Tales of the Jedi Premiered 3 Years Ago: A Small Series with a Massive Legacy
Three years ago today, Tales of the Jedi premiered—and for a show made up of short animated stories, it sure left a big mark on the galaxy. Released on October 26, 2022, the anthology series from Star Wars: The Clone Wars creator Dave Filoni explored the lives, choices, and tragedies of two very different Force users: Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. It wasn’t just more Clone Wars content—it was surgical storytelling, delivering sharp, emotional arcs that deepened the Star Wars universe in just six short episodes. The Art of Compact Storytelling In a franchise known for sprawling trilogies and galaxy-spanning wars, Tales of the Jedi proved that less can be more. Each episode ran under 20 minutes, yet managed to hit with the emotional weight of a full film. The Ahsoka episodes traced her journey from a wide-eyed child on Shili to the battle-hardened survivor of Order 66. The Dooku…
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes Turns 15 – A Nostalgic Blast from the Prequel Era
Fifteen years ago, in October 2009, Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes hit consoles and PCs, bringing the animated series’ energy straight into our hands. Developed by Krome Studios and published by LucasArts, it was one of those rare titles that let fans play as both Jedi and clone troopers — back when couch co-op was king and the prequel trilogy was just starting to get the love it deserved. When Star Wars Gaming Was Simpler (and Clunkier) Back in 2009, Republic Heroes wasn’t about photorealistic graphics or deep RPG progression. It was about fun, teamwork, and flinging droids off cliffs with your Jedi buddy while quoting Obi-Wan. The game followed the familiar rhythm of The Clone Wars animated series, blending over-the-top lightsaber action with Saturday-morning-cartoon energy. Players could jump between Jedi like Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, or step into the blaster-packed boots of clone…
What Star Wars Teaches Us About Embracing Uniqueness
The Star Wars saga is more than an epic of starships and battles. At its heart, it is a meditation on individuality, the power of difference, and the risks of conformity. By tracing the arcs of its characters and comparing them to real-world parallels, we can better understand why embracing uniqueness is not only valuable but necessary. The Unlikely Hero Archetype Throughout Star Wars, protagonists emerge not from privilege but from obscurity. Luke Skywalker, Rey, and even Han Solo each begin as seemingly ordinary individuals. Luke is a farm boy on Tatooine, Rey a scavenger surviving on Jakku, and Han a smuggler concerned with profit. Yet their paths reveal that ordinary beginnings are fertile ground for extraordinary contributions. This mirrors real life, where individuals who might be underestimated often reshape expectations. In society, as in fiction, what appears to be limitation often becomes strength. In our own world, kids who…

Hayden Christensen Confirmed for Comic Con Scotland 2025: Meet the Chosen One in Edinburgh
Hayden Christensen, the man behind one of the galaxy’s most controversial character arcs (hello, Jedi-turned-Sith), is packing up his lightsaber and heading to the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh for Comic Con Scotland 2025, taking place October 11th and 12th. Yes, you read that right. The actual Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka is appearing live in person.

How Much to Meet the Chosen One? If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “You were the Chosen One!” directly to Anakin’s face, now’s your chance—though it’ll cost you.

Star Wars Battlefront II: Ahsoka Tano Zygerrian Slave Mod – The Clone Wars Just Got Complicated
When it comes to Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) mods, the community never shies away from pushing creative (and sometimes controversial) boundaries. Enter the Ahsoka Tano Zygerrian Slave Mod, a head-turning reimagining of one of the most intense arcs from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This isn’t your average re-skin. It’s a full-blown trip into a dark chapter of Ahsoka’s journey — minus the censors, plus a whole lot of detail. The mod transforms her in-game appearance to reflect the Zygerrian slave outfit from the animated series. If that sentence alone raised an eyebrow, buckle in. A Quick Refresher: When Ahsoka Got Captured If you’ve been deep into Star Wars movies, books, comics, or video games, you probably remember the Zygerrian arc. In Season 4 of The Clone Wars, Ahsoka Tano infiltrates a Zygerrian slave market during a tense undercover operation. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t go great. She ends up…
