It's All Star Wars

Who played HERMI ODLE

Video 12th February 2026 Max

For Star Wars 100 Interviews, Darryl James (DJ) has interviewed 15 people from Jabba’s cohort. (Find them bundled as a Playlist here on the channel). This time, DJ talks with HERMI ODLE performer, PHILIP HERBERT.

DJ said, “Original Trilogy performers are getting harder to track down and even more difficult to interview. So, meeting Philip Herbert and Ailsa Berk at 2023’s Star Wars Family Fun Day in the U.K. was a total delight. Especially, to find them both at one event.

Who is Maul?

21st January 2026 Max

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The Dathomirian is an iconic villain in the Star Wars galaxy, yet remains a mysterious figure.

By Lucas Seastrom

Ever since his iconic debut in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Maul has had a way of showing up where he’s least expected.

Midway through the original television run of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, he seemingly came back from the dead to seek revenge against Obi-Wan Kenobi. In the midst of a cast of mostly new characters in Star Wars Rebels, we saw Maul reemerge as a dangerous manipulator. And at the end of a live-action feature about the original trilogy scoundrel Han Solo, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Maul the crime lord made a surprise cameo.

Maul’s prevalence is all the more poignant because, somehow, he manages to remain so enigmatic. With the first trailer tease below signaling his upcoming return in Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, the new animated series on Disney+ later this year, it’s worth taking stock of what we know about the Dathomirian Zabrak so far…

The Stupendous Wave

The ONLY Sith Who Became STRONGER Through Cybernetics

Video 27th December 2025 Max

This video explores why most Sith became weaker after losing their bodies, and why Anakin Skywalker’s transformation into Darth Vader ultimately limited his true potential, despite his immense power. While cybernetics kept him alive, they also restricted his connection to the Force and locked him into a state of constant conflict and restraint. In contrast, Darth Gean represents the rare exception a Sith who did not lose herself to reconstruction, but instead grew stronger through it. By comparing their paths, this video breaks down how identity, control, and adaptation determined whether cybernetics became a prison or a source of power.

Who is Jaxxon?

5th September 2025 Max

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The unforgettable Legends character returns in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past, nearly 50 years after his first appearance in Star Wars comics.

By Lucas Seastrom

“Who in the Holy Hutch are you?” This introduction in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past could only come from one character. “I’m not a bunny,” this humanoid, green rabbit says. “The name’s Jaxxon. You probably haven’t heard of me because I’m a real deep-cut….”

When Sig and Dev Greebling are transported into a mysterious, secret realm in the sequel series to LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, premiering on Disney+ September 19, the brothers immediately encounter the one and only Jaxxon. The spunky, energetic character is himself a piece from the past, after a debut 48 years ago in some of the very first original stories told in Star Wars comics….

A legendary Lepi
As early as 1977, storytellers beyond creator George Lucas were already experimenting with new characters, worlds, and far-flung tales in the galaxy far, far away. The Marvel comics adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) began its serialization before the release of the film that May. The movie story was complete within six issues. Writer Roy Thomas and artist Howard Chaykin had a relatively blank canvas to imagine the “continuing the saga begun in the film by George Lucas.”…

Who is Cad Bane?

28th May 2025 Max

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The longtime bounty hunter is a tough match for any foe, and over the decades has remained firmly committed to his own self-gain.

By Lucas Seastrom

Cad Bane is one of the most effective bounty hunters ever depicted in the Star Wars galaxy. In recent years, audiences have grown accustomed to watching the exploits of sophisticated fighters like Din Djarin in The Mandalorian. But in earlier decades with the release of the first Star Wars trilogies, characters like Boba and Jango Fett received limited screen time to demonstrate their abilities. It was the debut of Cad Bane in the Season 1 finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars that fully introduced fans to a bounty hunter in their prime.

The epitome of the self-interested, ruthless loner, Bane’s return in Lucasfilm Animation’s Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld – now available to stream on Disney+ – sheds light on the character’s little-known origins. But what do the established stories in both animation and live-action tell us about this elusive bounty hunter?

