When the Jedi Went to WAR AGAINST the Republic (Pius Dea Era)

In this video, we dive into one of the darkest and most overlooked eras in Star Wars history, the Pius Dea period, when the Republic was transformed by fanaticism, human supremacy, and endless crusades against alien worlds. As the Contispex dynasty tightened its grip through religion, persecution, and war, even the Jedi Order was pushed to its breaking point, ultimately withdrawing from the Republic before making the shocking decision to fight it and seize control in order to save it from itself. This is the story of how the Jedi were radicalized by a corrupt Republic, how the Pius Dea nearly poisoned the galaxy for over a thousand years, and how this forgotten crisis created a dangerous precedent that would echo all the way to Darth Sidious and the fall of the Order

Star Wars Began Filming 50 Years Ago Today

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

On March 22, 1976, one of the most iconic films in history commenced principal photography in the deserts of Tunisia. It was a long road to reach that day, and there was an even longer one ahead

By Lucas Seastrom

On March 22, 1976, the world changed, only no one knew it yet. On that morning 50 years ago, in the middle of a salt flat on the edge of North Africa’s Sahara Desert, an independent movie produced by Lucasfilm and financed by 20th Century Fox began principal photography. Its working title was The Star Wars.

Writer and director George Lucas was 31 years old that Monday. Having grown up in the small California town of Modesto, he was already a rising star among an emerging generation of American filmmakers. His first feature film, 1971’s bold and philosophical THX 1138, showed visionary potential but was a commercial failure. His second feature, 1973’s soulful and hilarious American Graffiti, became one of the most successful films of its time. Many were following the young filmmaker’s career with great interest, however few could understand the vision behind his newest project.

In truth, The Star Wars wasn’t all that different in theme from THX or Graffiti. A young boy from a backwater town seeks to break out and pursue his dreams. It was the setting of this newest film that struck so many as odd: a space fantasy realm that seemed equally inspired by Sergio Leone’s Westerns, Walt Disney’s fairy tales, and Akira Kurosawa’s epics. Lucas wanted to bring mythic dimensions to the operatic stories made popular decades earlier by the likes of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers…

By Amy Richau

The Sith part was just the beginning.

Maul isn’t just hard to kill, he’s hard to pin down. A Sith apprentice, a crime lord, and a vengeful warrior are just some of ways to describe Maul’s journey over the years. Although you don’t need to know anything Maul before watching Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, the official trailer reminded us of a few of the most dangerous Dathomirian’s appearances and our favorite epic battles so far…
