The Scariest Scenes in Star Wars

Fear may be a path to the Dark Side but it’s not something most people associate with Star Wars. When you think Star Wars you think sweeping sci-fi adventure or maybe even laid back Western swagger. You rarely think of nail-biting dread or shocking jump scares. They’re in there though and this Halloween, we’ve gone…

All The Mandalorian Info You Need to Remember Before Season 2

We know almost nothing about the new season of The Mandalorian. Oh sure, there are rumors. There’s even been footage. But outside of some very vague statements (and lots of Baby Yoda merch), we honestly have no idea where the story is going or what surprises could be waiting for us. Unless, well, you look back.…

Greedo taking the first blaster shot—well, missing it and taking one right through his chest—in Star Wars: A New Hope will somehow remain one of the weirdest controversies in a franchise that is almost self-sustained by how much its fans argue with each other.

Other times it’s much less practical, like buying a novelty waffle maker for no good reason whatsoever.
