What Would Have Happened If Obi-Wan Had Confronted Palpatine In Yoda's Stead?
We know that Obi-Wan didn’t want to go to Mustafar to battle Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. He begged Master Yoda to let him go fight Darth Sidious, but we know the outcome of the decision. Yoda went to battle Darth Sidious in Senate chambers, and Obi-Wan went to confront his fallen padawan. What would have happened if Obi-Wan had gone to fight Emperor Palpatine? Would things have ended differently for Anakin and Obi-Wan? Was there ever any hope or point to the choices made by Yoda? I think there is a vast majority of fans who have asked themselves these questions. I certainly have pondered the possibility, and, while there is really no additional information to explain the “What if?” scenario to my knowledge, I think there is a conclusive answer to the question.

Mark Hamill Has Never Seen This Trailer For 'The Empire Strikes Back' Until Now
The Empire Strikes Back opened 41 years ago on May 21, 1980. Everyone was excited to see the saga continued with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2. Fans still remembered the destruction of the Death Star, and could not wait to see what the Empire had in store for our heroes. Back in the time long before YouTube and the internet, when movie trailers were only shown in movie theaters (while you were still getting popcorn or using the restroom), many probably did not get a chance to see the trailer for the next installment in the Star Wars saga back when it first came out. Well, it appears that Mr. Mark Hamill himself was one of those people. We always joked that actors usually never saw themselves in the movie they were in because they had already lived it. Well, apparently some never saw the trailer of their movie either. When Stephen Stanton, voice actor of Wilhuff Tarkin in The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Bad Batch tweeted the rarely seen trailer, Hamill could not help but comment on it.

What Would Have Happened If Obi-Wan Was The One To Arrest Palpatine?
The attempted arresting of Chancellor, later Emperor, Palpatine by the Jedi Council is one of the most important moments in Revenge of the Sith and the Star Wars universe as a whole. In a lot of ways, it was the last chance the Jedi had to stop Darth Sidious, and it also served as the moment that seals Anakin's fall to the Dark Side and Sidious' victory over the Jedi. Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin arrived at the Chancellor's office to arrest the secret Sith Lord, but unfortunately, Sidious proved to be too powerful for the Jedi Masters. Aided by Anakin Skywalker, soon to be Darth Vader, Darth Sidious killed all the Jedi Masters sent to arrest him.

What It's Like Inside The 'Star Wars' Plane
Flight is a staple of the Star Wars franchise. Whether it be via the Millennium Falcon, X-wings, Star Destroyers, or jetpacks, flight is how the characters get from place to place, especially from planet to planet. We have experienced flight in the galaxy vicariously via games like Rogue Squadron or rides like Smuggler's Run at Galaxy's Edge. Since it tends to involve space for a huge chunk of the stories we have seen, however, airplanes are not much of a thing within the Star Wars galaxy. We see ships flying in the air of various planets' atmospheres, but not really any airplanes. However, that does not mean that there can be no airplanes in our world that are Star Wars themed.

Top 5 Best Moments From R2-D2 In 'Star Wars'
Out of all the many characters within the Star Wars universe, none is more courageous, determined, and braver than everyone’s favorite astromech droid, R2-D2. Artoo is not only one of the bravest characters from the Skywalker saga, but also is one of the only characters to have appeared in the entire Skywalker saga. Here are the top five R2-D2 moments:

10 Reasons 'The Phantom Menace' Is The Best 'Star Wars' Movie
When one speaks of the best Star Wars movie, long-time classic titles such as The Empire Strikes Back or A New Hope frequently come to mind. One could also argue that Revenge of the Sith or Rogue One are worthy contenders as well. What is certain in the eyes of the majority, however, is that Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace would never come close to being one of the top movies of the franchise. In fact, fans are quick to criticize it for lacking momentum or excitement and rank it among the worst Star Wars films.

Palpatine Admitted The Jedi He Feared Most, And It May Surprise You
Throughout the Star Wars franchise, we have been introduced to many Jedi. Some were renowned for the skills with a lightsaber, some preferred to rely mostly on the Force, but all had their particular skillset. Whilst we saw some of these characters take on the Dark Lord of the Sith, Palpatine, in one-on-one combat via saber and the Force, it turns out there was really only one in particular he feared, and it's someone very few people would have expected, as most forget the character is actually a Jedi.

10 Things You Did Not Know About Corellia
Each planet in the Star Wars universe is very different from each other. Their unique terrain and history give rise to a plethora of characters from all over the galaxy. Corellia, located in the galaxy’s Core Worlds, is no exception. In fact, Corellia is very important in the Star Wars universe. It is the capital planet of the Corellian System, which include Selonia, Drall, Tralus, and Talus, also known as the Five Brothers (with Corellia being the Eldest Brother). Many characters hailed from Corellia, making more important to Star Wars lore than other planets. Here are some things that you may not know about Corellia.

10 Interesting Facts About 'Star Wars' You Never Knew
Star Wars is a series that has spanned several generations, and with any series that has lasted that long, there are bound to be a few behind-the-scenes goofs, random factoids, compromises, and interesting tidbits that not everyone may be aware of. Conversely, when a series has existed since 1977, it can be hard to find information that fans don’t already know. That is doubly true for a series like Star Wars that also exists in the age of the internet. That being said, I compiled a list of some Star Wars facts that I don’t see widely talked about but are still interesting.

A Familiar Face Made An Appearance In 'War of the Bounty Hunters'
The second season of The Mandalorian marked the return of a popular character to the screen. We last saw him chronologically in Return of the Jedi when he fell into the sarlacc pit. How many of us cheered when the Slave I streaked across the clear sky in “Chapter 14: The Tragedy?” When the season finale of The Mandalorian aired back in December 2020, announcing the new spin-off The Book of Boba Fett, we could not wait to see more adventures of Boba Fett. In The Clone Wars television series, he was a mere adolescent learning about the world. In The Book of Boba Fett, he would be older, and more mature, and most likely have a different outlook on life after the time spent inside the Sarlaac. The adventures of Boba Fett at the height of his bounty hunter career were chronicled in Legends novels. However, what happened after his custody of Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back? The crossover event Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters hoped to write that story into canon.