A Brief from George Lucas
While featuring stories on the front lines involving Jedi, clone troopers, and their Separatist foes, The Clone Wars also took plenty of time to explore the criminal underbelly and political intrigues of the Star Wars galaxy. Cad Bane emerged as a bounty hunter specially-equipped for battling Jedi, the chief threat to all nefarious dealings in that era. When supervising director Dave Filoni and screenwriter Henry Gilroy began envisioning such a character, the show’s creator George Lucas made a couple specific suggestions…

Who Is Asajj Ventress?

28th May 2025 Max

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

As we explore her next chapter in Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld, we find ourselves asking: How did you become this, Asajj?

By Kelly Knox

Two red lightsabers ignite in the dark. With a snarl and an unmatched fury, the assassin strikes. Who was she before wrath consumed her? And who will she become?

With her distinct character design, a history of witty banter with a certain sassy Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a surprising path through the galaxy far, far away, Asajj Ventress has become a Star Wars fan favorite. Comic books, animation, and novels explore the intriguing character’s long history as she discovers who she really is and what she believes in.

Let’s get re-acquainted with the Nightsister as she returns in the recently released Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld!…

Who Is Mon Mothma?

8th April 2025 Max

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Revisiting the iconic character’s evolution from senator to rebel leader and beyond.

By Dustin Diehl

“Many Bothans died to bring us this information.”

No one could have guessed this line from 1983’s Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, uttered with such solemnity, would become so memorable — or that the character who delivered it, Mon Mothma, would become one of the most complex and enduring characters in the Star Wars saga.

But what led her to that briefing room on Home One?

In Andor — with new episodes arriving on Disney+ as Season 2 premieres later this month, — we get our best look yet at the fires that forged this unforgettable leader. In anticipation of Mon’s return to the screen, let’s revisit her journey so far….

Who Is Cassian Andor?

17th December 2024 Max

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

How an orphan of Kenari became an unstoppable force for galactic good.

By Kelly Knox

Cassian Andor was a survivor, a spy, and a fighter. Willing to do whatever the Rebel Alliance needed, he often made unthinkable decisions at a moment’s notice. His determined efforts in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story made every subsequent victory of the Rebellion possible. But who was Cassian Andor before his path crossed with Jyn Erso?

Andor A Star Wars Story, returning to Disney+ on April 22, 2025, promises to uncover more of his story. But as we mark the anniversary of the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, let’s catch up with Cassian before learning how his arc unfolds between the events of Season 1 and the film….

Who Arrrrr the Pirates in the New Republic?

25th November 2024 Max

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Never trust a pirate.

By Kelly Knox

Scoundrel. Scoun-drel?

Sure, it’s cute when Han Solo says it in that flirty voice of his. But no one likes the sound of that word when they cross paths with an unscrupulous pirate in the galaxy far, far away!

With big personalities matched only by their greed, the pirates running rampant in the New Republic typically have no qualms about taking advantage of anyone and anything in their way. You’re probably already acquainted with some of them, like Gorian Shard and Vane.

Soon we’ll have even more names to add to that list, like Gunter, Brutus, and SM-33 (played by Nick Frost). Before we meet these spacefaring scalawags in the upcoming Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, let’s take a closer look at the pirates who have already crossed paths with some of the galaxy’s greatest heroes. All hands on deck!…

Who’s Who on the Jedi Council

12th April 2024 Max

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

If you don’t know Eeth Koth or Saesee Tinn, this cheat sheet to the Jedi Council is here to help.

By Kelly Knox

It’s been 25 years since we got our very first look at the Jedi Council in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The 12 Jedi Masters on the Council oversee the thousands of knights, Padawans, and younglings in the Jedi Order in their service to the Galactic Republic. A simple matter for Jedi who have spent lifetimes mastering the ways of the Force, right?

You’d be surprised.

In John Jackson Miller’s new novel Star Wars: The Living Force, readers find out firsthand that red tape can be just as formidable as red-bladed lightsabers in the galaxy far, far away. Set just before the events of The Phantom Menace, the Jedi Masters on the Council handle Republic matters that are more bureaucratic than scholastic. Meetings, inventories, meetings, doling out knight and Padawan assignments, more meetings… the list of their responsibilities goes on and on…
