity

If you’re a Star Wars fan online, there stands a high chance that you’ve not only heard of Wookieepedia—the Fandom-owned community resource archiving eons of material from the franchise—but spent more time than you’d like to admit looking up everything from Ickabel G’ont to the history of the Grysk Hegemony. But an internal community debate…

Adam Driver’s Version of Kylo Ren’s Backstory Is Realistic and Depressing

Kylo Ren has an official backstory, which involves him being shipped off to Luke’s Jedi Academy, his angst and frustration at trying to live up to his large legacy, and more than a little bit of big Dark Side intervention from the baddies of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. In Adam Driver’s mind, that story…

Hoth Leia Is the Best Leia

Leia Organa is Star Wars’ greatest character. She is, also, like her mother before her, the proprietor of many excellent fashions. But as The Empire Strikes Back turns 40 today, we’re reminded of the absolute best of them all: Leia’s jumpsuit and braids for commanding the Rebellion on the ice planet Hoth. Yes, yes, the…

This Animated Princess Leia Star Wars Short Is Just Pure Joy

Though the first two Star Wars trilogies were primarily Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader’s stories, the sequel trilogy made it very clear Leia Organa is right up there with them. Oh, sure. In the original trilogy, Leia didn’t have quite the arc that her brother or father did. And the sequel trilogy is obviously Rey’s…

Leia Organa’s Secret Weapon Is What Binds the Women of This Week’s Star Wars Comics Together

And no, it’s not her blaster, although that does come up. There are a lot of similarities in the tales told between this week’s entries in Marvel’s ongoing Age of Resistance anthology series, setting up the world around the films in the sequel trilogy: Age of Resistance: Rey and Age of Resistance: Rose Tico, both…

Of Course Princess Leia Has a Space PhD

Over the weekend, the internet promptly freaked out when it rediscovered that George Lucas described part of Princess Leia’s backstory for the first Star Wars movie as someone who “got her PhD at nineteen.” But, in all honesty, why should we be so surprised to learn that she’s Dr. Leia Organa, PhD? When you think…

Princess Leia Has Received Her Own Political Attack Ad

Election mania is sweeping the U.S., and not even fictitious politicians can escape the vicious cycle of attack ads. The short skit comes from this week’s episode of The Star Wars Show, which is weirdly proving itself a great source of Star Wars info. This video, however, is just goofy fun, tying in with the…

All the Major Star Wars Secrets Revealed in the New Novel Bloodline

Even with all the books and comics out there right now, Disney’s new Star Wars canon is still in its earliest days, especially when it comes to the time period between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.

Han Solo Figures Out the Whole Brother-Sister Thing

Given its reputation as family friendly, the original Star Wars trilogy has a surprising amount of incest in it. While we noticed the problem with the Luke-Leia-Han love triangle early on, Mr. Solo didn’t catch on until right here. At least someone figured out a reason behind all of Harrison Ford’s sloppy-twitchy face acting…. (Via…
