Star Wars 100 Interviews

Who played HERMI ODLE

Video Leave a comment

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.

We FINALLY Understand Why Palpatine VALUED Maul More Than Dooku

Video Leave a comment

In Star Wars Legends lore, Darth Sidious is often portrayed as a cold manipulator who views everyone as expendable, yet the relationship between Palpatine and Darth Maul reveals a far more complex and disturbing truth. Drawing from sources like the Journal of Darth Maul, this video explores how Sidious invested deeply in Maul’s training, education, and future, raising him not merely as an assassin but as a true Sith apprentice shaped through calculated cruelty, reward, and psychological control. From brutal childhood trials to rare gifts like the Sith Infiltrator and advanced Sith knowledge, the evidence suggests that Maul held unique value in Sidious’ long term plans, making his loss on Naboo a genuine blow to the Dark Lord. This deep dive examines whether Sidious truly cared for Maul in the only way a Sith can value another being and what Maul’s survival meant for the Rule of Two and the future of the Sith

We FINALLY Understand The EVIL of Red Lightsaber Crystals

Video Leave a comment

In Star Wars Legends, the Jedi were not just symbolically opposed to Sith lightsabers they genuinely feared them, and this video breaks down why. From the origins of red blades during the Hundred Year Darkness, to the rise of synthetic crystals forged through Sith alchemy, to chilling firsthand Jedi accounts suggesting corruption and psychological influence, we explore the three core reasons the Jedi Order viewed Sith lightsabers as something uniquely dangerous. Drawing directly from Legends era sources, Old Republic history, and rare holobook entries, this deep dive explains how red crystals could destabilize Jedi weapons, reflect the fall of former Jedi, and even inspire terror on the battlefield. If you want a lore accurate, Legends focused exploration of why Sith lightsabers were more than just a different color and why the Jedi avoided them at all costs this is one holocron you don’t want to miss.

The FORBIDDEN Jedi Title Outlawed By the High Council

Video Leave a comment

There was once a forbidden rank within the Jedi Order so powerful and controversial that the High Council permanently erased it from history: the Jedi Lords. In this Star Wars Legends deep dive, we explore how Jedi Masters during the New Sith Wars were forced to rule worlds, lead armies, and govern entire systems as kings and warlords to save the collapsing Republic, only to become feared by their own Order. From the Dark Age of the Republic and the rise of the Grand Council, to the Army of Light, the Ruusan Campaign, and Darth Bane’s manipulation of the final battle, this video examines how the Jedi Lords helped end the Sith threat but ultimately sealed their own destruction. We also ask the unsettling question: if the Jedi Lords had survived into the Clone Wars, could they have resisted Order 66 and the rise of the Empire, or were they always destined to fall?

Breaking Down Kathleen Kennedy’s Biggest Mistakes

Video Leave a comment

For years, Star Wars fans have debated the direction of Lucasfilm under Kathleen Kennedy and now, with her stepping down, it’s time to take a clear, honest look back.

In this video, I break down Kathleen Kennedy’s biggest missteps during her time as Lucasfilm President: what went wrong, why certain decisions divided the fanbase, and how these choices shaped the modern Star Wars era. I also talk about her most successful Star Wars projects and how inconsistency between projects was her biggest mistake.

More importantly, we talk about what Lucasfilm can do better moving forward. What lessons should Disney take from this era? What needs to change to rebuild trust with fans and deliver consistent, high-quality Star Wars stories again? If you care about the future of Star Wars this conversation matters!

The Thousand Faces of Cassian Andor

Video Leave a comment

Almost three after the massive success of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in 2016– and several failed iterations of a Rogue One spinoff series about the characters of Cassian Andor and K-2SO– Hollywood script doctor Tony Gilroy had finally decided to write his friend Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, a long-overdue letter; one that took the experiment that he, Gareth Edwards, and the cast and crew of Rogue One had started years ago to the next level. It wasn’t just his pitch for what a Cassian Andor series should be all about; it was Gilroy’s manifesto, framing the Star Wars Galaxy as the backdrop for a story about a revolutionary in-the-making, set upon a collision-course with history, destiny, and the unrelenting forces of oppression.

The ONLY Planet Darth Vitiate DELETED From His Archives

Video Leave a comment

In this deep lore breakdown, we explore the disturbing legacy of Vodal Kressh, a rare Sith prodigy whose mastery of alchemy rivaled even Sith Emperor Vitiate himself, and whose discoveries on the cursed world of Athiss were so dangerous that they were erased from Sith history. Tracing the anomalous Kressh bloodline back to Ludo Kressh, this video examines why Sith alchemy is considered the first great sin, how Kressh’s voluntary following terrified the Emperor, and why both Jedi and Sith ultimately chose to seal and abandon Athiss rather than control it. What Vodal Kressh uncovered was not merely forbidden knowledge, but something so existentially threatening that even the most powerful Sith in history chose silence over domination.

The ONLY Rakata to Keep THE FORCE and Why

Video Leave a comment

The Rakata were a species so cruel that the Force itself seemed to abandon them, treating the dark side not as something to understand but as fuel to burn the galaxy in conquest and slavery. Yet even among them there was an outlier. Soa, the Infernal One, was the most powerful Rakata predator to ever live, a conqueror of a thousand worlds and a ruler of Korriban who viewed the Force as something greater than mere power. In this video, we explore Soa’s rise within the Infinite Empire, his control of Korriban and interactions with the Sith species, the formation of his Infernal Council, and why the Rakata themselves ultimately turned against him. We break down how he was sealed within the Eternity Vault on Belsavis, why he retained his connection to the Force when his species lost theirs, and how his awakening during the Galactic War forced both Jedi and Sith to confront an ancient dark side threat neither could ignore. This is the story of the Rakata’s greatest monster, the limits of raw power, and why the Sith ultimately surpassed the Infinite Empire.

This force ability is OP… why didn’t the Jedi use it during the Clone Wars?

Video Leave a comment

The Jedi as individual combatants on the frontlines of the clone wars battlefield were awe-inspiring to watch, but their true value in a military force is their ability to utilize a power known as battlefield meditation. Today we take a look at this rare force ability and why it was absent during the Clone Wars.
