The Death Star wasn’t just a weapon; it was a symbol of Imperial dominance. But what if the Empire’s most feared superweapon was hamstrung from the very beginning by its own chief engineer? Enter: Galen Erso, the man responsible for the station’s reactor core design. And here’s where the conspiracy theory kicks in—what if the entire hunt for Kalkite on Ghorman was a deliberate act of sabotage orchestrated by Erso himself? What Is Kalkite, and Why Was It So Important? Kalkite is a rare mineral native to the planet Ghorman, renowned for its energy-generating properties. According to Imperial documents, it’s a key component in coating reactor lenses for maximum energy output. The Empire’s obsession with Kalkite extraction from Ghorman led to aggressive mining operations, destabilizing the planet’s infrastructure and leading to massive unrest. And yet, for all its supposed importance, Kalkite is never mentioned again after the Death Star’s initial…

Star Wars Battlefront II: Saw Gerrera’s Rebel Partisan – The Resistance Just Got Gritty

Dedra Meero in Andor: Ice-Cold, Methodical, and Weirdly Relatable
There are plenty of villains in Star Wars, but few strike the same nerve as Dedra Meero. Introduced in Andor as a mid-level bureaucrat in the Imperial Security Bureau, Dedra isn’t your typical dark-side enforcer. She doesn’t choke subordinates or twirl a cape. Instead, she builds power the old-fashioned way: one well-documented memo at a time. And that’s what makes her terrifying. But also, strangely… relatable? Who Is Dedra Meero? Dedra Meero is an ISB officer who quickly rises through the Imperial ranks thanks to her intellect, ambition, and complete devotion to authoritarian order.
